To survive Donald Trump, Canada must do these four things. Justin Trudeau is going to hate them all

In January 2017, the day after Donald Trump signed what he called a “Muslim ban,” limiting travel from some Middle Eastern countries to the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent a signal, without mentioning Trump, that Canada was different.

“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith,” he tweeted. “Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada”

I think Trump will simply ignore Junior.

Most serious case of TDS you’ll see all day … “The boys in our liberal school are different now that Trump has won”

… But now all that seemed as if it was just the beginning of a new wave of male conservatism that was infiltrating our school. Obsession with achieving a more muscular body through excessive exercise and intense dieting fueled by ridiculous social media campaigns fell far outside the realm of healthy self-care. And the desire to socialize only with other boys stood in stark contrast to the co-ed activities we were accustomed to since childhood.

From the Guardian of course.

RCMP videos show how extremist ideology fuelled armed Coutts protesters

Sitting in an interview room in a southern Alberta RCMP detachment, Tony Olienick looked calm.

He stretched his legs as he casually told a police investigator what he thought should happen to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“He needs to be tried for treason,” Olienick said between bites of dinner.

“If he’s proven guilty, like we know he is, hang him – and get back to how it should be.”

I bet the majority of Canadians have fantasized in similar fashion about Trudeau or other political opponents and let’s face it Justin is an extremist, a very harmful one.

I Tell My Sons to Be Kind, But Is It Enough in Trump’s America?

When my two young sons woke up the day after Trump decisively won re-election, my wife and I delivered the news: The candidate we voted for the day before— Kamala Harris—had lost.

My older son, 6, immediately asked us: “What was the final score?”—he had recently experienced the Yankees’ defeat by the Dodgers, so he was no stranger to a hard loss.

Canada’s dirty money is funding instability in the Middle East

Hamas’ and Hezbollah’s financial tentacles span the globe and reach deep into Canada.

“War is a matter not so much of arms as of money,” according to ancient Greek historian Thucydides. Indeed, the gruelling year-long, multifront counteroffensive is costing Israel’s economy $260-million – a day.

The other side deals with a similar problem, which is compounded by the fact that Hamas has impoverished Gaza. Yet, until recently, Hamas seemingly had no shortage of cash.
