The BBC is reporting that "Sweden's foreign minister has spoken of grief among her colleagues after it emerged that a diplomat who was questioned this week on suspicion of spying has been found dead."
"The man, described as a high-ranking diplomat, was arrested by Sweden's Säpo intelligence service on Sunday and released on Wednesday. He had denied wrongdoing, although prosecutors said he remained under suspicion."
"Images of the door to the diplomat's flat on Swedish TV showed that it had been forced open at the time of his arrest. The diplomat had sought medical treatment for injuries and submitted a report alleging use of excessive force at the time. Säpo said the arrest had been peaceful."
"Unconfirmed reports from public broadcaster SVT suggest Säpo had been investigating a possible link to the sudden resignation of the new national security adviser, Tobias Thyberg, who quit hours a day after taking on the role. Hours before he resigned, sensitive pictures of him on the dating app Grindr had been sent anonymously to the government."
Castanet is reporting that "Const. Chris Terleski said on Wednesday, May 14, at about 11:30 p.m., police responded to a report of a shooting that took place on Okanagan Hills Boulevard in Vernon."
“The investigation has determined that the incident stemmed from an earlier assault that took place between a man and woman in a vehicle while parked at a pullout on the road,” Terleski said in an email. Following the altercation, a male suspect returned to the scene and allegedly fired a weapon several times.”
"The suspect was later located and arrested safely and without further incident by police in the Falkland area.The 33-year old man is currently in police custody and will be held until he makes his initial court appearance."

GTA be cray yo. These young kids have no respect for life. Not even their own. In taking a life they lose their own.
Man, 19, charged after double shooting in Oshawa
City News is reporting that "Durham Regional Police have charged a 19-year-old man after a double shooting in Oshawa on Wednesday that sent two males to hospital."
"Officers responsed to calls for a shooting in the John Street West and Simcoe Street South area at around 7:10 p.m. Once on scene, officers found an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the hip. He was taken to a Toronto-area hospital with non life-threatening injuries."
"Not long after, a hospital in the Oshawa area notified police about a male who arrived at the ER with a gunshot wound to the leg. “Investigators determined that this 16-year-old male was also a victim from the same shooting incident. His injuries are also considered non-life-threatening. The suspect fled prior to police arriving at the scene, but was found a short time later hiding in a nearby construction site."
The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "Carlos Nathaniel Monteith, 29, received a mandatory life sentence Monday, May 12 with no eligibility to apply for parole until he's served 25 years in prison, after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in the 2019 contract shooting of Kristijan Coric at a gas station in Surrey."
"Coric, 29, of Surrey was shot dead on Sept. 28, 2019 at the Mobil Gas Station at 18699 Fraser Highway. Coric's girlfriend was the driver and Coric was in the front passenger seat. They'd been tracked to the station with a GPS tracking device that was attached to the Mercedes' rear undercarriage."
"Prosecutor Rod Flannigan said Coric was shot three times in the head at close range, and was also shot in his chest, arms and lower body. Seventeen bullet shells were found at the scene. He told the court it's not known who hired Monteith in the contracted hit."
"Verhoeven agreed with the Crown that it was indeed a contract killing, concluding Coric's murder was a paid killing or assassination of Mr. Coric on behalf of unidentified others.The court heard Monteith already had 22 youth convictions and 20 adult criminal convictions. That makes 42 in all, Flannigan noted. This will be his 43rd."
Another contracted murder without naming who hired the murder. That means nothing will change until we start naming who hired these contract murders.
CBC is reporting that "A 20-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder and two other suspects have been arrested following the death of another 20-year-old man in uptown Saint John on Tuesday morning. Police announced Wednesday afternoon that Hayden Donald-Bentley appeared in provincial court. He was remanded into custody and will appear in court next on May 21."
Two more people charged with first-degree murder in fatal Saint John shooting
Update: CTV is reporting that "A 17-year-old and a 30-year-old are both facing first-degree murder charges in connection to a fatal shooting in Saint John, N.B., earlier this week. The youth, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was formally charged on Wednesday. He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in court on May 21. Sheldon Scrubb, 30, was charged on Thursday. He was also remanded into custody and will appear in court on May 22."
