Updated: Moncton Gunman Surrenders After Killing Three Mounties

Suspected Moncton NB gunman Justin Bourque
Justin Bourque works his evil
June 5, 2014 -- Parts of Moncton, New Brunswick were locked down following the shooting deaths on Wednesday night of three Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the wounding of two other officers, reports the CBC.  

Police were searching for gunman Justin Bourque, 24, armed and dangerous. Police tweeted a photo of him wearing military camouflage and carrying guns (left).

UPDATE: Bourque surrendered to police at early on the morning of Friday, just after midnight. The Daily Mail (UK) reports that Bourque gave himself up in the front yard of Moncton resident Michelle Thibodeau. 

"He was in my backyard. I saw him arrested in front of my eyes. He is alive," Thibodeau tweeted. "The swat team arrived at my house and unloaded and started screaming in my backyard for him to surrender and he did. I watched it happen," according the the Daily Mail. "They had him sprawled on my front lawn for some time and then loaded him into the swat vehicle. They are now checking my yard for firearms."

While Bourque was still at large, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police asked residents to stay inside and lock their doors, turn on porch lights to assist police, and to not broadcast police operations over social media such as Twitter or Facebook. Moncton has a population of just over 60,000.

January 29, 2014 - Pop singer Justin Bieber is in trouble up in Canada.

"Toronto police said in late December they were looking into allegations that a member of Bieber's entourage assaulted a limo driver who was driving the Canadian pop star and several others. Police said at the time that it was unclear whether Bieber was involved," reports ABC this evening.

CBC's John Lancaster tweeted this:
#JustinBieber surrender had been in works for a couple of days. Happening tonight. He will NOT be held for a bail hearing.  ~ @jlancasterCBC

On Camera: Deadly Fireworks Factory Explosion In Quebec

Viral Report YouTube Channel
June 21, 2013 - Two women died in a massive explosion on Thursday at a fireworks factory in the town of Coteau-du-Lac, located in southwestern Quebec, Canada (map). The explosion was caught on camera, and you can see videos below.

The B.E.M. fireworks plant and warehouse were completely destroyed by the fire and resulting blast. The cause of the fire is still not known. Authorities are still trying to determine why the fire started at B.E.M., which employed about two dozen people and has been in Coteau-du-Lac since 1970. There were no sprinklers in the building.

Two bodies were found in the still-smoldering ruins, reports the Montreal Gazette. "The initial explosion occurred shortly before 9 a.m., followed by smaller blasts and an intense fire that burned for three hours. Nearby residents were forced from their homes and a portion of Highway 20 west of Montreal was closed for hours." The Gazette also reports that "Fire Chief Stéphane Massicotte said a total of 14 fire departments responded to the call from as far away as Pincourt. There were 150 firefighters on the scene." In a later report, the Gazette identified the two killed in the inferno as Francine Lacroix, a 47-year-old resident of Riviere-Beaudette, and Nicole Brisson, 58, of Les Coteaux. Both women were B.E.M. employees.

In the video below, the explosion begins at 0:37

Video: Protesters Blame NRA for Sandy Hook Shooting

Dec. 18, 2012 - A few hundred anti-gun protesters milled about in front of the National Rifle Association's Federal Affairs Office in Washington DC yesterday. The group, CREDO Action, blames the NRA for the shooting rampage of mentally disturbed Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. These folks sound extraordinarily, well, stupid. But it's not their fault. They are, after all, stupid. Chanting "Shame on the NRA," many of these advocates of stricter gun laws would completely ban all U.S. citizens from owning any firearms. Language Advisory; Read more below the video...


Interviewer in the video is Dan Joseph (@DanJoseph78 on Twitter)

A statement on CREDO Action's website says, "After the shooter Adam Lanza, no one is more to blame for the massacre of 20 first graders and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School than the National Rifle Association. In order to stop the senseless killing we must first stop the NRA."

CREDO Action protesters at NRA office in Washington DC
CREDO Action at NRA office in Washington DC
This is mysterious to us at Chicago News Bench. None of the police reports related to the investigation of last week's shooting in Newtown, CT make any mention of the NRA. It would seem that blaming the NRA for the actions of the mentally unstable shooter, Adam Lanza, is the same as blaming the American Automobile Association (AAA) for traffic deaths. The CREDO Action website invites people to "talk to us," and they list their phone number as 800-555-7774.

The NRA has been virtually silent since last week's school shooting in Connecticut. However, Fox News reports that an NRA statement released late today "announced that it would hold a 'major' news conference on Friday. Issued by an aide to NRA President Wayne LaPierre, the statement also conveyed condolences for the murders and expressed the group's willingness to offer 'meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again'." (Whatever the hell that means.)

