The first person to find the bodies of Barry and Honey Sherman inside the pool room of their Forest Hill home had no doubt they were the victims of a double homicide.
“Someone has killed my clients,” Sherman real estate agent Elise Stern told the 911 operator on Dec. 15, 2017. The grotesque tableau she witnessed was to her untrained eye a double murder. The gardener, who saw the bodies a few minutes after, came to the same conclusion.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorneys argued on Wednesday that the disgraced British socialite should be sentenced to “well below” the 20 years imprisonment that probation authorities have recommended in her New York federal sex-trafficking case.
In a pre-sentencing report, Maxwell’s attorneys provided detailed descriptions of her allegedly perilous conditions in jail, and described an emotionally distressing upbringing, as part of their argument for leniency.
They made the shocking allegation that “an inmate in Ms Maxwell’s unit threatened to kill her, claiming that an additional 20 years’ incarceration would be worth the money she’d receive for murdering Ms Maxwell”.
Twenty-five people have been treated for burns in northern Switzerland after they walked across hot coals as part of a team-building exercise.
Thirteen of them were taken to hospital and treated for more severe injuries after the incident on Tuesday evening.
A large emergency response, including 10 ambulances, arrived at the private event at around 18:00 (16:00 GMT).
The group walked over a bed of coals that was several metres long and felt pain shortly after, police said.
Rideau Hall says Gov. Gen. Mary Simon shares the public’s concerns about a $93,000-plus catering bill racked up on a government plane during a work trip in March to the Middle East.
Simon’s office said the Canadian Armed Forces is responsible for the Governor General’s flights during her working visits abroad and is “responsible for all decisions relating to catering on these flights.”
The current heat wave blazing through Kansas feedlots has killed an estimated 10,000 head of fat cattle.
Final death numbers continue to come in, but that early estimate was shared with DTN by livestock experts, who put the geographical center point for those deaths at Ulysses, Kansas.
DTN calls to feedlots in the area and to ranchers whose branded animals were seen in some privately shared photos of dead cattle were not immediately returned.
Apparently this is video of the 3000 cattle that died in SW Kansas. Original tweet said heat, farmer I talked in Kansas said it wasn’t the heat. pic.twitter.com/OlPks10ji8

Stephen Clouthier, a lifelong hunter from the Ottawa Valley, has always been a private man, but when the Ontario Provincial Police seized his firearms, he took a stand in public court, where he represented himself and won his long arms back.
The problem with the Toronto Police report released Wednesday concluding that Blacks, Indigenous people and other racial minorities are disproportionately targeted by police when it comes to use-of-force incidents and body searches, is that it looks at only half the issue.
I’ll give Goldstein credit, no one else in the MSM is pointing out the obvious, some within these “Over-Policed” communities disproportionately commit more crimes.
No one takes the report seriously because of the blatant dishonesty of the race hustlers behind it. And to societies detriment the default position taken by most of the bought media and our politicians remains cowardice for happily playing along with this charade.
It’s not pleasant to be a target but some good reporters do remain stalwart in the face of assaults by the cancel culture racists. Look at the flack Terry Glavin has taken for pointing out the holes in the “potential mass graves” narrative.
We need an honest media willing to face the race hustlers head on but that won’t happen while they remain in Trudeau’s employ.
Canada’s military police have charged recently retired Lt.-Gen. Trevor Cadieu — who had been tapped to lead the army late last year — with two counts of sexual assault.
The Canadian Forces Provost Marshal announced the charges in a press release on Wednesday, saying the charges were laid by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service.
… Cadieu is currently in Ukraine where he has been serving as a senior advisor to the Ukrainian military after suddenly retiring from the Canadian Forces in April. In a statement, Cadieu said he is returning and will cooperate with the judicial process.
Experts and families of healthy, young people who have suddenly died are speaking out about Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, or Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, known more commonly as SADS.
SADS, according to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), “is an umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths in young people (usually 40 years of age), whose cause of death following post mortem examination is ‘undetermined’ or ‘unascertained.’”
