Is this the death rattle of Iranian tyranny?

So now we know it is possible for something to be both horrific and farcical. The known death toll of the wave of missiles fired by Iran into Israel yesterday is as follows: Israelis 0, Palestinians 1. Yes, the Islamic Republic, in its preening, violent display of solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon against the Great Satan of the Jewish State, laid waste to just one life. That of a 37-year-old labourer from Gaza who’d been living near Jericho in the West Bank, brutally slain by the falling shrapnel from one of Iran’s missiles. The Israelophobes of social media who salivated over Iran’s attack were cheering a military operation that killed yet another Gazan. You couldn’t make it up.

Why Can’t Kamala Harris Prove She Worked at McDonald’s?

I’ve had a lot of jobs. No, seriously, A LOT of jobs. More than 80. I’ve done everything you can imagine, from roofing to being a busboy, from making sandwiches in a deli in an office building to being a press secretary in the United States Senate. I was even a “Merry Maid” for an hour – I filled out the paperwork, watched the training video, realized it was not for me, told the supervisor, and walked out. There isn’t much I haven’t done, and much I did for a very short time (I had an attitude when I was younger). I’ve quit, been fired, and stopped showing up. I skipped a week of work as a bartender at Red Lobster to visit my then-girlfriend at college, then went back, and no one said a word.

Meet the alt-Right Crunchy Mums

Granola breakfast pizza

If you were lucky enough to have a mother growing up, there are a few moments you’ll probably remember. In the middle of the night, stumping over from your bedroom to admit “I frew up”. The ceremonial bringing out of the sick bucket. A cold flannel on the forehead, Savlon on the grazed knee.

In those moments, your mother not only knows best, but becomes a sort of goddess. Against the fevers, blocked noses and nettle-stung shins of childhood, she wields a mystical healing power — the ability to kiss it better, to ordain that you’ll be “right as rain” in the morning (and you always are). This relationship rests on a limitless bank of trust, the ultimate vulnerability and the ultimate faith.

GIESBRECHT: Staggering number of churches burned, more than thought

Blacklocks reports that since 2010, when the Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) commissioners began making the claim in interviews and in interim reports that thousands of indigenous children had died at residential schools under suspicious circumstances, more than 400 Christian churches have burned in Canada.

Those allegations were false, and based on a conspiracy theory.

Are Canada’s Jews at a tipping point? Most are anxious, many are fearful, and some have moved away

The soaring brick façade and sparce windows of Congregation Machzikei Hadas are easily mistaken for a school or a prison, its faddish 1970s architecture masking the Ottawa synagogue’s century-old roots. Inside, Rabbi Idan Scher tends a congregation of about 350 Jewish families cycling through their religious calendar and life’s unstoppable milestones.

Michael Higgins: Liberals have turned Canada into a country that rewards terrorism

As the anniversary of October 7 approaches, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have decided to escalate their anti-Israel messaging while also adopting the ludicrous position of overtly supporting terrorists.

It’s a strange way for Canada to treat an ally — but not surprising considering the facile and simplistic response of the Liberals to events in the Middle East.

You’re kidding, you expected them to integrate? Windsor mosque honours slain Hezbollah leader, sparking online outrage

A well-attended gathering at a Windsor mosque on Sunday to celebrate the slain leader of Hezbollah — listed by Canada and other countries as a terrorist group — has sparked online outrage.

“We don’t believe Hassan Nasrallah is a terrorist,” said Hussein Dabaja, a co-organizer of the Windsor gathering and a Lebanese-born Hezbollah supporter.

Conflict in Middle East Is Result of Power Vacuum

The best thing that could happen is a swift and forceful joint military response.

After launching 200 missiles against Israel, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on X that his country does not want a war. If the launching of hundreds of missiles against the Israeli civilian population is, as Pezeshkian insinuates, almost a gesture of friendship, I wonder what they will do the day they want to start a war.

The Iranian president also asks Israel not to respond to the attack. Or to the defense, as the Iranians term it. Ayatollah Khamenei, who has the last word, insinuated that Iran had merely defended itself from an alleged Israeli attack, supposedly alluding to the Hezbollah leaders that Israel has managed to wipe off the map. There are a lot of things you can learn about the conflict just by reading the Iranians’ comments to both leaders’ messages.

Does anyone still want kids? Families are shrinking as people have fewer children — or none at all

Demographers, sociologists and your mother-in-law want to know: why aren’t people having as many kids?

Canada recorded its lowest-ever fertility rate for the second year in a row in 2023, according to Statistics Canada, at 1.26 children born per woman. It now joins the ranks of “lowest-low” fertility countries, including South Korea, Spain, Italy and Japan.

Statistics Canada said the drop between 2022 and 2023 specifically reflects an increase in the number of women of childbearing age, but also noted the fertility rate has been steadily declining for more than 15 years.


Of course there may be reasons unremarked upon in the article.
