Poor baby Preston didn’t have much of a start in life. His mother Sarah, now 42, was jailed aged 14 for the 1998 torture and murder of a pensioner. Preston was, justifiably, taken from her after birth. Given these unpropitious circumstances, it was the job of the state – here Oldham council – to give him a fair start in life. To begin with, that’s what happened; a decent foster family looked after him.

Peak woke wickedness. This poor child was horribly abused, much like the Two mom’s case in Ontario and the Atlanta nightmare.

Gangs like B.C.’s Brothers Keepers and Toronto’s Driftwood Crips work closely together in the rap music business and in criminality, an Ontario expert says.

Andrew Hammond, a sergeant with the Toronto Police Service and president of the Organization for National Gang Information and Awareness (ONGIA), told Postmedia News that Canadian street gangs have broadened their operations both across Canada and internationally.

“This has been building for the last six, seven or eight years,” said Hammond. “The reach of these gang members now, it’s national, it’s international.”

The RCMP is seeking access to messages and photos on a cellphone belonging to former Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek as part of a corruption investigation that’s probing whether a planning consultant offered to pay city councillors in exchange for helping a rezoning application get passed, court documents show.

Federal Mounties publicly disclosed the investigation involving Ms. Gondek and David White – principal of CivicWorks, a company that helps developers navigate city hall – in a June 2 application to the Alberta Court of Justice that requests the extension of a warrant allowing investigators to keep the former mayor’s iPhone in police detention.

Major news broke today regarding one of the outright horrors of the previous administration: the trafficking of children brought into the United States as unaccompanied minors. But you didn’t hear about it on any of the evening newscasts at ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS.

An early-morning police raid that left a Toronto police officer dead, and that targeted suspects linked to a shooting at the U.S. consulate in the city, is connected to a wider probe into a network of shooters-for-hire.

A source with knowledge of this investigation said this network is also responsible for shooting at buildings that belong to Canadian waste giant GFL Environmental, as well as private residences and tow-truck companies.

This means they won’t have to embarrass their Islamist pals by calling it terrorism.

Just like they covered up the Danforth shooter claiming it wasn’t a Muslim terror attack and we should not believe our lying eyes.

A Toronto Police officer has been shot and is clinging to life after being taken to hospital in an emergency run.

A man is also believed to have been shot by Toronto Police and is also in hospital.

Black Creek and Trethewey is a very vibrant part of town.

Update: The Officer has died.

On Sunday, at least five people were hospitalized after a seriously mentally ill suspect with a criminal record reportedly went on a “frenzied” slashing spree at Penn Station. The incident comes exactly one month after another mentally ill repeat offender was arrested for allegedly pushing an elderly man down the subway steps, killing him, mere hours after being released from a hospital psych evaluation.

This latest tragedy won’t be the last. Violence linked to untreated serious mental illness has become increasingly normalized in New York. That acceptance is letting city leaders escape accountability for their failure to address the situation.

Jury members gasped in horror after being shown never-before-seen photos of Austin Metcalf’s heart as Karmelo Anthony’s trial continued.

Metcalf, 17, was stabbed once in the chest. The knife pierced through his bone in the center of his chest and punctured the right side of his heart, a medical examiner testified on Saturday.

Jurors were shown a photo of the ‘gapping’ two-inch stab wound that ‘completely went through the heart wall.’

A Toronto police officer has been charged with sexual assault, child luring, and other offences involving a girl under the age of 16 following an investigation by Ontario’s police watchdog.

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the investigation stemmed from allegations involving a female youth. The offences are alleged to have occurred in Toronto between September and December 2025, according to a news release.

A new sordid case has shocked the French public: the disappearance and death of 11-year-old Lyhanna in the Gers, involving a man identified as dangerous who had previously preyed on young girls. The case highlights a series of administrative, police, and judicial failures that reveal the state’s inability to protect children from predators who have already been identified.

On 29 May 2026, Lyhanna went missing in Fleurance, in the Gers. Very quickly, the investigation focused on Jérôme Barella, the father of a friend of the victim, who claimed to have come across the girl, driven her, and dropped her off near the village swimming pool. Investigators noted several inconsistencies in his statements and examined various pieces of evidence, notably CCTV footage.
