Toronto’s police chief recently described a pattern that should unsettle anyone who saw the recent shootings at synagogues, Jewish schools and the U.S. consulate as unrelated hate crimes. Police say a network of criminals-for-hire has been linked to 27 firearm discharges across the city – recruiting young adults online, paying them to fire on the exterior of a chosen building, and requiring a video of the act before any money is released.
Canada faces a serious crime problem, but many Canadians believe crime is relatively low compared with the United States. That perception largely stems from a misunderstanding of how crime is measured.
How much of that is crime tourism and diversity crime?
Around 5 a.m. on a Sunday morning in March, a gunman got out of a car on a quiet street near the waterfront in Oakville. Almost immediately, he opened fire.
An accomplice stood beside him, apparently filming the attack on a phone as the gunman shot at a stone house with a double-car garage, according to neighbours who later watched the incident unfold on their security footage.
Suddenly there was a flash from across the street. Someone was firing at the pair. They scattered.
Last August, Decarlos Brown Jr.—a mentally ill repeat offender out on bail—allegedly stabbed 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska to death on a Charlotte light rail train. Video of the shocking murder prompted widespread outrage, pushing the North Carolina legislature to pass a law named for Zarutska and meant to overhaul the state’s criminal justice and mental-health system.
The 14-year-old Pickering teen was obsessed with serial killers and told his gaming friend that unlike his heroes, he wouldn’t get caught.
Thankfully, he was wrong — but not before he took the life of an innocent stranger who was simply outside raking the leaves.
Given the perp is both Muslim and a minor he’ll get a ludicrous sentence reduced by time served.
Billionaire businessman Frank Stronach, who was accused of sexually assaulting several women decades ago, has been found guilty of sexual assault and indecent assault.
Stronach, who is 93, pleaded not guilty to 12 charges stemming from alleged incidents involving seven complainants.
Seeking “approval” from gangs, Awet Asfaha walked up to a total stranger on Mount Olive Drive in 2009 and pumped three shots into his back, the convicted murderer has testified in his bid to get early parole from a life sentence.
“To gain stripes,” Awet Asfaha told a jury at his “faint hope” hearing, explaining the shooting was like an initiation into gang membership. “To be taken more serious.”
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.
A gun-for-hire network is behind several shootings in the GTA over the past several months, including the shooting at the U.S. consulate earlier in March, Chief Myron Demkiw announced at a news conference Tuesday.
The investigation involves at least six shooting incidents in the GTA linked to a nine-millimetre handgun and at least 21 shooting incidents in the GTA tied to a 45-calibre handgun, Demkiw said. Police recovered both guns during an operation last week, Demkiw said Tuesday, adding that the firearms originated from the United States.
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.
French authorities face mounting embarrassment and public fury after it emerged that US child protection organisations repeatedly warned them about the main suspect in the brutal murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna, whose body was found on June 4 in a disused grain silo near Fleurance in south-west France.
The suspect, 41-year-old Jérôme Barella, a father of one of Lyhanna’s classmates, had been the subject of several prior complaints for sexual violence against minors.
Karmelo Anthony’s father, Andrew, told a blatant lie during his interview with CBS News. Anthony was convicted of murder this week and sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas, in 2025. The case drew national attention. Naturally, race intensified the case, as Austin was white and Anthony was black.

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.
