Iran’s New Plan: Lost Gaza, So Take West Bank

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has condemned Israel for initiating a large-scale military operation in the northern West Bank, near Jordan, but it has purposely chosen to overlook the reason behind the Israeli security’s operation. Israel’s counterterrorism operation, called Summer Camps, targets numerous Iran-backed armed terrorist groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), that have been operating freely in PA-controlled territories in the past few years.

Ottawa warned release of names of Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada could help Russia

Russian propaganda in the war against Ukraine could get a boost from the release of a secret report naming hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals who later came to Canada, the federal government has been warned.

Ottawa has been considering releasing the remainder of an inquiry report that has been kept secret for decades and contains the names of around 900 alleged war criminals who came to Canada after the Second World War, including members of a Ukrainian SS division.

Key photos reveal forensic timeline of billionaire couple Barry and Honey Sherman’s murders

Police photos of the Barry and Honey Sherman crime scene suggest she was attacked after she entered their home on Old Colony Road — not carjacked and taken into the house as was initially speculated in police documents.

A photo snapped by a police forensic officer shortly after the pair’s bodies were discovered shows two gift bags placed neatly on the kitchen table, along with a handbag.

Even in Atlantic Canada, the tide is turning on the Trudeau Liberals

Back in 2002, when he was leader of the Official Opposition, Stephen Harper decided to make himself persona non grata in Atlantic Canada. “There is a dependence in the region that breeds a culture of defeatism,” he infamously declared.

Atlantic Canada has long been known as a reliable bastion of support for the Liberal Party, which could be one reason why Mr. Harper – a conservative from the West – felt at liberty to trash-talk the place. But these days, Atlantic Canada is as fed up with the Liberals as Alberta is. A recent Angus Reid survey shows that only 21 per cent of Atlantic Canadians support the Liberals; in comparison, 43 per cent support the Conservatives. It’s just the latest poll showing deepening dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s government and a steady lead for Pierre Poilievre’s Tories; in August, a Leger poll found 19-per-cent support for the Liberals, a mere 8 per cent for the NDP, and a remarkable 55 per cent for Conservatives. If the pattern holds, the region seems poised for a blue wave in the next election.

Let’s send asylum seekers to Rwanda, says Germany’s migration chief

Germany’s migration commissioner has proposed sending migrants to Rwanda, where facilities prepared for Britain’s now-scrapped deportation deal are sitting empty.

Joachim Stamp, a Free Democratic Party member of chancellor Olaf Scholz’s governing coalition, said that the scheme would target refugees crossing the European Union’s eastern borders.

CHARLEBOIS: ‘Charging’ ahead, canola be damned

Canada’s decision to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) last week was a predictable move. Ottawa fully anticipated retaliation, which came swiftly as China announced an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola exports. While there is no evidence of actual dumping, the facts are largely irrelevant in this case. China will proceed with sanctions regardless of the explanations provided by the Canola Council or Canadian diplomatic channels. Much like in 2019, when Canada faced a similar impasse, we could see borders close again for Canadian agricultural exports.

Hunter Biden offers to change not guilty plea in tax case

LOS ANGELES — Hunter Biden intends to change his plea from not guilty to accepting a sentencing that would come from a guilty verdict in the federal tax case against him, his attorney Abbe Lowell said Thursday.

The reversal was made shortly before jury selection was expected to begin in what would have been Biden’s second trial this year. The only surviving son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden is the first offspring of a sitting president to stand trial on criminal charges.

Jesse Kline: The anti-Israel profs who aided the illegal U of T encampment

As the new school year gets underway, a report released Thursday by Canary Mission, an organization that documents antisemitic and anti-Israel activity on North American campuses, paints a grim picture of how University of Toronto administrators sat back as their campus was overrun by terrorist supporters and outside agitators. In particular, the report lists dozens of U of T faculty, the very people responsible for educating future generations, who aided and abetted last spring’s illegal anti-Israel encampment.

Trudeau “Disappeared” from Montreal Byelection Campaign Signs

No photos of Trudeau on campaign signs in Montreal riding ahead of byelection

MONTREAL — One familiar face is conspicuously absent from a federal byelection campaign in Montreal that could have major implications for the Liberal government.

As candidates embark on the home stretch of the campaign in LaSalle-Emard-Verdun, their election signs are everywhere — at major intersections, on side streets, fixed to lampposts, beneath stop signs.
