MURDERED
Const. Marc Pinizzotto was 43.
The Toronto Police officer was executing a warrant against suspects with terror ties — who shot at synagogues and the U.S. Consulate.
He was betrayed by government and police leaders who coddle terrorism, rather than eliminate it.
@AndrewCSelman Nann later remarked, "How was I, or my 5 office staff, supposed to know about planned correctional transition housing development in the Ward I have 'represented' for 8 years??" We're too busy cosplaying militant social justice warriors. What a "misrepresentation" of our purpose!
Last night, I attended the community meeting regarding the planned CMHA facility, which is designed to house individuals who have had contact with the criminal justice system. Neighbours brought forward serious, valid questions about the project but walked away with few answers.
What was most disappointing was hearing our current Councillor, Cllr' Nann, state she "didn't know anything about this project." This isn't a sudden proposal; this project and planning documents detailing this site's intended use have been active for years.
Showing up, reading the paperwork, and tracking what is happening in Ward 3 is a core requirement of the job.
If elected as your Ward 3 City Councillor, I won't be caught off guard by neighborhood-altering proposals and neither will you. Proactive leadership means catching these things before they become a done deal, not reacting after the fact.

Veterans get one day, but nutbar Liberal MPs want every July to recognize Somali migrants. Canadian citizens with Somali heritage are a measly 0.18%. 50 years ago there were almost no Somalis in 🇨🇦.
Somali "heritage" doesn't exist here. Ottawa couldn't be any more ridiculous.
It turns out when you inject accountability alongside the offer of services, about 30% of the homeless take the services. That's far higher than street outreach. The RESET center is working in San Francisco. @kunalmodi

Wagner holds press conferences like this one every year to lecture Canadians that criticizing court decisions amounts to portraying judges “as partisan actors, or described as obstacles to the will of the people.”
But if the judiciary wants to be “sheltered from all politicization,” maybe the Chief Justice shouldn’t be holding press conferences wading into political debates.
You can’t appoint yourself a public commentator and then claim immunity from public criticism. Canadians have every right to object when courts invent rights found nowhere in the constitutional text or effectively legislate from the bench.
@JohnPaulDanko@vincentneilho@PierrePoilievre@CPC_HQ Do you have any semblance of authenticity in your vapid power-hungry personality man? Remember this you clown? The fall will be epic and enjoyable for so many in Hamilton. Enjoy it while it lasts ;)
@jonkay@vincentneilho@JohnPaulDanko That self-righteous twit @JohnPaulDanko once called a local Hamiltonian trans advocate a "toddler with a microphone". #Pride right JP? But only in June! Ego the size of Grand Canyon and as opportunistic as a cockroach. No spine to speak of. Would say anything to get ahead.
After years of catch-and-release policies, repealed mandatory minimums, and rising violent crime, the Carney Liberals have gone even further.
Today, Bill C-16 passed report stage with a Liberal provision that allows judges to bypass virtually every mandatory minimum sentence in the Criminal Code except for murder and treason.
Conservatives fought to remove this provision. The Liberals voted to keep it.
Mandatory should mean mandatory. The Carney Liberals continue to put the interests of offenders ahead of the safety of Canadians.
“As a father, I can’t even start to get my head wrapped around this. This is clearly a deranged, sick, sick, sick individual. And like it or not, there are some people in our society who can not and should not be free to be out and about, and Allan Schoenborn is one of those people. There is nothing, not one thing, which suggests that this is someone who should be granted more freedom,” says Mayor Brad West

@PeterDyakowski@TheSpec reported that all this was for an annual savings of $300k. These same staff waste that before breakfast most Tuesdays each week. Consultants, insiders, procurement debacles, The NeverEnding Story (ie cyberattack), social service fraud etc - ran out of space, not fiascos
I am outraged by the B.C. Review Board’s slippery slope normalization of someone who killed their children.
A conditional discharge is not a minor administrative step. It is part of a process that moves him closer to greater freedom.
This is an individual who since incarcerated has had incidents of verbal aggression and threatening behaviour toward staff and in a previous hearing said the public should “lighten up”.
This is also an individual who successfully changed his legal name.
Promised reviews and reforms of the BC Review Board have amounted to not a damn thing. The status quo remains and victims and the public suffer as a result.
@BayObserver The entire SLT staff for this City is a giant embarrassment. This is clearly related to the non-existant vetting for Prasad, as though that was not a Cluckie hire. And this comes after she promoted the grossly incompetant Mater! Its fiasco after fiasco for @AndreaHorwath's team
Activist power grab from Day 1. Naive centrists on Council are just as guilty for falling into this ploy. Toronto demonstrated what an ideology-driven disaster this quickly becomes.
No! We're all paying $6k/yr for the city to pick up our trash. It's the only @cityofhamilton service that still works. Council rejected bi-weekly pick-ups before. Why do city staff keep recommending it & paying consultants for reports? If staff won't listen to Council, FIRE THEM!
Back in late 2023, CBC News interviewed a teenage girl, Amelie North, who told them that she and her friends had used diverted “safer supply” hydromorphone. CBC then censored any mention of safer supply diversion when reporting on her story — I know this because Amelie was one of my journalistic sources.
To put it this way: the CBC was so committed to defending the Liberals’ safer supply experiment that they essentially lied to Canadians — including parents with vulnerable children — about the dangers of diversion. They put kids at risk for the sake of their partisan agenda.
And now they have the audacity to present themselves as a bulwark against disinformation.

In any other sector, an employee spending $10,000,000 without authorization—and on something with little perceived value towards advancing their core mission—would be fired.
You win some, you lose some.
Canada lost Dr. Emmanuel Moss, a brilliant Chief of cardiac surgery in a Montreal hospital who is leaving Canada due to rising antisemitism.
Dr. Moss will be gone but now Canada has Naveed Awan, a pro Palesitinian organizer from Pakistan who became famous for harassing Canadian Jews in their neighborhoods.
Canadians need to understand this is a choice too many of them made by being silent about Antisemitism.
A Senate committee just voted to amend Bill C-9 to criminalize “denying or downplaying” the residential school system.
Up to 2 years in prison.
Read the language.
“Downplaying” is not defined anywhere in the bill.
Quoting the TRC’s own death records: could be downplaying.
Quoting Chief Casimir saying “not a mass grave”: could be downplaying.
Discussing GPR’s documented limitations: could be downplaying.
The same week the legacy media is being forced to correct its own original 2021 reporting, Parliament is moving to make repeating those corrections a crime.
The same government that won’t let Albertan’s vote on a question about a question, is now deciding what historical facts you’re legally allowed to discuss.
Insane.
