How it started…

Reed told both Harrelson and The Post that his house was facing foreclosure and he is about to lose his business because the area around where Floyd died became a lawless, crime-ridden, no-go zone for three years after his death — and customers stayed away. Nor did he see a dime, he said, of the $125 million approved to help citizens like him in Minneapolis.
“It’s unbelievable what happened here,” Reed said, sometimes through tears. “All those activists who claimed to be activists were only trying to gain fame off George Floyd’s name. People were coming into town and making money by selling shirts and hats and having these fake protests while those of us from here suffered like collateral damage. It made me so sick.”
It feels like just yesterday that the left was braying about alleged members of the Venezuelan transnational gang Tren de Aragua being sent to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prisons as part of their deportation. That’s because, more or less, it was yesterday.
However, over the next few weeks, we might see the same leftists braying a different tune — this time involving the fact that they aren’t being deported via CECOT but might be spending the next few decades in federal prison.
Legalize the self defense of property and person, and the problem goes away.
Sun- Guns, masks, break-ins: Public safety should be on the ballot
They came with guns and masks. That’s what RCMP are telling us about the criminals who targeted multiple rural properties in Manitoba early Sunday morning. They broke into garages and outbuildings. They stole ATVs, power tools, even a truck. Witnesses believe they were armed. A 17-year-old girl was arrested hours later, alone in a vehicle. The rest are still out there.

Sam Cooper- Canadian Judge Reverses Release of Cartel Sicario Seeking Refugee Status After Trump Terror Designation
Paul Sutton- POLICE ARREST PARENTS FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT A SCHOOL
Six officers sent to make the arrests, then parents held in the cells for eight hours. This in a force which cannot deal with routine shoplifting, so forget burglaries. I don’t want to sound pessimistic but these five points have to be made:
Spectator- Why are police targeting parents who complained in a school WhatsApp group?
Hmm… let me think.
Global- More Loblaw employees to wear body cameras across Canada, company says
“Early results from our pilot suggest body-worn cameras may help reduce violent incidents, but a broader, longer-term evaluation across more stores and banners is needed to assess their full impact,” they told Global News in a statement.
“Only trained asset protection representatives, third-party security, store management and additional team members where applicable will be wearing the cameras, and participation in this pilot is voluntary. Colleagues are also trained to verbally inform those around them when turning on the body-worn camera,” they said.
CTV- Officer slashed with ‘edged weapon’ in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, police say
“This was completely unexpected,” Visintin told reporters Wednesday. “It happened suddenly and randomly.”
Police managed to track down a suspect “minutes later” near East Cordova and Main streets, Visintin said.
Solaris Onatta Running Dey, 29, has since been charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and assaulting a police officer with a weapon.
Oh?
Court records show a man by that name was convicted of manslaughter for the 2018 killing of 19-year-old Aspen Pallot. Authorities said the two had been in a relationship prior to her death.
In 2021, Dey was sentenced to six years in prison – which came down to two with credit for time served – plus three years’ probation.

Winnipeg Sun- Family hunts down stolen car after being told no cops available for dispatch
In the last week I’ve seen videos of fisticuffs on a bus, a machete-wielding goon wandering into the street at night approaching oncoming cars, and even an attempted firebombing that backfired and resulted in the Molotov-tosser being ignited when the bomb was tossed back.
These are all scenes that go un-seen on your evening news channels.

Earlier this week, a new report from insurance industry group Équité Association found that a vehicle is now stolen every five minutes in Canada, a record high.

Stephen Punwasi- public safety minister just said less than 1% of 🇺🇸’s fentanyl is from 🇨🇦, and ditto for illegal immigrants. Here’s why that’s a whopper of a lie. Warning: Your opinion of 🇨🇦 will irreversibly change.
The Bureau- Exclusive: Briefings to Liberal Government on Chinese Infiltration of Vancouver Port and Canada’s Opioid Scourge Ignored
If you look at the two super labs that were taken down in British Columbia—I think there’s three now—the amount they were capable of producing was more than the whole Vancouver population could have used in 10 years. So we know that Vancouver has become a transshipment point to North America for opiates and cocaine and other drugs because it’s a weak link, and enforcement is not capable of keeping up with transnational organized crime.”
