A mother has been instructed to remove “body bags” hanging from a tree after neighbours said the Hallowe’en display was “triggering”.
Caroline Ashley was surprised when a Liverpool City council worker allegedly attended her home on Sept 24 and demanded the removal of decorations in front of her house.
The 41-year-old said the council visit followed a “really upset” neighbour confronting her at home over the “triggering” display.
OTTAWA — Federal Liberals and New Democrats blasted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre Wednesday, saying his statement that Israel should proactively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities is disastrous foreign policy that would contravene international law and quash hope for peace in the Middle East.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters Wednesday that Poilievre’s proposed pre-emptive strikes would trigger a broader war, and suggested he does not want harmony in the Mideast.

Kamala Harris had an obvious hot microphone moment during a briefing on Hurricane Milton.
Donald Trump’s campaign and critics on X are accusing the vice president of being fed what to say during the briefing on Wednesday.
While National Weather Service Director Ken Graham was providing information on the storm, Harris could be seen covering her mouth awkwardly and heard saying: ‘It’s a live broadcast.’
BUSTED!!
Kamala is heard telling an aide who is feeding her questions, that it’s a “live broadcast. She then asks the question she was presumably given.

if a Jewish business was attacked like this, every politician in the country would be issuing statements condemning it. Samira has consistently highlighted the presence of the JDL-affiliated gangs at pro-Israel demonstrations. Are the police looking at them? https://t.co/dQZDp5f6rN

Kelowna man pleads guilty to multiple thefts, break ins
A Kelowna man with a criminal record spanning two provinces and two decades pleaded guilty on Monday to a new set of offences.
Saeed Abbas – Sad Muslim
Saeed Abbas, 44, admitted to a four part crime spree, including break ins, the theft of two Dodge trucks, a couple SUVs and even a possession of weapons charge. The criminal acts took place between September 2022 and January 2023, the latter date being when he started his incarceration.
… In making her case, Miller told the court that Abbas has a criminal record that started in 1999 when he was a youth offender in Calgary and since then, has amassed 25 convictions for offences including arson, theft, fraud, robbery, and vehicle thefts. He also has 22 breach charges.
… Miller also pointed out that the pre-sentence report that highlighted the trauma, racism, and poverty Abbas suffered since his parents came to Canada as refugees from Palestine is important to weigh into the equation.
Protesters have tried to paste a photograph of a Gazan mother and child over a Picasso painting at the National Gallery in central London to demand a two-way arms embargo on Israel.
Two supporters of Youth Demand entered room 43 at the gallery just before midday.

Three years after a devastating wildfire nearly wiped out the picturesque B.C. hamlet of Lytton, residents say it may never be reborn because of costly, government-mandated archeological excavations.
Village Mayor Denise O’Connor — whose own house was destroyed in the June 2021 wildfire — said homeowners are getting individual quotes for archeological work that range from $26,000 to $48,000 to much higher, making the work prohibitive.
