Man’s sentencing improperly considered deportation risk, B.C. court rules

In March of 2024, a middle-aged man was having a cigarette outside his Surrey, B.C., social housing complex when he noticed Jae Won Lee, a 23-year-old Australian-born permanent resident of Canada, lifting the cover off another resident’s motorcycle.

The man approached Lee to ask what he was doing, to which Lee replied, “Mind your own business, old man.”

Lee then pulled out a knife with a six-inch blade and stabbed the man’s arm before chasing him into the building’s lobby, where he stabbed him in the abdomen.

Cory Morgan: Self-Defence Isn’t Vigilantism—It’s an Integral Right of Canadians

When it comes to the right to defend oneself and one’s property in Canada, the nation doesn’t need to change the laws. It must change its attitude. Sections 34 and 35 of the Criminal Code make it clear that citizens may use force to defend themselves and their property. While many Canadians have been criminally charged for defending themselves with force, convictions are rare. The process is the punishment, however, as a person’s life can be put on hold while they navigate the legal system to exonerate themselves.

Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago as Trump eyes crackdown

The Pentagon has for weeks been planning a military deployment to Chicago as President Donald Trump seeks to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major cities, officials familiar with the matter said.

The planning, which has not been previously disclosed, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September to what is the third most populous city in the United States.

Inside a crypto heist: Hamilton youth who stole $48-million strikes again

On a summer day in 2022, a lonely, troubled youth appeared in a Hamilton courtroom to say he’s “very sorry” for stealing $48-million in cryptocurrency. “I intend to move forward only in a positive direction,” he said.

His lawyer said the 19-year-old now wanted to use his skills for good, to work in cybersecurity, “a fitting way for this case to come full circle.”

The judge sentenced the young man to a year of probation, taking into account the year he already spent in custody and the fact that he was 17 when he did the deed. The young man, who cannot be named under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act, was forbidden from dealing with crypto during his probation – not a significant deprivation, admittedly, but certainly damaging to the career of a young cybercriminal.

Canada’s ‘But you can’t hurt em self defence law’

Yes, self-defence is allowed in Canada. ‘Misinformation’ abounds as man charged in assault of intruder: lawyer

After a decision to charge a man for allegedly assaulting an intruder in his home in Lindsay, Ont., sparked widespread reaction this week, one criminal lawyer has a reminder for the public: self-defence is legal in Canada, but within reason.

The Kawartha Lakes Police Service has faced criticism for charging a 44-year-old man after an altercation that left the alleged intruder with life-threatening injuries Monday morning in the small town northeast of Toronto. Police have provided few details but say the resident is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, and the intruder, who is also facing charges, was airlifted to hospital afterward.

Cartels, Triads, and Trade-Based Money Laundering—From Pemex to Vancouver Casinos

In this episode of The Bureau Podcast, investigative journalist Sam Cooper sits down with Chris Meyer of WideFountain to trace the stunning global patterns of cartel, Triad, and Chinese Communist Party–linked networks penetrating legitimate trade structures to launder narcotics proceeds and move fentanyl and meth invisibly around the world.

Together, they examine how cartels and Chinese Triads exploit commodities, corporate shells, and international trade routes—controlling entire sectors like oil, seafood, and luxury goods—as part of a new hybrid criminal statecraft that links Mexico, Canada, China, and beyond.

The real white privilege

Protesting DC police is easy when your race isn’t being killed

Just the facts, using Grok:

  • In 2023, the homicide rate for black people in Washington DC was 88.2 per 100,000 people.
  • The homicide rate for non-black people in Washington DC was 6.1 per 100,000 people.

Grok can crunch numbers. That’s about it. Think of computers as calculators with pictures of our grandchildren. OK, you no longer have to punch in 80085 to see boobs.

White people are the only ones protesting President Donald John Trump bringing in MPs from the National Guard and other law enforcement agencies.

A Nation Built on Sand: How Canada Squanders Its Abundance

OTTAWA — Canada is celebrated abroad as a safe, prosperous, and open society. But beneath the surface, a far more precarious reality is taking shape. The pillars of our economy — land, real estate, natural resources, and immigration — have been left vulnerable to foreign manipulation, criminal exploitation, and political negligence. The result is what can only be described as a sandcastle economy — striking at first glance, but fragile. Like the parable of the house built on sand, it is a foundation vulnerable to give way when the storm comes.

WARMINGTON: Too many young people gunned down in Toronto to remember their names

Toronto is a city that eats its young. And then forgets about them.

Until the next innocent young person is shot to death. Then Toronto says what it needs to say to get through the unspeakable reality before moving on and going back to status quo — albeit without the latest murder victim, of course.
