Every major United Nations conference on climate change ends the same way – with absurd political hype over adopting meaningless catch phrases and setting imaginary goals that its 195 member nations will then fail to achieve.

A survey published this week by the German Central Council of Jews reports that a third of Jews in Germany have experienced some type of antisemitic attack since October 7th. The attacks have ranged from antisemitic graffiti to personal insults, and almost all communities report increased psychological pressure, receiving threatening calls and threatening emails.
A stunning 80% of the Jewish religious congregation leaders surveyed stated that life has become more unsafe for Jews—specifically Jews who wish to express their faith in public in any form—since the October massacre.
Germany has a tendency to classify Muslim anti-semitism as “right-wing.”

It now costs more to afford basic necessities in Calgary than in any other major city in the country — including Vancouver and Toronto — according to Statistics Canada’s updated market basket measure.
The market basket measure is Canada’s official measure of household income poverty. It defines how much a family of four would have to earn to afford a basic standard of living, and that’s calculated by the cost of a basket of basic goods and services, including food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
Families are considered to be living below the poverty line if their disposable income is less than their city’s market basket measure.
Toronto sucks.

Anything happening to a mosque is a major story. But an Iraqi Muslim immigrant running around with a shotgun outside a synagogue is a minor story.

Two 12-year-old girls have been charged after what police describe as a “violent assault” left a woman unconscious at an Edmonton train station.
Edmonton Police say the incident happened on Nov. 26 at 8:30 p.m. at the Coliseum LRT station.
What?

Schoolchildren have been taught that St Hadrian was black despite there being no evidence for the claim.
The Dark Age abbot St Hadrian of Canterbury has been referred to as a “black scholar” in primary school teaching material, despite the holy man being of north African origin and not black.
The seventh-century abbot has been included in numerous overviews of black British history, including those provided by charities and local councils.

Is Judge Marie-Josée Hogue the new David Johnston? The Quebec Court of Appeals judge was appointed in early September to head the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions, months after “special rapporteur” Johnston had concluded that an inquiry wasn’t necessary.

If Justin Trudeau does stick around for the next election, we can expect him to run against Donald Trump instead of Pierre Poilievre.
In fact, if Trudeau decides to stay instead of taking a walk in the snow or a surfboard to Tofino, watch for him to trigger an election in 2024 rather than wait until 2025.

The prime minister of Canada recently blasted Israel for accidentally killing civilians in Gaza— even though the Canadians deliberately killed German civilians in World War II.
Hypocrisy? Cynical indifference to the historical record? Perhaps a little bit of both.

I’m fascinated by the subject of immigration because I’m a sucker for moral complexity. For decades, too, I’ve been an immigrant myself, though I’ve played by the rules (at some cost), and I’ve never been a burden on the state (to the contrary). Besides, I am by nature territorial. Even having perfectly agreeable house-sitters in London during my summers in Brooklyn has been painful, and the first thing this Goldilocks has always done on returning home is expunge every reminder that bears have been sleeping in my bed and eating my porridge. That said, we’re all territorial. Hence the moral complexity.

Several scientist members of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) want more influence over governments to bring about their radical and potentially deadly climate policies. “Five lead authors of IPCC reports” insisted “that scientists should be given the right to make policy prescriptions and, potentially, to oversee their implementation by the 195 states signed up to the U.N. framework convention on climate change,” The Guardian’s Arthur Neslen reported Thursday.
“At some point we need to say that if you want to achieve this aim set by policymakers then certain policies need to be implemented,” said IPCC Vice-Chair Sonia Seneviratne. The “policies” Seneviratne is referring to are “fossil fuel cuts and phaseouts,” reported Neslen.

The Office for the Protection of the Constitution in the German state of Saxony has formally classified the conservative, antiglobalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD)—the state’s most popular party—as a “right-wing extremist” outfit. Leading AfD officials say the move is little more than a desperate attempt to drag the party’s name through the mud before next year’s elections.
In today’s ‘oh spare us’ news, the left is having an absolute cow over Israeli troops flushing out Hamas terrorists from their snake holes and then forcing them to strip down to their underwear to prove to that yes, they were surrendering, and no, they didn’t have a gun in their pants or a shiv in their shoes, or a strap-on bomb in their pocket, or a dynamite pack in some orifice, which is a pretty standard military safety precaution.
Proof of Genocide perpetrated at the hands of the @IDF
This is absolutely disgusting!
These poor potential raping and pillaging @hamasrat terrorist bastards better have been given sunblock!
