Victoria Buz is reporting that "A 28-year-old man was sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to a number of drug and gun charges related to a mid-level trafficking operation in Greater Victoria. On August 5th, BC Supreme Court Justice K. Wolfe sentenced Jesse Cameron Draves to 10 years. With credit for time served after he was arrested in May 2023, Draves will spend just under eight more years behind bars."
"Overall, police seized 470 grams of fentanyl, 2.16 kilograms of meth, 253 grams of cocaine, 15.4 liters of GHB, and 1.5 kilograms of MDMA. Police also recovered a loaded Desert Eagle handgun, a Colt M4 automatic rifle, a high-capacity magazine, thousands of rounds of ammunition and more than $7,000 in cash."
I saw the Supreme Court decision posted online and I was like WTF. A .50 cal desert eagle is a very nice gun but there is no way that guy could have handled it effectively. The assault rifle, sure but the .50 cal pistol, no way. Just say'n.
The Masada is very nice too. Very different from the Jericho. The Jericho is modeled after the CZ 75 while the Masada is modeled after the Glock. It has the Glock safety on the trigger. It's an affordable rough and ready combat pistol. If it's your first time firing a .50 cal dessert eagle, just put one round in the magazine. That way you won't put three in the ceiling.
Notice Ash is not shooting from an isosceles. She gets it.
It's worth noting that Ash has perfect form. Notice her finger is not on the trigger until she's ready to fire. Even though it's pointed down range. She doesn't put her finger on the trigger until she's actually ready to fire. That's important.
She seems to put a lot of faith in the safety. At least she knows where it is. After she fires she tells the person filming the safety is on. I guess that's the difference between Canada and the US. In the US they're used to walking around with loaded firearms. We're not. When we finish shooting we take the magazine out and clear the chamber. We don't put the firearm down or hand it to someone else unless we've made sure it's unloaded.
She's shooting from a strong base. That's a modified weaver like a fighting stance. You can't shoot a rifle from an isosceles and it's unwise to shoot a heavy caliber pistol from one either.
However, it's not just about the legs. The recoil comes in two directions. Backwards and upwards. My range buddy has a Ruger Redhawk. It's a .44 magnum. The 629 is evenly balanced but the Redhawk is not. The Redhawk is noticeably top heavy.
The reason they make it nose heavy on purpose is to reduce the upward recoil. If you look at the first video the .50 cal pistol went straight up and hit her in the head. Not funny.
We've all heard the story about the cop who tried to shoot a .50 cal Desert Eagle with one hand. The upward recoil made the pistol point straight up. The backward recoil jerked his finger on the trigger which caused him to pull the trigger again by accident. After frying it once he put three in the ceiling. Very unsafe. The Redhawk is nose heavy to avoid that.
Hickok45 did a review of the .50 cal Desert Eagle. Hickok45 can handle the .50 cal because he has a whole lot of experience. He previously did a review of the .44 Desert Eagle and people asked him to review the .50 cal. They said it's not a Desert Eagle unless it's a .50 cal. That is ridiculous. People who say that have no idea what the Desert eagle is or was.
The Desert eagle was an Israeli military side arm chambered in .357 and .44 magnum. Since it's such a large and heavy pistol, that reduces the recoil. Kind of like the Tommy gun. The Tommy gun is heavy but because it's heavy there's very little recoil coming from a .45. Same idea with the original Desert Eagle.
As for Ash's flawless stance, I did see a video of a guy who claimed the IDF have a new combat stance. The guy was squatting down in a horse stance while in an isosceles. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The IDF used to be better. Much better.
Well now there's another one. "GR EXCLUSIVE: RCMP Probing Rumors Of Canada Hells Angels Boss Marty Robert Doing Black-Market Oil Deals In Russia." GMAFB.
GR Exclusive. We know what that means. If you want to know what's going on with organized crime in Quebec, the French papers are the place to go. In March of 2025 Le Journal de Montreal reported that the number one Quebec Hells Angel is under investigation by the RCMP for his trips to Russia.
That article made some interesting points. "For several years, Martin Robert has also been the subject of a 'watch notice' from Canadian authorities, who closely monitor his movements abroad when he flies, according to our sources."
So they have been closely monitoring him for years and they still don't have sh*t on him. That's what that means.
