Two Canadians captured in Syria during the fight against the so-called Islamic State were arrested by the RCMP on Tuesday night after their flight landed in Montreal.
The women are the first the Canadian government has brought home from detention camps in northeast Syria for foreign ISIS members and their families.
You and I know that SFA will happen to these two monsters. They’ll likely have well paid government jobs courtesy of Justin in a year or so.
Unnamed foreign “adversaries” may have leveraged the Canadian “freedom movement” protests to advance their own interests, a newly-disclosed intelligence report suggest.
According to previously secret assessments by the Ontario Provincial Police’s (OPP) intelligence branch, the “available information” on Feb. 19 suggested that foreign actors may have pushed support for the movement, which fueled the convoy blockades in Ottawa and across the country, “to protect or enhance their own strategic economic and political interests.”
Again? First they did then they didn’t, now they did! Anything for Justin!
What if citizens at the ‘Restorative Justice’ meetings publicly state their support for Constable Neilson?
“Insiders say the Ottawa Police will tightly control the ‘Restorative Justice’ apology sessions included in the proposed sentence for Constable Kristina Neilson – but there is an internal debate as to whether the sessions should be invitation-only or open to the public.”
In the years before green ideology became ascendant in the federal government, and when Alberta was in its most active energy phase, there were many benefits to the Confederation. Not least, and being from Newfoundland, I like to point out how many people from my province—when it was reeling from the fishery collapse—found jobs and relief in Fort McMurray and allied projects in Alberta. One province helping another. I can’t think of a better model for a country built on mutual interdependence, which is why it’s styled a Confederation.
Canadian protesters against oppression in Iran were nearly car-rammed in Toronto on Sunday by an activist who had recently achieved notoriety for dressing as an orthodox Jew and harassing a Holocaust survivor about her position on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Commissioner Paul Rouleau made it clear at the start of the inquiry that its focus will remain squarely on the decision of the Federal Government to proclaim a public order emergency. As weeks of sworn and cross-examined testimony bring the events of last February into sharper view, we have yet to see any evidence of the essential precondition for such a declaration: terrorism.
At least two Canadian women have left a detention camp in Syria holding ISIS fighters and their family members, CBC News has learned.
The women crossed from the al-Roj camp in northeastern Syria headed for northern Iraq on Tuesday morning with an unknown number of children, according to multiple sources.
The intention is that the women and children will be repatriated to Canada, the sources said.
A source with direct knowledge of the file said they received information that Canadian Kimberly Polman is out of the camp and her tent has been taken down.
They should be left to rot.
This has, so far, been a year of hard lessons. Spiraling inflation has given households an expensive economic refresher course. A land war in Europe has offered an unwelcome reminder of old geopolitical and military truths. But arguably the most important lesson of 2022 concerns the point at which these economic, military and geopolitical considerations converge: energy.
JOLO CITY, Philippines — Ben Tattoo stood at the jailhouse door, looking resentful as he stuck his arms through the bars. Handed an orange t-shirt that branded him a detainee, he covered his face with it.
As a member of the Abu Sayyaf Group, Tattoo used to be the one who took prisoners and made them wear orange shirts.
In 2015, he kidnapped Canadians Robert Hall and John Ridsdel from a marina in the southern Philippines. When no ransoms were paid, he coldly beheaded them, on video for the world to see.
The Canadian military will replace over the next two to four years some of the equipment it sent to Ukraine but could face a problem acquiring replacements for the howitzers it donated.
The Canadian Army donated four M777 howitzers to Ukraine’s military and those guns have proven effective on the battlefield in that country’s war with Russia.
The premier of Alberta, Canada, said she is working on a plan to pardon residents who were fined or arrested over breaking coronavirus protocols, and apologized to unvaccinated Canadians who faced “discrimination.”
“I’m deeply sorry for anyone who was inappropriately subjected to discrimination as a result of their vaccine status,”Premier Danielle Smith said Saturday. “I am deeply sorry for any government employee that was fired from their job because of their vaccine status, and I welcome them back if they want to come back.”
Canada’s top economists are expecting the Bank of Canada to deliver another outsized rate hike on Wednesday in its continued fight against decades-high inflation.
The central bank is expected to raise the policy rate by 50 or 75 basis points as part of the Bank’s strategy of front-loading rate hikes, but comes at a time when recession calls are growing louder. Some economists are expecting the Bank to take its foot off the gas following this rate decision.
The moment from the Korean War that sticks with retired lieutenant-colonel Brian Simons happened at the beginning of the Battle of Hill 355 — a now largely forgotten struggle in an often overlooked war.
A young signaller attached to the Royal Canadian Regiment, Simons — a newly minted lieutenant at the time — was up on the rocky hillside at a battalion outpost when Chinese artillery and mortars opened up with their first deafening barrage.
When Michael Dagg sued the national archives for access to RCMP files on an obscure 1990s investigation into federal contracting practices, he knew he might not live long enough to win the fight.
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) told Mr. Dagg it would take 80 years to process his access-to-information request for the RCMP’s files on the investigation, code-named Project Anecdote. While federal information requests must be processed within 30 days, the Access to Information Act allows institutions to claim a one-time deadline extension.
These days, Eris Nyx is dressing up like she’s in the Vietnam War.
“I have a full tiger stripe war thing,” she says, referring to the camouflage patterns used during the conflict, “because it’s a war zone out there, and nobody is coming to help us.”
People continue to die around her — people she knows — of drug overdoses, as Canada remains in the grips of a deadly toxic drug crisis that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands.
