A Justin Trudeau Ally Nearly Quit the Party Over its Israel Policy But Decided He Could Better Serve Humanity By Doing Nothing

Justin Trudeau nearly lost a loyal Liberal lawmaker amid rising internal tensions in Canada’s Parliament over the Israel-Hamas war.

Anthony Housefather, an outspoken Jewish MP from Montreal, toyed with leaving his party to join the Conservatives after most of Trudeau’s Liberals voted in favor of a non-binding motion in the House of Commons that took direct aim at Israel. It’s the latest example of how the conflict is straining center-left politics across the globe — and challenging the place of Jewish leaders in mainstream progressive politics.

Elon Musk Calls Online Harms Act an ‘Attack on the Rights of Canadians’

Elon Musk is once again speaking out against the proposed Online Harms Act, calling it an “attack” on free speech rights in Canada.

The billionaire owner of social media platform X called the proposed legislation “a terrible attack on the rights of Canadians to speak freely” in a May 7 post on X.

Mr. Musk waded into the issue in response to an article about the new changes being brought in with the proposed legislation, and in response to psychologist and author Jordan Peterson who also commented on the new bill.

Racist Cop who fed promotion exam answers to fellow black policemen is a hero says racist idiot

I think Superintendent Stacy Clarke is a hero for trying to help Black officers

Our gains in this country and every other “white” dominated society have been through civil disobedience, challenging and when necessary, breaking the rules.

I’ve been distracted over the last few days with the current disciplinary hearing for Toronto Police Superintendent Stacy Clarke. Stacy Clarke has the distinction of being the first black woman to attain the rank of superintendent, on the Toronto force and is currently facing a battle to save her job due to allegations of “misconduct.”

Admittedly, Clarke shared interview questions with six Black constables who were eligible for promotion. What’s not in question is the fact she did it. What’s also not in question is the fact what she did was technically wrong.


It was wrong. She proved she is of poor character and should not be a police officer. She should be fired. End of story.

Boy Scouts Destroyed Itself By Accepting Girls

Back in the old days Scouts could be found learning to kill Japs and Nazis.

Its main attraction had been that it was a place for boys to do activities geared toward boys alongside other boys.

The Boy Scouts of America announced Tuesday that it will be rolling out a new name: Scouting America. The change was made in the name of making girls feel included. “This will be a simple but very important evolution as we seek to ensure that everyone feels welcome in Scouting,” said the organization’s CEO in announcing the change. “We are an organization for all. It’s time our name reflects that,” he said.

Back in 2019, the Boy Scouts announced that it would accept girls into its programs and would change the name of its flagship program to Scouts BSA to reflect that change. Ever since, the organization has been in total freefall.

Jesse Kline: Fear and loathing on the occupied University of Toronto campus

TORONTO — King’s College Circle on the University of Toronto campus was a lot less rowdy on Tuesday morning than it was late last week, when anti-Israel protesters breached the fencing that had been set up around an area intended to host a convocation event and began occupying the sprawling courtyard. But the demonstrators’ messaging was no less contradictory or grotesque.

Israel’s Newest Security Threat – Is the US Next?

The Iranian-orchestrated Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 — which resulted in mass rapes, the murders of 1,200 men, women, children and infants; taking more than 250 hostages and firing thousands of rockets at Israeli towns and cities — has shown that China, which Israel might have thought was an ally, turned out to be, sadly, more of an enemy.

China refused to condemn Hamas and its terrorist invasion of Israel, choosing instead to condemn Israel just a week after the massacre and before Israel had even launched its ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

Top Indian diplomat lashes out at Canadian advocates for a Sikh homeland

OTTAWA — India’s envoy to Ottawa says Canadians who advocate for a separate Sikh homeland in India’s Punjab region are a “national security threat” and a “red line” in bilateral relations as diplomatic tensions between Canada and the government of Narendra Modi continue.

Speaking in Montreal on Monday, High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma said India does not recognize dual nationality, and that Indians who adopt Canadian citizenship are “foreigners” who have no right to weigh in on matters of Indian politics.

Time For a Reality Check: The Left Loves Furries, Trans People & Fetishes

Welcome to Woke of the Weak where I’ll update you about the most woke, progressive, insane, and crazy clips and stories that the left thinks is tolerable and well, point out why exactly they’re nuts.

The left has a toxic tendency to think that it’s the arbiter of truth – that whatever progressives say is not only their truth but gospel truth and should not only be respected but widely accepted and spread throughout the nation. If you ask me, however, the left – well, most of it – is living in fantasyzland and needs nothing more than a reality check.

CSIS warns that Chinese-backed interference isn’t going anywhere in latest report

As the dust settles on the landmark findings of the foreign interference inquiry, Canada’s intelligence agency is warning that China likely will back more meddling campaigns and expand its online pressure tactics over the coming year.

In its latest annual report, released Tuesday, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says the People’s Republic of China (PRC) remains “an enduring threat” to Canadian technology, democracy and diaspora communities.

“The PRC’s negative perceptions of select Canadian domestic and foreign policy initiatives may also drive more foreign interference, disinformation efforts and cyber activity in 2024,” said the report.