"On March 29, 2023, the police arrested him during a high-profile operation on Highway 50, in addition to conducting a search of his vast estate in Sainte-Sophie, in the Laurentians, but this drug investigation did not lead to any charges."
The article posted two interesting pictures of Marty Robert. One with a tat of the Kremlin and the word Moscow below his wife's name. The other is the club's colors or patch on his back with the bottom rocker that says World. Marty Robert is a member of the International Hells Angels. That's a big deal.
Pitbull used to call himself Mr Worldwide. Well Marty Robert is the real deal. The article continues to state "The RCMP is wondering why Martin Robert made several trips to Russia between 2022 and 2024, and whether this poses a threat to Canada." Threat to Canada. GMAFB.
First of all, you want to know what he was doing in Russia? I can tell you right now because it's pretty obvious to anyone with a brain. He's making inquiries to see if the Night Wolves want to patch over and become Hells Angels.
As for being a threat to Canada, F*ck off. CSIS is a threat to Canada. A CSIS operative was a member of ISIS in Syria. You need to clean up your own sh*t before you clean up anyone else's. As I've consistently said, the CIA is a criminal organization. They are the largest drug traffickers on the planet. CSIS works for the CIA through the Five and a Half Eyes.
As I've said before, I like this guy. Police have been monitoring him for years and they have nothing on him. They claim his mother in law was a drug trafficker. She ran a legal grow on a Mohawk reservation which the police burned down because they didn't want the competition.
His wife is a bit of a TikTok sensation posting funny videos about motherhood often with her daughters. The club needs some stable leadership. Mr Worldwide is in a completely different league than Damion Ryan and Gumby. Embrace it.
CSIS claims that Marty ordered the hit on Greg Wooley, Picaso. I think that's bullsh*t. They said it but they didn't charge him so they're lying. Marty was originally from the Death Riders in Laval. That means he was tied to Mom Boucher from Day one who was tied to Greg and the Rizzutos. Stadnick rats out rivals.
Wally the back stabbing Weasel Stadnick ordered the murder of Greg because he supports the Calabrians out of Hamilton over the Rizutos and Wally the Weasel works with CSIS. Just say'n.
As fires still rage and draconian "woods bans" remain in place, perfectly air worthy water bombers sit idle on the tarmac because there is no one to crew them.
This further highlights how government mismanagement, not climate change or @JeffEvely's sneakers, is to blame for the… pic.twitter.com/vFlnugKmpK
The Guardian is reporting that "Pope Leo XIV called for the 'pandemic of arms, large and small' to end during a weekly public prayer with crowds in St Peter’s Square on Sunday that also addressed the plague of mass shootings in the US."
That is very prophetic but not in a good way. When I was in Ireland, many locals would share with me their oral traditions. They would all say in the last days you won't be able to tell the summer from the winter. Many people kept saying that and my response was where is that from? It's not in the Bible. Was that someone local like Colmcille or Saint Patrick?
Ian Paisley would often call the Pope the Antichrist but Ian Paisley was an as*hole. He preached hate so he was more of an Antichrist than any Pope we've ever had. Yet I do foresee a problem in the future and it revolves around the adoption of a state religion. I believe in the freedom of religion. That's what the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights protects. Christian, Muslim, Jews, Sikh, it doesn't matter.
Adapting a state religion would violate those two sacred documents. It's also a stepping stone to the formation of a Marxist Leninist Atheist State. First you get rid of all religions but one, then you get rid of that last religion and voila, mission accomplished. The Pope speaking in favor of gun control is not a good thing. It's a step towards the UN's New World Order.
The Pope declaring Canadian Residential Schools a genocide instead of owning the Catholic church's long history of sexual abuse in the residential schools was another red flag.
There is a huge difference between a cultural genocide and a literal genocide. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were all literal genocides brought to you by Fascism and Communism which are variations of the same thing.
Will the Pope one day embrace Communism to become the State Religion? Perhaps. After all other religions have been abolished, Communism will then betray the Pope and their mission will be accomplished. This is what happens when you sell your soul to the Devil. The Devil tricks and betrays you.
Why do I care about religious freedom? Because that is one of the first things they take away before they take away all your other freedoms. Except Tim Houston the fake Conservative in Nova Scotia first takes away your right to hike in the forest.
Slavery is a big part of Communism yet they never admit that part. No one is going to buy slavery. That's why you have to sell it as something else. So people will be tricked into buying it.
