Alberta ‘War Room’ Supporters Say Negative Publicity Expected, More Time Needed, While Calls Mount for Centre’s Closure

The Alberta government’s “war room,“ a.k.a the Canadian Energy Centre, has faced a number of battles and made some stumbles in its first 10 weeks of existence, garnering negative publicity and leading opponents to call for its closure, while supporters want it to weather the storm and serve its purpose. The opposition New Democrats say the initiative is a waste of money, with NDP energy critic Irfan Sabir calling it “a costly, ridiculous failure.” But Michael Binnion, president and CEO of Questerre Energy and a supporter of the war room, says the negative media coverage of the CEC doesn’t come as a surprise. “I’m not surprised to see the MSM [mainstream media] criticisms since one of the reasons we need the CEC to inform the public is [due to] the…

Three people in California were killed following a dispute about a rental agreement, local police officials confirmed.

A 20-year-old woman, Jordan Guzman, and her 18-year-old boyfriend, Anthony McCloud, are accused of killing 46-year-old Wendy Lopez-Araiza, her 21-year-old daughter聽Genesis Lopez-Araiza, and 18-year-old Trinity Clyde, said Hemet Police.

Hemet Police Department Chief Eddie Pust said聽Wendy Lopez-Araiza’s husband arrived home from work Wednesday and found his wife unresponsive. The two other victims were found elsewhere in the house, Pust said on Friday, according to ABC News.

Guzman had rented a room inside the home. She was allegedly visiting with her boyfriend when a dispute about her rental agreement emerged, sparking the alleged murders, said Pust.

The chief said the pair allegedly stole Clyde’s vehicle and fled the scene.

“This was a tragic, horrific incident that’s going to stay in the minds of the family members and friends forever,” Pust told reporters.

Guzman and McCloud were eventually apprehended by officials hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they are both being held on $2 million bond, police said, according to the Press-Enterprise publication.

Pust said there was evidence of blunt force trauma and strangulation in the three victims’ deaths. There was no indication of a gun being used.

Rodney Clyde told a local TV station that his daughter, Trinity, was planning to rent a room in the Lopez-Araiza house, reported The Associated Press.

“I just bought her paint yesterday,” he said. “That was my baby. That was my kid.”

Family members established a GoFundMe page for Clyde to raise money for related expenses.

“Hi friends and family we are kindly asking for donations for my niece Trinity who was brutally murdered. The way she was taken from us has been completely devastating to our family this news was completely unexpected our hearts will never fully heal without her. We are so great full for any help given no matter how big or small,” according to the page.

Another GoFundMe page was established for聽Wendy and Genesis Lopez-Araiza.

“They were brutally and senselessly murdered. We are asking for financial help, because this tragedy is impossible for us to handle at this moment, on our own. Please help us with the expenses surrounding this tragic situation,” the page said.

Hemet is a city of about 85,000 residents in Riverside County, located about 75 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Guzman and McCloud had attorneys who could speak on their behalf.

Julian Assange Appears in British Court to Fight US Extradition Bid

LONDON—Julian Assange appeared before a British court on Monday to fight an extradition request from the United States which wants to put the 48-year-old on trial for hacking government computers and violating an espionage law. A hero to admirers who say he has exposed abuses of power, Assange is cast by critics as a dangerous enemy of the state who has undermined Western security. He says the extradition is politically motivated by those embarrassed by his revelations. Almost a decade since his WikiLeaks website enraged Washington by leaking secret U.S. documents, he is wanted by the United States on 18 criminal counts of conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law and could spend decades in prison if convicted. Now, some 10 months after he was dragged from…
