‘We feel alone’: Jews wonder if they have a future at McGill University
In 1926, McGill University imposed a ban on Jewish students. Like other elite colleges at the time – including Harvard, Yale, Columbia and the University of Toronto – the school viewed with suspicion the increasingly Jewish inflection of its student body. Raising the admission standards for Jewish applicants, McGill succeeded in dropping enrolment levels of Jews.
Houthis blow up hijacked Greek oil tanker in Hollywood-style footage
Houthi rebels from Yemen have blown up sections of a hijacked oil tanker, prompting fears of a major oil spill and environmental disaster in the Red Sea.
Video footage shows an armed and masked Houthi rebel walking alone on the oil tanker Sounion, which was first attacked on Aug 22 with its crew forced to flee. The Houthi rebel plants what appears to be explosive devices on the Greek-flagged vessel.
WTF?

Justin Trudeau bends over backwards for America
There’s not much doubt what was on the minds of Justin Trudeau’s cabinet when members met in Halifax this week — at least when it comes to policy and not their party’s dismal standing in the polls.
You could tell by who they brought in to speak to them. There was Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan and one of Donald Trump’s leading advisers on trade. There was Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s ambassador to Washington, along with two former Canadian ambassadors and others deeply involved in cross-border issues.
WTF?
CBC's @22_Minutes thinks this is comedy? Two years after the Freedom Convoy, they're still bitter and mocking hardworking Canadians who stood up for their rights. Defund this garbage because nobody is watching. Only 50 views on YouTube 🗑️ pic.twitter.com/SP3EmqZh2Q

German security authorities on Friday warned of “unconventional incendiary devices” being sent in parcels via freight service providers.
The DPA and Reuters news agencies cited an alert from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the BfV domestic intelligence agency.
The alert, which was sent to logistics and aviation companies, described several incidents in which parcels sent by private individuals in several European countries caught fire while in transit.
WTF?
Ireland is so shot.

As another cannabis retailer tries to save itself, is the industry going up in smoke?
Tokyo Smoke is the latest Canadian cannabis retailer to close some of its locations and seek creditor protection in an unpredictable industry grappling with too many stores, high overhead costs and ultra-low retail prices.
One of the earliest brands to form in Ontario after the federal legalization of pot in 2018, Tokyo Smoke is shuttering 29 stores and restructuring its business under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, it announced Thursday. It will still have 167 locations open across four provinces.
Trump insists there are signs Fidel Castro could be Justin Trudeau’s father in new book
Former President Donald Trump once again stokes rumors about Justin Trudeau in his new book by claiming that Fidel Castro could be the Canadian prime minister’s father.
Trump put the rumor in print, weeks after saying in a podcast interview that ‘they say he’s the son of Fidel Castro, and could be.’
Trump has also previously said Trudeau’s mother Margaret slept with all of the Rolling Stones, according to a former aide – a story Mick Jagger referenced in a tour stop in Canada, that Trump also stirs up in his book.

Kamala Harris’s New Arab Outreach Director Said ‘Zionists’ Are ‘Controlling’ American Politics
Kamala Harris’s newly appointed head of Arab-American outreach once accused Zionists of “controlling” American politics, echoing an anti-Semitic trope that suggests Jews nefariously manipulate global affairs.
“The Zionists have a strong voice in American politics,” Brenda Abdelall, an Egyptian-American lawyer and former Department of Homeland Security official, said in a 2002 interview with the New York Sun while attending the American Muslim Council’s annual convention. “I would say they’re controlling a lot of it.”

Poilievre says he would set immigration targets based on housing, jobs and health-care trends
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he would set Canada’s immigration targets based on housing, jobs and health-care data if his party forms government after the next election, accusing the Liberals of bringing in more immigrants than the country can absorb.
Mr. Poilievre spoke with reporters outside Parliament’s West Block Thursday, where he criticized this week’s “expensive” cabinet retreat in Halifax and called on NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to pull his support for the minority Liberal government and trigger a federal election.
