Police investigating the drowning of eight people attempting to cross a river between Canada the the United States are searching for a man believed to be linked to people-smuggling, as new details of the victims emerge.

The bodies of eight people, including two young children, were discovered last week along the marshy banks of the St Lawrence River near the Mohawk community of Akwesasne, which spans Quebec, Ontario and New York state.

The Akwesasne Mohawk police service said on Sunday it was continuing a search for resident Casey Oakes, last spotted boarding a boat similar to the one located near eight drowned migrants.

What role did money play in Barry and Honey Sherman’s deaths?

Behind the shadows – He was a pharmaceutical mogul. She was a giant in the philanthropic community. Five years after Barry and Honey Sherman’s shocking deaths, the mystery still swirls about why they died. Could it have been their money?

When media reported on Dec. 15, 2017, that Barry and Honey Sherman had been found dead in their Toronto home, it became the rare Canadian event that garnered international attention.

“Very quickly, it became a big story,” said Matthew Campbell, a Canadian reporter and editor for Bloomberg Businessweek. “There aren’t a lot of stories from Canada that go global, and there certainly aren’t a lot of stories from Canada that you get asked about at dinner parties in London and Paris, as I was over the next few months.”

How the Orwellian UK surrenders to Islamists

You can’t make this up. The paradoxes of living with Islam in the once-democratic UK of 2023 bring Orwell’s 1984′ to life.

In 1984 Soviet dissident Gunnars Astra was sentenced to twelve years’ imprisonment for possessing, among others, a copy of “1984” by George Orwell. In contemporary society, where everything seems to move incessantly towards progress, rights and freedom for all, it is difficult to grasp the paradoxes of the new 1984. We need a clear mind and intellectual courage.

Child abuse and grooming gangs ‘fed by political correctness’

Political correctness has fuelled the sexual exploitation of children, Rishi Sunak will say as he announces a plan to stamp out “evil” grooming gangs.

The prime minister will form a task force led by the National Crime Agency, with data analysis used to help the police to “identify the types of criminals who carry out these offences”.

Being involved in a grooming gang will become an aggravating factor during sentencing, and adults working with children will have a mandatory duty to report any suspicions that a child is being abused.

Net Zero: The Left now has a demonic new aim: to make ordinary people poorer

The net zero ‘debate’ has revealed a stunning shift in the basic assumptions that underpin Left-wing political thinking

We are living through the most startling political realignment in more than 100 years. Never since the advent of modern socialism in the early 20th century has the Left openly advocated making ordinary people poorer, thereby leaving those on the Right to defend the spread of mass prosperity. The debate (if this tendentious chorus of unanimity can be called a debate) on net zero has entirely shifted the ground on which modern political discourse has been based.

Darya Trepova: What we know about accused in Russian blogger Vladlen Tatarsky’s killing

The detention of Darya Trepova for the murder of Russian pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky has raised questions about the young woman’s background and politics.

Russia media reports say Ms Trepova, 26, handed Tatarsky a statuette which was believed to contain the explosives that killed him and injured more than 30 people. Later in a video released by the Russian Interior Ministry, she is seen admitting she brought the statuette to the cafe where the blast took place.

However, her statement was most likely obtained under duress, and she does not say whether she knew about the explosives.

Trump: The Man to Bring Down?

The indictment of former President Donald Trump is just the latest maneuver by many in the United States to distort elections.

The indictment will not be known until tomorrow, but according to the American media, the former president is accused of making fraudulent payments to a porn star with whom Trump denies having had sexual relations. According to the claims of his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who went to prison for “lying to the Internal Revue Services about the taxes he owed, lying to financial institutions and lying to Congress,” Trump is accused of making the payments with funds from his 2016 presidential campaign, which is prohibited. But Trump did not use campaign funds, which would actually have been a serious violation of campaign laws. Trump used his personal money — to pay Cohen.

Teacher shot by 6-year-old student says school ignored warning signs: $40M suit

The Virginia teacher shot by a 6-year-old student filed a $40 million lawsuit on Monday, accusing school officials of repeatedly ignoring warnings that the disturbed youngster had a gun.

Abigail Zwerner, 25, filed the suit nearly three months after she was shot while teaching at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News by a first-grader with “a history of random violence,” according to the lawsuit.

I am a little surprised that we don’t see this type of suit in the news more often given the horrid state of many US public school systems.
