When Edith Perales was younger, he enlisted in the National Bolivarian Militia, a civilian force created by the late President Hugo Chávez in 2009 to help defend Venezuela.
“We have to be a country capable of defending every last inch of our territory so no one comes to mess with us,” Chávez said at the time.
Sixteen years on, Perales, who is now 68, is joining thousands of other militia members getting ready for a potential US attack.
A Windsor, Ont., man is facing multiple firearms charges after police found 48 weapons and roughly 17,000 rounds of ammunition during a raid earlier this year.
The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) said Monday that in May and June, its agents in Windsor, Toronto and Montreal intercepted four parcels containing firearms parts and tools for manufacturing firearms.

No perp description.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed Monday to a deal to end the war in Gaza that was proposed by President Donald Trump, amid a fresh push by the White House to halt two years of bitter war. The step toward peace still requires agreement by Hamas.
Trump called it “a beautiful day, potentially one of the great days ever in civilization,” speaking alongside Netanyahu following hours of meetings at the White House. The deal, which the White House published Monday, foresees hostilities ceasing immediately and hostages being released within 72 hours of both sides agreeing to the deal.
“Today is a historic day for peace,” the president said, even as he acknowledged that Hamas had not yet agreed to the deal.
That’s a BIG IF.
OTTAWA — In a major escalation of Canada’s response to transnational organized crime and geopolitically motivated diaspora violence, the federal government today designated the India-based Bishnoi gang, led by Lawrence Bishnoi, as a terrorist entity under Canada’s Criminal Code. The listing bars Canadians from financing or aiding the group and allows authorities to seize property and freeze accounts.

Canada lists the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity
Canada has listed India’s Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity, allowing the federal government to seize property and freeze money owned by the group in the country.
The federal public safety minister announced the move on Monday, saying the gang created a climate of fear and intimidation in Canadian diaspora communities.
Last year, Canadian police alleged that agents of the Indian government were using Bishnoi members to carry out “homicides, extortion and violent acts” and target supporters of the pro-Khalistan movement.

Director and former sitcom star Rob Reiner is all of a sudden claiming that Democrats should stop their daily smear campaign, calling President Donald Trump “Hitler” and his voters “fascists,” after he spent the last decade using that same extreme rhetoric himself.
When Doug Ford stood next to family members of Andrew Cristillo, the Ontario father who was killed in a head-on collision in August, the premier didn’t mince words.
“This wasn’t an accident, it was a murder,” said Ford, speaking to reporters on Sept. 5.
The accused, Jaiwin Victor Kirubananthan, is facing several charges, including dangerous driving causing death. He is not facing murder charges, and the charges against him have not yet been tested in court.
Earlier this month, a 50-year-old mother in Yolo County, California, decided to make a statement at a local school board meeting about the school system’s policy that allows junior high children to choose which locker room they use based on their gender identity. She wanted to show the board just how uncomfortable those little girls feel when a biological male steps into their most sacred space and strips down.

OTTAWA—Painting herself as a pragmatist with the electoral track record to revive the weakened NDP, Edmonton MP Heather McPherson launched her bid to lead the federal New Democrats on Sunday.
With former Alberta premier Rachel Notley standing by her side, McPherson made the case the NDP needs to focus on bread-and-butter issues to rebuild and grow the party’s tent amid Prime Minister Mark Carney’s rightward shift.
She’s Batshit Crazy and could probably beat up Avi Lewis. I say she’s gonna win.
The Michigan shooter who killed at least four churchgoers reportedly called Mormons ‘the anti-Christ’ just days before carrying out the attack.
Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, of Burton, rammed his pickup truck into the Grand Blanc Township church on Sunday morning before opening fire and setting it ablaze.
The former Marine was shot dead by police in the church’s parking lot.
PTSD, drug addiction the whole toxic cocktail.
In an interview with the Post’s Terry Newman, Burns explains that the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist movement, seeks to impose a strict interpretation of Islamic law and has used Hamas as its armed wing to counter the secular Palestine Liberation Organization and oppose Israel’s existence.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would impose a 100 per cent tariff on all foreign-made movies, an unprecedented move that threatens to upend Hollywood’s global business model.
The step signals Trump’s willingness to extend protectionist trade policies into cultural industries, raising uncertainty for studios that depend heavily on international box-office revenue and cross-border co-productions.
Big problem for California, many US districts offer film industry incentives and tax far less than Newsom’s corrupt little kingdom.
Not long ago, Casey McLaughlin was executive director of the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, but earlier this month she found herself lining up with hundreds of others at a job fair in Ottawa, vying for a coveted position at a new Food Basics grocery store.
“I’m willing to go from being a boss to shelving vegetables because you have to pay the bills,” she said. “It’s really hard to find a job in Ottawa right now.”
Nafisa Ijie also attended the job fair at a hotel in Barrhaven, despite having a master’s degree and experience working as a business analyst in Nigeria and England.

After more than three decades, police have identified a dead suspect in an infamous 1991 murder case in which four girls were slain at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas.
Austin police revealed Friday that Robert Eugene Brashers had been identified as a suspect in the murders through “a wide range of DNA testing”. Brashers, who had a lengthy criminal history, died by suicide in 1999 at age 40 during a standoff with police in Missouri.
