Liberal America’s ‘Haiti Isn’t a S**thole’ Narrative Took a Fatal Blow Over the Weekend

In 2018, Donald Trump reportedly included Haiti on his “s**thole” countries list. Liberal America went apoplectic, as they were still reeling from their upset loss. In 2016. Anything Trump says is attacked, and things haven’t changed since he left office. Yet, this was also a true statement. The island nation has been a virtual failed state for decades. For days after those remarks, we were subjected to gaslighting from the liberal media who tried to sell the line that Haiti was the gem of the Caribbean.

Students without passing grades could participate in graduation under proposed changes to Ottawa school board policy

A proposed change to the graduation ceremony policy of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) would see the board switch to equity-based commencement ceremonies and allow for students without passing grades to participate.

The school boards need to be cleansed, teacher’s colleges need to be burned down and any suspect graduates of the last 20 years tossed out of the schools.

Ukraine war is changing the global arms trade

Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war has driven new arms purchasing in Europe in dramatic fashion, with US manufacturers being the main beneficiaries, according to a new study from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

From 2019 to 2023, the worldwide trade in weapons declined by 3.3% overall from the 2014-18 figures, but the amount of arms imported by European countries in that period doubled compared with the previous five years.

At 55%, the lion’s share of arms sales to European countries came from the United States. This was up 20 percentage points from the previous period.

So …

Xavier weighs 11 pounds.

I found that out when we went to the Vet last week.

He developed a runny eye that was clearly irritated as he blinked and squinted continuously.

Vet took eye pressures and also looked for other signs of the irritation and nothing came up.

His appetite, functions and activity level were all normal despite the runny eye.

She prescribed a combo anti-biotic steroid eye drop – TobraDex.

It had an almost immediate positive effect.

I have a 7 day “drops in both eyes” regime to follow which ends Thursday repeated after 5 days of no drops should symptoms recur.

So far so good but I did notice a bit of blinking this morning.

That Ramen box is his favourite space next to a shoebox and he likes to lay on his scratch board more than scratch.

Michael Dolgin: Canada must not stop tolerating antisemitic ‘protests’

I think of the job of acting as inhabiting a situation or identity significantly different from my own. As a rabbi, acting is not really in my wheelhouse. However, when I was cast in a commercial sponsored by the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism (FCAS) to play a rabbi whose synagogue receives a bomb threat during a Bar Mitzvah ceremony, I found it was a familiar role.

Rabbi Michael Dolgin is senior rabbi of Temple Sinai Congregation of Toronto and is actively engaged in interfaith dialogue.

How Canada became a cauldron of authoritarianism

It seems Justin Trudeau isn’t only a dick – he also gets his ideas from one. Philip K Dick, to be precise. Trudeau’s government has proposed a new law that would give judges the power to put an individual under house arrest if they fear he might commit a hate crime. That’s right – might. It’s right out of The Minority Report, Dick’s 1956 dystopian tale of a future America in which a ‘Precrime’ police division uses intelligence from mutants known as ‘precogs’ to arrest people before they’ve committed an offence. Welcome to woke Canada, where Dickian nightmares come true.

Oscar night …

Just a note; I have fallen asleep twice trying to watch Oppenheimer. While it may well be a quality soap opera it sure ain’t history.

‘Discrimination’ Rampant in Canadian Institutions, Say Recent Reports—But How Is ‘Discrimination’ Defined?

In a recent survey, B.C. politicians said the provincial legislature is a “toxic” workplace that’s rife with discrimination. The Canadian Human Rights Commission heard similar complaints about its own personnel late last year. Meanwhile a March 4 Statistics Canada report said one in five athletes have encountered discrimination in sports, while analysis last month said seven out of ten young Canadians have encountered online hate.

As a result of these reports, one could conclude that Canada is an intolerant society, but that may not be the objective reality, says academic David Haskell.

Pierre Poilievre’s ‘Axe the Tax’ rally draws thousands of supporters to Toronto Congress Centre

Explaining why he decided to spend his Sunday afternoon at a Conservative rally against the carbon tax, Graham Humphries expressed a common sentiment among those in attendance.

“Trudeau sucks, obviously.”

Humphries, 32, was joined by his wife, Kelci Wolter, who was pushing their nearly 1-year-old son in a stroller. He said he actually voted for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals back in 2015. He didn’t follow politics back then, though, and just went along with what was a popular choice at the time. Now Humphries said he’s paying attention, and he believes “we’re going off a cliff.”

Hamas leader’s torture tactics revealed in IDF tunnel raid

Eight years after his execution, the name of Mahmoud Ishtiwi is still whispered in the Gaza Strip by those in Hamas who oppose the iron rule of ­Yahya Sinwar, its chief in the territory.

Executions within Hamas are hardly rare, but that of Ishtiwi was different. He was no ordinary operative accused of “immoral” acts or passing on information to the Israelis but the commander of the Zeitoun battalion, one of the battle-hardened units in Hamas, and came from a family whose members had all been prominently active in the movement for decades.
