As thousands of free speech advocates prepare for Tommy Robinson’s May 16 rally in London, the controversy has gone international.

A senior citizen is in hospital in critical condition and two Vancouver police officers were injured after a vehicle-ramming incident in Vancouver’s West End on Friday morning.
A male suspect, who has not been named, allegedly rammed into several vehicles, sped through a section of Nelson Park, and intentionally drove along a sidewalk, according to a statement by the Vancouver Police Department.
Police said they received a report at 5:30 a.m. on May 15 about a man driving erratically in the area of Comox and Broughton streets. The driver was allegedly hitting several objects along the streets and in the dog park area of Nelson Park.
Witnesses told police they had to scramble to get out of the way of the suspect’s vehicle, the statement said, adding that a senior riding a motorized scooter was struck when he was unable to evade the vehicle in time.
The vehicle, which appears to be a dark-colored SUV in photos provided by police, came to a stop when it struck a police cruiser and flipped onto its side. In the photos, the front of the police cruiser can be seen heavily damaged with its hood crumpled.
Police say the suspect was trapped inside his vehicle and had to be freed by Vancouver Fire Rescue Services. Continue…

U.S. authorities on Friday detailed charges against a commander of an Iran-backed Iraqi militia who was allegedly involved in plotting terrorism against Jewish people in Europe, Canada and the United States.
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, is said to have directed and urged others to attack U.S. and Israeli interests, and to kill Americans and Jews, in retaliation for the war against Iran.
He was identified as a senior figure in Kataeb Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Islamic Republic has in the past been accused of seeking to orchestrate terrorist incidents, and several have occurred since U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began in late February.
According to U.S. court filings, Al-Saadi and unidentified associates planned, coordinated and claimed responsibility for at least 18 terrorist attacks in Europe, and two in Canada. Continue…

‘We’ve never seen a situation like this before’: Nurses says Ontario health-care system at breaking point
https://nationalpost.com/news/ontario-health-care-system-breaking-point-nurses/wcm/b8e6651a-a3ac-47b1-a03d-ca2a58d357fa
Every year, nurses, nurse practitioners and politicians gather for conversation over coffee and breakfast. This year’s “Breakfast with Politicians” was different.
“Morale is at an all-time low,” said Tracy Saldivia-Oda, a communications representative for the Ottawa region of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario.
“It’s at the height of tension, and we’re in very serious disagreements. Hundreds of nurses in the Ottawa area were just laid off,” she said.
The tension she’s referring to is, in part, between registered nurses and the Ontario government, which continues to change funding for hospitals, resulting in workforce cuts.
In April, The Ottawa Hospital announced it would cut about 400 workers. Most of them would be nurses.
“If anyone says there are lots of nursing jobs in Ottawa — there are not,” Saldivia-Oda said. Continue…
