Red Deer RCMP arrest impaired driver after collision Wednesday

Published

3 minute read

Red Deer, Alberta – Red Deer RCMP arrested a man for impaired driving yesterday afternoon after the black Chrysler sedan he was driving crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a white Subaru SUV near the intersection of Gaetz Avenue and Highway 11A.

RCMP were called to the collision scene at 4:35 pm Wednesday in response to several 911 calls from citizens. When police arrived, the suspect driver was being detained by citizens who witnessed the collision. RCMP took him into custody and Red Deer Emergency Services attended to check the suspect and victim for injuries; fortunately, no one was injured in the collision. Red Deer RCMP thank those involved citizens for their assistance at the time of collision and for their continuing cooperation while police investigated the incident.

A 43 year old man faces charges of impaired driving, resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance. Red Deer RCMP will issue an update with more information once those charges are sworn before the courts.

The warmer weather brings with it an increased focus by Red Deer RCMP on impaired driving. Over the weekend of May 4 through 6, Red Deer RCMP charged six impaired drivers, issued one 24 hour roadside suspension, and issued a second roadside suspension to the holder of a Graduated Driver’s License, who is prohibited from consuming any amount of alcohol before driving. The arrests were made through roving check stops and patrols by the Red Deer RCMP Traffic Unit.

During these impaired checks, RCMP also laid a charge of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, and charged a speeder for driving 102 km/ hour in a 50 km zone, which resulted in a mandatory court appearance for that driver.

Red Deer RCMP will continue their focus on getting impaired drivers off the roads throughout the spring and summer, with roving check stops and patrols in marked and unmarked police vehicles. In our commitment to getting impaired drivers off the road, RCMP assign extra officers to target impaired drivers at peak times such as long weekends. Our message is clear: make the right choice, because if you drive impaired, you’re going to get caught.

Red Deer RCMP thank the community for continuing to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1 when it’s safe to do so with a license plate, a description of the vehicle and the driver, and the direction of travel.

Conservative MP appeals to Canadians to support bill protecting churches from arson

Published on

St. Gabriel Catholic Mission in northern Alberta was burned to the ground

Jamil Jivani called church burnings an attack on religious freedom and said Bill C 4-11 would increase the penalty for crimes of arson by adding the targeting of churches as an aggravating factor in sentencing for these acts of destruction.

A Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP urged support from his political opponents for a bill that would give stiffer penalties to arsonists caught burning churches down.

“This is a very serious issue. It is not just an attack on churches as buildings, it’s an attack on communities, on families and an attack on religious freedom in Canada,” CPC MP Jamil Jivani said in an X video post on October 2.

“We need to see action, we need the other political parties to realize that this is a serious problem. We need support behind Bill C -411, and we need to do more to protect churches in Canada.”

In the span of less than one week, as reported by LifeSiteNews, two more Christian churches were reduced to ash piles, one Catholic and the other Anglican.

Jivani called out the fires as attacks on freedom, saying the “pattern of destruction that we have observed of church after church after church being burned to the ground in Canada” must stop.

“Why isn’t the government doing anything about this problem?” he asked. “Well, let me tell you, conservatives have put forward legislation on this issue. Bill C 4-11 would increase the penalty for crimes of arson against churches by adding the targeting of churches as an aggravating factor in sentencing for arson crimes.”

Jivani observed that Conservatives have not seen “other political parties support this Bill C-411.”

“The Liberals, the NDP, the Bloc, all of them continue to be silent on this problem. This pattern of destruction we have not seen the other political party support our legislation, Bill C-411, and they’re not even offering their own legislation,” he said.

“We need support behind Bill C-411, and we need to do more to protect churches in Canada.”

The law, if passed, would create specific criminal offenses for setting fires to churches and for starting wildfires.

Under the new legislation, arson that directly target churches or other places of worship would be punishable by “imprisonment for a term of not more than 14 years and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of five years” for the first offense.

“For each subsequent offence, imprisonment for life and to a minimum punishment for a term of seven years,” the legislation stated.

The legislation also outlines consequences for starting wildfires of fines up to $250,000 and life imprisonment.

Since the spring of 2021, 112 churches, most of them Catholic, have been burned to the ground, vandalized or defiled in Canada.

The church burnings started after the mainstream media and the federal government ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some of the now-closed residential schools in Canada.

LifeSiteNews reported last week that Leah Gazan, backbencher MP from the socialist New Democratic Party (NDP), brought forth a bill that seeks to criminalize the denial of the unproven claim that the residential school system once operating in Canada was a “genocide.”

As reported by LifeSiteNews in August, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet said it will expand a multimillion-dollar fund geared toward documenting thus far unfounded claims that hundreds of young children died and were clandestinely buried at the residential schools.

Canada’s Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations confirmed it spent millions searching for “unmarked graves” at a residential school but turned up no human remains.

Canadian indigenous residential schools were run by the Catholic Church and other Christian churches but were mandated and set up by the federal government. They were open from the late 19th century until the last school closed in 1996.

While there were indeed some Catholics who committed serious abuses against native children, the unproved “mass graves” narrative has led to widespread anti-Catholic sentiment since 2021.

Bukele Defends El Salvador’s Gang Reforms

Published on

From Armstrong Economics 

By Martin Armstrong

The United Nations would like the world to adhere to its lax crime laws. Generate civil unrest to destabilize nations to create a need for order, a New World Order, that will be more powerful and effective than the government. El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele began an anti-gang crusade when he entered office. Affiliated with a gang? Straight to prison.

Now, the self-proclaimed humanitarians at the Untied Nations called Bukele’s crusade extreme and demanded that he loosen his laws. “Some say that we have imprisoned thousands, but the reality is that we have freed millions. Now it is the good guys who live free, without fear, with their freedoms and human rights fully respected,” Bukele said to the counsel.

Over 82,000 gang members were arrested. Sadly, those who were not arrested fled to open border nations like the United States where they will not be deported because they are seeking asylum for their crimes. Donald Trump accurately said that declining crime in South America directly correlated to the rising crime we see in the United States.

But, it is the duty of each leader to put his or her country first. “We made our nation that was the homicide capital of the world, the safest country in the entire Western Hemisphere . It was the greatest challenge that our nation has overcome,” he added. The governor affirmed that El Salvador used to be the “most violent country in the world without war or the country of the maras” (gangs), but this changed with his crusade.” The president proudly noted that he has returned the streets of El Salvador back to the people.

Again, El Salvador cannot prevent the exodus of criminals from its border that are surging into the United States. Bukele would have had those criminals imprisoned, but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have openly welcomed into America. The blatant corruption has been noted by everyone.

“In El Salvador we do not imprison our opposition, we do not censor opinions, we do not confiscate property of those who think differently, we do not arrest people for their expressing ideas,” the president said as a direct criticism to the Build Back Better nations that are openly silencing and arresting any politician who dares speak out against the Great Reset and New World Order agendas.

The nations with leaders brave enough to go against the global cabal are excelling. We cannot be angered by leaders who uphold the integrity of their office and put their own people and domestic policy first and foremost.
