Continuing US support? Take caution, Israel. Take great caution.

The US could abandon Israel as an enfeebled Joe Biden moves politically leftwards to ensure he receives the 2024 presidential nomination. The Democrat House of Representataives aid vote is a warning.

Day after day, criticism of Israel’s waging war in Gaza is increasingly heard from the White House, and in coordination with their leftist allies.

On February 8, President Joe Biden said Israel’s war in Gaza has been conducted in a way that is “over the top.”

Also on February 8, clearly taking aim at Israel, Biden issued an order calling for the withdrawal of military support to any US arms recipient not fighting their war in adherence to international law, including international human rights law.

Donald Trump just did Europe a favor

BERLIN — It might not be strategic, but at least it’s autonomy.

In one fell swoop over the weekend, Donald Trump freed Europe from the confines of the American security bubble.

“I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want,” Trump claimed to have told a European leader about how he would respond if their country were attacked by Russia. “You gotta pay!”

Why should the freeloaders not pay their share?

Guilbeault wants municipalities to stop building roads; urges people to walk

The road to hell will truly be paved with ill-intent — or not at all — if a leading Liberal cabinet minister has his way.

It’s not enough to ban internal combustion engines, keep oil and gas in the ground and force all Canadians to drive electric vehicles. Now federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault wants governments at all levels to stop building the roads to drive them on.

Trudeau Housing Minister Decoded: Supplying Corporate Welfare Class With Cheap Foreign Labour Worth Making Housing Unaffordable For A Generation Of Young Canadian Citizens

Housing minister denies he ignored warning about immigration levels and housing supply

OTTAWA – Housing Minister Sean Fraser said he didn’t ignore warnings as immigration minister about the number of new Canadians the country was accepting exceeding the number of houses the country was building.

The Liberals immigration targets set to plateau next year at 500,000 permanent residents are twice what the targets were when they came to office in 2015.

Fraser appeared at the House of Commons finance committee, where Conservative MP Jasraj Singh Hallan demanded to know why he had failed to act on that warning in his last cabinet post as immigration minister.


There is no “labour shortage” – Canada’s much-touted labour shortage is mostly a mirage

… Despite that apparent shortage, wages are not rising in response. That could be explained in part by a lack of pricing power by some employers. They may not be able to increase their own prices enough to absorb the cost of higher wages.

The heart of the answer, however, is the rise in the number of temporary foreign workers who are willing to work for cut-rate wages and are not as able to shift jobs nearly as easily as Canadian residents. The number of such workers has exploded since the pandemic, jumping to 120,000 at the end of 2022 from 73,360 at the end of 2019.

“White People Are Subhuman,” Says RAF Tla’amin Leader

“The white people in Canada are subhuman because of what they’ve allowed to happen,” said former Chief Councillor of the Tla’amin First Nation KWAST-en-ayu (Maynard Harry) in a 90 minute phone interview with The New Westminster Times about the City of Powell River’s controversial name change proposal.

… “White people need to acknowledge their culture is lost,” said KWAST-en-ayu bluntly. “White settler culture is a lost culture because nothing good defines white people.”

“If I insult white people, I don’t give a sh-t,” admitted KWAST-en-ayu.


I will vote for the leader who says, “Hey Abo’s you’re on your own, no more cheques.”

Germany: AfD Makes Gains in Berlin Election Despite ‘Anti-Far Right’ Protests

Both the centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU) and the right-wing, antiglobalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) made significant gains in elections held on Sunday, February 11th, in Berlin. Newly released opinion polls also suggest that Germany has veered sharply to the right, despite multiple attempts by the leftist government to stigmatise the AfD.

Recently orchestrated demonstrations against the ‘far right’ in Berlin were claimed by the media to show public opinion opposing the AfD—but the election results tell a different story.