As for the young offender, thanks to Chuck Cadman, Young Offenders who commit violent crime like murder can be tried as adults and named. CBC is reporting that "The victim was identified in Saint John provincial court Thursday as Thomas Connor Wilson."
CTV is reporting that "A man has been arrested in relation to a number of shootings that occurred over the course of Sunday in Fort St. John, BC. Officers conducted a search of the home where the third shooting had taken place and found evidence that linked the incident to the first, police said. Sgt. Ian Rissanen said all of the shooting events over the weekend are believed to be related to the Fort St. John drug trade."
"Kelly Shular was arrested Monday and faces numerous charges including breaking and entering, alongside possession, use and careless use of a firearm. Shular is due to appear in court June 4."
December 2014 Kelly Shular was described as a prolific offender when he was pulled over with a prohibited firearm. It was a sawed off shotgun. He was already prohibited from possessing firearms at that time. Just like Donnie McWhirter was when he committed one of his firearm offenses.
CTV is reporting that "Mounties are investigating a shooting at an encampment in Prince George, B.C., that left a 15-year-old girl injured early Wednesday morning. Prince George RCMP said the incident unfolded on Patricia Boulevard, in the area known as Moccasin Flats, shortly after 1 a.m. The shooting happened in a recreational vehicle that is parked at that location, the detachment said in a news release."
"Authorities have yet to identify or arrest a suspect." It was inside a trailer for f*ck's sakes. Only a couple of suspects. So what's an underage 15 year old girl doing at a drug infested encampment? Sounds like underage human trafficking.
Speaking of tariffs, did you hear US customs are doing secondary inspections of vehicles leaving the US before they enter Canada? What could they be possibly looking for?
If they were looking for fentanyl coming from Canada they would be inspecting vehicles entering the US not leaving. If they were looking for Americans who may have bought something in Canada without paying the tariffs they'd be searching vehicles entering the US not leaving the US.
The only motive for these new secondary searches is to make the lines longer to discourage Americans from visiting Canada. Nice move. How's your booming tourist economy doing?
On that note, did you see Trump completely caved in on tariffs with China? You can trade with the Communist party of China but you can't trade with Canada, a former friend and ally.
That man is a complete lunatic and his approval rate is dropping. That's not fake news that's reality. Midterms he will become powerless then he will be gone. A poor player that struts and frets his hour up on the stage and then is heard no more. What a disappointment.
CP24 is reporting that "Police have laid charges against three suspects from Toronto after 18 kilograms of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl were seized following a three-month long drug trafficking investigation in York Region." Olivia Waterman, Jason Hart and Zakariya Desai have been charged with drug trafficking offenses."
Meanwhile back on the ranch, in BC the CFSEU's big news is they charged a Surrey Jack with uttering threats. No drug busts. They won't even bust Blaze for selling crystal meth on his front lawn while in the program in a house they pay the rent for. But they'll pay Blaze a sh*t load of tax dollars to lie about Conor D'monte. The system's not broken, just the CFSEU is.
Even the Surrey girl busted in Orillia had her charges stayed. I guess Mia Sanchez is going to take over for Morgan Nicholson and become IHITit's new crew ho. This is how they roll. They get their people to rat out the people they hired. The police get a bust and in exchange they get to continue selling drugs so nothing changes. That is the broken system we need to fix.
CTV is reporting that "A residence in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, in the Jacques-Cartier MRC near Quebec City, was shot at twice this week. The suspects again shot at the home on Friday evening, at around 8:30 p.m., prompting a major police deployment."
"The residence is located in a densely wooded residential area where neighbours are a safe distance away. The house in question may belong to Mathieu Pelletier, an alleged member in good standing of the Hells Angels, according to the daily Le Soleil, which said it had checked the municipal land register."
Today is mother's day and I have a heavy heart for more reasons than one. When we think of mothers we tend to think of kindness and compassion. There's a scripture that says when a child asks for bread will you give him a stone?
Again the parable of the good Samaritan comes to mind. We could easily retell it today as the good Palestinian or the good Jew. Samaritans were hated at the time so Christ picked someone the locals hated to shatter a stereotype.