So the Pope speaking in favor of gun control is a very bad thing. Just like sexual abuse within the Catholic Church and Catholic private schools is a very bad thing. Two wrongs don't make a right. They are simply both wrong.
The previous record was set in Iraq where over 800 people all participated in a hike up a mountain. Today we had 1566 people and broke that record. It was a great idea. Everyone knows what the Kathmandu brand is now. It was a lot of fun. A whole lot of people getting physical outdoors. Nice.
Our apologies to Iraq. We invite them to beat our record and we'll try and beat it again next year. Hiking outdoors is good for everyone. The Himalayas run through Iran and Iraq. New Zealand has lots of mountains too. The Kiwis on the first few expeditions up Everest did very well.
Driving into Vancouver this morning the mountains were covered in low hanging clouds but as soon as we started driving up the mountin the clouds lifted so it was a hot sunny day.
BBC is reporting that "A federal appeals court has ruled most of Donald Trump's tariffs are an overreach of his use of emergency powers as president."
"The so-called reciprocal tariffs - imposed on nearly every country the US trades with - are being illegally imposed, the US Court of Appeals said on Friday."
"The decision upholds a May ruling from the Court of International Trade, which also rejected Trump's argument that his global tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act."
"The court did not halt the tariffs but instead said they would remain in place until mid-October, setting up a further legal challenge in the US Supreme Court."
Emergency. What emergency? This is, as Rand Paul declared, government over reach. Tariffs are taxes and Congress regulate taxes. This isn't a monarchy. Napoleon is dead. Get over it.
Joseph Bouchard is reporting that "This proxy war has boiled over into the world of nonprofits. Washington-based think tanks more heavily funded by Exxon tend to be more in favor of maximum pressure, whereas those that receive more funding from Chevron appear more supportive of the Chevron model."
Crime and cartels have absolutely nothing to do with it. This is once again simply about an oil monopoly to control production and fix prices. A free market is in the consumers best interest. A free market that includes Venezuela.
💰 In 2024/25, the federal government alone spent a record $53.8B on debt interest — more than the $52.1B it paid to the Canada Health Transfer
Canada’s public debt is increasing so quickly that it is now costing $2,000 per Canadian, per year just to cover the interest charges pic.twitter.com/6x0BhWpQ61
CBC is reporting that "Carney says Canada will meet 2% NATO spending target by March. $9.3B in new spending includes military recruitment, pay increases for personnel."
It's interesting to see how the mainstream media is misrepresenting this. 2% doesn't sound like much. $2 of what? 2% of Canada's GDP. That is huge and it doesn't stop there.
APTN News is reporting that "Rutte’s proposal is to hike spending to 3.5 per cent of annual GDP on core defence needs — like jets and other weapons — and another 1.5 per cent on defence-adjacent areas like infrastructure, cybersecurity and industry." That all sounds fine and dandy but it's not.
At first we have conservatives rightly complain the Carney spends far too much money that leads to uncontrolled debt and mass inflation. That is true. Now all of a sudden Carney makes it sound like he's spending the money on Canada's national defense and he want conservatives to jump on board with mass spending like the Democrats do in the US.
NATO has become bad. This is like saying we're going to double and more than triple spending on the UN and the WHO. It starts at 2% and quickly jumps to 5%. This is all money we don't have pushing us further and further in debt until the interest on that debt enslaves us. He's pledged an additional $2 billion for Drones in the Ukraine. How much of that $2 billion is going to be spent on drones and how much is going to get laundered through FTX and end up in oligarchs pockets?
Although Pierre Poilievre likes to complain about everything Carney does so he can promote himself, he's probably not going to complain about the massive increase in NATO spending. War profiteering is good or is it?
Uncontrolled spending is bad. This kind of debt will not liberate us, it will enslave us. Stephen Harper was a globalist that supported the World Economic Forum just like Tim Houston in Nova Scotia. Neither support freedom or fiscal responsibility.
When Thomas Mulcair was the leader of the federal NDP and ran against Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper, he was the ONLY candidate that supported a balanced budget. Stephen Harper did not. Justin Trudeau was the complete opposite. He defiantly promised to spend his children's inheritance which he did. When Canadians saw how that resulted in mass inflation and the rise in the cost of groceries and gas, they finally realized that uncontrolled spending is not a good idea.
