Kamala Harris’s ‘Only Path’ To Destroy Israel

On July 26, US Vice President Kamala Harris stated that the “two-state solution is the only path” for Israel and the Palestinians. Harris, who was speaking after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC, also said she made clear her “serious concerns” about casualties in the Gaza Strip.

“It’s time for this war to end,” Harris added, referring to the hostilities that erupted on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Iran-backed Hamas terrorists and “ordinary” Palestinians invaded Israel. They murdered, tortured and raped thousands of Israelis. In addition, more than 250 Israelis, including toddlers, children, women and the elderly, were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip.

Ontario housing starts tumble, developers warn situation will ‘get worse before it gets better’

Two years and multiple housing laws since the Ford government promised to build 1.5 million new homes in a decade to solve Ontario’s housing crisis, key indicators suggest home construction is grinding to a trickle.

The number of housing starts in the first half of 2024 has lagged behind the previous year, while June saw a 44-per cent drop year-on-year. At the same time, new home sales — which can predict future home construction — are also falling.

And we’re on track to bring in even more foreign students than last year.

Trudeau must prove he won’t tax our homes

Actions speak louder than words. That’s especially true when those words come from a politician with a track record of breaking promises and hiking taxes.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he won’t send the taxman after Canadians’ homes. But if Trudeau wants Canadians to believe he won’t impose a home equity tax, there’s one thing he must do: end the CRA’s home reporting requirement.

New York is losing its war on rats. Time for children to enlist

New York has tried everything to rid the city of rats. Rodent birth control. The appointment of a “rat tsar”. The revolutionary concept of putting food waste into a bin rather than out on the street.

None of it seems to have worked, and now Eric Adams, the city’s mayor, has a new idea: recruit children to help.

Volunteers for a new “Rat Pack” will be required to attend a two-hour training session, taken on a “rat walk” to uncover the hidden world of their new foes, and taught about rat biology and how they interact with humans.

Conrad Black: Coercing Customers to Buy EVs Goes Against the Realities of the Market

As the colossal fear-mongering operation that has accompanied the obsessive preoccupation with climate change is abandoned by former adherents—an operation that strains credulity with the uneventful passage of time—Canada’s commitment to electric vehicles appears more and more absurd. But we seem at least to have spared ourselves the billions committed in the United States to set up new charging stations for road vehicles, which has so far resulted in only a handful being opened.
