Two women have come forward to Toronto Police with allegations against Jian Ghomeshi, a police spokesperson said Friday night.If Jian Ghomeshi is to be put on trial, let it be in a court of law, not the court of Jerry Springer...
There are no safeguards in that court, no testing of the evidence, no rules or boundaries.Amen.
As Abe Lincoln famously said, “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”
Now, before anyone gets too excited about these numbers, just know there's a perfectly reasonable explanation...“To be … the leader of a nation, and we’re not just a band, we are a nation, and to lead it for 34 years, is something totally unheard of, I don’t care in what political field you’re in.”Of course, Chief Sam can have the entire Shuswap nation over for a backyard barbeque...
The Shuswap have 267 members, of whom just 87 live on the reserve.**********
A Liberal government would scrap the new federal legislation that led to the recent revelation that the chief of a small Lower Mainland band had received income last year totalling close to $1 million, according to leader Justin Trudeau.I'm speechless.
TORONTO - A burned body was discovered under a bridge late Wednesday evening. “At this time, there’s nothing to indicate that there’s foul play involved in this death,” Const. Victor Kwong added.CSI Toronto.
“The investigation is focusing on whether these interactions could have contributed or facilitated, in any way, the terrorist attack subsequently committed by Zehaf-Bibeau.”Of course, not everyone is in agreement...
OTTAWA — NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said the latest information about Zehaf Bibeau indicates that he should not be defined as a terrorist.C'mon Tommy... even Justin Al-Trudeau isn't fighting the RCMP on this one.
While thousands of mourners packed a church and lined adjacent streets in industrial Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday for the funeral of the soldier shot dead in last week’s attack on the nation’s seat of government, this Muslim filmmaker tried to make it all about “islamophobia.”
Victimizing the victim, that’s his jihad. No empathy, no humanity, just victimhood and supremacism.
"Does this really surprise anybody? They were selling T-Shirts at this guy's FUNERAL."
I understand that the conventional wisdom is that most victims of sex assault don’t report, but surely to God, when they do, it should not be to a newspaper.**********
Ghomeshi's public Facebook page has tripled its number of fans since his post about the allegations went up; over 100,000 people have liked this post, and nearly 50,000 have shared it.Looks like presumption of innocence still lives on.
A petition to “BAND TOGETHER AND SHOW THE CBC HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IMPACTED BY THEIR IRRATIONAL DECISION” (whatever that means) has over 4,000 signatures.
The note, sent to CBC staff by e-mail on Tuesday afternoon, makes reference to a “continuing investigation” and says it will take into account “any new information that becomes available to us, either directly or indirectly.”**********
"He did take me by the throat and press me against the wall and choke me," actress Lucy DeCoutere said. "And he did slap me across the face a couple of times."So, now the question is... will this matter proceed to the police?
She doesn't recall telling him to stop but said her facial expression turned very serious and Ghomeshi was no longer violent after that. She left within an hour and saw Ghomeshi two more times that weekend, but they did not discuss the incident, and no further violent incidents occurred.
She said she had no physical marks on her body from the attack and did not seek medical attention or report it to the police, partially because she felt there were too many holes in her story.
Vickers immediately ran behind the other side of the pillar. That put him an arm's-length away from Bibeau. According to guards, Vickers actually could see the barrel of Bibeau's gun pointing out, a foot away.Normally, there would be a media frenzy as reporters and left-leaning politicians demanded to know why tasers and teams of social workers had not been deployed.
Vickers did not hesitate. In one motion, sources told CBC News he dove to the floor around the pillar, at the feet of Bibeau, turning on his back as he landed and simultaneously firing his weapon upwards at Bibeau.
Bibeau was hit multiple times and fell to the ground. Vickers kept firing, emptying his entire magazine.
As soon as Bibeau dropped, the rest of the security team sprinted forward and opened fire.
Cirillo was shot in the back with a rifle by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, A HOMELESS MAN, who minutes later rushed the Centre Block of Parliament, where he wounded a security officer before being shot to death by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers.Homeless, huh? I guess Justin Al-Trudeau was right about root causes after all. That whole leaving Canada to go to Saudi Arabia thing must've just been a coincidence.
"In Ontario we are already engaged with many communities, right from my own riding ... that has one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, and there are many, many people who are engaged with us."I'm not sure what sort of engagement the Premiere is referring to. It can't be engaged as in marriage... because marrying outside the faith, or converting to another religion is a crime that, in most Muslim countries is punishable by death.
TORONTO - The Ford Motor Co. is saying adios to plans for a new Windsor-built global engine, opting to take the investment and jobs to Mexico, the autoworkers’ union says.No wonder Ontario is on the road to a Detroit-style bankruptcy. Ford put a pistol to our figurative head and when we stopped paying ransom, they pulled the trigger.