Stephen Harper is a bad man just like Tim Houston. Blind allegiance to anyone is blind. Not all conservatives are the same. In fact not all conservatives are conservatives. Fiscal responsibility matters. A lot. Our future depends on it.
The government is behind this. Each shooting is more traumatizing than the last because the goal is to scare us into compliance. It is the tried and true strategy of 9/11 and the Manson murders— both CIA operations. Do not ever agree to hand over your 2nd amendment rights.
The American news came on at the gym yesterday while I was doing cardio and I just shook my head. Everything is so dramatic and extreme it just doesn't seem real. It looks like Hollywood. Remember how extreme the fake news was during Trump 1.0? They obsessed over stupid things that didn't matter.
Then Trump 2.0 comes out of the gate and we were all like WTF? The guy has completely lost his mind. He sold out domestic production of American oil for the Saudi monopoly. He got a luxury jet and his son in law got $4 billion for his hedge fund from Saudi. Then he hoped into bed with Netanyahu.
Now his former enemies and the fake news love him. You know the saying a friend of the world is an enemy of God? Well a friend of the fake news is a globalist. So now we have a mentally deranged shooting at a Catholic school mass.
I have mentioned about how people with mental health problems do have access to guns in the US. Sonny Barger's ex Noel Black had a permit to carry while she was on bipolar meds. As we saw, that probably wasn't a good idea as she frequently mixed her meds with alcohol.
Yet we're forced to ask, how far did and how far does MK Ultra go? The purpose of the experiments was mind control. To get someone to do something they normally wouldn't do. Like a mass shooting perhaps? It's hard not to think so.
Look at the extreme nature of the messages written on rifle magazines. It doesn't seem real. One said Kill Trump. One minute Trump was the fake news' public enemy number one. Now Trump is the fake news' shining star. As yourself why.
There is absolutely zero reason to believe the MK Ultra program ever stopped—a CIA program in which our government used pharmaceuticals to create clinically insane, schizophrenic monsters. We see this example everywhere today. These shooters are copy-paste as though they are out…
CBC is reporting that "A dozen people were taken to hospital after two boats collided on Okanagan Lake near the William R. Bennett Bridge in Kelowna Wednesday night, according to B.C. Emergency Health Service."
Tragic and baffling. They say alcohol or conditions weren't a factor. The only thing I can think of is one boat was anchored without lights on and another boat didn't see it but it was one 40 minutes after sunset so it wasn't pitch black out. If a boat is traveling at night surely it has some kind of headlight. We kayak at night with headlamps so we can see and be seen.
City News is reporting that "Burnaby became the first city in Canada to call for a full and immediate arms embargo on Israel Tuesday. City council unanimously voted to pass the motion, Advocating for Canada’s Role: Peace for the Palestinian People, which calls on Mayor Mike Hurley to advocate for establishing a full two-way arms embargo with Israel and transform the Gaza temporary resident visa (TRV) program to support the safe reunification of Gazan-Canadian families.”
People can argue City Councils have no business with international politics but this is a significant human rights concern. If it was Hitler in the holocaust, everyone would rightfully be speaking out against it. Notice this resolution is not supporting Hamas. It supports an arms embargo on both sides.
It's interesting to note how the mainstream media's coverage of the Gaza genocide is starting to change. Today on the radio they talked about the Burnaby City council resolution but they also talked about current Jewish protests in Israel calling for an end to the war. I have never heard local mainstream media mention a word about those protests.
Up until now they were completely censored. In the beginning of the war for the first whole year if you expressed the slightest concern about killing children and aid workers you were branded pro Hamas and antisemitic which was absurd. The mainstream media intentionally allowed this atrocity to continue without any criticism for over a year.
Now all of a sudden the mainstream media is starting to flip and it's hard not to think there is an agenda behind it. What's happening is horrible and needs to stop. These double taps are an atrocity. Bombing civilians then bombing the emergency workers and journalists. I think the key thing is to acknowledge the Jewish protests in Israel calling for an end to the war and for Netanyahu to resign. Netanyahu has very little public support and his electronic voting is a concern for everyone. So is the UN's New World Order. Netanyahu is bad but so is the UN's agenda. Don't be fooled by the manufactured emergency.
I found this video on my phone from last year. It's a video of the sunset from Sky Chair last August. This is why I get anxiety over the thought of leaving Vancouver. I love it here. Je me souviens. The musician was from Ireland so he was. You can also watch the sunset or sunrise from the webcam any day of the year.
