I'M SO OLD, I REMEMBER WHEN CANADA DAY DIDN'T INVOLVE CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT...

-- "Peel Regional Police are taking action after 13 people were arrested for shooting fireworks at bystanders during the Victoria Day long weekend, some of which were captured on video and posted on social media. As a result, Brampton residents are banned from using, selling, possessing, and discharging any fireworks within the city." --

Are you enjoying Justin's 'post-national' state?

-- "The Durham Regional Police investigation began in April 2026 when two victims were  threatened and assaulted with a firearm." --

No gun... no problem...

-- "Two Toronto residents have been charged after a man was ambushed and stabbed at a park in Scugog, Ont., last month." --

IN DETROIT THEY TAKE THEIR FRIED CHICKEN SERIOUSLY...

-- "Two Detroit sisters, Brianna and Kierianna Long, are accused of stabbing a worker at a Detroit chicken restaurant during a wrong-order dispute.  The siblings also threw hot grease, pans and other items at her." --

Ain't no mountain high enough...

-- "Brianna, who was 9 months pregnant at the time of the incident, gave birth four days before her arraignment." --

NOT A BOB OR A DOUG TO BE SEEN...

-- "Manav Kotak, 18, has been charged with robbery, disguise with intent, possession of a prohibited firearm, possession of a prohibited device and two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking." --

Toronto apprenticeship program going great guns...

-- "A 12-year-old boy is facing an attempted murder charge after he struck a Toronto Police officer with the stolen vehicle he was driving in East York." --

THE GUYS WITH THE WAY-COOL NAMES...

-- "Tharshan Thaparanantham, 41, has been charged in connection with several assaults that were reported near Coxwell and Danforth avenues on Friday night. Details of the assault and the type of weapon involved were not disclosed." --

And...

-- "A double stabbing near Dundas Street and Mississauga Road in Mississauga late Sunday night sent two people to hospital, including one with serious injuries." --

And...

-- "Toronto Police say an officer was struck by a car after investigators discharged their firearms at a vehicle in the city’s east end early Monday morning. The incident is connected to a shooting near Mortimer and Donlands avenues." --

UPDATE: TORONTO HOMICIDE #14/2026... NO GUN, NO PROBLEM...

-- "A homicide investigation is underway after a person was struck and killed by a vehicle during an early-morning brawl with a 'large group of people' at Keele Street and Wilson Avenue in North York. A second person was also transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police have not released any suspect descriptions." --

Mob gathers to have a large street battle at 6am on a Sunday morning then kills someone with a car. 

Doesn't sound like anybody I grew up with. 

UPDATE: Murder victim identified...

  --  "Late Sunday night, Police shared a photo of Erik Safar, 32, of Toronto." --

UPDATE2: Big money-saver... Toronto adopts self-service policing...

— “‘For the people responsible for this murder, find a lawyer and turn yourselves in.’” —

Yup... sounds like Keele & Wilson...

-- "The victim was then beaten with a baseball bat and run over several times." --

THE GUNS THE LIBERALS NEVER SEEM TO WANT TO TALK ABOUT...

-- "A man and woman are in hospital both fighting for their lives after being shot during an EARLY MORNING HOME INVASION near Steeles Ave and McLaughlin in Brampton.   At  least two suspects armed with firearms entered the residence through the rear of the home while the occupants were sleeping.  No suspect descriptions have been released." --

Why do people choose to live in a war zone?

-- "Peel Regional Police’s crime mapping application has recorded 84 break-ins across both cities between May 14 and June 14." --

So what are the Carney Liberals doing to keep us safe?

-- "In what promises to be yet another exercise in futility, Culture Minister Marc Miller last week introduced a ban on social media for children under 16 years of age." --

Well, that... and bringing in more and more 'Timmigrants.'

RELAX... IT'S NOTHING THE COOK COUNTY MACHINE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF...

-- "Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout. Reports that contractors and subcontractors remain locked in payment disputes make the largely unfunded reserve even more problematic." --

YOUR DAILY GTA MAYHEM...

-- "Toronto Police say a man in his 50s is in hospital following a stabbing near Victoria Park and Danforth avenues in the east end Saturday night. No suspect information has been released." --

But wait... there's more...

-- "A man was rushed to hospital early Sunday morning after a stabbing at Union Station. Investigators have not released a suspect description at this time." --

And there's this...

-- "There’s a heavy police presence in central Oshawa after a male was shot near Ritson and Taunton roads on Sunday afternoon. Police provided no information about this shooting." --

BREAKING...  Oh, look, a description of the offender...

-- "Toronto Police are on the hunt for a man who is wanted in connection with a stabbing at King and Dufferin streets in Parkdale on Sunday afternoon.  The suspect is described as a white male with long white hair." --

BARBARIANS ARE ALREADY INSIDE THE GATE...

-- "A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after stabbing a 17-year-old girl in the neck in broad daylight on the streets of a Lancashire town on Friday." --

Don't get me started on France.

SURE SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY IS PLAYING FAST & LOOSE WITH THE TRUTH...

-- "This comes a day after a senior Trump administration official told reporters that the US and Iran are close to a deal requiring Iran to relinquish its uranium, which has been enriched to near-bomb grade, to the US." --

Trump, 80, on Sunday, is running on fumes for Nobel Peace Prize...

-- "Netanyahu, who is not directly involved in US-Iran talks, was caught off guard by the pending agreement." --

The unvarnished reality is, without the enriched uranium, any peace agreement is a joke. 

Meanwhile, Israel does the real slogging.

