Who is this youth, lying unconscious in a bed at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, with life-threatening injuries?
Don’t know.
Why has no one come forward to put a name to the boy?
Don’t know.
How can it be that nobody is missing him?
It is a shame but I will not share blame or guilt any longer for the bad policy decisions made by people who hate me.
CHAMPLAIN, New York and WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) – Bookseller Zulema Diaz fled her native Peru after being kidnapped, beaten and robbed, hoping to find safety in the United States. Instead, she said she experienced homelessness and sexual harassment as she worked off-the-books on a hospital cleaning crew.
So when Diaz, 46, heard New York City was distributing free bus tickets, she said she hopped on a bus for Plattsburgh, a town close to the Canadian border, then took a taxi to the irregular crossing at Roxham Road to enter Canada and file an asylum claim.
The prime minister provided an index of that anxiety. His performance, either in the House or outside, was far more sad than effective. Stonewall mode is not his best look, and blatantly ignoring reporters’ questions, as he did in a scrum on Wednesday, comes off — as it is — as rude and condescending.
The extremely annoying habit he has of rattling off whatever string of words he has stored up for when he’s questioned — regardless of the actual question asked — was on full and embarrassing display. This habit is even more annoying when he indulges in multiple repeats of the same string of words. As he did so often this week, when Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre — as trenchant a presence in question period as we have seen in a while — put him under the laser beam.
At the end of my road last week the mayor of Washington was taking questions about a crime surge in the American capital that has become a national talking point.
Flanked by the city’s chief of police, Muriel Bowser spoke to residents of our neighbourhood, Adams Morgan, in an effort to ease the growing sense of alarm we have noticed since moving house just before Christmas.
A Montreal area city councillor who oversees two organizations suspected by the RCMP of hosting Chinese police stations has been asked to step aside during a police probe of the issue.
Brossard Mayor Doreen Assaad said she asked councillor Xixi Li to recuse herself from her role during the RCMP investigation, reported the Journal de Montréal on March 10.
A Texas trooper is warning Americans to rethink traveling to Mexico after three women vanished when crossing the border to sell clothes at a flea market – joining the more than 500 US citizens currently missing in the country.
Lieutenant Chris Olivarez, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told travelers gearing up for Spring Break to be careful when planning vacations to the popular travel destination.
‘Our department is urging anyone traveling to Mexico, especially spring breakers, to avoid those areas, because right now it is too dangerous with the increase in violence and kidnappings in Mexico,’ Lieutenant Olivarez told Fox News. ‘I can’t express enough to those thinking about traveling to Mexico, especially to spring breakers…to avoid those areas as much as possible.’
It is a relationship that dates back to 1904 when King Edward VII bestowed a royal title on Canada’s North West Mounted Police, the predecessors of today’s famous Mounties.
Now that long relationship has found its latest incarnation in the shape of Noble, a seven-year-old, 16.2-hands high black mare.
She has just been gifted to King Charles and is settling into her new home at the Royal Mews in Windsor where His Majesty met her for the first time last week.
Why are we giving Richie Rich a horsey? Prince Andrew is ‘bewildered’ and ‘in despair’ that the King has not shared the £650million inheritance from the Queen with his siblings after being the sole beneficiary of his mother’s fortune
A dad walked into a Minnesota police station “covered in blood” and told police he beat a man with a shovel 15 to 20 times and “finished him off” with a moose antler, according to court documents.
The suspect, Levi Axtell, 27, was taken into custody and arraigned Friday on a second-degree murder charge in the death of 77-year-old Lawrence V. Scully, who was convicted of molesting a 6-year-old girl in 1979.
OTTAWA—Facebook and Instagram’s parent company says it will stop making news content available on its platforms if the proposed federal Online News Act passes in its current form.
Meta spokesperson Lisa Laventure says the company made the decision because the act will require it to pay publishers for links or content it doesn’t post.
Laventure says paying for these posts is neither sustainable nor workable for Meta.
Historical figures praised in their day may now be perceived as ‘aggressors’ out ‘to expand the British Empire’, warns new guidance
Statues of “old white men” such as the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Lord Nelson could be hidden or destroyed to create the “right historical narrative”, according to Welsh government guidance.
Historical statues that often glorify “powerful, older, able-bodied white men” may be “offensive” to a more diverse modern public, according to guidance which is expected to be finalised this month.
A recent Washington Post article slammed a Denver nonprofit known as Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal (CLCR), saying the organization “spent millions on app data that tracked gay priests.” Elsewhere, the Post cited anonymous sources and no other evidence to claim that “those familiar with [CLCR’s] project said the organizers’ focus was gay priests.”
An email landed in Andrew Sinclair’s inbox. You’ve just been paid,” it read. Except, he hadn’t. The 51-year-old father of three, head of sales at the New York research firm Quill Intelligence, logged into his bank account and saw that no money had landed.
“My life runs pretty tight, so I look forward to my cheque,” he said.
Confused, he contacted Rippling, the start-up that handles payroll for his employer. Rippling didn’t respond, but on Twitter, he saw Rippling’s chief executive, Parker Conrad, had just tweeted a mea culpa.
More at WSJ – Where Were the Regulators as SVB Crashed?
Silicon Valley Bank’s failure boils down to a simple misstep: It grew too fast using borrowed short-term money from depositors who could ask to be repaid at any time, and invested it in long-term assets that it was unable, or unwilling, to sell.
When interest rates rose quickly, it was saddled with losses that ultimately forced it to try to raise fresh capital, spooking depositors who yanked their funds in two days. The question following the bank’s takeover Friday: How could regulators have allowed it to grow so quickly and take on so much interest-rate risk?
RESISTANCE is a strong word, evoking clandestine struggle against overwhelming odds: underground networks, such as the Dutch and French Resistance, refusing to accept occupation. Such movements attain near-mythical status, become hard-wired into national psyches. Resistance conjures an opaque world of subterfuge, valour and loyalty. It entails sober acknowledgement of usurped power, and daring, sometimes uncompromising, methods to wrest it back.
The real foreign election interference Democrats don’t want to talk about.
Democrats and their media claim that there’s an urgent crisis of foreign influence in our elections. Yet every time one actually emerges, like Iran helping Biden in 2020, there’s sudden silence.
A foreign leader can get up and announce that he will interfere in elections on behalf of the Democrats and only a few conservative outlets will even cover it.
In early February, a Philippine coast guard vessel approached a small outpost in the South China Sea when it was hit by green laser beams that temporarily blinded its crew. The source was a
Chinese coast guard ship, which Philippine authorities said approached dangerously close.
A few weeks earlier, the U.S. military accused a Chinese fighter pilot of another unsafe action over the waterway—flying within 20 feet of the nose of a U.S. Air Force aircraft.
Before that came a November incident involving a Philippine boat that was towing debris from a Chinese rocket launch. China’s coast guard deployed an inflatable boat to cut the tow line and retrieve the object, said Philippine officials.
