She was arrested over an $89 restaurant bill. Eleven months later, her skeletal remains were found in a remote Malibu canyon. Her name was Mitrice Richardson. On September 16, 2009, the 24-year-old Cal State Fullerton graduate went to Geoffrey’s restaurant in Malibu. She couldn't pay her $89 dinner bill. Restaurant employees also reported that she was behaving strangely and making unusual statements. Sheriff's deputies were called, and Richardson was arrested on suspicion of failing to pay the bill and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. Her car was impounded. Her purse, cellphone and other belongings were left inside it. Then, shortly after midnight on September 17, Richardson was released from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station. She had no car. No cellphone. No wallet. No money. Her mother had actually called the station after learning of the arrest and offered to drive through the night to pick her daughter up. According to later reporting, that information was not passed to the watch commander. Richardson was offered the opportunity to remain at the station voluntarily until morning. She left. About six hours later, a homeowner in Monte Nido reported seeing a woman matching Richardson's description in his backyard. She told him she was "resting." It was the last confirmed sighting of her. Then she disappeared. For almost a year, investigators searched Malibu Canyon and surrounding areas. On August 9, 2010, park rangers discovered human remains in a remote area of Dark Canyon. They were identified as Mitrice Richardson. She had been missing for nearly 11 months. And that's where the case becomes even more complicated. The Los Angeles County coroner could not determine how Richardson died. Sheriff's officials said they found no evidence establishing homicide and did not believe foul play had been proven. But the case was never resolved as a natural or accidental death either. Her cause and manner of death remain undetermined. Her family questioned how she could have been released into the night without her belongings, particularly given the behavior witnesses had described before her arrest. There were also serious questions about the handling of her remains after they were discovered. Coroner's officials said deputies had moved portions of the remains without permission, potentially compromising the examination. In 2011, Richardson's family reached a $900,000 settlement with Los Angeles County over claims involving negligence and civil-rights violations connected to the handling of her case. Then, in 2017, the California Attorney General's investigation concluded that there wasn't enough evidence to bring criminal charges against the sheriff's deputies over Richardson's disappearance and death. So officially, no one was criminally charged in connection with Mitrice Richardson's death. But the questions surrounding her final hours have never completely disappeared. A young woman was taken into custody after an $89 dinner bill. She walked out of a sheriff's station in the middle of the night without her car, phone or wallet. Eleven months later, her remains were found in a remote canyon. And more than a decade later, authorities still cannot say exactly how she died. Her name was Mitrice richardson

 

