WTF?
18-year-old Sheldon Tracy-Stewart accused of firing gun at U.S. consulate in Toronto arrested
…Const. Marc Pinizzotto was fatally shot at a fourth-floor apartment building on Martha Eaton Way on Thursday, as officers carried out an investigation into multiple shootings, including one at the consulate in March.
Police said 19-year-old Nicholas Bennett, who was shot multiple times in the exchange of gunfire and remains in hospital, faces a first-degree murder charge. A court document shows he has also been charged with firearm-related offences in relation to alleged incidents in March.
Police also arrested and charged another suspect in the consulate shooting on Thursday, a court document shows. Sheldon Tracy-Stewart, 18, is accused of firing a gun at the consulate and committing a violent attack on the official premises of an internationally protected person that was likely to endanger that person’s life or liberty, the document shows.
US warned French authorities multiple times about main suspect in Lyhanna murder, exposing major justice system failure
French authorities face mounting embarrassment and public fury after it emerged that US child protection organisations repeatedly warned them about the main suspect in the brutal murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna, whose body was found on June 4 in a disused grain silo near Fleurance in south-west France.
The suspect, 41-year-old Jérôme Barella, a father of one of Lyhanna’s classmates, had been the subject of several prior complaints for sexual violence against minors.
Gatineau muslim told she can’t wear hijab at after-school event: parent committee
A Gatineau school board committee says it’s worried parents will be discouraged from volunteering after a local mother was reportedly told by her child’s elementary school that, due to one of the province’s secularism laws, she would have to remove her hijab if she wants to take part in an after-school event this fall.
“We already have a lot of trouble recruiting in general, so it’s a shame,” said Simon Lajoie, president of the parent committee of the board in question, the Centre de services scolaire des Portages-de-l’Outaouais (CSSPO).
No cult accommodations. Move to Afghanistan, you’ll feel at home.
Deal to end fighting would lead to Hormuz reopening, Iran says
A deal with the US to end fighting in Iran is close and includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Foreign Minister has said.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi told state TV the deal also includes the lifting of a US blockade of Iran, but that talks on Iran’s nuclear programme would begin later.
US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.
McCRAE: Globe and Mail admits its Kamloops ‘mass grave’ failure — now other mainstream media must follow
In its May 30 mea culpa, the Globe and Mail’s editorial board came clean and confessed that the newspaper’s reporting of the May 27, 2021, Kamloops graves “discovery” announcement was journalism at its worst.
The newspaper — finally, after five years — admitted it did no homework, asked no questions, and acted merely as a stenographer for the Kamloops Indian band, which, on that “day that lives in infamy,” announced it had discovered the bodies of 215 indigenous children indecently interred in the apple orchard near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

WTF?
The previous headline on this article did not meet The Globe’s editorial standard. It has been replaced.

Indigenous woman’s background, trauma justify house arrest for DUI crash that killed her best friend: judge
An Indigenous woman from Winnipeg who killed her best friend and roommate in a drunk driving accident three years ago will be allowed to serve her sentence at home, largely because of her racial background and “life circumstances … shaped by a history of trauma and discrimination,” a judge ruled last month.
Jayden Starr Okemow, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of driving with a blood alcohol level exceeding .08 causing the death of Hayley Linklater, but only after the Crown called the majority of its witnesses.
When private equity came for trailer parks
I’ve never been called “trailer trash”, but I did live in a trailer in Northeast Georgia in my early teens. Trailers don’t have the best reputation, but I liked it better than the home I grew up in. It was well-insulated, with a shotgun floor plan, so my room was far from my mother’s and her boyfriend’s, giving me more privacy than when we’d shared a wall (Iggy Pop, who lived with his parents in a trailer in Ypsilanti, Michigan, felt differently, and tells how he used to draw pictures of fantastical, u-shaped trailers where a boy would have space to hide). There was a hill I could skate down, woods to walk through, and because we were parked over gravel rather than dirt, we didn’t have as many problems with bugs. I had lived in a typical postwar suburb where neighbors were suspicious of each other and maintained a degree of distance. The trailer park, by contrast, was cozy; people knew each other and waved hello. I remember having long talks with a man there who owned four beautifully restored Ford Mustangs from the Sixties.
The Hollow Laurels Of Angela Merkel
On May 19, 2026, the European Parliament inducted Angela Merkel into the inaugural European Order of Merit as a “Distinguished Member.” In this capacity, she holds a status comparable to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former Polish President Lech Wałęsa. The award purportedly recognizes contributions to European integration and the defense of shared values. In a ceremony marked by protests from the Patriots for Europe alliance, who decried the event as an exercise in elite self-congratulation (complete with hired spectators to fill empty seats), Merkel was feted for a legacy that many Europeans now experience as a slow-motion catastrophe.
The #BeKind harridans who turned their backs on Henry Nowak
I RECENTLY witnessed the insulting behaviour of a gathering of cultural warriors and #BeKind advocates who, when asked to clap as a mark of respect for Henry Nowak, chose to turn their backs and remain silent.
Why? Because the gesture was instigated by those protesting about the Crowborough asylum-seekers’ camp. Never mind that the virtue signallers were holding placards promoting love and unity. All that flew out of the window to suit their warped agenda. Never mind two-tier policing. These people operate two-tier virtuosity as well.
CAIR Lashes Out in a Panic Against the Sharia-Free America Congressional Caucus
Texas Representatives Chip Roy and Keith Self officially launched the Sharia-Free America Caucus in the House of Representatives in December. It is a much-needed incentive to counter the insidious rise of Sharia in America. Chip Roy’s website explains:
Sharia is a dominating force that is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution…
The defenceless realm
At first glance, they look like two distinct scandals. Fire and violence on the streets of Belfast following the vicious gouging of a local man’s eyes by a suspect from Sudan. And then the resignation of virtually the entire defence wing of Keir Starmer’s cabinet, including the secretary of state for defence, John Healey. Yet both that riotous fury and the polite but scathing resignations flow from the same toxic source – the almost total withering of our kingdom’s ability to defend itself from external menace.
Sounds just like Canada.
