As Israel and Hezbollah inch toward war, Canada braces to be a doormat for ungrateful ‘citizens in name only’ just like the 2006 evacuation

Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly had a stark warning Tuesday for Canadian citizens in Lebanon.

“If the armed conflict intensifies, it could impact your ability to leave the country and our ability to provide you with consular services,” she said. “Canada is not currently offering assisted departures or evacuations for Canadians in Lebanon, and these are not guaranteed.

… Canada spent $94 million and leased seven ships to evacuate Canadians from Lebanon to Cyprus and Turkey in 2006.

The evacuation led to complaints in Canada about “citizens of convenience” after reports emerged that many evacuees returned to live in Lebanon as soon as it was safe to do so.

Canada ultimately evacuated about 15,000 people. Today, a similar number of Canadian citizens have registered with the embassy in Lebanon. Joly has said that is likely just a “fraction” of the true number of Canadians in the Middle Eastern country.

Never is the time to bring in more Muslims.

Tackling US gun violence as a public health crisis. Will it help?

US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has declared gun violence a public health crisis, a move aimed at curbing the US’ role in leading the world in shooting deaths.

In a first-of-its-kind report urging action, the country’s top doctor noted that a majority of Americans or their family members have experienced gun violence.

A public health approach could help, Dr Murthy argues, as it did with changes to seatbelt safety in vehicles and warnings about health impacts of smoking cigarettes. He hopes to remove politics from an issue that has bitterly divided lawmakers and instead have Americans look at the impacts and the data.

Oh No!! Trump’s attacks on voting by mail may have lowered Canadians’ trust in mail-in ballots

Toronto Star Editorial Board

Donald Trump has launched vigorous attacks on voting by mail. His relentless assault on the integrity of mail-in balloting has cast a shadow over the confidence of American voters. Our recent investigation suggests that Trump’s false claims also had reverberations across the border, influencing how some Canadians view mail-in ballots.

We find a significant trust divide in voting by mail in Canada between those most likely sympathetic to Trump’s political pronouncements — for example, Canadians holding right-wing populist views — and other Canadians. The trust gap is also much wider among Canadians exposed to U.S.-based media.

50 immigrants brought to US through an ISIS-tied smuggling ring are unaccounted for by DHS: report

Three Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials told NBC News on Tuesday that 50 out of 400 illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States through a human smuggling network connected to the Islamic State are still unaccounted for.

The revelation comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested eight men from Tajikstan in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles this month over suspected ties to the Islamic State of Iran and Syria (ISIS).

Canada orders deportation of ex-employee of Hamas-linked aid group

Canada’s immigration tribunal has ordered the deportation of a Palestinian woman formerly employed by a Mississauga, Ont. relief group linked to Hamas.

Majeda Sarassra was deemed inadmissible to Canada on security grounds because she worked for the International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy Canada.

The Immigration Appeal Division ruled the 45-year-old’s employment made her a “member” of IRFAN-Canada, which it said had engaged in terrorism.


This will be appealed forever.

Given the “political climate” I doubt she will be turfed.

French far-right candidate faces prosecution for election campaign poster demanding a ‘future for white children’

A Future For White Children

A far-Right election candidate in France is facing prosecution for unveiling an election poster reading: ‘Let’s give white children a future.’

The slogan is accompanied by an image of a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy, and is in support of Pierre-Nicolas Nups of the Parti de la France (Party of France).

Pascal Schneider, the mayor of Neuves-Maisons near Nancy and one of the biggest towns in the constituency, said: ‘This poster is nothing more or less than a rag that sullies the city, the canton, the entire department.’

“Kill Whitey” would have been A-OK however.

Barbara Kay: Schools Must Scrap Anti-Racism Objectives That Risk Encouraging Anti-Semitism

A sample of the sort of crap prevalent among Canadian universities.

Earlier this month, the Fraser Institute published the results of a commissioned poll, conducted by Leger, that sought to know how Ontario parents of children in schools—both public and private—in grades K–12 felt about the teaching of controversial issues. Their 1,000 survey participants, both heritage and new Canadians, projected a strong and uniform set of values.

Nine in ten of the participants believe teachers and the provincial curriculum should “focus on providing students with facts, and a learning environment within which students can openly explore facts.” On controversial issues, 77 percent of parents “strongly agree or somewhat agree” that teachers should either present both sides of controversial issues or none. The poll’s conclusion was that parents overwhelmingly “value balance over bias in classrooms.”


Our teacher’s colleges, teacher’s unions and schoolboards along with provincial governments that enabled them should be sued for child abuse.

For the past decade White children have born the brunt of the abuse dished out in the guise of “anti-racism”.

Hamas stands firm against global pressure to accept hostage deal

Hamas stood firm Tuesday against global pressure that it accept the proposed three-phase deal, stressing that any deal which did not guarantee a permanent ceasefire from the start “was not an agreement.”

The Qatar-based Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh released the statement after his sister was killed during an IDF airstrike in Gaza, accusing Israel of deliberately targeting her to pressure the group to take the deal.
