A Calgary man sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, terrorized her with threats, and left scars that will last a lifetime. The Crown sought 10 years behind bars. The judge agreed the sentence was fitting. But then came the caveat: “But for his Gladue factors, I would have imposed the sentence sought by the Crown.” And just like that, two years were knocked off.
Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson appeared in court on Monday but hid his face during the hearing.
Robinson, 22, and his newly appointed legal counsel asked to have his waiver hearing postponed and did not enter a plea.
Utah’s court system gives people accused of crimes an option to waive their legal right to a preliminary hearing and instead schedule an arraignment where they can enter a plea.
It’s finally happening—after decades of successive governments threatening Brits with a mandatory ID scheme, the UK is set to at last impose the ‘BritCard.’ Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer is planning to reheat the Blair-era plan to make national identification compulsory in the UK. The government intends to complete the rollout of these cards by the end of 2029—before the next, presumably non-Labour, government can stop it.
The idea is that anyone with the right to work in the UK will be issued one of these digital ID cards, stored on your smartphone. This would contain a passport-style photo, as well as information like your full name, nationality, date of birth, and residency status. They would be issued not just to Brits but also to those born abroad, so long as they have permission to work in the UK.
With half a year having passed under Carney’s leadership, the Liberal government appears as directionless and inept as it ever was under Trudeau’s guidance. Liberal strategists successfully convinced Canadians that the trade war with the United States was such an urgent issue, it could only be managed under the brilliant guidance of the economic wizard, Mark Carney. Voters in Eastern Canada forgot about the decade of ineptitude under the Trudeau regime and kept the Liberals in power.
To say Carney has underperformed is an understatement.

‘They just don’t come’: What’s making L.A.’s tourism tumble
Months of negative news have triggered a tough summer for tourism in Los Angeles, deepening the economic woes for a city buffeted by natural disasters and immigration raids.
Tourist arrivals fell by close to 10% this season, according to the latest numbers from Visit California.
… Of all the state’s international travelers, the most significant absence was from Canadian tourists. Arrivals from visitors from up north fell 32% in the three months of Summer.
You’ll note that Trump policies are to blame for everything, except the fires but I’m sure they’re working on that.
No mention that LA is a hopelessly mismanaged crime ridden gangsters paradise with a huge homeless problem and its signature industry is fleeing the city and state.
We’ve come a long way since “Brat Summer,” folks.
Democrats have quietly grumbled about Kamala Harris since she dropped out of the presidential contest in 2019, but put on a brave face when speaking in public about her. No longer. Kamala Harris has, officially, become persona non grata in the Democratic Party.

Olivia Chow warns Toronto faces tax increase — or people on the streets — due to shelter funding cuts
The city of Toronto is now facing cuts to its shelter funding from the province, threatening another one of the municipality’s key funding sources to house homeless people.
According to a letter from Mayor Olivia Chow published Friday, the province recently informed the municipality it is reducing allocated funding for next year to almost $8 million, compared to $19.75 million the city received this year and $38 million it got in 2024.
No homeless means no money to funnel to her commie pals for pet projects employing fellow toxic commies.
How many of the Liberal party’s “asylum seekers” use shelters in TO – nearly 30% of the total.
It’s extortion.

It’s Monday morning in Canada, and the swamp is alive and well. After seven years of stonewalling, weak investigations, and political cover for one of the most explosive scandals in recent history, the Trudeau machine just got what looks like its final shield. Ontario Crown prosecutors quietly stepped in to shut down Democracy Watch’s private prosecution against Justin Trudeau over the SNC-Lavalin affair—yes, the same SNC that got caught bribing Libyan officials and then rebranded itself “AtkinsRéalis” as if a name change erases corruption.

A new report by the Lancet published August 3 reiterates what media repeats daily: plastics are causing diseases, dementia and death. But the article makes it obvious that it is not the manufacturing or use of plastics; it is the recycling. Their solution is more Green spending, not less. No reversal. Burying plastics is safe and easy but never discussed because it would save money. Big Green interests have made trillions of dollars browning the earth and they refuse to stop. When did worldwide panic and spending dramatically accelerate? Buried within these top 100 facts about the green energy carnage is a hidden and here-to-fore uncovered, egregious fraud.

The country’s censorship regime is targeting ordinary Britons.
“Free speech is at the lowest ebb it has been in Britain since the eighteenth century,” the U.K. Free Speech Union’s founder and president Toby Young, recently ennobled, told me over lunch at the House of Lords last week. The Peers’ Dining Room was sedate—the average age in the upper house of Britain’s parliament is 70—but beyond the Palace of Westminster’s well-guarded gates, the United Kingdom is in crisis, especially in the realm of free expression. Since Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party returned to power last year, Young’s organization—which offers advocacy and representation for people facing consequences for their speech—has seen membership skyrocket. It’s risen from 14,000 in July 2024 to 35,000 now, he says, alongside a record number of requests for help.
The ruling class must fear rebellion and retribution for their traitorous crimes.

When Hamas leaders send you successive thank-you notes, you are not on the right side of history.
The gratitude of an Islamist death cult, committed in its founding charter to “annihilate” Israel, along with all Jews and infidels, should not be a source of pride for anyone, let alone the prime minister of Canada. But Mark Carney seems unperturbed.
As all eyes are fixed on the Hamas-Israel war in the Gaza Strip, the Iranian regime and its Palestinian terror proxies are working to move the fighting to the West Bank.
Recently, armed cells belonging to Iranian-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have escalated their terrorist attacks in the West Bank against Israeli soldiers and civilians. The Palestinian groups responsible for the death and destruction in the Gaza Strip over the past two years are even trying to fire rockets from the West Bank into the rest of Israel. The groups and their patrons in Tehran do not care if Palestinians in the West Bank are killed and displaced as a result of their terrorism. Iran’s mullahs and their Palestinian proxies have only one thing in mind: murdering Jews and eliminating Israel.
OTTAWA — At just 32, Eddie has a six-figure salary from a major financial institution, stocks, and no debt, including his rental property that nets him more than $5,000 a month. He lives frugally and invests as much as he can.
Eddie wants to buy a house in Ottawa, as close as possible to his downtown job, and is willing to spend up to about $900,000.
His wish list seems pretty basic: a decent neighbourhood, a back yard, and at least three bedrooms to accommodate what he hopes will one day be a growing family.
