America-Israel Rift Widens Following UN Security Council Vote to Which Hamas Objects
A Monday United Nations resolution, largely dictated by America, demands a two-week cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war start immediately while all 134 Israeli hostages are released. America abstained from voting on the resolution, and even as Hamas refuses to accept a cease-fire, the Biden administration is putting increasing pressures on Israel to end major military operations in Gaza, as the rift between the countries widens.
Peter Menzies: The Lamentable Decline of Canada’s Reputation as a Dependable and Globally Respected Nation
It’s been a few years now since Canada was the moderate, sensible, dependable, and globally respected nation that it grew into during the 20th century.
What we have become instead is a country with the world’s most radical collection of social policies, that is mocked mercilessly by international media for its foolish extremism, is taunted for its unwillingness to defend itself, and no longer has any influence to speak of on the international stage. While we once had a voice that was respected, we now have one that solicits, if anything at all, condescending grins of amusement.

Jamie Sarkonak: The Alberta plan to keep homeless camps from springing up again
Dangerous tent cities were once a fact of life in Edmonton, but no longer. The reason why has to do with the provincial government, which, instead of sluggishly conducting consultations for years, decided to set cabinet on the problem and just fix it. It’s a welcome reminder that ministerial responsibility is alive and well.

Ethics Commissioner’s Clearing of Trudeau in WE Charity Scandal Challenged in Appeals Court
A democratic non-profit advocacy group is appealing a court ruling that found Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not breach conflict of interest rules for his alleged role in the WE Charity scandal.
Democracy Watch is challenging the 2021 ruling by former Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion before the Federal Court of Appeal.
In a press release, Democracy Watch said it is arguing that Mr. Trudeau was guilty of violating federal ethics laws and that he directly participated in grant approval for the charity, according to a press release. The group said Mr. Trudeau was friends with the two Kielburger brothers who ran the charity and noted the family of the prime minister also had close ties with the group.

More Canadians ditch traditional TV as streamers are ‘winning the battle’: report
A new report suggests Canadians’ television viewing habits continue to shift toward streaming platforms at the expense of traditional cable and satellite subscriptions, at a time when the federal regulator is considering new rules to help level the playing field across the sector.
The annual Couch Potato Report released Monday by Convergence Research says 42 per cent of Canadian households did not have a TV subscription with a traditional provider by the end of last year. It forecasts that by the end of 2026, half of all households won’t be traditional TV watchers.
Ottawa has already spent $42M on a Liberal gun ‘buyback’ that still doesn’t exist
OTTAWA — Four years after the Trudeau Liberals announced sweeping changes to Canada’s gun laws, the government has so far spent $42 million on a federal firearms confiscation program that doesn’t yet exist.
In a response to an order paper question filed by Sen. Don Plett in September, Public Safety Canada revealed that $41,904,556 has been spent so far on the government’s “firearms buyback program,” and that 60 department employees are working on the project.
Trump warns Israel that it’s ‘losing a lot of support’
Former President Donald Trump said Israel has to “finish up” the war in Gaza in a Monday interview with an Israeli news outlet, adding that the country “has to be very careful” because it is “losing a lot of support.”
The presumptive Republican nominee’s comments come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled an Israel delegation that was set to visit Washington after the U.S. allowed a resolution calling for a cease-fire to pass the U.N. Security Council. Trump’s remarks also come as President Joe Biden’s administration has grown increasingly critical of Israel’s planned military offensive in Rafah, the southern Gaza city where more than 1 million Palestinians have sought refuge from the conflict.
Pew Research: more than half of insane leftist women are literally insane
In 2020, Pew Research released the results of a study that revealed more than 50% of “liberal” women between the ages of 18 and 29 had been diagnosed with a “mental health condition” by a professional; for men of that same age and political orientation, that number was over 30%.
When compared to “conservatives” and “moderates” of the same age and sex, “liberals” took the crown for most mentally ill.
France’s falling birth rate has prompted frantic calls for a ‘demographic rearmament’
Based on average fertility rates, France is Europe’s baby utopia.
In 2022, there were 1.8 live births for every woman in France. This was the highest rate across the Continent except for Georgia, according to official figures.
Parents in France get big tax cuts if they have more children, and access to a wide range of heavily subsidised childcare.