The automaker apparently sought an unprecedented amount of government support to build the new global engine in Windsor.
"I hope we are not going to change too much as far as our safety is concerned and as far as our freedom is concerned, but our safety was affected," said imam Sikander Hashmi from the Kanata Muslim Association on CBC Radio’s Ottawa Morning.There are two people who have lost their lives to terrorist acts here (as well as many more maimed)... and none of them is Muslim. There are two terrorists who perpetrated these unspeakable acts... and both of them are. Muslim, that is.
Habib Nasrallah, a civilian member of the RCMP in Ottawa, also reached out to CBC News to share his thoughts on radicalized individuals. He wanted to make it clear Islam does not condone terrorist activity. "There are Muslims out there who are not insane, who understand Islam the way it should be understood."Good to know, Habib. Again, I'm not sure whether there's a language barrier here, but you do understand that, using most local community standards, simply being "not insane" is setting the bar really, really low.
Justin Trudeau, celebrated successor to the Liberal throne, ostensibly speaking for all Canadians, addressed the attack on the House of Commons and the murder of a second Canadian soldier in the space of two days without once using the words "TERRORISM" or "MURDER".I’ve extended an offer of full support to the government, along with any assistance members of our party can provide at this time.Sure thing, kiddo... you and your peeps jock up, grab Glocks and kevlar and synch up with the Mounties at Centre Block.
"To our friends and fellow citizens in the Muslim community, Canadians know acts such as these committed in the name of Islam are an aberration of your faith."Thing is, I'm guessing most Canadians would prefer to hear that sort of thing from the
"The gunman who staged a deadly attack Wednesday on Parliament Hill was a terrorist whose despicable crime will only harden Canada's resolve to crack down on terrorists at home and abroad."CRIME DU JOUR: Boko Haram strikes again
Hmmm... this could be a bad day to be Michael Mann.
Criminology professor David Klinger told KMOX’s Charlie Brennan that he conducted a thorough, decade-long study that showed there were 1,265 murders over that time, with 90 percent of the victims being black. And 90 percent of those black victims were killed by other blacks.**********
“While I understand the people are concerned about the use of deadly force by the police, by far – about 50 to 1 – more blacks in St. Louis are killed by other blacks as compared to white police officers,” Klinger says.
Over that same period, Klinger says 31 blacks were killed by police officers – 21 by white police officers.
“The sad fact is, we had well over a thousand black-on-black homicides in the city of St. Louis during that same decade,” he says.
Seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account, but none of them have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety, The Washington Post’s sources said.
"The Ottawa shooting victim is Nathan Cirillo, 24, a reservist serving in Hamilton from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada regiment."**********
Just last month, Public Safety minister Steven Blaney tabled his report “2014 Public Report On The Terrorist Threat To Canada” and warned “terrorism remains the leading threat to Canada’s national security.”**********
How prophetic those words now ring in Ottawa.
Yeah, vote for Justin Trudeau. I dare you."There's so much we don't know about who may be behind this."CBC now reporting there may be a myriad of reasons for this latest incident. Despite a billion dollar yearly government subsidy they are actually advising people to keep an eye on Twitter.
"I'm hearing all kinds of sounds, but I don't know what they are."Another CBC professional breathily recounting that she sees police officers...WEARING BULLETPROOF VESTS!!!

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services plans to seek a vendor to produce as many as 34 million blank work permits and 'green cards' – the paperwork that authorizes illegal immigrants to live in the United States – as the White House prepares to issue an executive order AFTER the Nov. 4 midterm elections.**********
"White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest declined to address a Breitbart News report about a 'surge' of immigration ID’s requested by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services."Surprise, surprise.
"The officials briefed on the case said the forensic evidence gathered in the car lent credence to Officer Wilson’s version of events."Get ready to watch Ferguson go up in flames.
FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) – A report by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch this morning shows the official autopsy supports Ferguson officer Darren Wilson’s claim that Michael Brown struggled with him in his patrol vehicle, and that Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot Aug. 9.
The Danish law currently states that humans can have sex with animals as long as the animal doesn’t suffer, which begs the question: how would one know if an animal enjoyed human sex?Surely, now... if the small-minded Conservative haters are opposed to inter-species love... Justin must immediately launch a new diversity initiative. Yet another Liberal policy... "Yea & Neigh."
Yeah, let's blame the inanimate powder... not the people who bought it, prepared it and injected it onto their veins. 'Cos we all know that pencils write poetry.“One time a girl came and told me there were 44 people in front of her,” said Lampkin.Your tax dollars at work.
