Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday evening brought his proposal for the “day after” Hamas for the approval of the Political-Security Cabinet.
“The Prime Minister’s document of principles reflects broad public acceptance of the goals of the war and of the civilian alternative to Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.
OTTAWA – Canada is putting $80.5 million toward a mission to improve security conditions in Haiti, where rampant gang violence has caused an ongoing crisis.
Global Affairs Canada says the money will go towards a multinational security mission led by Kenya to support efforts by the Haitian National Police.
It’s expected to support training, communications and logistics for police deployed to the mission and expertise in areas like human rights due diligence.
Professional courtesy? Haiti ranks 173rd out of 180 countries in the corruption index.

Most Canadians may not appreciate the hard choices that lie ahead as Canada prepares to meet its NATO commitment of devoting 2 per cent of this country’s gross domestic product to defence.
Politicians are shielding voters from that harsh reality. They won’t be able to shield them much longer.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg declared this week that Canada must provide a hard date for meeting the 2-per-cent floor that all NATO members committed to last summer.
Four months into the war to eliminate Hamas in Gaza, residents of northern Israel are asking, “What about us?”
Lebanon-based Hezbollah and the Israel Defense Force are exchanging fire daily, even as both sides carefully attempt to avoid an escalation into all-out war. Meanwhile, since shortly after October 7 up to 70,000 Israeli citizens have been evacuated from their homes near the Lebanese border.
A pro-Catholic advocacy organization is calling on New York authorities to investigate transgender activists for alleged hate crimes committed against St. Patrick’s Cathedral during a recent funeral for a trans actor and prostitute.
In letters this week, Catholic Vote president Brian Burch demanded that New York attorney general Letitia James and district attorney Alvin Bragg investigate trans activists who “profaned” the holy cathedral and “mocked the Catholic religion” during a funeral for Cecilia Gentili, a transgender activist, prostitute, and actor from Argentina.
The UK Government’s Net Zero transition policies risk making the poor poorer, a new report has found.
Research published by the Young Foundation shows that the Net Zero plan requires wholesale participation across society, failing to account for the unique needs and vulnerabilities of different communities. Thus the poorest 40% of UK households are at risk of falling into “transition poverty” under these policies — meaning they’ll struggle to meet basic needs and see a decline in quality of life under rising costs.
The poor will always suffer under Elite green-scams.
Judge Engoron (and I always want to call him Erdogan, which I’m sure is Freudian) may have dealt an economic death blow to New York when he ruled against Donald Trump to the tune of almost half a billion dollars. Businesses and ordinary people have announced they intend to boycott New York, whether for self-protection or principle. But what happens when it’s the governing body that engages in boycotts? That turns out to be just as much of a death blow. The tale of San Francisco’s decision to boycott 30 states because the city disagreed with their politics is a wonderful example of leftist hubris and the economic havoc it wreaks.
Hamas may be losing in Gaza, but it’s winning in Michigan.
While Israeli commandos rescued a 70-year-old man and 60-year-old man who were being held hostage in Gaza, Hamas supporters in America were taking an 81-year-old man hostage in D.C.
Hamas may be losing in Gaza, but it’s winning in Michigan.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib is now the latest Michigan Muslim terror activist to urge Hamas supporters in the state to reject Biden in the primary by casting an “uncommitted” vote.
The upper-crust halfwits of Just Stop Oil are causing misery to ordinary people.
Reading about Cressida Gethin, the latest Just Stop Oil protester to be convicted of causing a nuisance, I found myself thinking of the strange days when British débutantes, young women making their first appearance in upper-class society, used to curtsey to a cake. I also thought of their other odd rituals, such as the parlour game, ‘Are You There, Moriarty?’, as splendidly showcased recently in Netflix’s One Day. Such customs appear perfectly reasonable to the ruling class, while utterly insane to the rest of us.
Watching the news, you get the sense that climate change is making the planet unlivable. We are bombarded with images of floods, droughts, storms and wildfires. We see deadly events nearby but also far-flung disasters when the pictures are scary enough.
Let’s be clear in respect of what is really happening: The Biden administration policy for Ukraine has put that country in a war of attrition with its larger neighbor.
Once again, the elite press is covering for President Biden and the Democrats — and misleading the American people. Reporters and pundits are doing everything to blame House Republicans for the failure to pass a foreign aid bill, even though the Democrats refuse to come to the table.
The left’s principles are simple: Throw money at Ukraine (including a vast amount of non-military cash), send a much smaller amount to Israel, do nothing to offset the costs and reduce the deficit, and leave the American border in chaos. Otherwise, no deal.
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Albertans that right-wing politicians are misleading them on the carbon tax and net-zero targets, and that the transformation of the Canadian energy sector is “not a plot by Eastern bastards” to phase out oilsands.
On Ryan Jespersen’s Real Talk show on Wednesday, Trudeau was asked if he is committed to sticking with his government’s defining environmental policy, which Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged would be scrapped if he forms government after the next election.
Why did the government call an election in August, 2021, in the middle of a pandemic, just as Afghanistan was falling, and with more than two years left in its mandate? A good argument could be made that it was to shut down a Commons committee looking into the mysterious dismissal of two Chinese nationals from a top-secret Winnipeg research laboratory.
At the urging of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the two scientists – Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, head of vaccine development at the National Microbiology Laboratory, and her husband Keding Cheng – had their security clearance revoked and were escorted out of the facility by RCMP officers in July, 2019. They were fired in January, 2021.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has taken a rare shot at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a lengthy radio interview, in which the premier also took aim at federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault.
During an interview with AM 640’s John Oakley, Ford talked about Guilbeault and the federal government, labelling the environment minister “an extremist.”
“Sometimes I sit back and wonder, who’s running the country, Justin Trudeau or Guilbeault? And right now I don’t know who’s running the country,” Ford said.