According to the Washington Free Beacon, CREDO is "a liberal activism group and 'America’s only progressive mobile phone company'." CREDO is was formed in part to counter the Tea Party Movement. "As previously reported by the Free Beacon, CREDO Action is an organizing front for CredoMobile, a San Francisco-based cellphone company that has donated more than $75 million to liberal causes since 1985."

"More than anyone else, the NRA is responsible for the more than 12,000 people murdered by guns every year in this country," said Josh Nelson, campaign manager for Credo Action. I wonder if Mr. Nelson is a member of AAA, and if the 30,000 traffic deaths every year bother him.

Finally, what would Nelson and his fellow CREDO cretins say to the news that Canada's homicide rates in rose seven percent Canada rise 7% in 2011, despite having had the lowest level of firearm deaths in nearly 50 years? The weapon of choice for killers in Canada is now knives or other blades. The CBC reported that  Statistics Canada, a federal data agency, said that "An increase in stabbings accounted for virtually the entire increase in homicides in 2011." One wonders, then, if CREDO is prepared to protest the cutlery industry if it and other extremist groups ever succeed in getting the Second Amendment revoked.

Canadian TV Uses Taxpayer Dollars For Racy Programming

Things have gotten sexier at the CBC
February 3, 2012 - The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is under fire for spending taxpayer money to put "soft"p*rn*graphic videos to post on the Internet.

(Note: It'a amusing that Google Adsense ads disappear when you're looking at this post. That why you'll see the words like "p*rn" and "p*rn*graph" - YOU know what it means, but the bots don't.)

"The French radio wing of the CBC is under fire for offering soft p*rn on a special website," reported Newstalk1010.

Children of any age are able to view the content. Although the CBC call the produced-in-France content "soft," it shows full n*dity and expl*c*t s*x acts. You can see a sample of the port, courtesy of The Edmonton Sun. (Watch at your own discretion, however, and don't say you were not warned.)

Apparently, things are either more interesting in Canada than I've long suspected they were, or they are indeed so boring that government bureaucrats feel compelled to spice things up with official p*rn*graphy.

The Toronto Sun newspaper's Brian Lilley wrote yesterday that "CBC’s French division has been posting a p*rn*graphic television show on one of their websites free for all to see. Let me be clear about something: The one thing the Internet does not need more of is p*rn. But some well-paid executive over at the state broadcaster not only disagreed and thought there needed to be more p*rn online, they used tax dollars, taken from your wallet, to pay for this."  At the center of the controversy is a show called "Hard."

Blogger "Blazing Cat Fur" posted this afternoon about this breaking scandal. 

"CBC filed copyright complaints against SunTV and myself," wrote BCF, "for this video clip taken from the Brian Lilley show that aired February 2nd. Spoilsports. The CBC didn't like the fact they got caught spending tax payer money on p*rn. CBC exec explains how they spend $1.1 billion in tax dollars every year." Blazing Cat Fur's video, above, shows CBC's Executive VP Kirstine Stewart trying to explain away the CBC-produced  p*rn by saying that they were "doing the best with what we have."

The CBC is fighting dirty with Blazing Cat Fur, as Vlad Tepes reports in his post "CBC bullies Canadian blogger and taxpayer, Blazing Cat Fur for posting video from SUN TV" today. (Big hat tip to my good friends at iOwnTheWorld.com, who were on this story like pasties on a stripper.)

On Thursday, reported Lilley, CBC said "that the show would stay on its website, but only be available in the wee hours. Consistent with its policies and programs to ensure that the Hard series is not seen by children, Radio-Canada made the decision to limit the broadcast between midnight and 4 a.m. (EST) today, CBC’s French division posted on their Facebook page."

Fortunately, not everybody in the Canadian federal government is amoral and corrupt. It would seem, however, that they are all completely insane.

Moore
Newstalk1010 reported that "Heritage Minister James Moore says he won't stand for it," and that "Moore says it raises serious concerns about some programming decisions being made with taxpayers' dollars by the CBC."

Minister Moore however, is under fire for remarks he has made about the CBC p*rn scandal. The Toronto Sun ran a scathing op-ed on February 2.

Here's an excerpt from that editorial:

"Moore must apologize publicly to QMI Media's Kris Sims for the low-blow insult to her integrity by calling her a 'pawn' to Quebecor Media CEO Pierre Karl Peladeau just for asking questions any competent journalist would ask, and should ask, when taxpayer money is involved. And, second, Prime Minister Stephen Harper must immediately remove Moore from his portfolio and replace him with someone who doesn't appear to be in bed with the taxpayer-funded state broadcaster."

