A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.
Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody he asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied: “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.
A strong majority of Canadians want to see U.S. President Joe Biden re-elected in November, but many expect a Donald Trump return is more likely, according to a Nanos Research survey.
The poll conducted for The Globe and Mail shows 69 per cent of Canadians say they are hoping for Mr. Biden to win the next U.S. election.
Are you on Katy Telford's rolodex? This smells like a Trudeau Re-Election gambit. I'm certain Canada's compliant media has already booked time for your 'Poilievre is just Like Trump' rants. Talk about foreign interference in our elections. #cdnpoli https://t.co/uMuyE97F3z

The “Conservative Dad’s Real Women of America” 2024 pinup calendar features old-school images of sexiness — bikinis, a red sports car, a bubble bath.
The models are influencers and aspiring politicians familiar to the very online pro-Trump right. In one image, a BlazeTV host in a short skirt lights a copy of The New York Times on fire with a cigar. Another model, the former N.R.A. spokeswoman Dana Loesch, hoists two rifles.
Published by a “woke-free beer” company hastily launched last year as an alternative to Bud Light, the calendar was clearly meant to provoke liberals. But when photos of it began circulating online in December, progressives did not pay much attention. Instead, it sparked a heated squabble on the right over whether “conservative dads” who happen to be Christians should reject the calendar on moral grounds, or embrace it as an irreverent win for the good guys.
I’m thinking the New York Times is upset all Liberal-Left women are not Dylan Mulvaney.
Justin Trudeau acknowledged this week that he’s no longer popular. Hearkening back to similar comments by former prime minister Brian Mulroney, whose funeral will be held Saturday, Trudeau said, “My job is not to be popular. … My job is to do the right things for Canada now, and do the right things for Canadians a generation from now.”
Friends and foes suggest a solution to Trudeau’s popularity problem — one that may lead the Liberals towards an existential crisis in the next election — is a pause to the carbon price increase coming to Canadians’ wallets on April 1.
But Trudeau has much more to lose if he amends his government’s signature climate policy than if he stands his ground.
The unidentified drones were such an issue that assets were called in from around the government, including a NASA WB-57 high-altitude jet.
Langley Air Force Base, located in one of the most strategic areas of the country, across the Chesapeake Bay from the sprawling Naval Station Norfolk and the open Atlantic, was at the epicenter of waves of mysterious drone incursions that occurred throughout December. The War Zone has been investigating these incidents and the response to them for months. We know that they were so troubling and persistent that they prompted bringing in advanced assets from around the U.S. government, including one of NASA’s WB-57F high-flying research planes. Now the U.S. Air Force has confirmed to us that they did indeed occur and provided details on the timeframe and diversity of drones involved.
Two weeks ago, I was hearing a disturbing message from two young Canadians while having lunch at a downtown Toronto cafe.
They were questioning whether it’s still safe to be a Jew in Canada.
This week, I was sitting with two rabbis in Thornhill as they raised the same questions for themselves and their congregations.
I don’t blame them for feeling that way.
But to be clear politicians count votes not principles and the police are a militia who follow the orders of our pols.
Neither politicians or the police were ever your friend.
That cutline is insulting. I haven’t abandoned anyone. Also, white Christians have been subject to systemic demonization for years, and there’s been no organized response from the Jewish community. Should I feel “abandoned” by them?

Some in the Jewish community have a legitimate beef with our politicians & police, they saw the Islamist writing on the wall. Others called non-Jews like myself Islamophobes or racists for warning about Islamist migration. Few spoke up about DEI when whites were the public target

The government may be forced to limit the available choices for citizens in order to battle predicted ‘devastating consequences’ of climate change. That’s the message in an opinion titled “Climate Justice,” published on March 13th by the German Ethics Council.
In the opinion, the Ethics Council—a board of expert advisors established by German law—recommends actions to be taken by corporations, individuals, and the government to ensure the effects of climate change do not unjustly burden “those who are not so well-off.”
They’re illegal, deadly, and off the grid.
Windsor police seized seven 3D printed guns in the last year — a sign that the latest evolution in illegal firepower is not only here but proliferating.
But too many won’t believe anything other than that Israel is deliberately targeting women and children
One of the marks of anti-Semitism, George Orwell observed in 1945, is “an ability to believe stories that could not possibly be true”. Which brings us smartly to Hamas and how the broadcast media, aid organisations, international bodies and world leaders take its disinformation as gospel. Last week it became clear that this gullibility may have led to a crime against reality.
You might not know it based on the current crisis, but housing is a human right in Canada.
In 2019, the federal Liberal government enshrined the right to adequate housing in the National Housing Strategy Act. Canada is also a signatory to the U.N.-backed International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which recognizes housing as a human right in which parties must ensure the security of tenure for all citizens. Forced evictions are a prima facie violation of the covenant.
March 14, 2022, was an ordinary day. I snoozed my alarm at 7.15am and then again at 7.30am. I checked on a prescription at 10.25am, scanned my bank balance at 2.40pm and bought a birthday card for my father at 4.05pm.
I didn’t record these mundane actions, but Facebook did.
In fact, between December 2021 and December 2023, Meta — the company that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — tracked me an average of 33 times a day from websites and apps that aren’t connected to my social media accounts. Even when I wasn’t looking at them, they were looking at me.
They were standing at the corner that would become an intersection of good and evil. They were innocents waiting for the light to change at Hyde Park and South Carriage roads in London, Ont., so they could safely cross. A dark-haired man. Two women wearing kameezes, traditional Muslim clothing. A couple of kids — a teenaged girl and a little boy — who would make everyone take notice.
Yemen’s Houthi terrorist group has obtained a new hypersonic missile and upgraded its current arsenal with warheads, Russian state media RIA reported on Thursday.
Citing an unnamed Houthi official, the terrorist group told RIA that they had tested a hypersonic missile “with high lethality” and are planning to add it to their arsenal.
The rising cost to host six FIFA World Cup soccer games in Toronto will come before city councillors this week, with some focused on preventing the price tag from rising further.
Council will dig into a report that shows the cost to taxpayers to host the 2026 matches has jumped by $80 million. Late last month, city staff said that the price shot up because of a variety of factors including inflation, security costs and the city being awarded six games instead of five as initially expected.
All for 6 crappy games and free tickets to the finals for a few local grandees their kids and clients.
Climate activists from the group Last Generation took to the streets to engage in “civil disobedience” in 10 cities across Germany on Saturday, where they disrupted traffic before being hauled off by police or going home on their own accord.
Climate activists blocked a major road in Berlin, answering a call by Last Generation to take part in "disobedient gatherings" across Germany. pic.twitter.com/BDXM0GszmD