Authorities in Saudi Arabia have been seizing rainbow-coloured toys and children’s clothing, which they claim encourage homosexuality, state TV says.
An Al-Ekhbariya report showed commerce ministry officials removing a range of items from shops in the capital Riyadh.
They included hair clips, pop-its, t-shirts, hats and pencil cases.
One official said the items “contradict the Islamic faith and public morals, and promote homosexual colours targeting the younger generation”.
… There are very few things Republicans and Democrats see eye-to-eye on these days so we should take note when there’s an emerging bipartisan consensus about Canada. When U.S. officials look at Canada through both red and blue lenses, three “Ds” pop out at them: dairy imports, digital taxes and defence spending.
These three “Ds” pose a particular risk to the Canada-U.S. relationship because, in each case, the White House and Congress believe Canada isn’t following through on commitments we’ve made to them. Whatever our own understanding of Canadian policies in these areas, to the Americans it looks like we’re going back on our word.
I blame Junior.
An 1,800 page report commissioned by the provincial government has found hundreds of millions of dollars of cash was laundered through B.C. casinos between 2008 and 2018.
The report by Austin Cullen is the result of 133 days of hearings, where the Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia heard testimony from 199 witnesses.
Cullen was highly critical of the B.C. Lottery Corporation and several provincial ministers responsible for gaming for not doing enough to stop the rampant money laundering, which he says was happening in plain sight.
It’s a feature not a bug.
Mississippi leaders of the New Black Panther Party spoke out against black-on-black violence and the crime crisis gripping their community Tuesday.
“Black people shouldn’t be killing black people, under no circumstances,” member Steven Harris said during a press conference in Jackson, Mississippi. “You have to love your people.”
Crime and death in the community have reached a crisis point, according to Sherrell Potts, a commander in the New Black Panther Party.
Next week, the World Health Organization will convene to assess whether the Monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern.
Thus it comes to fruition that the WHO hold the fate of Canada and other western nations in the palm of its hands. A designation of the Monkeypox virus comparable to the Covid catastrophe of 2019-2022 delivers a sinister scenario:
If and when they choose, World Health Organization maintains an ability to rewire western society. Declare a pandemic, and Canada falls under the control of a Geneva, Switzerland-based global health conglomerate.
If it was really about holding big platforms accountable, why did the Liberals vote against thresholds that would have done exactly that?
Despite the Trudeau government’s decision to suspend the vaccine mandate for domestic travel, People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier and former Premier of Newfoundland Brian Peckford say they will continue their legal challenge against the federal government’s vaccine mandates.
Wow

President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he would consider using his emergency war powers to increase gas production in a letter to oil companies.
Biden warns oil companies in his letter that “at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable.”
U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday demanded oil refining companies explain why they are not putting more gasoline on the market, sharply escalating his rhetoric against industry as he faces pressure over rising prices.
Biden wrote to executives from Marathon Petroleum Corp, Valero Energy Corp and Exxon Mobil Corp and complained they had cut back on oil refining to pad their profits, according to a copy of the letter https://docsend.com/view/qpg3e8a2s3fbxi3a seen by Reuters.
Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm pushed back against the notion that there were too many regulations on oil refineries, and that was behind the lack of production.
Host Joe Scarborough asked Granholm if President Joe Biden should “level with the American people” and admit that overregulation was an issue.
Granholm replied that regulations were not behind the lack of production. She argued that “something else is going on,” pointing out that the price of oil per barrel had remained around the same amount.
The FBI either lied to a federal judge about having video of its secretive 2018 dig for Civil War-era gold, or illegally destroyed the video to prevent a father-son team of treasure hunters from gaining access to it, an attorney for the duo asserted in new legal filings that allege a government cover-up.
The FBI has long insisted its agents recovered nothing of value when they went looking for the fabled gold cache. But Finders Keepers, a treasure-hunting company that led agents to the remote woodland site in Pennsylvania in hopes of getting a finder’s fee, suspect the FBI found tons of gold and made off with it.