Confused? Yes, me too, and apparently, so is everybody in Canada.

Canadian TV Commentator Slams Obama for Keystone Debacle

Canadian television commentator and columnist Ezra Levant laid into Barack Obama for his recent rejection of the Keystone Pipeline project.

Here is Levant's great rant, on video,  about what he calls Obama's "Keystone cop-out."

Levant also wrote about it in the Calgary Sun on January 21. His column had the great headline, "Obama chose conflict Venezuelan oil over ethical Canuck oil, and movie stars over working men, women."

Here is an excerpt:

U.S. President Barack Obama made a choice last week: He chose Venezuela over Canada. That's what he did when he rejected the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would have taken oilsands oil from Alberta to the Gulf Coast of Texas.

That pipeline would have delivered 700,000 barrels of oil every day from Canada (and from a new oilfield called Bakken that straddles the North Dakota-Saskatchewan border). Which is almost precisely the amount of oil Venezuela now ships to the United States, to those same refineries in Texas. With one fell swoop, Obama could have replaced conflict oil, from a belligerent, authoritarian OPEC regime, with ethical oil from Canada. But he didn't.  More at the Calgary Sun...

You can also read more at Levant's blog, which is cleverly called "Ezra Levant."

Hillary Clinton, Iran, and a Canadian Cannon

Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration are made to look like cowardly fools in the video below. In that video, the first three minutes contain an excellent report from the streets of Tehran, where hundreds of thousands of people continue to demonstrate in the streets against "alleged" national voter fraud in the June 12 presidential election. The best part, however, is the press conference at 3:00 minutes into the video, in which U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says, "We, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide. The United States has refrained from commenting on the election in Iran." It was a cowardly statement by Clinton, in which she avoided taking any stand for justice and democracy, or to even try to send a message of hope to the people of Iran - or any warning to the dictators in power. Then, the coup de grace from Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, Lawrence Cannon, whose statement showed us that Hillary is a coward who was either lying or is completely ignorant of diplomatic efforts by other nations, including Canada, our next door neighbor and one of our very best allies. "Canada's deeply concerned by reports of voting irregularities in the Iranian election," Cannon said. "We're troubled by reports of intimidation of opposition candidates' offices by security forces. We've tasked our embassy officials in Tehran to closely monitor the situation, and Canada's calling on Iranian authorities to conduct fair and transparent counting of all ballots." The comparison of these two statements, by Clinton and Cannon, is stark. Cannon's statement made Clinton look like a fool. Whereas Clinton said that "We, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide," Cannon showed neatly that such is not the case. Rather, as Cannon pointed out, Canada was not merely waiting and watching, but also actively urging action by the Iranian authorities. His subtle, diplomatic message was clear and aimed squarely at the Iranian authorities by, in effect, demanding that they straighten out the election results and show satisfactory proof that the results were fair. Whereas Clinton said that "The United States has refrained from commenting on the election in Iran," Cannon went on to make some very strong statements on behalf of Canada. By saying that Canada is "troubled by reports of intimidation of opposition candidates' offices by security forces," Cannon effectively said that Canada believes something unsavory happened in the handling of ballots in last Friday's election. Probably without meaning to, Cannon showed the world how cowardly, ignorant and afraid to offend the Iranian dictatorship the Obama Administration truly is. See Comments...

