Death toll rises to four after Michigan church shooting and arson attack

At least four people were killed and eight others injured after a gunman drove a vehicle into a Michigan church, opened fire and set the building ablaze, before being killed himself, police say.

Officials said the attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a town 60 miles (100km) northwest of Detroit, happened during a Sunday service attended by hundreds of people.

The suspect, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from Burton, Michigan, was later shot dead by police in the building’s car park.

Canada Post denies Ottawa’s reforms give it leverage over striking union in negotiations

Canada Post is denying the Liberal government’s directive to change the postal service’s operational model gives it leverage over the striking union in negotiations, as the two sides continue their days-long showdown.

“I wouldn’t argue that it’s given us any leverage,” said Jon Hamilton, a spokesperson for Canada Post during an interview on Rosemary Barton Live that aired Sunday. “[The union] walked out in response to them.”

Is there anything worth salvaging?

Gun Grab Gary in focus: Anandasangaree’s life, career, and the controversies shaping his tenure

Gary Anandasangaree’s story begins in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, where he was born into a family marked by politics and conflict. His mother brought him to Canada in 1983 after anti-Tamil riots swept the country, while his father, V. Anandasangaree, remained behind as a prominent Tamil politician.

Four decades later, the boy who arrived as a refugee is now Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, overseeing one of Ottawa’s most politically fraught portfolios.

The sinister arrest of my autistic son over a Hamas tweet

THE evil Starmer has been writing in the Telegraph, confessing that the Left ‘ignored immigration fears for too long’.

His response is to offer a plan for ‘patriotic renewal’ (whatever that is) which he asserts is the only thing that will counter ‘the rise of the populist right’. Towards the conclusion of his piece, he writes: ‘For Labour, we are clear that we must absolutely respond to the reasonable concerns about immigration.’

The damning dossier of evidence piling up against George Soros… and the ‘smoking gun’ that could bring him down

Progressive billionaire George Soros and his $32billion Open Society Foundations (OSF) are facing the most serious threat in their decades-long history. This comes as the Justice Department drew up plans last week to investigate the liberal funding giant for everything from arson to material support of terrorism.

Speaking exclusively with the Daily Mail, Ryan Mauro – an investigator with the conservative Capital Research Center (CRC) – said the evidence against Soros, 95, was already hiding in plain sight, and prosecutors now have the tools to uncover what he called a ‘smoking gun’ that has yet to be discovered.

‘[It] could be an undisclosed bank transaction. It could be a communication. It could be classified intelligence that just hasn’t been shared in the right way – but it’s already out there,’ he said.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s statist legacy

Prime Minister Mark Carney does not, as far I know, surf. So there should be no danger that he will spend his first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as prime minister splashing about in Tofino, B.C., as his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, did in 2021.

The current prime minister does gruelling trail runs, though, so I suppose he could slip out into the Gatineau Hills. But he won’t. Likely he will participate in solemn ceremonies and pledge more government action. It is not clear that the latter will do any good for Indigenous people, but I hope Carney will also be better than Trudeau on the ceremonial part.

Transantifa: 33 children shot by transgender terrorists.

Three years before a leftist transgender-linked gunman murdered Charlie Kirk, a transgender assassin tried to carry out his plan to kill three Supreme Court justices to wipe out humanity.

At one in the morning, Nicholas Roske allegedly showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home carrying a gun, zip ties and tools for breaking and entering. Roske was angry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion because he believed that abortion should be “mandatory for pregnant women” so that “no new people would be born” and “humanity will end”.

The WHO’s anti-alcohol campaign is a war against joy

My wife and I were at a university reunion last week. Twenty years on from our days of wine and roses, our contemporaries were looking well. Inevitably many of our reminiscences involved occasions when, as my Ulster Presbyterian forebears would say, strong drink had been taken.

I certainly hope that no undercover agents from the World Health Organization were present, listening to our stories and tutting. At a panel discussion at the General Assembly of the UN this week, Dr Saia Piukala, the WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific, set out his case for increasingly heavy restrictions on alcohol. It wasn’t quite a roadmap to Prohibition, but it wasn’t far off. He praised countries which have been steeply increasing alcohol taxes, and noted with pride that he had banned booze completely from all WHO events within his region.

BARCLAY: Canada is a failing state

For decades, the Canadian state has consistently located itself at the vanguard of progress and national excellence.

For instance, from 2006-2014, Canada’s GDP steadily increa    sed, crime declined, and the Canadian state was often lauded as a paragon of democracy. Furthermore, throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, Canada remained a stalwart, esteemed member of the international community, and Canadians everywhere constantly enjoyed a remarkable quality of life.

UK: Fury after woke NHS supports first-cousin marriages despite risk of birth defects

The NHS has been accused of ‘taking the knee’ to political correctness by advocating the benefits of marriages between cousins – despite it carrying an increased risk of birth defects and being used as a way to oppress women.

The guidance – which incredibly points out that it has been allowed in Britain since Henry VIII passed a law enabling him to marry Anne Boleyn’s cousin Catherine Howard – says that cousin marriage offers benefits such as ‘stronger extended family support systems’.

The practice, which is common in the British Pakistani community, has been linked to a greater prevalence of disorders such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease.

‘Recognising Palestine is prize for Hamas’: what young Israelis really think

Air raids, Tel Aviv-style, are a peculiarly relaxed affair.

When the klaxon wailed out on a warm Thursday night, Nahalat Binyamin Street, the main destination for the coolest bars and restaurants, was heaving with immaculate women in minidresses and muscular young men in shorts and T-shirts.

But rather than sprint for cover from the Yemeni rocket attack, the revellers simply picked up their ice creams and wine glasses and, with a collective sigh, slouched into a side door of the swanky Arte gelateria. They called it a bomb shelter, but it seemed to me as if a well-aimed projectile would crush it like a matchbox.

Alberta has banned graphic books before. In the 1950s, ‘salacious’ comics were the target

OK this is a little bit salacious.

Alberta’s revised restrictions on books in schools take aim at works containing explicit images of sexual acts, but it’s not the first time the province has banned graphics in the name of protecting children.

In 1954, the province established the Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications to control the sale of comic books and magazines.

The board was developed in response to a “growing outcry from parents, educators, religious leaders and others,” to investigate so-called “crime comics” that supposedly inspired undesirable behaviour in kids.


This is the CBC’s latest attempt to redraw Alberta’s ban on pervert positive child-grooming propaganda in schools as a “free speech” gender-health issue.

You can just hear the sophisticates at the CBC “Oh man this will rile the rubes!”

EscalatorGate: The US left’s hatred — of Trump & the right — has now gone global

President Donald Trump just visited the United Nations to offer a customary annual presidential address.

Before he arrived, there were reports that UN staffers had joked about shutting down the escalator to chastise Trump for cutting out aid to some UN programs.

Upon arrival, as if on cue, Trump was met by a series of mysterious coincidences.
