He says some personal items were also stolen from the man's encampment under the bridge. Tyre says police have some leads, but no suspects."We're not sure who the individual or individuals was that did this. Nor do we know what their motives were, so it is very, very concerning that this kind of incident could happen.

PUBLISHED: 12/16/2019 The federal Liberals unwrapped their Throne Speech with many promises for Canadians. The only problem is the vision is about as clear as your view in a blinding snow storm. Governor General Julie Payette read the road map the Grits are laying out for their next mandate. This one will be a little trickier to navigate with just a minority behind the wheel, depending on the support of the Bloc or NDP to make things happen. Within the foresight for Canadians, more strides toward climate change, a more affordable middle class, an aim to reduce homelessness and a closer relationship with Canada's indigenous peoples. All laudable goals, but the point of a map is to tell you how to get somewhere, and this seems to be quite vague. The vote on the Throne Speech will come in the New Year. ———————————— Please register your vote on this topic at: https://www.unpublished.vote/issue/527/2019-liberal-throne-speech and email your MP to tell them why you think the way you do. ———————————— GUESTS: Warren Kinsella http://warrenkinsella.com/ Frank Graves https://ipolitics.ca/author/frankgraves/ ————————————REFERENCES: https://globalnews.ca/news/6265022/pablo-rodriguez-throne-speech-western-alienation/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/singh-says-bloc-won-t-push-government-after-supporting-throne-speech-1.4719205 https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/mulcair-what-the-throne-speech-reactions-tell-us-about-party-leadershttps://beta.canada.com/news/national/conservatives-say-trudeau-throne-speech-an-insult-to-people-of-alberta-saskatchewan/wcm/ef4ffcbb-f131-479c-b4dd-c3222c02a8c8/amp/ https://www.canada.ca/en/privy-council/campaigns/speech-throne/speech-from-the-throne.html https://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/throne-speech-2019-justin-trudeau-pours-on-the-restraint/https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2019/12/05/what-does-it-mean-the-throne-speech-interpreted.html https://ipolitics.ca/2019/12/05/in-throne-speech-liberals-recommit-to-pledges-on-climate-economy-and-reconciliation/ https://ipolitics.ca/2019/12/02/throne-speech-to-offer-canadians-a-preview-of-how-trudeau-will-govern/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/liberals-survive-first-confidence-vote-in-new-parliament-1.4724666 https://globalnews.ca/news/6294905/andrew-scheer-private-school-funds/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/scheer-s-resignation-sparks-questions-about-conservative-party-s-future-1.4729100 https://globalnews.ca/news/6292315/andrew-scheer-resigns/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/who-could-replace-andrew-scheer-as-conservative-leader-1.4727997 https://nationalpost.com/news/verbatim-andrew-scheers-resignation-announcement-in-the-house-of-commons https://nationalpost.com/news/here-are-some-possible-contenders-to-replace-andrew-scheer-as-conservative-leader https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-tecumseh-conservative-candidate-says-scheer-resignation-right-thing-1.5394656 https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/bvggaw/eleven-people-who-could-replace-andrew-scheer-as-the-next-conservative-leader https://www.tvo.org/article/why-andrew-scheer-had-no-choice-but-to-go
Young Fellow My Lad by Robert William Service, as read at Victory Square in Vancouver just a few moments ago. Read by the founder of Bard on the Beach, Christopher Gaze. Governor General Julie Payette is urging Canadians to never forget the sacrifices of veterans and the costs of war, in a touching video tribute released ahead of today's Remembrance Day ceremonies. Payette says many veterans returned to Canada wounded in their body and their soul -- while many did not return from the battlefield at all. She made the comments in an online video that was posted today. A group of junior Rangers flew to the remote B.C. ghost town on Anyox last month to ensure the fallen soldiers from the First World War buried in the now-abandoned mining town are not forgotten. Aaron McArthur reports on this initiative, to ensure that No Stone is Left Alone. We're preparing here on the west coast for the moment of silence at 11am. Out east, the Remembrance Day has been taking place in Ottawa. The wreaths have been laid, and now Canada continues to remember. Major General Guy Chapdelaine held prayers.
Loser NO LOSER TODAY! Winner Wynden and Stayton Danylowich from the Okanagan Two Okanagan brothers who helped rescue four people at risk of drowning six years ago were given medals of bravery this week.

On this edition of Counterpoint, Alex is joined by: John Mraz Former liberal war room director with several dozen elections worth of experience and Bill Hutchison Former broadcaster...longtime journalist...professor at Seneca Topics include: Does Toronto have anything unique that it can offer Kawhi Leonard? CSIS has identified foreign actors attempting to directly influence the upcoming federal election campaign, a Toronto Star and BuzzFeed News investigation has learned. CBC has been doing pre-election polling on a wide array of voter issues... and immigration is the latest poll which reveals Canadians are divided on immigration, with clear limits on the kind of migration they find acceptable. China has escalated its abuse against the two Canadians they have kidnapped and jailed. They've confiscated the glasses of Michael Kovrig. Yet another abuse in retaliation over Huawei exec Mung Wazou. China is openly mocking Justin Trudeau over his comments that he has lots of global support. He can't say for sure President Trump talked to China.. Then, we see a tweet from Liberal MP of small business and export. Mary Ng writes. “When in Beijing, you dropped by @COWSICECREAM – a true Cdn #smallbiz success story from #PrinceEdwardIsland!" Governor General Julie Payette won't be moving into Rideau Hall, the home and workplace of every viceregal going back to Confederation, because it's not private enough. Over the weekend in Portland there was yet another bloody confrontation between neo-nazi groups and antifa. This has been a pretty regular feature in the city in the last couple of years. But this weekend a Conservative reporter, Andy Ngo, whose beat is to cover these protests, was attacked and left with a brain bleed, ripped ear and burns from milkshakes thrown at him which were actually quick dry cement.
