Canadians are asking — given Myles Sanderson’s history of violence and 59 criminal convictions as an adult — how the man police accuse of fatally stabbing 10 people and injuring 18 more, along with his now-deceased brother, could have been released from prison by the Parole Board of Canada.
Last week, it was widely reported in the Canadian media that dozens of Chinese-Canadian organizations had come together to condemn an upcoming parliamentary trade mission to Taiwan. However, what was missed at the time was that the organizations in question were actually members of China’s “United Front” network, which is tasked with influencing foreign societies to Beijing’s benefit.
Careful, you’ll anger Canada’s 5th Columnist China class. Right Justin?
In 2011, the German Baltic Sea Nature Conservation Foundation (Naturschutzstiftung Deutsche Ostsee) was created as a result of an agreement between Nord-Stream, the three main environmental organisations in Germany — WWF, BUND (“Friends of the Earth”), NABU — and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This foundation was immediately provided with a lucrative budget of ten million euros by Nord Stream.
Vladimir Putin’s ‘energy blackmail’ over Europe could lead to ‘civil unrest’ this winter, the NATO Secretary General has warned.
Jens Stoltenberg acknowledged that winter ‘will be hard’ as ‘families and businesses feel the crunch of soaring energy prices and costs of living’ in the coming months.
Writing in the Financial Times, the boss of the Western security alliance said that it is worth paying the price to support Ukraine.
OH my yes. Poor people should make sure the NATO chief is well fed, warm and cozy.
Military pro-war bloggers with frontline contacts offer rare insight into Russia’s performance on ground
“The war in Ukraine will continue until the complete defeat of Russia,” Igor Girkin, a far-right nationalist, grumbled in a video address to his 430,000 followers on Telegram on Monday. “We have already lost, the rest is just a matter of time.”
Girkin, a former Russian intelligence colonel who became a commander of the pro-Russian separatist forces in 2014, is arguably the most prominent voice within an increasingly loud and angry group of ultra-nationalist and pro-war bloggers who have taken to berating the Kremlin for its failure to achieve its tactical objectives as the fighting in Ukraine has entered its seventh month.

People in Switzerland who violate the country’s new heating rules which forbid setting the temperature above 19°C (66.2F) in the colder months will face up to three years in prison.
Yes, really.
Under the new rules, buildings that use gas heating systems are restricted to 19°C, while hot water can only be heated up to 60°C and radiant heaters are banned entirely.

ROSTHERN, Saskatchewan (AP) — The last suspect in a horrific stabbing rampage that killed 10 and wounded 18 in western Canada is dead following his capture, but how he died after being taken into custody has prompted fresh investigations.
One official said Myles Sanderson, 32, died from self-inflicted injuries Wednesday after police forced the stolen car he was driving off a highway in Saskatchewan. Other officials declined to discuss how he died .
Death claims for working-age adults under group life insurance policies spiked well beyond expected levels last summer and fall, according to data from 20 of the top 21 life insurance companies in the United States.
Death claims for adults aged 35 to 44 were 100 percent higher than expected in July, August, and September 2021, according to a report by the Society of Actuaries, which analyzed 2.3 million death claims submitted to life insurance firms.
François Legault has apologized for comments he made citing the threat of “extremism” and “violence” as well as the need to preserve Quebec’s way of life as reasons to limit the number of immigrants to the province.
“Immigration is a richness for Quebec,” the leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec tweeted Wednesday late afternoon, hours after he made the statement at an election campaign stop in Victoriaville, Que.
“Integration will always be a challenge for a French-speaking nation in North America. I didn’t mean to associate immigration with violence. I am sorry if my comments caused confusion. My desire is to unite.”
VANCOUVER – Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says that in the face of considerable attention on an increase in hate and harassment online, the federal government feels it has an “obligation” to advance legislative and regulatory changes aimed at tamping down harmful content.
“There’s a consensus on the fact that we have to do something. Not everybody agrees on what exactly, but the fact that status quo is not possible. And whoever says ‘oh no, no, you shouldn’t do anything on this’ has to justify why status quo is OK,” Rodriguez told reporters at the Liberal cabinet retreat in Vancouver, referencing his ongoing consultations on the plan.
Back in 2016 when she was running for the U.S. presidency, Hillary Clinton made a shocking — and unwise — comment about “deplorables” who were among Donald Trump’s supporters.
In what she called a “basket of deplorables,” Clinton cited some Trump backers as “racists, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic.”
Clinton insisted she was speaking about only a small percentage of Trump’s followers, but the damage to her campaign was done, with analysts denouncing the comment and Trump fans soon proudly sporting hats and T-shirts labelling themselves as deplorable.
A crazed gunman flashed a wide grin as he was arrested by cops in Memphis, Tennesee, after reportedly going on a shooting spree which he live streamed on Facebook – after being released early for aggravated assault.
Ezekiel Kelly, 19, launched his alleged rampage just before 1am and terrorized the city for more than 19 hours, killing four people and injuring three others.
The teenager has a violent criminal record, with police linking him to eight different incidents and warned terrified members of the public to stay away from him in a social media post at around 7pm on Wednesday.
A faction that blockaded the Canada-U.S. border in Alberta last winter to protest COVID-19 health measures was stockpiling weapons to use against police, according to allegations unsealed on Wednesday.
The RCMP alleged in search warrant applications filed in court that anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators who six months gathered in Coutts, Alta., were “arming themselves for a standoff against police.”
The allegations were based partly on information collected by police through wiretaps and undercover officers who infiltrated a hangout where a group of protesters met in a basement.
Is that a whiff of Whitmer?
The Queen is under medical supervision after doctors became concerned for her health this morning, Buckingham Palace revealed today, as the Prince of Wales, Camilla and the Duke of Cambridge to be with the 96-year-old monarch.
Her Majesty’s immediate family members have been informed about the downturn, her spokesman said, leading to her two heirs – Charles and William – going to her bedside amid escalating fears for the monarch’s wellbeing.
