This Thanksgiving we got a reminder of what might-have-been. And what we have been unburdened by.
We should be truly grateful.
For this was the week in which Kamala Harris broke her post-election silence. And I think anyone who saw it can agree: the vice president is not doing well.
It was in a high school gymnasium in Missouri that Winston Churchill first warned of an “iron curtain” descending across Europe. If peace were to prevail, he said, the Western alliance must be strong and the newly-founded United Nations must be “a force for action and not merely a frothing of words.”
Sitting in a well-appointed hotel ballroom in Halifax last weekend, chess grandmaster and Russian dissident Garry Kasparov quoted Churchill’s prescient warning. Russia has prosecuted a nearly three-year-long war against its neighbour, he said, and the U.N. has only frothed words. “So,” Kasparov said. “Forget the United Nations.”
It was then that Canada’s foreign minister, Mélanie Joly, interrupted. “We must never forget the United Nations,” she said. I cringed. “We need the United Nations,” Joly insisted.
The owners of the social media sensation Peanut the squirrel and a pet raccoon named Fred, who were “executed” after they were seized by New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation, are suing the state, claiming their rights were violated.
Mark Longo, the squirrel’s owner, provided WETM at Syracuse with a copy of his notice of claim, which must be filed before a lawsuit, seeking damages from the DEC and other local agencies.
Avi Benlolo: Canada betrays itself by letting antisemitism thrive
A nation’s moral character is defined by how it treats its minorities. By this measure, Canada’s treatment of its Jewish population today raises grave concerns. Over the past decade, our national identity and the values we once upheld have eroded. Who are we as Canadians? This loss of identity has created a void, exploited by Canada’s detractors to instill values that clash with the country we once knew.
Across government, schools, unions, and the media, a toxic environment has emerged, fuelling hostility against Jewish Canadians. When political leaders fail to stand with Israel, it gives permission for hatred to fester at home. Actions like Mélanie Joly’s visit to Ramallah, legitimizing the Palestinian Authority despite its ties to terrorism, betray Jewish Canadians and their homeland.
The article touches on issues we’ve discussed on this blog but to my view fails by not acknowledging that the “success” of Elite approved anti-White racism is responsible for the vehemence of Canada’s current outbreak of antisemitism. Hating Whites, even white children, is perfectly acceptable in Canada and that “victory” has emboldened the antisemites.
The antisemitism we currently witness is not the result of ordinary Canadians going rogue.
It is our elites who created Canada’s toxic immigration stew.
The elites imported masses from incompatible cultures that have little connection to our western heritage and values, Jews are simply an after thought for these groups.
It was the elites not ordinary citizens who encouraged Muslim settlement, a primary source of Canada’s antisemitism.
The elites teach immigrants that Canadians are merely White skinned settler-oppressors who have no claim to the nation built and defended by our ancestors.
The elites encouraged ethnic and religious balkanization by deliberately abandoning any requirement of immigrants to assimilate into Canadian culture.
The elites deliberately impoverished Canadians simply to ensure a pool of cheap labour and future ethnic vote blocs without care for the economic and cultural wreckage that has ensued.
The elites bludgeoned ordinary Canadians who opposed their divisive immigration policy by slandering us as racists and Islamophobes.
The elites demonize and discriminate against ordinary Canadians by racist affirmative action laws and DEI witch hunts. As a longtime fellow warrior notes; “DEI weakened the white, European, Judeo-Christian majority culture so much that people no longer have an authoritative basis for determining between right and wrong and thousands of years of history were thrown out in favour of “fairness.”
Muslims aside the worst incidents of antisemitism spring from our privileged elite culture, our universities & schools, our political class, media and public service.
This morning a friend and I were musing about how good Canada was when we were children. That Canada was destroyed by our elites.
Few speak up for us, for our stolen birthright. Our voices are ignored and suppressed.
I will end with this: Batya Ungar-Sargon on antisemitism & the demonization of the working class by Jewish leadership: “The American working class is our bulwark against becoming like Canada, becoming like Europe.”
This clip will begin at roughly the 34 minute mark.
I maintain my belief that the “silence” of previously reliable support noted by the Jewish community stems at least in part from the foolish embrace of racist policies like DEI and CRT by Jewish leadership.
FREDERICK, Md.—If President-elect Donald Trump ramps up deportations as promised, he will have a strong ally in Chuck Jenkins, the longtime Republican sheriff of Maryland’s Frederick County.
“I’m willing to support the president 100%,” said Jenkins, 68, gravel-voiced with a gray buzzcut. “I want to do more, within the law.”
That prospect is spreading fear in immigrant circles, advocates say, and drawing mixed views from residents in this growing county, which backed Democrats in the last two presidential elections. But Jenkins, once dubbed among the nation’s 10 toughest immigration sheriffs by Fox News, sees Trump’s imminent return to the White House as a mandate for a more assertive approach.
One residential construction worker would have to produce nearly three-quarters of a home each year to meet the federal government’s 2031 housing goal, a number of homes-per-worker nearly two-times higher than today’s average, given major challenges around innovation and supply chains.
Last April, the Trudeau government announced its new housing plan, which included the promise of 3.87 million new homes by 2031.
A woman has been summoned for interview under caution by police after calling a man she claims confronted and threatened her husband and teenage daughter a “pikey”.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary is investigating the woman, in her 40s, for an alleged “racially aggravated comment”, despite closing its investigation into the man’s alleged actions after one day.
The mother of two, who has no previous convictions and is being supported by the Free Speech Union, will be interviewed under caution by the force on Friday.
A new poll has found that most Canadians fear the nation’s euthanasia regime unfairly targets those who are financially and socially vulnerable but still support the practice in general.
The poll, conducted by Angus Reid and released on November 21, showed that roughly three-in-five respondents, or 62 percent, “worry financially or socially vulnerable people will consider MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) because they lack adequate care.”
Worryingly, the poll also found that 63 percent of respondents were fine with Canada’s current euthanasia laws.
They only have to get lucky once Mr. Coyne – Millennium Plot/Ahmed Ressam – On December 14, 1999, Ahmed Ressam—a 32-year-old Algerian—aroused the suspicion of alert border guards at Port Angeles, Washington, as he was attempting to enter this country. https://t.co/yNnyb0QN37https://t.co/ChOzHeW5KK
Being Canadian used to be a profound source of pride for us in the Jewish community. Growing up in Toronto meant living in one of the most ethnically and racially integrated cities in the world, a true mosaic of diversity and coexistence, built on the backbone of countless immigrants.
Canada didn’t live up to its values on immigration over the last few years as it allowed more people into the country than it could absorb, said former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney.
Carney, who is a special adviser to the Liberal party, made the comments at an event on Wednesday in Ottawa held by Cardus, a Christian think tank.
“I think what happened in the last few years is we didn’t live up to our values on immigration,” Carney said.