I don't know how many people will agree with me, but I'm sick to death of the constant separation talk hanging over Canada. And you know why? Because I don't believe separation is ever actually going to happen. What it is doing, however, is dominating headlines, creating political uncertainty, and contributing to investment insecurity at a time when Canada can least afford it. 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙘, 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚. Data from Statistics Canada shows that the federal government has historically spent roughly $27 billion more in Quebec than it collects from the province in taxes. That money helps fund programs and services that Quebecers currently benefit from through the federal government. An independent Quebec would have to assume responsibility for those federal responsibilities itself, including the military, federal policing, border services, and old-age pensions. That would create a substantial fiscal hole that would have to be filled somehow. The choices would be difficult: significantly higher taxes, major spending cuts, or some combination of both. 𝘼𝙡𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙖 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨. An independent Alberta would suddenly have to build and maintain many of the institutions that Canadians take for granted. Meeting international defence commitments, for example, could require Alberta to spend nearly $10 billion a year on its military alone, potentially wiping out a significant portion of the fiscal surplus it currently claims it could reclaim from Ottawa. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮. A sovereign Alberta would be completely surrounded by Canada and the United States. It would have no direct access to international waters of its own, meaning its ability to export its most important resource, oil and gas, would depend heavily on the cooperation of its neighbours. That is a tremendous amount of geopolitical leverage to hand to the very countries you would suddenly need to negotiate with. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙙𝙚𝙗𝙩. Canada currently carries roughly $1.2 trillion in national debt. An independent Quebec would almost certainly have to assume a significant share of that debt, potentially around 22%, or more than $260 billion. Alberta would face a smaller share based on population, but it would still have to negotiate the division of Canada's assets and liabilities, including complicated questions surrounding the Canada Pension Plan. Those negotiations would not be simple. Neither would trade. Both Quebec and Alberta would have to establish new international trade relationships as independent countries. They would need to negotiate their positions with organizations such as the WTO and work out a new relationship with the United States under the USMCA. And let's be honest about who would have the stronger negotiating position. It wouldn't be Alberta. It wouldn't be Quebec. It would be the United States. Washington would have enormous leverage in those negotiations. Quebec could face pressure over dairy supply management, while Alberta could face pressure over energy pricing, environmental standards, and market access. Independence doesn't eliminate economic dependence. It simply changes who you depend on. And then there is the biggest obstacle of all: the Canadian Constitution. A province cannot simply wake up one morning and declare itself an independent country. Following the Supreme Court of Canada's Secession Reference, separation would require a clear democratic mandate followed by complex negotiations involving the federal government and the other provinces. Those negotiations could take years. And during those years, businesses and investors would be left wondering what Canada's borders, tax system, currency arrangements, trade agreements, debt obligations, and regulatory systems would ultimately look like. That kind of uncertainty has consequences. Support for separation currently sits at roughly 30% in both Quebec and Alberta. That means roughly 70% are not on board. So what exactly are we accomplishing by constantly tolerating this rhetoric? We are creating uncertainty around something that, realistically, is extraordinarily difficult to achieve. I'm not saying Quebec or Alberta shouldn't be allowed to express their grievances. They absolutely should. Provinces should be able to demand a better deal from Ottawa, challenge federal policies, and fight for greater autonomy. But there is a difference between demanding change and threatening to walk away. I don't believe that one province should be able to tear apart a country that belongs to all of us — a country that generations of Canadians have built together. And I can't help but wonder: what province is next? If separation becomes a political tool for leveraging concessions from the federal government, what's to stop another province from using the same tactic? At some point, we have to ask whether constantly threatening to leave is actually a sustainable way to govern a country.

BREAKING🚨 Trump's government paid Rwanda $7.5 million to take 7 people. That is over $1 million a A PERSON to dump deportees in a country that isn't even theirs. The deportation network now reaches at least 14 African nations, and many of the people shipped there in shackles had U.S. court protection from torture. Between January 2025 and August 2026, the U.S. sent more than 500 people to African countries where they aren't citizens. That comes from ICE's own data, analyzed in a Human Rights Watch report released today. Worldwide, nearly 28,000 people have been sent to more than 50 countries that aren't their own. Many of them had already won protection from a U.S. immigration judge because they would likely be tortured or persecuted at home. ICE arrested them at routine check-ins. One woman was taken into custody while her five-year-old daughter was with her. She was deported to Cameroon. Tesfay T. is a 35-year-old Ethiopian who was tortured in his home country. He refused to sign his deportation papers. He says the ICE agent told him, "I don't care, I'm going to sign it myself." His hands, waist and legs stayed chained for the whole flight, even when he used the bathroom. He found out where he was going when he landed in Cameroon. An unnamed U.S. official told Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff why places like Eswatini were picked: "The point is to scare people." DHS calls these removals "an essential public safety tool" for getting rid of "the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens." Yet 16 of the first 17 people sent to Cameroon had U.S. court orders blocking their return home. Senate Democrats found more than $32 million went to five foreign governments. Rwanda got $7.5 million and took seven people, which works out to about $1.1 million each. Equatorial Guinea's $7.5 million was more than all U.S. aid to that country over the previous eight years combined. People sent there were kept in a hotel under armed guard. At least a dozen LGBT people were sent to African countries that criminalize same-sex relationships. Some were refugees the U.S. had protected specifically because of their sexuality. Ghana sent at least 22 deportees back to their home countries, even though a U.S. judge had barred every one of them from being returned there. Rabbiatu Kuyateh, 58, had lived in Maryland for nearly 30 years when ICE detained her at a check-in. Ghana forcibly sent her back to Sierra Leone.

Transphobia won’t save the GOP in 2026. It probably never did.: Republicans are betting again that voters hate trans people more than they care about any other issue. They will lose.
