Good morning.

It’s WEF week: the most entertaining time (politically) of non-election years.

The World Economic Forum has never motivated Canadian voters more than it does today, due largely to Rebel News reporters ambushing Justin Trudeau on the sidewalks of Davos every January.

Speaking of which, Justin and Ezra Levant shared a warm moment during this year’s walk-and-talk, which featured a sullen Katy Perry doing her best to keep up with her long-legged boyf.

10/10 television.

But somehow this chopped Brit I’d never heard of found a way to top Ezra’s scrum in a 5-minute video where Trudeau says hardly anything.

The highlights are when they pass a man carrying a cross on wheels up the sidewalk and when the Brit asks Trudeau a question beginning with, “My old cameraman’s mother…”

Oh yeah, and then Carney uttered the words “hegemon” and/or “hegemony” over 4.5 times in his Davos speech, which returned a handsome $20 on Polymarket for our newsroom.

But enough on Davos. Let’s see what’s happening inside the country this week. 👇️

Enjoy.

A 19-year-old woman from Vancouver Island was found dead Monday on an Australian beach. 

Her body was surrounded by a pack of dingoes. 

“We simply can't confirm whether this young lady drowned or died as a result of being attacked by dingoes,” said Queensland Police Inspector Paul Algie, who noted there were marks on her body “consistent with having been touched and interfered with by the dingoes.” 

Piper James, of Campbell River, B.C., was found dead on a beach on the east-coast island of K’gari (formerly called Fraser Island) on Jan. 19 around 6:30 AM—just over an hour after telling her father, Todd, that she was going for a swim. 

Police said there were “approximately 10 dingoes” around her body when they found it. 

“It was obviously a very traumatic and horrific scene,” Algie said. 

Dingoes are a protected species on K'gari. In December, the Australian government posted an advisory effective through January warning of "heightened dingo activity" along K'gari Eastern Beach. 

Piper had been working at a nearby backpacker's hostel for six weeks before her death. 

Her father said the cops told him she likely died in one of three ways: she drowned and the dingoes attacked her dead body; the dingoes chased her into the water and she drowned; or dingoes killed her on the beach. 

“We know she would have fought so hard,” Todd told CBC, calling her a “little powerhouse.” 

Piper travelled to Australia on money she earned fighting wildfires in British Columbia last summer. According to Todd, her supervisor at the time was “surprised by her strength” given her age and the fact that she was only 5’5. 

The B.C. Wildfire Service says it’s offering Todd and his wife any “support and resources they need.”

Three Calgary teenagers face assault and mischief charges after allegedly chasing down strangers in cars last week and smashing their windows with baseball bats and pellet guns. 

Their rampage began around noon on Monday, Jan. 12, when they pulled up alongside a Mercedes-Benz in a grey beater and “fired multiple pellet rounds… shattering several windows and causing extensive damage,” according to police. 

Later that day, a woman called 9-1-1 to say a rock had been thrown through her vehicle’s driver-side window and that there were pellet-sized holes in two front windows of her home. 

The chaos continued at noon the next day when the boys—this time driving a white Audi SUV—pulled up alongside a moving car and allegedly smashed both its passenger‑side windows with a baseball bat. One of the teens also reportedly pointed “what appeared to be a handgun” at the driver before they took off.

Later that afternoon, six teens exited a white Audi Q7 in Coventry Hills and allegedly smashed the front windows of a house using bats and pellet guns.

Around 4 PM the same day, the boys pulled up in front a house in Beddington Heights–-this time driving an “older‑model beige four‑door sedan.” The driver and rear passenger allegedly fired semi‑automatic pellet guns at a home’s front window before peeling away.

Just after midnight, 11 pellets were fired through the windows of another home nearby.

Their reign of terror continued on Wednesday evening when they harassed a couple driving northbound on Deerfoot Trail.

Driving the old beige sedan again, the boys pulled up “aggressively” beside the couple before allegedly firing two pellet rounds and smashing the couple’s passenger‑side windows. The couple later found a brass pellet in their car.

An hour later two of the teens approached a car parked outside a 7‑Eleven, flashing what appeared to be guns before taking off in the beige sedan. When the car left the 7-Eleven, the teens allegedly pursued and fired multiple rounds at it as they drove through the area. No injuries were reported.

The cops arrested three 17-year-olds the following day. They are due in court in late February to answer to mischief, assault, and weapons charges.

Their names cannot be released under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

A Guelph woman lost nearly $5,000 after scammers tricked her into giving her bank cards to an Uber driver working as a courier.

The scam began Thursday night when a caller pretending to be from a bank's fraud department contacted the woman to report fake transactions on her account.

The caller told the woman to cut her debit and credit cards in half and promised a courier would come to collect them.

A short time later, an Uber driver arrived at the woman's home and picked up an envelope containing the card pieces.

The driver later told police he was simply fulfilling a courier order to deliver a package from Guelph to a parking lot in Toronto. When he reached Toronto, a man met him and took the envelope.

Thieves used the cards shortly after to withdraw $2,480 in cash and spend more than $2,300 on unauthorized purchases.

Guelph Police say the investigation is ongoing and are warning people to be cautious of any phone calls, emails, or texts that demand immediate action.