Big Marijuana Website Links to Chicago News Bench

Yesterday, Marathon Pundit received an email from a major Canadian marijuana website. It was actually intended for me, but was sent to the wrong address. MP kindly forwarded my way. Turns out it's a form letter sent to other websites, but I thought we'd have some fun with it. First, the email from doper "Mark Thompson," then my reply. From: Mark Thompson [rollitup.org] Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2009 06:15:20 -0700 To: [Marathon Pundit] Subject: Your Marijuana Site Hello, Recently I visited your website http://rogersparkbench.blogspot.com;while visiting your site I noticed that you link to http://www.nationalreview.com at this address: http://rogersparkbench.blogspot.com/. As we are closely related to them, I would love to exchange links with your website, currently there are about 5,000 - 7,000 people per day that goto my site and search for information, Therefore I would to link to an excellent site like yours. I have taken the liberty of adding your site to my home page: http://www.rollitup.org to determine if it is of any benefit to you, if you have a stats program you can check it and let me know. By looking at my stats, it looks like today I have sent you 10 visitors but it may change by the time you receive this email. Some website owners do not like when other sites link to them so I thought I might ask first. I think the information on your website could be useful to my visitors; and maybe you could receive some extra relevant traffic if you want. Please get back to me when you have a chance to let me know if its ok to link to your website like this. Have a good week, Mark Thompson email: mark.thompson@rollitup.org website: http://www.rollitup.org This email was sent to [Marathon Pundit], by mark.thompson@rollitup.org 136 Hidden Crescent Green - Calgary - Alberta - Canada --- MY REPLY --- Dear Mr. Thompson, Your marijuana activities seem to have affected your ability to think clearly. For some bizarre reason, you seem to think that linking to my conservative blog makes sense on your dope promoting Canadian website, "rollitup," "the marijuana source." By the way, you sent your note, intended for me apparently, to another blogger. Fortunately, that blogger, Marathon Pundit, forwarded it to me. I am grateful for that, as it provided me with many hearty chuckles and an amusing post. (Marathon Pundit is a conservative blog, too, so it's doubly mysterious why you would send such a note to either of us.) In your dope-addled mind, you seem to believe that your marijuana website is "closely related" to the conservative National Review. You couldn't be more wrong, Mr. Thompson. I doubt very much that they are in any way connected to, or approve of, your stoner website. Your drug-induced confusion gets progressively worse as your note continues. In your second paragraph, you state that you have already added my site to your home page (http://www.rollitup.org). Yet, your third paragraph begins with "Some website owners do not like when other sites link to them so I thought I might ask first." Huh? You already took the liberty to add my link, but you thought you'd ask first? Really, Mr. Thompson, how much dope did you smoke prior to writing your confused note to me at an incorrect email address? For some reason, you felt it necessary to explain your linkage to "Rogersparkbench." Note that the correct name is "Chicago News Bench." You stated you added a link to my site "to determine if it is of any benefit" to me. The answer to that ("duh, yes") is obvious to anybody not sucking a bong. One wonders why you would care about my stats. You go on to say, "if you have a stats program you can check it and let me know. By looking at my stats, it looks like today I have sent you 10 visitors but it may change by the time you receive this email." Uh, yah, I do have a stats program and it shows that you sent me zero visitors on March 14 and none so far today. You may need a new stats program, sir. Or, perhaps, you need to stop smoking so much dope that you cannot read your own stats correctly. You end your intoxicated email with "Please get back to me when you have a chance to let me know if its ok to link to your website like this." Well, sure, Mr. Thompson, it's okay. I'll take hits where I can get them, but as I noted above, you've already linked to me, just above "Hydroponics," "BC Marijuana Party" and "NORML." I personally find your website to be disgusting. Don't take that personally, but do know that I will not link to your semicomatose website, Mr. Thompson. I urge you get help. Just say no, Tom RELATED: ~ Yikes! ~ UP IN SMOKE?

Ministere Des Affaires Internationales Du Quebec

Big howdy (bonjour!) to Pierre Arcand, Minister of International Relations and Minister responsible for La Francophonie up in Quebec. Francophonicized, that's "Ministere Des Affaires Internationales Du Quebec." Excuse moi, Monsieur Arcand, but why does your agency monitor Chicago News Bench so faithfully? Pourquoi surveillez-vous mon site Web? Mind you, I'm not complaining. I appreciate you as a reader, but I am curious as to why you, or someone in your ministry, spends so much time nearly every day combing through this humble blog site. Aucune offense. Je suis seulement d'un ton interrogateur. Perhaps I'll stroll into your Chicago delegation at 444 N. Michigan Avenue Suite 1900 and say hello one day soon and ask them. Shouldn't you folks be spending more time working on international relations and francophonie stuff? Take your press release from January 26, for example: MONTREAL, 26 Janv. /CNW Telbec/- The Minister for the Relations international and minister responsible for the Francophonie, Mr. Pierre Arcand, the new general consul of the Federation of Russia met today with Montreal, Mr. Alexey V. Isakov. The meeting related to the exchanges between Quebec and Russia and possibilities of development of those, in particular in the cultural and educational fields. (Bad translation by BabelFish; Full release in French!) That's important stuff there, sir. Meeting with a Russian official as though Quebec is a real country. I am honored that your ministry considers Chicago News Bench worthy of your time and attention. But don't let me distract you from matters of state. Merci beaucoup! CNB RSS Feed

Canadian Liberals In Disarray

The Bench front page... Go figure. Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a Conservative, effectively staged a coup by dissolving Parliament. That should have rallied the Liberals, but no. The Liberals are eating their own now, in a cannibalistic frenzy to straighten things up. Jeffrey Jones reports from Toronto: Members of Stephane Dion's Liberal Party and editorials called for his quick ouster after Prime Minister Stephen Harper won a rare suspension of Parliament, allowing his Conservative government to avoid being defeated in a confidence vote. Concerns about Dion's ability to keep leading the Liberals -- and the multiparty coalition formed to defeat the Harper government over its response to the economic crisis -- intensified as Canadians gathered at raucous rallies across the country Saturday in support of both sides in the battle.

