A Toronto police sergeant compromised an investigation when he removed fentanyl that he planned to consume from a storage locker, according to documents released to Ricochet.

Sergeant Mark Kennedy’s alleged decision to remove the drugs without authorization, and steps the Toronto Police Service says he took to conceal his actions, are outlined in documents listing nine counts of professional misconduct under the Police Services Act. He is suspended with pay.

The charges are the latest in a recent series of allegations of illegal drug use, drug possession, and evidence theft against several local cops. Officer misconduct has impacted several criminal cases and raised questions about the integrity of prosecutions and the police service’s handling of dangerous drugs.

The only upside that I can see is that Canadians will have a year to see what a trump style government can do to a country.. Also a trump style government is the same as a poilievre government.

Katarzyna Calow-Jaszewska revealed late last month that four people had been arrested and authorities across Europe were investigating the incidents.

Western security officials have now told US media they believe the fires - which happened in July - were part of an orchestrated campaign by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU.

Russia denies being behind acts of sabotage. But it is suspected to have been behind other attacks on warehouses and railway networks in EU member states this year, including in Sweden and in the Czech Republic.

Ms Calow-Jaszewska said in a statement that a group of foreign intelligence saboteurs had been involved in sending parcels containing hidden explosives and dangerous materials via courier companies. The parcels then spontaneously burst into flames or blew up.

Western officials believe the fires originated in electric massage machines containing a "magnesium-based" substance.

Magnesium-based fires are hard to put out, especially on board a plane.

Albanese said she was "in shock" when she learned Quebec had opened a trade office in Tel Aviv in June, even as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continued to rage and tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians had been killed.

"Silence, or worse, the justification on the part of a small, but influential number of states, continued to allow and nurture the arrogance that is at the origins of Israeli behaviour today, as we talk," she said.

"It is extremely troubling to see countries which are members of the United Nations pontificate, call into question and cloud the meaning of international law and dehumanizing the victims of these past 12 months."

The Liberal government has been under intense pressure from the U.S. to boost defence spending. Last year, the Liberals announced more than $30 billion in new projects, with much of that going to U.S. firms.
