Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.
The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.
Conservative Party MP Rachel Thomas has expressed concerns that public broadcaster CBC could receive the lion’s share of Google’s $100 million annual payment to Canadian media while smaller publishers see few benefits from the deal.
Ms. Thomas, who serves as her party’s heritage critic, says she assumes CBC could be receiving $33 million based on the fact that the public broadcaster employs a third of journalists in Canada.
CONFIRMED!
CBC has 1/3 of the journalists in the country so they’ll receive 1/3 of the $100 Million!
Bell, Rogers, and Torstar will be the other big winners!
Independent, local, BIPOC, and Indigenous media outlets are out of luck!
So much for “saving news”!#C18#cdnpoli… pic.twitter.com/uIywsQVMSK

Israeli warplanes have attacked targets in Gaza after the end of a seven-day ceasefire, with strikes across much of the region that health officials in the territory said had killed 109 people.
Loud, continuous explosions were heard coming from Gaza and black smoke billowed from the territory.
Neither Israel nor Hamas had announced an extension to the truce, and both had said repeatedly in the previous 24 hours that their forces were ready to resume fighting.

WARMINGTON: Author urges Indigo’s Jewish CEO to drop vandalism charges but not her books
The theme of this real-life Naomi Klein page-turner might be irony and hypocrisy.
Irony in that Indigo Books carries all nine of the talented author’s best-selling books despite her objection to what the company’s CEO Heather Resiman does with her charity.
Law enforcement has enjoyed much less success solving the dozens of church arsons launched during the Liberal Party’s anti-Catholic pogrom.
Consumer Reports finds that EVs have significantly more problems than ICE counterparts
Reporting on the seemingly endless problems with EVs is giving me déjà vu, but, here we go again.
Yesterday, AP journalist Tom Krisher broke down the results of a new Consumer Reports survey, which according to Consumer, represented 330,000 vehicles …

A recently unsealed U.S. criminal indictment alleging a plot connected to the Indian government to carry out multiple assassinations in North America has rattled Canadian and American relations with the world’s most populous democracy.
The court document, made public Wednesday, lays out U.S. prosecutors’ case against Indian national Nikhil Gupta. U.S. authorities allege Gupta was planning to kill an American Sikh political activist before he was arrested.
The indictment landed months after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shocked the House of Commons by accusing India of being behind the killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
Mehdi Hasan is the latest casualty in MSNBC’s rush to quiet its anti-Israel faction. The network just cancelled the Pro-Palestine host’s weekend programme, as well as his show on the streaming service Peacock.
The Israel-Hamas War has exposed the inherent tensions within the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition, and Hasan’s cancellation signals an attempt to placate moderates at the expense of the far-Left.

Canadian gun rights advocates have submitted an appeal to the Federal Court’s decision in which it dismissed multiple lawsuits against the Liberal government’s May 2020 ban on more than 1,500 firearms.
The appeal was filed on Nov. 29 by the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights (CCFR) along with several firearms dealers and gun owners after Justice Catherine Kane ruled on Oct. 30 that the government had not exceeded its authority granted by Parliament by bringing forth the ban.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province intends to stop collecting the carbon levy on electric heat.
In a video posted to X Thursday morning – Moe and Saskatchewan Party MLA for Athabasca Jim Lemaigre announced the change would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2024.
According to the province, around 85 per cent of Saskatchewan homes are heated by natural gas – with the remaining 15 per cent using electric heat among other sources.
Even if it were politically and psychologically possible to resume a war under the circumstances, how could Israel realistically win?
Iwish I could be optimistic about Israel’s ability to defeat Hamas in the aborted war, but I am more pessimistic than ever.
I’ve been a pessimist from the start. As Rich Lowry and I have discussed on the podcast, that’s because I’ve never believed Israel’s stated war aims were either politically feasible or reflective of on-the-ground reality — which is much worse than Israel or the Biden administration is willing to acknowledge.
USE the words ‘China’, ‘respiratory’, ‘virus’ and ‘unknown’ in the same sentence and you will soon get people’s attention. That is just what has happened and, of course, our old friend Global Health Now was on hand to convey the news in its usual alarmist tones.
Its lead article on Monday was headed: China’s Respiratory Illnesses Raise Concerns. This rekindled ‘pandemic fears’ amongst ‘worrisome reports about respiratory illnesses’ emerging from China. It was enough to alarm the WHO, so we should consider ourselves lucky that we are not masked up, locked down and queueing for vaccines again
The government wants us to believe that we have nothing to fear from its mass spying programs as long as we’ve done nothing wrong.
Don’t believe it.
It doesn’t matter whether you obey every law. The government’s definition of a “bad” guy is extraordinarily broad, and it results in the warrantless surveillance of innocent, law-abiding Americans on a staggering scale

“If I did take you, I would kill you, your wife, and your children.”
The elites have maintained a conspiracy of silence following the Dublin knife attack.
The knife attack on three primary-school children and a school-care assistant in Dublin last week shocked Ireland. It happened in broad daylight on Parnell Square, close to Dublin’s busiest streets. And it was witnessed by tourists, Dubliners and thousands of CCTV cameras.