WHEN YOU ONLY NEED HALF OF THE STORY... CP24 HAS A VAGUE, ANECDOTAL TALE...

-- "One man has been rushed to hospital from a [NOT SPECIFIED] Brampton restaurant after a large fight involving eight or more people broke out early Sunday morning. Police said most of the [UNNAMED] people involved in the fight are known to one another." --

I'm pleasantly surprised Jermaine included the name of the city this took place in. 

AI to the rescue...

-- "If you are looking for a spot near the intersection of McVean Drive and Cottrelle Boulevard, you have several highly rated options offering everything from authentic Indian cuisine to quick-service sandwiches." --

I'm so old, I remember when Brampton was a part of Canada...

  --  "Then who's gonna deliver my food if all the Uber drivers are chopping arms off in Brampton.  This is why my chicken shawarma was cold last night."  --  

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW SUMMER SCHOOL MEDICAL DEGREE...

-- "The Ontario College of Teachers is introducing a new one-year teacher training program while keeping the current on-the-job practicum requirement at 80 days. At 80 days, Ontario has one of the shortest practicum requirements in the country." --

♪ "MAKING A LIST... CHECKING IT TWICE..." ♪...

-- "U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) ‘delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike’ to successfully execute Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, the infamous leader of Tren de Aragua.   'Under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.'" --

MEANWHILE, BACK IN CARNEY'S 'COMMIE CANADA'...

-- "An investigation into shootings at GFL Environmental Inc. facilities led to the shooters-for-hire who targeted Toronto’s U.S. Consulate earlier this spring and are suspected of being involved in Thursday’s shooting death of a Toronto police officer." --

Shooters are know-nothing savages...

-- "They don’t even know what they’re doing. They’re given an address and told to go shoot this address." --

I'M GUESSING OL' STACEY WAS A BIT OF AN OJ FANGIRL AS WELL...

-- "Stacey Patton, a professor from Howard University's School of Communications, tore into the father of slain Texas teen Austin Metcalf, arguing that the teen's death did not begin with the knife wielded by Karmelo Anthony but instead that his father's parenting style was to be blamed as well." --

Nota bene...

-- "Patton's piece was published a day after Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of Austin Metcalf." --

Howard University is one of the infamous 'Historically Black Colleges' that apparently does not believe in taking 'the high road.' 

More of the community's 'best and brightest.' 

 I guess I now understand where Scott Adams was coming from.

IF THIS BLOG SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS... IT'LL BE BECAUSE OF COMMISSAR CARNEY...

-- "'Social media posts deemed to 'undermine social stability' would be subject to blocking orders by a federal censor under a cabinet bill introduced yesterday. 'The law applies as soon as it comes into force,' said Heritage Minister Marc Miller." --

But, don't worry... I'm sure the government funded CBC will tell you everything you need to know.

MAYOR OLIVIA CHOW WAS APPARENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT...

-- "FIFA confirmed that the Villarreal midfielder has been denied entry to Canada due to a series of rape charges in England. The charges stem from 2021 and 2022 when Partey played for Arsenal." --

Hmm, that's weird... Chow went to bat for the Somali with terrorist links.

THE GUYS WITH THE WAY COOL NAMES... YET AGAIN...

-- "Cops executed Criminal Code search warrants at the residence and arrested Aderyen Hadjarab, Zineddine Naas-Arabas, Ahmad Fares, and Rayan Cherchar. Hadjarab, Arabas, and Ikkene were out on bail at the time of their arrests." --

Meanwhile... in other 'better or diverse' news. 

And, well... there's Brampton again.

THE PRESIDENT WHO SECRETLY MET WITH LOUIS FARRAKHAN...

-- "Obama made the solemn statement as part of a press release in which he bemoaned the lingering racial disharmony that exploded during his presidency. At publishing time, Obama had assured the American people that he would continue to work as hard as he always had at stirring up further racial conflict." --

Farrakhan, Farrakhan... that sounds so familiar.

IT ISN'T JUST SWEDEN THAT'S 'PUMPING THE BRAKES'...

-- "The Swiss People’s Party has proposed to limit the population of the wealthy European nation to 10 million until 2050, including foreign nationals and native-born residents. Since 2000, the foreign-born population of Switzerland has increased from about one in five residents to one in three — compared to one in six in the US." --

AS IF IRELAND DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE...

-- "Axel Erick Wolfgang Liebsch Morales, 33, from South America, was wearing a balaclava and carrying a Sig semi-automatic handgun and two clips of ammunition.  His body was taken to University Hospital Limerick, where Gardaí put his fingerprints into the Interpol system. It was discovered he was wanted for two murders in another EU jurisdiction. The driver of the car that was carrying the gunman fled the scene." --

THOSE DARNED 'MONTREAL' MEN...

-- "Ontario Superior Court Justice Jane Kelly sentenced Dan Hakizimana, 22, and Hassan Farhat, 21, in Toronto on Thursday in the death of Issaïh Jünger, 18." --

ANOTHER BATSHIT CRAZY KILLER BACK ON THE STREET...

-- "Rohinie Bisesar, the Toronto woman found not criminally responsible for the notorious 2015 stabbing death of an innocent stranger has been given an absolute discharge and is no longer under the supervision of the justice system." --

NOTA BENE...

-- "A year ago, at her previous annual hearing, a majority of the review board had ruled that Bisesar continued to pose a significant threat to public safety." --

If she hurts anyone else, can we lock up the 'clinical review team?' 

You can trust the experts... right? 

In other diversity news...

AH, YES... TORONTO COMMUNITY HOUSING...

-- “At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America.” --
