“That’s what the Irish government is telling the Irish people, that they’re ’far-right’ and ‘racist’ because they don’t want … criminal … b*stards living among them,” says one Irishman sick of his government’s woke migration policies.

Justin Trudeau’s foreign minister is grappling with a world of chaos. But is she making a mark?
Given all that has happened since — new and still-raging wars; diplomatic chills; everblooming fears for the future — it almost seems quaint to recall. But last November was still a dead-serious time on the world stage.
Mélanie Joly, the affable political survivor from Montreal who serves as Canada’s foreign affairs minister, was in Bucharest to meet her counterparts in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Just before travelling to the Romanian capital, Joly had released her Indo-Pacific strategy, a much-hyped blueprint that lays out how Canada will deal with rising powers like India and China in a massive stretch of the globe.
Arab states condemn Wilders for push to relocate Palestinians to Jordan
Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League on Saturday condemned statements by Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right politician who won this week’s election in the Netherlands, that Palestinians should be relocated to Jordan.
The Palestinian Authority labeled the statements as “a call to escalate the aggression against our people and a blatant interference in their affairs and future,” the Wafa news agency reported.
Politics reporters continue to struggle with the Poilievre phenomenon
On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre stood in the House of Commons, noted “media reports about a terrorist attack at the border in Niagara (Falls),” and asked if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had any information he could share. The prime minster did not, to no one’s surprise, the incident having only just occurred.
Later in the afternoon, American officials said they were pretty sure the fiery one-car crash had just been a bizarre accident. And back we all went to finding serious solutions for Canada’s many serious problems.

Revealed: King Charles secretly profiting from the assets of dead citizens
The king is profiting from the deaths of thousands of people in the north-west of England whose assets are secretly being used to upgrade a commercial property empire managed by his hereditary estate, the Guardian can reveal.
The Duchy of Lancaster, a controversial land and property estate that generates huge profits for King Charles III, has collected tens of millions of pounds in recent years under an antiquated system that dates back to feudal times.
Financial assets known as bona vacantia, owned by people who died without a will or known next of kin, are collected by the duchy. Over the last 10 years, it has collected more than £60m in the funds. It has long claimed that, after deducting costs, bona vacantia revenues are donated to charities.
CBC concerned that parents not groomers have rights …
Does Saskatchewan’s Parents’ Bill of Rights help parents or misguide them?
It’s been more than a month since Saskatchewan used the notwithstanding clause to make its Parents’ Bill of Rights Canada’s first provincial education law that could limit gender identity in schools. But the debate around it as intense as ever with a now-moot constitutional challenge still moving forward in the new year.
“Parental rights means I have the ability to create a safe environment for my child to grow up,” said Dustin Mathies, a father of two in Swift Current, Sask., who supports the law. “One of the biggest things is having control over what my kids are hearing, what they’re learning.”
But others say the law does more harm than good.
The first person quoted supports her child’s gender confusion. They’re the worst.
POLL: Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris Leading Candidates If Biden Cannot run
There is a lot of speculation about Joe Biden possibly stepping down and not running for re-election.
Mind you, this is all wishful thinking on the part of Democrats and voters who want a younger option because Joe Biden has given no inclination that he plans on stepping aside.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau Liberals keep proving they don’t care about housing crisis
The federal Liberals’ housing announcements are nothing if not predictable. Their lead up tends to involve much pomp and circumstance, only for the payoff to be an inevitable letdown.
See: former housing minister Ahmed Hussen, who had a habit of scheduling press events to reveal plans for a couple dozen new units in a country where the housing deficit is well over five million units.

Government Support Programs Don’t Help Combat Poverty: Fraser Institute
A new commentary on Canada’s support system for low-income households says many of the programs perpetuate dependency and don’t help people do what is needed to get out of poverty.

Why Germany banned Hamas and pro-Palestinian group Samidoun
The German security authorities carried out raids against suspected supporters of Hamas — a militant Islamist organization categorized as a terrorist organization by Germany, the EU, and some other countries — and the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network this week. Properties were searched in four states, with a focus on Berlin.
The move is an attempt to enforce the ban issued by German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser on November 2. “By banning Hamas and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any kind of glorification or support for Hamas’ barbaric terror against Israel,” said Faeser about the raids.