When we see a pregnant woman on the bus we instinctively rise to give her our seat because it's the right thing to do. It doesn't matter what race or religion she is. She's a mother and childbirth is a monumentous task. If it was up to men to give birth we'd hit zero population instantly.
Up until recently I subscribed to a Palestinian news outlet on YouTube so I could get the other side of the story. The things the mainstream media wasn't telling us. Recently they posted a video of a Muslim extremist calling for a Jihad against all of Israel. That's exactly how we got into this mess.
Was it an agent provocateur paid by Mosaad or was it just a small minded extremist shooting himself in the foot? It could have been either. I find myself having to unsubscribe to extremism on both sides of this and many other debates.
Then I see John Rustad reposting a video on X of a Islamic extremist cursing the Jews glorifying martyrs and my heart breaks. After all the atrocities in Gaza this is all you can come up with? It reminded me of Marc Emery scouring the Internet for examples of extremism to justify his racism.
Obviously that Muslim was a whack job. Yet that doesn't change the facts. Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin came to a landmark agreement called the Oslo accord. It was an inspired compromise that established peace. A Jewish extremist murdered Yitzhak Rabin and Mossad created an extremist group called Hamas to push Fatah and the PLO out of Gaza so they could sabotage that agreement and the peace it created.
The extended map of Israel was drawn long before the October 7th attack. Targeting aid workers, starving civilians, shooting children and civilians with drones is not acceptable.
Sexually assaulting Palestinian prisoners is not acceptable. Raising a golden statue of Donald Trump on the graves of dead Palestinian children is not acceptable. It is all very unChristian. It is all an abomination just like censoring all the Jewish protests against Netanyahu in Israel is.
Don't scour the Internet for examples of extremism to justify your extremism. Scour the internet for examples of good and godliness which includes compassion and justice.
Remember that huge press release about a big drug bust in South Korea tied to the Rock Machine in Canada? Yeah, what about it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That's odd.
August 23 2024 the Vancouver Sun reported that "A 55-year-old Vancouver man with suspected links to the United Nations gang and the Rock Machine has been arrested in South Korea with a large amount of cocaine." It was another big song and dance from Five Eyes like the fake News about James Riach switching sides in prison or Damion Ryan taking a contract from the government of Iran to kill dissidents. A whole lot of smoke and mirrors followed by a whole lot of nothing.
So what about it? Let's talk about what we know and what we've found out. First of all, drugs aren't very big in South Korea. In 2018 the Guardian reported that Koreans in Canada who try pot legally could be charged in Korea.
OK that's highly unlikely but the fact is pot isn't very popular in Korea. It's socially stigmatized. Famous Korean musicians have been caught smoking pot overseas only to come back and find their careers ruined. Obviously drugs infiltrate everywhere but the demand for drugs isn't as high in Korea as it is elsewhere.
When I first heard them claim this bust involved the Rock Machine I said Bullsh*t. The Rock Machine is pretty much non-existent. They aren't running huge lines into new markets.
That's when I said name him. Oh we can't do that because his name is protected by Korean law. How convenient. Well this isn't Korea and the suspect's name is Cirilo Lopez. He is not a member of the Rock Machine or the UN so once again we see the Five Eyes Lie. He's someone the dirty cop in Saanich tried to blame the murder of Lindsay Buziak on running interference for the real killers.
Just like the claim that James Riach switched sides in prison and is now working for the UN not the Hells Angels. That was another bold faced lie so do the math hand ask yourself why did they lie? Last month they seized two tons of cocaine coming into Korea on a cargo ship. That was once again brought to you by the Five Eyes. They brought it in. More smoke and mirrors.
Korea JoongAng Daily is reporting that"Authorities said they were acting on intelligence received on Tuesday from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which warned that a foreign-flagged ship scheduled to arrive in Gangneung was carrying concealed narcotics." The FBI told them the cocaine was there.

Reuters is reporting that "Chinese buyers bought between 400,000 and 500,000 metric tons of wheat from Australia and Canada in recent weeks, traders said, as heat threatens to damage crops in China’s agricultural heartlands."
The Western Standard is reporting that "Justice John Gibb-Carsley ruled that blogger Daryl MacAskill, who wrote under the name Ace Ventura, was in contempt of court for defying a 2024 injunction ordering him to delete blog posts targeting Sandher Fruit Packers Ltd. of Kelowna."
