Vivian Bercovici: Liberals and NDP turned their backs on Jews — in Israel and Canada

On Oct. 7, Hamas terrorists launched a massive attack against Israeli civilians that, I expect, succeeded beyond their wildest expectations. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood had been planned for years, with training support of every kind from the Islamic Republic of Iran and other Islamist proxies in the region.

The goal was not only to invade southern Israel but to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem; to “flood” the mosque with holy warriors — jihadis — and destroy Israel along the way.

Feminists clash with pro-trans activists on march against anti-hate speech law

I bet.

Feminists protesting new Scottish hate speech laws have been abused by pro-trans activists.

Women marching in Edinburgh against Humza Yousaf’s new legislation, which prominent critics including JK Rowling warned could criminalise airing gender-critical beliefs, including the view that men cannot change their sex, clashed with pro-transgender counter-demonstrators, it has been claimed.

Pictures from the march show demonstrators draped in the trans pride flag holding abusive placards.

ChrystiaFreeland is at the centre of a political storm. The course she charts out of it could save her Liberal government — or make matters even worse

OTTAWA—It’s 2014, and Chrystia Freeland is laughing on the streets of London.

In classic Freeland fashion, she’s casually strolling with a smart and influential person whom she has known for years: Michael McFaul, a top Barack Obama-era foreign policy thinker, fresh off his stint as the American ambassador in Moscow. Aown a long block of the historic city, the subject turns to how Freeland recently transformed her life. Only seven months earlier, she was elected to Parliament in a downtown Toronto byelection, thus trading her vocation as a successful journalist for a new calling as a Canadian politician.

France: Strasbourg attack suspect jailed for 30 years

Strasbourg memorial

One of the accomplices in the deadly Christmas market attack in Strasbourg was handed 30 years in prison, a French court ruled Thursday.

The 42-year-old accomplice from the Ivory Coast, Audrey M., went on trial in February along with three others over their roles assisting in the attack. He was the main defendant in the trial, and is accused of helping the perpetrator of the attack obtain a firearm.

The 29-year-old attacker, Cherif Chekatt, was shot dead by police after a massive manhunt. He killed five people and wounded 11 others when he opened fire on the open-air market in December 2018.

CHARLEBOIS: Debating the path to carbon pricing

Over 340 economists have penned an open letter in support of Canada’s prevailing carbon tax policy.

Despite the misleading information noted in the letter regarding the carbon tax’s impact on our climate and its effect on our cost of living – specifically referencing the Bank of Canada’s erroneous calculations – the group certainly has the right to express its viewpoint.

OH NO! Justin Trudeau is getting impatient, and it shows

“Far too many young people, particularly millennials, and Gen Z, don’t feel like the system works for them anymore, even if they have a great job,” he said. “They are squeezed on housing, they’re squeezed on rent, they can’t save up for buying a home, they’re pressed on groceries, they’re seeing a world where climate change is getting worse and worse. They’re worried about their future and government has a role in making sure that there is fairness for them.”


Blaming others for his mistakes is not impatience, it’s par for the course.

We should encourage this impatience as blaming others for the housing, immigration & affordability crisis Justin himself created proves he’s a liar without care for the impact his lunatic policies have on ordinary Canadians.

Canada has become a safe haven for officials from Iran’s monstrous regime

Qasem Soleimani: US kills top Iranian general in Baghdad air strike

We only heard the man with blood on his hands speak twice: once, to correct his Persian translator, and later, to confirm that he understood the reasons for his deportation order.

This was Seyed Salman Samani’s third and final hearing at Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). His lawyer had requested that it be closed, but the IRB declined, and so I was among the three journalists who attended the virtual hearing last month. And in the end, IRB adjudicator Kirk Dickenson ordered Mr. Samani – Iran’s former deputy interior minister – to be deported from Canada.

Germany: Hundreds of Thousands of Asylum Seekers Could Soon Become Citizens

An MP for Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has blasted the left-liberal ‘traffic light’ coalition’s radical new naturalization law, suggesting that it not only encourages more migration but also violates international refugee law which aims to give temporary protection to refugees—not grant quick citizenship.

The law makes migrants and asylum seekers eligible for naturalization after just three to five years of residency instead of eight, was passed by the leftist majority in the Bundestag in January and is set to come into effect in June.

Queen’s Park and Ottawa caught off guard by Ford’s delay of EV manufacturing in Ontario

Queen’s Park and Ottawa, which have jointly pledged billions in electric vehicle manufacturing subsidies, were jolted by Ford Canada’s move to delay domestic EV production.

Ford Canada announced Thursday it would postpone all electric vehicle production at its Oakville assembly plant by two years until 2027 due to softening demand.

That move came in the wake of the provincial and federal governments ponying up $295 million each in 2020 to boost EV production there. Neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the federal industry department officials were given any advance warning of the car company’s decision, with officials learning of it in the news.
