Telegraph- Dozens of mentally ill offenders go on to kill after secret release
At least 30 dangerous mental health patients secretly freed from high security hospitals have gone on to kill in recent years, The Telegraph can disclose.
It’s actually worse than that.
…figures obtained by the Telegraph reveal that an astonishing 55 percent of those sent to secure hospitals are quietly freed within five years, almost 90 per cent within ten years and 99 percent within 20-years
Move along please.
Francisco- I don’t think this story would have gotten any traction if Musk hadn’t tweeted about it 40-50 times. Other people have been trying to draw attention to this problem for years already.
A nice rant here.
Mark Carney, “Muslim values are Canadian values”.
Catholic Weekly- A thousand forced marriages and conversions every year in Pakistan
“Young girls, often minors, are abducted and coerced into converting to Islam, followed by forced marriages with much older men. This practice is especially prevalent in Sindh and southern Punjab where religious minorities are concentrated.
“Once abducted, the girls are subjected to pressure, threats, and sometimes violence, forcing them to renounce their faith.
What a country.
National Post- There’s not actually anything to stop Canadian MPs working for foreign governments
After former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland got a job with the Ukrainian government while still serving as an MP, she was lambasted by the opposition for serving two masters.
But…
Canada doesn’t have any restrictions against foreign government actors serving in its parliament.
18 tweet rant – because it’s important:
China imports ~4% of their crude from Venezuela.
I suspect most have zero clue what China owns in Canada, and I’m astonished and angered by the naivety of my fellow countrymen.
I’m not putting my elbows up – we deserve what we’ll be getting.
Why?
Because we’ve been wilfully ignorant and complacency has consequences.

More evidence that Canada is not a serious country. Given that Crown Royal is distilled in Gimli, Ford’s decision effectively imposes economic sanctions on Manitoba.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says to “stock up” on Crown Royal, confirming he plans to strip the Canadian whisky from the shelves of the LCBO in retaliation for a planned plant closure.
It said bottling at the factory intended for the U.S. market will be shifting stateside, while bottling for Canadian consumers will relocate to its Valleyfield, Que., location.
Saskatchewan saw zero wind power for 17 hours over two days.
Hilariously, a Saskatchewan doctor commented on Facebook re this story, “Are you able to share the data for a day where we had good wind production too, for comparison sake?”
I responded, “Doctor, when you look at a patient, do you say, “Let’s look at a day when he’s breathing, because on this day for 12 hours he wasn’t breathing?”

I saw the following text across different parts of the Internet, apparently accredited to a displaced Venezuelan in America named Juan Pablo Sans.
Unless you are Venezuelan, you are missing almost everything that matters. I am Venezuelan. I left my country in 2013, when Hugo Chávez died and Nicolás Maduro took power. I didn’t leave because I wanted to “try life abroad.” I left because I could see what was coming, and staying meant watching my future shrink year after year. So when Americans ask, “What do Venezuelans think about Trump forcing Maduro out of the presidency?” Let me answer that question honestly, without slogans, without moral theater, and without pretending this is simple. Most Venezuelans feel relief. Not because we love Trump or because we believe the U.S. does things out of pure love for freedom. And not because we are naïve about geopolitics, oil, or power. We feel relief because we have lived through something Americans have never experienced: a country where nothing works, where elections don’t matter, where money stops being money, and where time itself feels broken.
Now, before someone jumps in to say “but not all Venezuelans agree,” let’s be precise. Yes, there is a minority that doesn’t agree. And that minority usually falls into one of three groups.
We can’t be considered a serious country when the airline regulator stipulates the exact number of weekly flights a foreign carrier can offer out of Canada. And people still wonder why Canadian air fares are punishingly expensive.
Ottawa is loosening restrictions on the number of flights coming from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates after past diplomatic spats had limited flights.
Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon announced the government is expanding air transport agreements to allow as many as 14 passenger flights per week from Saudi Arabia — up from four. The latest deal also includes as many as 35 passenger flights a week from the U.A.E., up from a maximum of 21. Plus unlimited cargo flights from both countries.
Any predictions as to where this is all headed? The top guy got switched out, but other than that the same gang appears to still be in control.
While Machado is a “nice woman,” she lacks support and respect inside Venezuela, Trump said Saturday in a news conference to discuss the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by US forces. “I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader,” he said. Instead, he said the US plans to work with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro’s second-in-command.

This is a HUGE problem for Canada, as every barrel of oil Venezuela adds would most likely displace a barrel Canada produces. How do I know? Because Canadian oil replaced Venezuelan production over the last two decades.

In recent years, Andrew Coyne posted this and this and this, exasperated that Canada wasn’t doing anything to help Venezuela.
But now that Donald Trump has actually done something to help the people of Venezuela, he is OUTRAGED. I started counting the number of retweets by Coyne since the U.S. military action a few days ago and got up to 50, but it’s a much greater number than that. Serious question: Has TDS so deeply effected his brain that he is incapable of realizing what an incredible hypocrite he is?!?