Castanet is reporting that "A BC Supreme Court judge has issued an arrest warrant for a man who's accused of running a campaign of harassment and defamation against a Kelowna family, after the man continued to publish allegations against the family, and the judge, in defiance of a court-ordered injunction."
Wow, Victoria News as well as CTV has picked up on the story. I guess he got what he always wanted. Free publicity. This isn't the first time he's been to jail for defamation and criminal harassment. Jay say'n.
Candice Malcolm from True North and Keean Bexte from the Counter Signal joined forces to create Juno News and I'm left deeply disappointed. We have a real need for independent media yet they all seem to have their own agenda which starts off sincere then heads off into the darkness.
Ezra Levant is obviously Mossad but I had hoped for something more from Juno news. Candice Malcolm comes off as very kind and polite but she leads us down a road where you find people who aren't very kind or polite. Wolves in sheep's clothing.
I realize Candice Malcolm met her husband campaigning for Stephen Harper. Harper was a d*ck. He's the one that poisoned the Reform party and brought it back to Mulroneyism. Stephen Harper was right wing but he wasn't a Conservative. He was a tax and spend, insider trading enemy of the Charter of Rights.
So I guess I shouldn't be surprised Candice Malcolm and Keean Bexte have joined forces with Ezra Levant to sow seeds of distention and promote separatism, but I do find it inherently disappointing. Keean was the one that posted the misinformation about Alberta separation not being subject to First Nations ratification erroneously claiming that treaty rights are not enforceable in the courts.
So they're going to void treaty rights and trample right over the First Nations. That's incredibly disappointing. All this extremism promoting selfishness, greed and hate. That's not the society I want to live in. I think the problem stems from linear stereotypes and the refusal for many on the left or the right to draw lines.
You're left wing? Great. How far left? Left of centre? How far are you willing to go? Is there a point where you can draw a line in the sand and say that's too far. I don't agree with that. The same with the right. Are we prepared to set healthy boundaries?
You're conservative? Great. That's considered right wing. How far right are you willing to go? Are you prepared to draw a line in the sand and say that's too far. I don't agree with that.
For me, I draw the line at LGBT. I don't support Q + because that is infinite. There are no lines drawn and no boundaries. I think most people left of centre can draw the line and say Furries are too far. Whether they have litter boxes are not. Even if they don't. That whole campaign is unhealthy.
Benjamin Netanyahu is not a Conservative. He is too far right. He's so far right it's completely toxic. In America, Donald Trump has gone too far. The blind devotion to his mistakes is cult like. It's as though he's saying come worship me as we literally dance around all these golden statues. That is modern day idolatry. It is an abomination.
Yet Mark Carney's devotion to Net Zero and the UN's New World Order of fake environmentalism is also an abomination. Everyone has to draw lines. The problem stems from refusing to do that. Make everything linear and blindly support one or the other. That is unhealthy. Blind devotion to anything is blind.
The scriptures talk about planting a good seed in your heart and nurturing it so it can grow. Christ gave a parable about a man who planted wheat in the field. While he slept an enemy planted tares among the wheat. When the servant saw the tares he said to the master shall we gather up the tares? The master said not yet. The wheat's roots aren't strong enough. We need to wait until the wheat gets stronger. Then we can pull up the tares and cast them into the fire. Take heed. Mind how ya go.
A lot of times people make a rash decision without thinking it through and when it goes sideways people jokingly say what could possibly go wrong? Well if you're changing your gender and are getting bottom surgery, a lot. That's one decision you really want to think through first.
Today I want to think about how Alberta separation could backfire for the residents of Alberta. First I want to talk about selfishness and greed. We have seen when a government gets greedy and raises taxes that can easily backfire on them.
Case in point, California. They raised taxes and businesses left. They moved to Arizona, Texas or Florida where taxes are lower. So despite raising taxes, the government has less tax revenue because many businesses left. It's the same with tariffs.
Tariffs are taxes. Raising tariffs raises the price of everything you build and buy. So if you get greedy and raises tariffs you shoot yourself in the foot by losing revenue.
