Jesse Kline: Trudeau’s failure of moral leadership on violence against Jews

If there is ever a time that calls for clear moral leadership, a moment in which evil acts committed by evil men should be unambiguously denounced, it’s when innocents are targeted by violence, at home and abroad.

Yet this is apparently too much to ask of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose wishy-washy statements about attacks perpetrated against Canadian Jews and commitment to false equivalencies about the Israel-Hamas War show he is more interested in appeasing certain voting blocs than defending the values he purportedly stands for.

Charges following Calgary weekend rally rare according to criminal expert

Calgary police say that during a rally on Sunday a man took to the stage to speak to the large crowd in attendance and that he repeatedly used an antisemitic phrase while encouraging the crowd to follow along.

After consultation with the Calgary Police Service hate crimes coordinator, the man was charged with causing a disturbance and hate motivation has been applied to the charge.

On Tuesday, police announced Wesam Cooley was charged following the Sunday protests supporting Israel and Palestinians.

Seems destined to fail.

Canada’s prosperity problem points to a lower-wage future

Thirty years ago, Canada could be rightly thought of as one of the more prosperous countries in the world. Canadians were not quite as rich as Americans, but we had many other advantages – and were better off than pretty much everyone else.

That’s the past. The present and future look to be a great deal less pleasant: Canada is not just losing ground relative to other countries but there is an increasing likelihood of an outright decline in living standards.

But bringing in a Million migrants a year is a great idea.

Antisemitism takes over the French left

What has made life so frightening for French Jews, is that hate lurks in the most unexpected places

France’s most infamous antisemite is back in the headlines. At the weekend, the president of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella, declared in an interview that he didn’t believe Jean-Marie Le Pen was an antisemite. This came as a surprise to many given that the ninety-five-year-old Le Pen, who founded the National Front in 1972, has been condemned on six occasions by French courts for just such bigotry.

SBF – or the ‘crypto king’, as he is sometimes known – was arrested last year when FTX went bankrupt and some $8 billion in customer funds went missing. He now faces decades in jail.

Hamas terrorists gang-raped an Israeli woman before one shot her in the back of the head while he was still having sex with her, according to horrifying witness testimony.

The investigations are part of the force’s effort to prosecute Hamas terrorists who were captured during the attack on October 7, which left more than 1,400 Israelis dead.
