CityNews is facing criticism after viewers noticed what appear to be beauty filters on images of Tumbler Ridge transgender school shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar.

Ottawa commits to keeping Mounties on front lines, says fixing federal policing is priority
After months of uncertainty hanging over the RCMP, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says the government is committed to keeping Mounties in the business of day-to-day policing across the country — while signalling that improving the federal crimes wing is his priority.
“Bottom line is, we could do both,” said Anandasangaree in an interview on Tuesday about the future of the storied — but troubled — national police force. The interview was conducted before news broke of the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., where the RCMP are the lead investigators.
The ability of the RCMP to do both local and federal policing has been called into question in recent years.
Cartels Shift Border Crossings North, As U.S. Indictment Alleges Smuggling Ring Flew Mexican Migrants Into Canada, Guided Them Across Vermont
OTTAWA/WASHINGTON — U.S. federal prosecutors have unsealed an indictment alleging that a Dominican national and a U.S. citizen conspired to move foreign nationals from Mexico and Central and South America into the United States by flying them into Canada, staging them through Quebec, and then guiding them on foot and by vehicle across the Vermont border — a pattern investigators say reflects Mexican cartel-linked human-smuggling networks exploiting a “north border” pathway long viewed as secondary to the U.S.–Mexico frontier.
A New Study Challenges the Mental-Health Claims of “Gender-Affirming Care”
A new study challenges the popular claim that medical interventions improve trans-identifying people’s mental health. Rather, the study argues, nonmedical factors like social support and coping style are far more important determinants of these individuals’ mental-health outcomes.
For years, doctors and medical associations have argued that patients with gender-related distress, including children, suffer from depression and suicidality and need access to “gender-affirming care” to relieve it. They presented this view as the scientific consensus, and that view has shaped policy debates about how readily these interventions should be offered and under what—if any—safeguards.
LGBTQI+ activist says the Canadian trans mass shooter is “the first victim of this tragedy.”
“It was the day that they could not take it any longer.”

Trump is obsessed with Canada – and our rebuke of his advances is growing more dangerous
The President of the United States is low-key obsessed with Canada, and it’s getting, like, a little embarrassing.
Back in 2017, Mr. Trump called then-prime minister Justin Trudeau “a man who has become a friend of mine” and said the two leaders had “a very good relationship.” The sentiment didn’t last long, perhaps because the Canadian leader represented, at the time, a lot of what Mr. Trump was not: young, popular, competent. Or perhaps Mr. Trump was salty that he couldn’t replicate former president Barack Obama’s bromance with Mr. Trudeau. Whatever the cause, after leaving early from the G7 Summit in Quebec in June, 2018, Mr. Trump tweeted that Mr. Trudeau “acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings,” before calling him “very dishonest & weak.”
The Globe and Star have switched places.
Mr. Spencer Goes to Washington
For the first time, the U.S. government discusses Sharia.
“On Tuesday, February 10, I appeared before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government to testify about Sharia. I gave a five-minute statement and then took questions from various representatives. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Tex.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.), Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.), Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), and Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) asked incisive and illuminating questions.”
The Tranadian Betrayal
I know that I seem to crack on our neighbors to the north quite a bit sometimes, but I can’t help it. I’m only human, and they can be so self-righteous and incredibly pathetic at the same time that it’s impossible not to say something.
Which is where I am right now about the ghastly situation that unfolded in the remote northern British Columbia town of Tumbler Ridge.

Truth of the El Paso airport closure is far darker than Americans realize
It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Expect it a lot more.
Late Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration abruptly ordered El Paso International Airport to close for ten days.
El Paso is America’s 23rd largest city. And, in a country that treats canceled flights as human rights violations and where delayed or rerouted commercial and cargo flights can cost domestic businesses millions of dollars in direct and indirect losses, ten days sounds like an eternity.
What manner of foreign or domestic (or interstellar?) threat could cause such disruption?
Heritage department’s ‘notable Muslim Canadians’ list dominated by Liberal, NDP figures
A federal heritage department fact sheet highlighting “notable Muslim Canadians” leaned heavily toward Liberal and NDP politicians, including former cabinet minister Maryam Monsef, according to records obtained through Access to Information.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the document, titled Fact Sheet: Muslims In Canada, identified seven individuals deemed Muslims of note.

John Cleese is right about ‘Islamophobia’
As he demonstrated so spectacularly with Monty Python’s Life of Brian, John Cleese has never suffered from a fear of offending religious sensibilities. None the less, some people do tend to take offence rather more deeply than others. Which is why it’s brave of him to defend so stoutly the right to criticise Islam.
“Any criticism of Islam is labelled ‘Islamophobia’,” he recently lamented on social media. “A better word would be ‘Islamosceptic’. A difference of opinion is not a phobia.”
In a follow-up post on Tuesday, he wrote: “A phobia is irrational. There is nothing irrational about criticising aspects of Islam.”
Canadian separatists optimistic after meetings with Trump officials
Leaders of a right-wing group pushing a conservative Canadian province to secede and form a new nation say they have been meeting with Trump administration officials to discuss how their radical plan can benefit the U.S.
In three separate, highly unusual meetings with officials from the State and Treasury departments, they’ve discussed the logistics of Alberta breaking off from Canada, including switching over to U.S. currency and creating a new military.
Tommy Robinson in Paris: Crime Is No Joke
British nationalist activist Tommy Robinson travelled to Paris for a few days to meet with French right-wing politicians and activists, such as Éric Zemmour and Alice Cordier. On the streets of Paris, he witnessed first-hand the devastating impact of immigration on the city’s atmosphere and security and spoke publicly about it on social media—which did not go down well with the French Foreign Ministry on social media.
‘So many young lives were ended so needlessly’: What we know about the Tumbler Ridge school victims
