BREAKING:
3 Doors Down have announced the passing of their founder, lead singer, and songwriter Brad Arnold, who died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, February 7, at the age of 47 following a battle with cancer.
Arnold was a founding member and a defining voice of early 2000s mainstream rock, best known for writing the band’s breakthrough hit “Kryptonite” at just 15 years old. His songwriting helped shape a generation, blending emotional honesty with radio-defining rock anthems.
He is survived by his wife Jennifer and family. The band and family have asked for privacy during this difficult time.
🖤 Rest in peace, Brad Arnold. Your music and legacy will live on. #3doorsdown
I was arrested two hours ago, handcuffed, searched and jailed for “causing a disturbance”.
I was just released moments ago.
I wasn’t causing a disturbance — I was standing by myself on a public sidewalk, silently filming a grotesque pro-Hamas mannequin in a Jewish neighbourhood — a reenactment of Hamas leader Yayha Sinwar. It would be like someone reenacting Hitler — and police were stopping me from filming it.
I was pushed away from it by one officer. And another officer, named Macduff, said if I didn’t go to a special “free speech zone” they’d set up far away, I’d be arrested. I told him Canada was my free speech zone, I was a citizen and taxpayer, and I would not get off the sidewalk.
Macduff said that was causing a reaction. I said the hysterical reaction of foreign thugs who hate Jews (and most other Canadians) doesn’t give them a veto over my Charter rights.
Macduff said he “was the law”. I told him no, he was a servant of the law. So he arrested me and had me taken to jail. I was just released and I’ll have more to say — including in a lawsuit against Macduff and @TorontoPolice for violating my rights and refusing to protect me.

Criminals did not get your message. Our communities are experiencing a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% increase in gun-related homicides compared to this time last year. What difference does your handgun ban make when 85% of guns seized by our members can be sourced to the United States?
Your statement is out of touch and offensive to victims of crime and police officers everywhere. Whatever you think you’ve done to improve community safety, has not worked. @JustinTrudeau
The University of Waterloo is looking for “gender-fluid” people, as well as women, sexual minorities and non-white people to meet the “diversity, equity and inclusion” quotas of its Canada Research Chairs positions.
