In March of 2025, Sergeant Joel Tuininga was walking the beat with another officer in the unit block East Hastings. They were assigned to Task Force Barrage, a community safety initiative targeting organized crime groups who prey on vulnerable residents in the Downtown Eastside. Suddenly, without warning, a man approached Sergeant Tuininga from behind, attacking him and stabbing him in the leg several times, and then fleeing. Despite his serious injuries, Tuininga recognized the urgency in apprehending the armed and dangerous suspect, and despite his injuries, he and his partner immediately gave chase. Following his broadcast for back-up and paramedics, additional officers arrived to assist. As they closed the distance and the man continued to ignore their commands to stop, one of the officers used a conducted energy weapon. The suspect fell to the ground, dropped the knife, and was taken into custody. At the same time, two additional officers were treating Sergeant Tuininga’s injuries, applying a tourniquet and other measures to stop the bleeding. Due to the seriousness of the injuries, and the delay of paramedics, the officers then transported the sergeant to hospital. For his courage and determination in pursuing an armed and dangerous suspect, despite sustaining serious injuries, Sergeant Joel Tuininga was awarded the Chief Constable’s Commendation.

As I’ve said on the record many times before… Closure of this Public Provincial Park by the NDP to non-indigenous British Columbians is not acceptable and is divisive. The NDP set the precedent a number of years ago by allowing closures at Joffre Lakes. If it’s about safety, parking, garbage etc then the province needs to be better in managing the space for all to use equally. #bcpoli

Can BC do anything right? My god.

Reminder that the Supreme Court made it practically impossible to sentence young offenders as adults

Make it make sense!!!

Joffre Lakes is a Class A provincial park, meant for the public. BC is now excluding the public from the entire 1,487-hectare park for 31 days, with “no indication” it considered the constitutional rights of British Columbians. As @JCCFCanada warns, the demands of particular groups do not dictate the rights of the public. #bcpoli jccf.ca/race-based-closures-…

Why does @CTVNews continue to call Scott Reid a political commentator? He is a Lifelong Liberal, who worked for Liberal Prime Ministers and his son now works for the current PM who he is praising. How misleading can @CTVNews get? Here is an idea, call him a Liberal Strategist, Liberal Party member or Father to a Mark Carney employee.

I'm debating renewing my VPN service because I don't know if there's any point, in Canada

VPN companies will leave Canada. The government will force companies to retain your data for one year. The legal threshold for police access to your data will be lowered. Meanwhile, the federal government is cancelling all debate on Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, in order to pass this legislation before Parliament adjourns on Friday, June 19. Now, more than ever before, Canadians who care about privacy must urge their Members of Parliament to defeat Bill C-22. This is a critical moment in our history: will Canada be a free nation or a surveillance state? Canadians have defeated "lawful access" legislation before, and we must do so again.

Absolutely perfect example of the NDP’s perfectly predictable total incompetence. Gross mismanagement of logistics, infrastructure, public safety, drug crisis, construction, DRIPA, etc. They couldn’t organize a one car parade.

This is what happens when you elect the NDP. They somehow spend more money to get less results.

Stunning incompetence

The 12 year old in question pinned the cop with a car. The cop didn't have time to check IDs, he was afraid for his life. The WTF belongs should be aimed criminal apologists like you.

The next Surrey Police Chief must be able to attract bus loads of good cops. There are reputations in policing circles. Choose wrong. The wrong cops will come. Good ones won’t. Choose right. Lateral recruitment will soar and the organization’s image will greatly improve.

“She finished in like 500th place in 2020 w/zero delegates despite friendly media, was handed the nomination in 2024 and somehow did 8% worse among black voters than her dead white predecessor Joe Biden, but is she right for 2024? Ta-Nehisi Coates investigates” pewresearch.org/politics/202…

Your government was the one who loosened bail and sentencing laws in the first place. You've caused incalculable harm including death to Canadians as a result of your woke incompetence @SeanFraserMP. You don't get credit for fixing your own mistakes.

NEW: the NDP has fired the current contractor for the George Massey tunnel replacement project. Now there’s no environmental assessment and no contractor, 8 years after cancelling the bridge. This government is completely inept. #bcpoli #georgemasseytunnel podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

These are great columns. I’m glad that Eby is belatedly developing some common sense here.

Doug concluded his 2021 piece by asking “wouldn’t we be further ahead discussing how to move more people into effective treatment programs, so they can lead lives they find fulfilling?” That is precisely the approach that Mr Eby was urged to implement in 2020 based on overwhelming scientific evidence. Are we ready to have that conversation today?
