St. Paul City Attorney Who Refused to Prosecute Church Protesters Sued Pastor They Targeted

Irene Kao, the St. Paul city attorney who refused to prosecute protesters who disrupted a church service to target a pastor for working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to disclose that she was suing the pastor for the same reason.

On January 18 of this year, anti-ICE protesters barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, disrupting services with anti-ICE chants. A group of 30-40 agitators “intimidated, harassed, oppressed, and terrorized the parishioners,” according to an affidavit for criminal complaint by the U.S. Justice Department.

Sadistic Sikh killers of elderly B.C. couple file Constitutional challenge

Three men convicted of killing Abbotsford seniors Arnold and Joanne Dejong have now all filed Constitutional challenges, seeking consideration for early parole under the so-called faint-hope clause.

Khushveer Toor, Abhijeet Singh and Gurkaran Singh were all found guilty last month on two counts of first-degree murder.

The conviction carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. But the trio is now asking that they be eligible for consideration of early parole.

Most crime guns traced by RCMP came from within Canada, internal reports say

OTTAWA – The vast majority of crime guns traced by the RCMP to identifiable sources in 2023 and 2024 came from within Canada and were not smuggled from abroad, say internal reports prepared by the national police force.

The analyses found almost all of the long guns traced — and a substantial number of the handguns — were domestically sourced.

Importing ‘Alien Cultures’ and ‘Losing’ Eyes

Importing ‘Alien Cultures’ and ‘Losing’ Eyes

Haven’t watched the downward societal spiral in Britain for a while now, I’m not quite prepared to say they are on the cusp of an…well…’awakening,’ per se.

But there does seem to be a different feel in the air. A different undertone to much of the same rhetoric that’s been spoken and written after one of these horrific atrocities is committed. British people might express some frustration or even anger publicly, British politicians invariably get their prickly backsides up, issuing ‘Now, now’ lectures and blaming the aggrieved citizens for objecting to the blood in their streets.

Bryan Brulotte: China’s economic and demographic crunch has massive implications for Canada

Bryan Brulotte: China’s economic and demographic crunch has massive implications for Canada

Much has been written about China’s rise. Far less attention has been paid to a more important question: whether China’s economic model can sustain it.

For more than three decades, China achieved one of the most remarkable economic expansions in modern history, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and transforming itself into the manufacturing centre of the world. Yet beneath that success lies a growing structural weakness that Canadian policymakers should watch closely: debt.

Legal Activist Calls Austin Metcalf’s Grieving Family ‘White Supremacists’ and ‘Pigs’

Justice was served when Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder. Yet, the radical left is treating him as the innocent victim, a martyr, and is attacking his victim’s family as the enemy. The racial grievance machine is running at full speed, and it’s absolutely horrific.

Vance says Israeli PM Netanyahu ‘has got some things wrong’

Vance says Israeli PM Netanyahu ‘has got some things wrong’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “certainly gotten some things wrong”, US Vice-President JD Vance has said, as ties between the two partners in the war against Iran appear to have become strained in recent weeks.

While Vance would not provide examples, he told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, that Netanyahu “aggressively asserts the interests of his country” but that they were not always aligned with those of the US.

His comments mark a further public admission that relations between the two allies have come under pressure of late.

Toronto group calls to release alleged Iran proxy who coordinated waves of attacks on Jewish sites

A Toronto activist group called for the US to release the Iranian regime proxy group commander who allegedly helped orchestrate attacks on Jewish, Israeli, and dissident sites and individuals across Europe and North America in the name of Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), in a Thursday statement.

Al-Ahrar Palestinian Prisoner Support called for the immediate release of Kataib Hezbollah commander Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, who had been extradited and charged by the US Department of Justice on May 15 for various terrorism offenses related to 18 attacks.

The Canada-based organization called on activists and organizations to act against the “violent move” by the US, rejecting his criminalization and describing his attacks as legitimate wartime actions.

‘Demonized, called hysterical’: the rise of witchcraft retreats where US women go to defy man and church

On the floor of a sun-drenched room in a 200-year-old Irish estate, a group of 15 witches gather to commune with the spirits. Everyone has someone they want to talk to – dead ancestors, forest fairies, the witches who came before them – and the room has the same expectant charge as the first day of school. Some of the witches wear long black capes and bandannas. Some wear Columbia fleeces, spaghetti-strap tank tops and Adidas sneakers.

Cuba: Amid blockade, Pentagon chief issues military warning

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a warning to Cuba during a visit to the US military base at Guantanamo Bay on Wednesday.

“It would be unwise of the government of Cuba ​to try to procure or get access to the types of ⁠weapons ​that could reach this ​base or the American homeland,” Hegseth said, ​without offering details on such weaponry.

“They would be inviting the kind of confrontation ​not only ⁠do they not want but they could ⁠not stand,” he said, claiming that “no ​country on Earth can match the capabilities of the United States of America.”

Honda just issued a warning about its future in Canada. That could inadvertently hand a win to Chinese EV makers

One of Ontario’s biggest and most reliable automakers is warning Canadians not to take its presence here for granted.

“Companies don’t automatically keep building vehicles in the same country just because it’s always been that way,” Honda Canada president Dave Jamieson told an industry summit convened by the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association in Vaughan this week.

It wasn’t a throwaway line. Jamieson spent almost his entire speech — one of his first since taking the job last year — making the case that Canada is at a policy crossroads that could determine whether his company keeps investing in its manufacturing base in Alliston, Ont.