Behind the Maple Curtain

The Bench front page... "A royal appointee shutting down Parliament; national cross-country protests; bloodthirsty accusations of treason and sedition. All the frictions of a new democracy. I hope they work it out in Thailand! No, welcome to Canadian politics in 2008." So writes Karim Bardeesy in "Chaos in Canada" in Slate Magazine. Canada is a nation so dysfuncitional that it effectively divided itself in the name of linguistic diversity ("To many Canadians, the bloc is like the pervy uncle at the family Christmas dinner—he's full of strange ideas, but he keeps getting gifts and a return invitation," writes Bardeesy). The Great White North is in a frenzy today about the "coup" pulled off by Prime Minister Harper late last week. RELATED: About That Canadian Coup…

CANADA VEERS INTO TOTALITARIANISM

The Bench front page... Dear Canada, For eight years now, many of you have been calling US President George W. Bush a fascist, a dictator and a Nazi. Many of my fellow Americans have also called him that. But on Thursday of this week, your own Prime Minister showed his true totalitarian tendencies. I ask you, Canada: Who is more the dictator? Bush, who never suspended Congress or any elections despite the fears of many paranoids, or your own Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who essentially dissolved your government?
RIGHT: Prime Minister Harper stands tall amongst slaughtered Members of the Canadian Parliament this morning.
Harper's suspension of your parliament for purely political reasons seems downright Medieval to many of us in the Lower 48. Even so, I shall not call Mr. Harper a fascist, a dictator or a Nazi. He's doing a good enough job of applying those labels to himself without any unnecessary name calling by others. I will, however, accurately call him a totalitarian. Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper won a rare suspension of parliament last night, managing to avoid being ousted by opposition parties angry over the minority Conservative government's economic plans and an attempt to cut off party financing. Governor general Michaelle Jean - the representative of Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state - agreed to Mr Harper's request to shut down parliament until January 26th. Parliament was reconvened just weeks ago after the October 14th election. Mr Harper's request for suspension was unprecedented. No prime minister had asked for parliament to be suspended to avoid a confidence vote in the House of Commons. Full Story at Irish Times... Can suspension of elections be far off? Canadians, will you just sit on your arses and let Harper get away with this? We in the United States have long looked to your quiet little nation as a model of democracy and beacon of hope, ever since Canada was founded by people fleeing the fight for democracy down here (you know, back in the late 1700's). Since then we haven't paid you much attention. Now, however, with a seemingly power mad politico in charge, we might have to aim our radar a bit lower. History teaches us what happens when we don't pay enough attention to - I'm going to say it - dictators. Canada, your little dictator is just across the border from us. That makes us a bit nervous.

CANADA: CONSERVATIVES GAIN BIG, LIBERALS LOSE BIG

A big Conservative victory in Canada: Seems our neighbors to the north have less faith in unbridled socialism than we thought - or less than they used to. Or both. Canadians voted with their frontal lobes, not their aortas. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the first Western leader to face the electorate since the financial meltdown, won a strengthened second minority government mandate on Tuesday, provisional results showed. Source: Dawn News The best part: Harper is - gasp! - a Conservative! The Conservatives, who convinced voters they were the best choice to steer Canada through the economic turmoil, will still need opposition support to govern. Dawn News notes that the election was "the worst showing in at least 20 years for the Liberals, who have historically governed Canada for longer than any other party." Now, that's real change folks, getting away from the tired old same old socialism. The Conservative leader ran on a modest platform of keeping taxes and spending under control. The Liberals proposed introducing a carbon tax while cutting income taxes and boosting social spending, and Harper said the Liberal plan would throw Canada into recession. This will undoubtedly be unsettling news for liberals, Democrats and unrepentant domestic terrorists in the U.S., where socialist Barack Obama's plan of taxing the crap out of everything will throw the United States - and therefore the world - into depression.

Canada: Conservatives Gaining in Election

There's a big national election in Canada, our big northern neighbor, on October 14. With Palin adding huge momentum to McCain's campaign in the US, it is interesting to see that conservatives in Canada are also picking up steam. Conservatives continued to gain ground in the first few days of the election campaign, with a significant lead in public support, according to a newly released poll Thursday. STORY at CBC News...
