Toronto police warn of increased presence for annual ‘Walk with Israel’ and possible protests

Toronto police are warning of a heightened police presence in the city this weekend as the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) prepares to hold its annual “Walk with Israel” event.

Police say they have received information that some protesters also plan to attend the event “intent on disrupting” it.

This is the 55th year that UJA is holding the “Walk with Israel” event in the city — a five-kilometre walk followed by a three-hour “solidarity festival.”

Canada’s Jobless Rate Rises to 6.2% in May as Labour Market Disappoints Jobseekers

Canada’s unemployment rate continued its upward climb in May, rising slightly to 6.2 percent as opportunities became harder to find for prospective jobseekers.

Statistics Canada’s latest labour force survey showed the economy added 27,000 jobs last month—too modest of a gain to keep the unemployment rate from rising by a tenth of a percentage point.

Some Voters Want an Outlaw

By treating Donald Trump as a unique threat to the way things run, Democrats are burnishing his populist bona fides.

Democrats learned quickly that the legal pursuit against Donald Trump had a political effect. In the beginning of 2021, Florida governor Ron DeSantis was tied or ahead of Donald Trump. When the first criminal charges came down, Trump consolidated the support of the Republican base, while it seemed to hurt him with suburban moderates and in the betting markets.

The Hamas Role in the Worst Massacre of Gay People in America

Nearly eight years after a Muslim terrorist committed the largest massacre of gay people in American history, LGBTQ Islamic terror supporters blocked the Philadelphia gay pride parade.

“Long live the Intifada,” members of Queers4Palestine chanted, referring to the Islamic terrorist campaign against the Jewish State, chanting that the gay pride parade was just like the KKK and the Israeli army. “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever!”

Protesting a gay pride parade in support of Hamas was a fitting prelude to the anniversary of the Islamic massacre at a gay nightclub which had its own Hamas connection.

1 In 5 NYC Hotels Is Now An Illegal Migrant Shelter, Driving Up Prices

Summer tourists in New York City face unprecedented lodging costs as hotels throughout the city are being repurposed as migrant housing.

The average price for a hotel room in the city, based on 2023 data, is a record-breaking $301 per night, an 8.5 percent increase from 2022 costs. This rise in prices is largely due to the city’s gross overcommitment to providing shelter for the influx of illegal migrants flooding the city.

Downtown decline: Is Vancouver on the brink of becoming a retail dead zone?

Some downtown businesses fed up with vandals and thieves are considering moving on. What can be done about it?

… The chaos “makes operating very, very difficult,” said owner Sunan Spriggs, who started the shop in 2016 and has since added a Toronto location.

Spriggs attributes the crime and vandalism — which her store has dealt with constantly as well — to the nearby overdose prevention site and too many damaged and desperate souls on the streets. “When you have users, you have low-level drug dealers, and the users have to afford their habit.”

How you can resist the globalists’ Great Reset

The next few months, culminating in the presidential election on November 5, is a time for We the People in the USA to reset the Great Reset of the globalist elites, which is their plan to rule the world and subjugate us.

How do we stop tyranny in the United States?  Through peaceful political involvement with determination to remain in control of our own lives.

If you watched the D-Day anniversary observance on CSPAN or elsewhere, you might have seen globalists in the audience, and on stage, including Emmanuel Macron, Joe Biden, and John Kerry.

The god delusion of secular liberals

Pronatalist influencers don’t know when to stop

By now it’s a cliché that liberalism in the Anglosphere has become a religion, whether or not its adherents know it. But less often remarked is a fact somewhat in tension with this claim: namely, that its worshippers get to be minor gods too, making up the moral rules themselves. The past few weeks have offered up two new case studies for us to contemplate. The first involves a married couple from the US, Malcolm and Simone Collins, described as the “poster children of the pronatalist movement”, now thrust into an even wider media spotlight courtesy of a viral Guardian interview about their lifestyle. The second is a book by political philosopher Alexandre Lefebvre, Liberalism as a Way of Life, published on Tuesday.

John Ivison: MPs suspected of foreign influence deserve justice, but not frontier justice

If the names of senators and MPs suspected of foreign influence were released, they would be ruined, possibly without appropriate proof

It’s a rare thing when political debate in this country changes anyone’s mind. Speeches are not meant to be persuasive; they are delivered to confirm the prejudices of partisans.

Yet, at the parliamentary public safety committee on Thursday, Dominic LeBlanc made a convincing case for not releasing the names of MPs and senators who were named in the redacted National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report released earlier this week.

The report said that a number of unnamed “semi-witting or witting” MPs and senators helped foreign states to the detriment of Canada’s democracy and national security.

Garbage. The public has a right to know. Let God sort them out.

Muslims say MP’s not sufficiently Jew Hatey

MPs calling out hate while disparaging Israel criticism ‘duplicitous’: Muslim groups

OTTAWA — Muslim groups called on political parties to work harder to stamp out Islamophobia in Canada on Thursday, and to not paint criticism of Israel as antisemitic.

The concerns centred on condemnations of pro-Palestinian rallies and advocacy since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

“The response that the Muslim community in Canada, for months, has been receiving from our elected leaders has been duplicitous,” National Council of Canadian Muslims head Stephen Brown said Thursday.

Tom Mulcair: Pierre Poilievre proves to be a quick study when it comes to damage control

It was Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s birthday on Monday, but he could’ve probably done without the package that one of his more obscure backbenchers dropped on his doorstep.

Conservative MP Arnold Viersen might want to consider another line of work after getting lambasted publicly by Poilievre and being forced to issue a groveling retraction.

Ouch.

‘You don’t know Hamas’: What gay Israelis think about anti-Israel protests

At a trendy cafe in the bohemian Florentin district of Tel Aviv, Niv Nissim, a 30-year-old gay Israeli, described the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas as “maybe the worst moment for everyone who lives in Israel.” He spoke of an acquaintance who perished at the Nova Festival massacre. “He went to dance and he was murdered. Most of the people that got murdered and kidnapped are people with the same values that I have — peace advocates,” Nissim said.
