KLEIN: Canadian politicians silent about Canada’s cartel crisis

Canada has a drug problem that our leaders refuse to face. This isn’t just about overdoses or addiction — though that alone is tragedy enough. It’s about cartels and organized crime groups using Canada as their safe base, running drugs into the United States and around the world while our government turns a blind eye. Everyone in Ottawa knows what’s going on. They read the same intelligence reports, they see the same RCMP briefings, and they know thousands of Canadians are dying every year. But what do we get in response? Committees, titles, press conferences — and no real action.

Carney announces details of new bail reform bill coming next week

Next week, the Canadian government will bring forward a new bail reform bill aimed at cracking down on violent and repeat offenders, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Thursday.

The new legislation will target those accused of serious crimes such as violent auto thefts, breaking and entering, human trafficking, as well as sexual and violent assaults, in an effort to keep those accused of such acts, out of Canadian communities.

“Right now, in most bail hearings, the starting point is to release, and the Crown must prove why someone should not be released on bail, making it too easy for repeated violent offenders to quickly get back on the street, sometimes back into the same communities that they just committed crimes in,” Carney said. “Our new law will flip that script.”

He Shot the Man Who Raped His Teenage Daughter – Now He’s Facing a Murder Charge

Aaron and Heather Spencer’s nightmare began in the Spring of 2024 in Lonoke County, Arkansas, when they learned that a 67-year-old man had been sexually abusing their 13-year-old daughter.

At the time, the child had “spent more days than not helping care for her dying grandpa,” according to a Facebook post Heather wrote. The parents had decided to give her some free time. She was targeted by a man “old enough to be my father” who began grooming the daughter through text messages.

Toronto Police Association pushes tougher sentences for young offenders

The head of Canada’s largest municipal police union is pushing the federal government for tough-on-crime measures, including stiffer sentences for young offenders, after a series of violent crimes allegedly involving youth suspects.

Toronto Police Association (TPA) president Clayton Campbell, whose union represents nearly 6,000 officers, says recent homicides illustrate the need to overhaul the legislation that governs how the criminal-justice system treats youth who commit violent crimes.

Quebec Government to Consider Banning Face Coverings in Public

Some members of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) are pushing for a ban on face coverings in public places, but the province has not confirmed whether it will act on the proposal.

The party originally planned to consider a ban on masked protesters at its weekend convention in Gatineau, but an amendment calling for a complete ban on face coverings in public received support from more than half of party members, including from Secularism and French-language Minister Jean-François Roberge.

Dangerous offender Michelle K. is a cautionary tale for those who believe everybody can be fixed

“I can’t kill myself. I have too many people I want to hurt.”

This is the story of an incorrigible child who became an irredeemable adult and a designated dangerous offender.

It’s also a cautionary tale and refutation for those who believe everybody can be fixed, no matter how villainous, how recidivist and how sociopathic. If only, you know, there had been timely intervention in their formative years, proper guidance, mental health supports and a societal safety net to catch the bad seeds before they take permanent root.

Another 12-year-old boy is charged with murder. What has become of us in Toronto?

The 12-year-old boy is described as a youth. But a 12-year-old is still a child.

Typically, if attending school, in Grade 7.

But this 12-year-old is charged with second-degree murder and five violent robberies. And we don’t really know how to profile them, apart from the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which deems that anyone aged 12 or older can be charged with a criminal offence.


That child is the weaponized product of the Liberal-left’s war on western civilization.

Lawlessness Has a Limit—And the West Is Reaching It

America is on fire now over a shocking murder on a tram in Charlotte, North Carolina. A young Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, took a seat on the tram in front of a large, hooded black man, Decarlos Brown. After a few moments, Brown took a knife from his pocket, leapt up, and slashed helpless Zarutska in the neck. Brown, a schizophrenic with 14 criminal convictions on his record, staggered off muttering, “I got the white girl.”

Zarutska bled to death on the floor of the train, in full view of others, who did nothing to help her. At last someone—a black man, note well—ran to her aid and tried to stanch the bleeding, but it was too late. She was pronounced dead by emergency personnel when they arrived.

These Are Your Damned ‘Root Causes,’ Vi Lyles

 

Let’s have some honesty about the true problem — not leftist boilerplate that champions murderers.

In June 2023, Syrian refugee Abdalmasih H. stormed into a playground in Annecy, in the French Alps, at 9 a.m. and began stabbing as many babies as he could in their strollers. Of the six seriously injured, four were children between 22 months and 3 years old. Images of the horror spread around the world. A Spanish journalist, host of one of the country’s most-watched morning shows, commented live on the attack: “This is causing a stir, and in a country like France, these are votes for Le Pen, for the far right. It’s tremendous.”

How the Media Influence Americans’ Support for Police

A new study finds that headlines can turn the public against legitimate uses of force.

Public opinion on police use of force is shifting. Over the past several decades, Americans have increasingly disapproved of officers’ actions, even when those actions are lawful and follow established professional protocols. According to my recent research, the cause isn’t just politics or changing demographics. One major influence is how the news media frames incidents of force.

Bournemouth police are losing control

Who is Ritchie Wellman? He is a father, a boyfriend, an assistant operations manager at a local business and a part-time paedophile hunter. Right now, however, at 7 p.m. in a dusty car park down the road from Bournemouth pier, Ritchie is the commander of his own private policing unit, briefing his officers before their first patrol. He tells them not to assault anybody, not to be provoked, not to drink or smoke on the job, and to reassure the public if they are concerned by this new authority on their streets: ‘This is not a takeover.’

Ritchie is a normal guy, and he and his officers and others in Bournemouth like them believe that their town is falling apart and that the state is not coming to save it. They say rapes, stabbings, violent disorder and anti-social behaviour are turning their home into somewhere that they do not recognise. The police tried to make it safer but failed. Now it’s the people’s turn.
