The BBC, the British equivalent of the CBC, has promised to stop calling Hamas a “militant” group and refer to the rulers of the Gaza Strip as “a terrorist organization proscribed by the U.K. government.”
That’s a bit passive-aggressive. The Beeb seems to be making the change reluctantly based on the technicality that the UK government (and just about every other government in the developed world) has designated Hamas as terrorists.
CONFIRMED: Govt Working to Completely Eliminate Legal Handgun Ownership in Canada

Germany’s public prosecutor has launched an investigation into a suspected plan to carry out an Islamist attack, its office in Dusseldorf said on Wednesday.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the 29-year-old man, who prosecutors say allegedly agreed with a chat partner in Syria to carry out an Islamist-motivated attack on a pro-Israel demonstration.
A man was detained on Tuesday after police showed up to his apartment in the western German city of Duisburg.
Good thing they don’t coddle terrorists in Germany.
Amid growing dissent, will Canada change its immigration plans?
Canada is set to unveil the latest targets for how many new residents it hopes to welcome in the coming years.
The annual announcement of permanent resident levels, something Immigration Minister Marc Miller must do in Parliament on or before Nov. 1, is the kind of dry fare that has traditionally drawn little attention, serving largely as a governmental formality amid high levels of public support for immigration.
… NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan said she’s concerned about the backlash against the immigrant community.
“No good will come out of that because we have already lived through racism and discrimination in Canada’s history,” she said. “The government has to have a housing plan and an infrastructure plan for our community.”
The usual Liberal propaganda from the Star. Apparently Canadians are too dumb to realize that unaffordable housing and a rapidly declining standard of living is good for them.
Their “experts” are the usual spokesman for the corporate class who crave depressed wages and love the thought of profiteering from the shortages mass immigration brings.
Corporate Canada should have no say in immigration policy like our politicians they are insulated from the negative impact mass immgration has on society.
How do you think we ended up with thousands of Hamas supporters in our streets?
Corporate Canada doesn’t care where the bodies come from, they’re just fodder for the machine.
The usual garbage “analysis” is thrown up i.e. immigrants are necessary for economic growth.
They fail to mention that immigrants themselves age and thus are not a fix for Canada’s aging demographic or that Canada no longer attracts the “younger immigrant” that can give as much as they take over the course of their working lives.
Our immigration policy is so sick that most granted permanent resident status can’t even be bothered to take out Canadian citizenship any longer because we’re just a waystation on the route to greener pastures to them: In 2021, of the permanent residents who had come to Canada within the last 10 years, just 45.7 per cent had become citizens. In 2001, that figure was 75.1 per cent.
The cost of family reunification with grandma and grandpa to Canada? Not mentioned.
They lie about a non-existent labour shortage and make no mention of how mass immigration depresses wages.
The impact of Automation and AI on employment? Not a factor in Star land!
But they do let you know that you’re a racist for daring to defend your own best interests.

A vigil for Baby killers. What a country.
Israel has released a horrifying audio clip of what it claims is a Hamas terrorist bragging to his parents about how he slaughtered Jews in an Israeli kibbutz on October 7.
The audio, played yesterday at a United Nations meeting in New York by Israel’s Foreign Minister, hears how a gunman allegedly took the phone of one of his Israeli victims to call his mother and father and tell them about his exploits in Mefalsim.
‘Dad I am inside Mefalsim. Open your WhatsApp right now, and see all the ones I killed. Look at how many I killed with my own hands – your son killed Jews!’ he exclaims.
Over the weekend, Ontario Premier Doug Ford issued a letter calling on the Bank of Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to halt any upcoming interest rate hikes.
“There is simply no excuse for increasing the already crushing pressure previous interest rate hikes have placed on so many families and businesses,” Ford said.
Shamima Begum a victim of trafficking when she left Britain for Syria, court told
Shamima Begum’s lawyers argued before the court of appeal on Tuesday that it was unlawful to deprive her of British citizenship because she was a victim of trafficking when she left the UK for Islamic State territory in Syria at 15.
Samantha Knights KC, her barrister, told the start of a three-day hearing that the Home Office and a lower court had failed to properly consider whether she was groomed – and called for the decision to be overturned.
The Federal Court has approved a $23 billion settlement agreement — the largest in Canadian history — for First Nations children and families who experienced racial discrimination through Ottawa’s chronic underfunding of the on-reserve foster care system and other family services.
The settlement agreement follows a 2019 Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) ruling that ordered Ottawa to pay the maximum human rights penalty for discrimination: $40,000 for each affected First Nations child and family member.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen accused UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of justifying Hamas’ October 7 attack and canceled his meeting with him.
“I will not meet with the UN secretary-general. After October 7, there is no room for a balanced approach. Hamas must be erased from the world!” Cohen stated.
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan called for him to resign.
Like millions of people around the world, I woke up to the devastating news from southern Israel over Thanksgiving weekend. Hundreds of innocent civilians had been murdered by Hamas terrorists, carried out in the name of the complete and total destruction of the State of Israel. My mind went immediately to my friends in the area. I could only hope, powerlessly, that they were safe.
Only a few have had the chance to witness the extraordinary actions of the Caracal Battalion during their battle against Hamas terrorists.
Lt.-Col. Or Ben-Yehuda, the commander of this unit, now recounts her experiences in the southern Gaza Strip, where her battalion eliminated approximately 100 terrorists. She also has a clear message for those who question the capabilities of female fighters in the Caracal (Desert Lynx) and Tank Battalion.
A group of law students at Toronto Metropolitan University has declared its “unequivocal support” for Palestinians and “all forms of Palestinian resistance” in a letter demanding that administration alter its “neutral” position on the violence in the Middle East.
The open letter, authored by the “Abolitionist Organizing Collective” and signed by about 74 law school students, triggered a backlash after being posted online Friday and has since been taken down.
Within any group of 150 people there are bound to be differing views on the current conflict in the Middle East. Even the average individual is likely to have conflicting feelings about the unfolding war between Israel and Hamas — about the need to respond to the atrocities committed against innocent civilians and about the deaths of innocent civilians caught up in the response.
So it’s not at all surprising that there are 23 people (at least) in the Liberal caucus who would like Canada to officially call for a ceasefire. It would be more surprising if there were absolutely no disagreements among the 158 Liberal MPs on such a fraught and serious matter.
Giving terrorists a state only leads to more terrorism.
“We must keep pursuing peace. We must keep pursuing a path so that Israel and the Palestinian people can both live safely, in security, in dignity, and in peace. For me, that means a two-state solution,” Biden lectured Israelis during his visit.
A two state solution dividing up Israel into a state for the Jews and a state for the Muslim terrorists has been on the minds of Biden, administration officials, EU leaders and the media.