That kind of lineup would represent a considerable wait, because users take an average of 15 to 20 minutes each. Some take considerably longer.

Regulators from the United States and the United Kingdom will get together in a war room next week to see if they can cope with any possible fall-out WHEN the next big bank topples over, the two countries said on Friday.Anybody else notice they weren't using the word "IF"?
Women’s reproductive rights trump the freedom of Liberal members of parliament to "vote their conscience" on abortion, Justin Trudeau said.Justin Trudeau claims to be a Catholic... but he not only supports abortion... he's made it a mandatory Liberal Party plank. Stop and think about that for a moment. Your Liberal MP is not allowed to consider your wishes, or even think for himself. He or she must put aside all other considerations and vote the Justin line.
Trudeau has said that any Liberal MP, regardless of their personal beliefs, would have to vote against any proposed legislation that could limit a woman’s right to an abortion.
The teacher’s union, with 76,000 members, has a posting on its website looking for presenters for a workshop called “Re-thinking White Privilege,” but without any definition for the term.Full speed ahead, Ontario... you can define all those pesky terms later.
It asks only that candidates understand “white privilege and systemic issues,” and have a commitment to equity and social justice.
Of course... what have heterosexual caucasians ever accomplished in this world?
The Secret Service gave information to the White House suggesting that an Obama aide had a prostitute in his hotel room in Colombia. This led to the firing or punishment of nearly two dozen Secret Service agents and U.S. soldiers, but not the aide.Oh yeah, the aide in question was the son of a lobbyist who had, coincidentally, made a rather significant contribution to Obama's campaign fund.
"It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass."You mean, like rewriting the law of the land?
The White House is drafting options that would allow President Barack Obama to close the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by overriding a congressional ban on bringing detainees to the U.S., senior administration officials said.Yeah, Gwyneth... power-wise... I'm thinkin' he's doing just fine.
Such a move would be the latest and potentially most dramatic use of executive power by the president in his second term.
"...you cannot be managed effectively in segregation of a maximum security institution, never mind in the community."And then they let him go.
As federal officials touted national agencies’ success in stopping terrorist acts at an Ottawa committee hearing, NBC News published a report saying that U.S. intelligence officials are tracking ISIS imitators in Canada targetting the U.S. embassy in Ottawa and an unspecified shopping mall.Couldn't happen here, right?
Talk about taking "eating your own young" to a whole new level.A former spokesman for President Barack Obama, Bill Burton, is upset about some of the things Panetta wrote in his memoir, which hit shelves yesterday, and called the long-time public servant "sad," "dishonorable," "small and petty."I'm a little surprised he didn't call Panetta a racist. I'm sure someone on Team Dreamy will.
Toronto police ... continue to search for at least three other suspects, a day after two male students died during a brazen daytime shooting in Etobicoke.That's gotta be as experiential as it gets. What's so special about this particular school?
The double shooting happened outside of the Toronto District School Board's School of Experiential Education... at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Monday.
One of the victims, 17-year-old Zaid Yousif, was a student at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary near Islington Ave. and Dixon Rd., not far from where the shooting occurred.Remember back in high school, somebody made you angry... you pulled out a gun and shot them?
The second victim was identified by friends as 15-year-old Michael Menjivar. He was a student at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic high school, located near Keele St. and Finch Ave.
Friends in Regent Park are reeling over the loss of 18-year-old Yusuf Ali, one of three teens shot dead in Toronto in a single afternoon this week.**********
Ali was shot to death on Sydenham Rd. near Shuter St. and Trefann St. on Monday afternoon. That same day, two teens — 15-year-old Michael Menjivar and 17-year-old Zaid Youssef — were fatally shot near a high school in Etobicoke.
The double murder comes two weeks after Hamid Aminzada, 19, was stabbed to death in a hallway at North Albion C.I. -- a school located only a few hundred metres from where Yousif's family lives.
"...that these are not cats. I understand wanting to believe that. It’s like wanting to believe that racism is over. We all want to believe that the world is a better place than it is."
"However, it is clear that what you see here are in fact cats.They are just not very good cats."
TORONTO - A man is dead after being shot multiple times during what appears to be an early morning robbery outside an unlicensed after-hours club in the city’s west end.Bright lights, big city.
TORONTO - One man has been shot dead in the downtown core and three suspects considered armed and dangerous were being sought by police Monday afternoon.What a place.
The shooting happened in an alley just east of Parliament St. south of Shuter St.
Actually, I'm more worried about Justins apparently unlimited supply of magic fairy dust.
Const. Victor Kwong said the man suffered "obvious injuries" and was pronounced dead at the scene. The man, the city's 41st murder victim of the year, has not yet been identified.