This is another video of the same place April 2025 right when ski season ended.
Killing the journalist will not kill the story. We stand in solidarity with journalists in Gaza risking their lives to tell the truth: https://t.co/FKtrJ5r3hj

CBC is reporting that "Israel struck one of the main hospitals in the Gaza Strip on Monday — and then hit the facility again as journalists and rescue workers rushed to the scene, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens more, local health workers said." That's called a double tap. It is Satanic.
CBC is reporting that "A Surrey, B.C, car wash was shot at late Monday night, and the owner says he was first threatened with extortion and then burgled."
"The Surrey Police Service (SPS) said officers were on patrol and discovered bullet holes in the front of 1313 Car Wash, in the area of 128 Street and 84 Avenue, around 11 p.m. PT on Monday." Same night 4 blocks away there was another.
The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Another Surrey business has been targeted in the recent string of extortion-related shootings. Article content According to Surrey Police, the owner of a business located in the 12800 block of 80 Avenue contacted police Monday morning to report what appeared to be damage from gunfire." This is getting ridiculous.
I can't see CSIS not being involved in this. In 2022 CBC reported that "an ISIS member who was also working as a CSIS operative smuggled three British teenagers into Syria in 2015." A CSIS operative was an ISIS member. Exactly.
When I said CSIS was the reason Dave Pickton got a free pass and was never charged despite knowing where the bodies were buried, I didn't make that up. CSIS contracted Grant Wakefield to investigate Kerry Ryan Renaud. They were concerned about the Hells Angels supplying arms to white supremacist groups. They considered Kerry a "skinhead."
When Grant reported back that there was no white supremacist group they said thanks we no longer need your services. That's all they were concerned about. They didn't care about the fact that Kerry was a crystal meth cook for the Hells Angels.
Nor did they care about anything else going on at the farm. They considered Dave Pickton a Confidential Informant in that investigation and gave him a free pass for EVERYTHING else. How convenient. It's as though that investigation was a cover for everything else going on there which they helped hide.
They likely tried to create a white supremacist organization here like how they paid Grant Bristow to create the Heritage Front back east but no one here took the bait.
The RCMP then hired Grant Wakefield to investigate Jim Brown. They wanted to find dirt on him. When Grant found it the RCMP said thank you we no longer need your services. They just wanted to be able to blackmail him if he ever blackmailed them. That's when Grant Wakefield became a whistle blower and the RCMP covered it up. Again.
The fact that CSIS had a operative who was a member of ISIS in Syria says it all. The CIA created ISIS and CSIS supported the CIA. Let me guess, that CSIS op in Syria was illegal just like their Hong Kong op was using MI6 as a cover.
We took advantage of the sun and put the kayaks in at Glen Valley Regional Park on the Fraser River today. When it's this hot in summer all the main waterways are packed. Glen Valley Regional park is tucked away off the beaten track.
Right when we were about to put in a couple with two kayaks pulled up in their vehicle. They said Stave lake was packed and the tow trucks were towing everyone parked on the gravel road. That's pretty shady. Glen Valley is kind of like the Bedford channel in Fort Langley. It's right across from Crescent Island. Very calm and quiet. A bit muddy when the tide is out.
I just realized if you paddle around the Island and across the river you can paddle up Hayward Lake. That looks cool. I was hoping to try that today but we went the wrong way around the Island and I ran out of gas.
Everything looks so small on the map but seems so much longer when you have to paddle it manually. We went clockwise around Crescent Island as the tide was going out.
Which meant we were paddling up the Fraser when the tide was going out. The current wasn't noticeable as we always stay on the side looking for eddies but paddling downstream once we circled the island was a lot easier and faster than paddling up stream on the outside of the island.
We should have went counter clockwise or east because the current in the channel was even less noticeable. If we went counter clockwise I might have had enough steam left to paddle up Hayward lake which is on the other side of Stave lake.
The east end of the island has lots of cool sand bars when the tide is out. On the outside of the island on the north east corner a boat had docked and they were sitting on a couple of lawn chairs on the sand bar enjoying the view. Crescent Island is quite narrow. This is from the east looking west.
If you're feeling energetic, this appears to be the way up to Hayward lake after you circle the island and cross the river.
