Israel: Cabinet approves partial hostage deal in late night vote

The government approved early Wednesday morning a partial hostage deal that includes a pause in the Gaza war in exchange for a release of up to 80 out of over 239 people seized by terrorists during Hamas’ infiltration of southern Israel on October 7.

“We have a difficult decision before us tonight, but it is a correct decision,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of the meeting.

‘Decolonisation’: A Polite Word for Ethnic Cleansing

For the people most attached to the rallying cry, ‘diversity’ simply means ‘less white.’

Some of us have been warning for quite some time that ‘decolonisation’ is about more than taking umbrage at the sight of certain statues. It can mean murder. While Hamas terrorists were busy massacring Jews—their perceived ‘colonisers’—on the 7th of October, many a post-colonial hack did us all a favour by making it clear that such barbarism is not only consistent with their worldview, but the logical consequence of it.

The Liberals’ defence policy hits a fiscal wall but funds will remain available to cut your dick off

There was a revelatory moment on the weekend as Defence Minister Bill Blair attempted to bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality in the Liberal government’s spending plans for his department and the Canadian military.

Asked about an anticipated (and long overdue) update to the country’s defence policy (supposedly made urgent two years ago by Russia’s full-on invasion of Ukraine), Blair acknowledged that the reset is now being viewed through a fiscal lens.

But the cut off your dick or tits budget will remain untouched.

Ontario woman says her dying grandma was asked to leave the hospital after she outlived her cancer prognosis

An Ontario woman who has outlived her stage four lung cancer prognosis was asked last Thursday to leave the hospital to free up space, leaving her family scrambling to find accommodations, the woman’s grandchildren say.

For months, Miranda Newman and her brother, Adam Luciano, who are joint power of attorneys, have navigated the labyrinthine hospital system as they care for their grandmother, 77-year-old Kathy Luciano. Admitted to a GTA-based hospital following a heart attack in July, Luciano was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer in August, along with pericardial effusion and fluid in her lungs.

What a nightmare.

Hundreds of South Koreans expected to work at the NextStar EV battery factory in Windsor, Ont., are legally eligible to work in Canada under a 2015 free trade agreement negotiated and implemented by Stephen Harper’s former Conservative government.

What Hamas did to Israeli women deserves only one punishment: death

The hypocrite feminists launch campaigns for “pink quotas”, for “inclusive writing”, for the prices of pads, for “neutral pronouns”, to overcome the “patriarchy”, to pass laws against those who whistle at a girl on the street, believe every claim on #MeToo – and they don’t say a word about it.

“A woman was raped surrounded by her dead friends. Another had her breasts cut off and the terrorists played with them. A Holocaust survivor saw her granddaughter raped and murdered. A fourteen-year-old girl was found with her legs spread and semen on her back. She had been shot in the head. Most of the women were shot multiple times in the head. Some bodies were so badly damaged that after three days blood was still dripping. They mutilated the genitals of several women.”

Our Intellectual Inheritance Among the Current Protests

What is our response to graffiti on American landmarks?

Conservatives speak of our intellectual inheritance. As a child may receive his grandfather’s pocket watch or the family farm, so all of us have received as our inheritance the literary and historical treasures of the American experience. America’s literary works, its ideas of human dignity and individual rights, and the boundless social mobility and opportunities we have in the United States are all treasures akin to the family estate we’ve received by virtue of living, working, and learning in America. This heritage continues to shape us by having formed the country we live in and constituting the freedoms we enjoy now.

Ontario man told new EV battery would cost more than $50,000

Simrat Sooch of Stoney Creek, Ont., was a true believer in electric vehicles.

“The first one I had was very reliable,” said Sooch, so he didn’t hesitate to trade up.

He bought a 2017 Ioniq made by Hyundai. Sooch was its second owner. The vehicle had already been driven 69,000 kilometres but the warranty covering the electric charging system and battery was good for 160,000 kilometres.

A 2024 Trump Victory Looms and the Left Latches on to Trump’s ‘Fascism’ As a Campaign Theme

With more and more polls showing former President Trump building an insuperable lead over incumbent Joe Biden, the leftist media has become increasingly shrill and panicked over the return of Trump to the White House and what that will mean for them. Their fears often take on a psycho-sexual nature as they seem to visualize themselves at risk of being marched off to extermination camps or heroically staring down a conservative firing squad.

Foreign states targeting Canadians through social media, CSIS warns

Foreign threat actors and foreign terrorist groups are using the social media feeds of Canadians to profile individuals and magnify misinformation, officials from Canada’s spy agency warned members of Parliament Monday.

Cherie Henderson, an assistant director with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), warned that hostile foreign actors aren’t waiting for elections to interfere in Canada.

“Foreign interference doesn’t just occur during an election,” Henderson told members of the House of Commons committee on access to information, privacy and ethics. “Foreign interference occurs all the time, every day.”