Selfishness and greed are often self defeating. You make a rash decisions based on greed and you end up having less money than you did before you made the rash decision. Keeping that in mind, let's look at the first and most obvious way this could backfire on Albertans.
As I said in my post about Alberta Separation, one of the biggest concerns we all have is the Net Zero fraud. Justin Trudeau wanted to ban all gasoline cars and motorcycles in Canada. As I said that would be a huge slap in the face for Alberta because their whole industry revolves around oil and gas.
Here's the deal. As I said in my podcast, if Alberta leaves Canada, it will be much harder for us to elect a Conservative government. That means their Net Zero bullsh*t is in like Flynn. That would significantly affect Alberta's market for their oil and gas. So by hurting us by preventing us from being able to elect a Conservative government, they would hurt themselves and greatly reduce their future revenue.
There is the US market but what if they elect another Joe Biden and ban gas cars as well? The UN's unholy push for Net Zero is real. That's why we all need to push back together.
There's the Chinese market. Justin Trudeau bought the Trans mountain pipeline. What if Carney says no more pipelines? What if Carney shuts down that pipeline for Net Zero? That's one way Alberta separation could seriously backfire.
We need each other to fight this. Alberta has oil but it's landlocked. BC has a port. We need each other.
Update: Harper and Mossad's propaganda outlets claim that "Legal experts agree First Nations can’t block Alberta separation." Oh really? Their lawyer says. Their lawyer is not a judge. That's their lawyer's argument which simply is not true.
“There is nothing I’m aware of that would suggest that First Nations people could prevent those discussions from taking place,” said Dehaas. “Even where treaties exist within Canada, the law is clear: that it is the Crown [that] is sovereign and holds underlying title to all of the land.” Alberta is not the crown!
The treaties are with the government of Canada who represents the crown. The treaties are not with the government of Alberta they're with the government of Canada. If Alberta separates from Canada they separate from the crown just like Ireland did. So Harper and Mossad's propaganda outlets are lying again. They have an agenda and that agenda is not to make you free.
82 "Consistent with this long tradition of respect for minorities, which is at least as old as Canada itself, the framers of the Constitution Act, 1982 included in s. 35 explicit protection for existing aboriginal and treaty rights, and in s. 25, a non-derogation clause in favour of the rights of aboriginal peoples."
84 "The secession of a province from Canada must be considered, in legal terms, to require an amendment to the Constitution, which perforce requires negotiation."
We often see the vocal minority is indeed a vocal minority. I personally think if a referendum in Alberta is conducted we will see the same thing we saw in Quebec. They don't have 51%. They have less than 49%. That doesn't mean those feelings aren't real. It means we should discuss what's fueling those feelings. If all the First Nations in Alberta voted against Alberta separation, then they have far less than 49%.
I've already made a podcast about Alberta separation. I hope they choose to stay. Yet there is definitely a split within Alberta conservatives. Many Alberta conservatives are federalists. That means an overall referendum would indeed be far less than 50% so we do need to talk about what is fueling extremism.
Preston Manning used to be the man. He created the Reform party based on fiscal responsibility and those ideas swept the west. The east saw it as a separatist party so they didn't buy in. Yet it wasn't. It was much more than that.
Preston Manning gave a pivotal speech challenging us to look beyond the left and right. He said instead we should look at issues not linear stereotypes. He coined the phrase unite the bright. Then a typo called it unite the right and they ran with it and in so doing, they lost their original values.
Brian Mulroney was a right wing tax and spend globalist. He was not a Conservative. Brian Mulroney was the reason the Reform Party was created. Since the Reform party was unable to form government without Ontario, Quebec and eastern Canada, Preston Manning merged back with Mulroney's fake conservatives just so Harper could get elected and Harper became a fake Conservative.
Preston Manning has preached unite the right ever since. He dropped the ball and became a sell out. He doesn't talk about looking beyond the left and right any more. Now he blindly endorses the right with no regard for the original ideals of the Reform Party. That is inherently disappointing.
When you go far right you lose the conservative values and become globalist. Merging with right wing globalists is a bad idea. It is a far better idea to merge with freedom fighters who are left of centre than corporate communists who are far right.
