The Department of Canadian Heritage paid thousands of dollars to a Toronto TikTok personality who has disparaged Conservatives in a number of profane posts, access-to-information records showed.
… On Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Horner wrote, “It is always the bitches who look like they would tear up at a Sears’ clearance rack who have their nose in the business of trans youth, always.”
File this one under iconic international charities with long-blemished reputations behaving with even more baffling hypocrisy than usual. True, the shocking shenanigans at Unrwa, the so-called relief agency that has been found to have Hamas terrorists on the payroll, take up much room in that expanding brief. All the while, though, the Red Cross seems to have been lending a hand to convicted Palestinian Arab terrorists by helping them stuff their pockets with wads of misbegotten cash that could fuel more terrorism.
North York councillor James Pasternak was the target of suspected antisemetic threats earlier this month, his office has confirmed to CP24.
On Tuesday, police announced that they charged a man after he allegedly contacted the constituency office of a local councillor over the phone and made “several antisemitic threatening comments towards them.”
The incident, which police are calling hate-motivated, happened on March 9.

OTTAWA — Despite an 11th-hour amendment that defanged the NDP’s contentious Palestinian motion in the House of Commons on Monday evening, Canadian Jewish groups reacted to the motion’s passage with alarm.
Shimon Koffler Fogel, president and CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA,) reacted to the non-binding motion’s passage with both disappointment and anger.
It’s not just merchant ships being targeted by the Houthis in the Red Sea. The US carrier strike group trying to protect them has also been under constant threat too.
The BBC is the first British media to visit the USS Dwight D Eisenhower since it began this mission in November.
“This is deadly stuff,” says Captain Dave Wroe, who commands the four US Navy destroyers which provide the extra protection for the carrier.
“Uncomfortable is an understatement.”

The comments are …
Late last year, when Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announced the Liberals’ plan to eliminate the sale of cars with internal combustion engines by 2035, a number of people, myself included, rolled their eyes at the government’s interference in the free market. Little did we know how fast the free market would slap the electric vehicle mandate back to reality, while Canadian taxpayers continue to subsidize green fantasies.
The United States on Monday confirmed that an Israeli airstrike in Gaza last week killed senior Hamas commander Marwan Issa.
“Hamas’s number three, Marwan Issa, was killed in an Israeli operation last week,” U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said during a White House press briefing.
Videos of massive crowds lining up for job fairs in the GTA and elsewhere in Ontario show just how tough the job market has become.
With minimal spots to fill and hundreds — sometimes thousands — of people competing for those few roles, it’s been a grind out there for prospective employees.
The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right, meaning all free men and women have that right, regardless of where they are on the planet. It’s part of why so many of us find other nations’ gun laws so insulting. It’s a repression of people’s right to have weapons to defend themselves and their nation.
HOLY SHlT.
Obama-appointed Federal Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman just ruled that illegal immigrants have a right to carry guns.

The chief executives of Canada’s three largest telecom companies stressed that phone and internet prices are coming down during an appearance before MPs on Monday, noting that increased data usage and high spectrum costs may be some reasons Canadians feel otherwise.
The three CEOs — Rogers Communications Inc.’s Tony Staffieri, BCE Inc.’s Mirko Bibic and Telus Corp.’s Darren Entwistle — appeared virtually at the House of Commons’ industry committee meeting.
Committee members voted unanimously last month to summon the trio to testify after a previous invitation to the chief executives resulted in other corporate representatives showing up instead.
Can’t say I’ve seen evidence of this.
JK Rowling has vowed to continue “calling a man a man” in defiance of controversial new SNP hate crime laws.
The Harry Potter author said she would not delete her social media posts, in which she has regularly argued that trans women are not women, to avoid being taken to court “under this ludicrous law”.
She said she would instead “do some more accurate sexing” after the legislation takes effect at the start of next month, despite predictions that LGBT campaigners plan to use it to target her. Rowling lives in Edinburgh.
