Crime

When a person apologizes, it’s implied that they did something wrong.

That’s why, if you’ve heard anything about the recent laying of sex assault charges against five men who played for Team Canada in the world juniors in 2018, you might have the impression that the London Police Service is utterly incompetent. Finally, six years after police first interviewed the complainant, the matter has now started its journey through the courts. The average headline contains a damning phrase: “Police apologize.”

He and his 8 research assistants took a year to complete the research, he had 8 more reexamine the data to be certain…and they still couldn’t accept his findings cause it challenged their race-baiting ✊🏾 narrative. https://t.co/m3TJTgIELT

You can’t get a bottle of shampoo larger than 100 ml past security on a commercial flight, so how is it that 4,000-pound stolen cars, luxury SUVs or pickup trucks can be shipped across the ocean without detection?

With car theft accelerating in Canada, the federal government and law enforcement officials say more needs to be done to restrict the different technologies being used by criminals to steal vehicles.

The country’s auto theft problem was front and centre in the capital, Ottawa, Thursday with cabinet ministers meeting law enforcement agencies, border officials and other industry stakeholders at a national summit to combat increasing vehicle thefts.

Baltimore’s disgraced former District Attorney Marilyn Mosby gave wracked sobs as she was convicted of mortgage fraud, meaning she now faces decades in prison.

Mosby, a Democrat, was on Tuesday convicted of using a bogus COVID hardship claim to tap into her retirement funds to buy one of two Florida vacation homes. she owns.

The former top prosecutor, who served two terms as Baltimore’s state attorney, was found guilty on Tuesday on one count of mortgage fraud for lying on financial documents regarding a luxury condo she purchased in Long Boat Key located on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Cabinet ministers maintain that Canadians can expect to see action coming out of their Thursday summit on how to tackle what’s been called a “crisis” of rising auto thefts.

“We want to take action on something that that touches people in their daily lives,” Industry Minister Francois-Phillippe Champagne said Wednesday morning on his way into the Liberal caucus meeting.

Two teenagers are facing several charges after allegedly stealing a car that had a young child and baby inside.

Officers were called to the area of Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West around 3:30 p.m. Thursday after getting reports of a stolen vehicle.

Police said a woman was putting groceries into her car when a 13-year-old male allegedly jumped in the running vehicle and drove away. A four-year-old child and seven-month-old baby were inside at the time.

I used to live in that area back when Lawrence and Weston was like a prosperous small town downtown.

The neighborhood demographics changed as businesses started pulling out or closing, Loblaws, the Beer & the Liquor Store, Beaver Lumber, Countrystyle Donuts and the Odeon movie theatre.

Weston Road never recovered. It’s a ghetto now, shootings, stabbings etc. are a regular occurrence.

All that’s left is crappy dollar stores and vibrant diversity.

The case of an Ontario man accused of sending lethal substances to people who later took their own lives will proceed by direct indictment.

Kenneth Law is charged with 14 counts of both first-degree murder as well as counselling and aiding suicide.

Law appeared by video feed in court today where the prosecutors confirmed the attorney general had decided to proceed by direct indictment, sending the case directly to trial in Superior Court without a preliminary inquiry.

Almost eight tonnes of methamphetamine were seized by Canadian border agents in the Pacific Region last year — nearly four times all the illicit meth seizures combined from 2018 to 2022.

Despite the record finds by the Canada Border Services Agency, no one has been charged in B.C. for any of the massive loads, which were mostly destined for Australia and New Zealand and linked to transnational organized crime.

Critics say the lack of consequences is just one of the reasons B.C. — and Canada — has become a safe place to do business for some of the biggest international criminals.

Legalize crime, as pro-crime activists did in the name of ‘criminal justice reform’ and you don’t just get more crime, you get third world living conditions as criminals go after everything.
