The Department of National Defence has confirmed that chaplains can’t use the word “God” during official ceremonies such as Remembrance Day.
This follows Defence Minister Bill Blair’s dismissal as “misinformation” assertions by the Conservatives that military chaplains are being prohibited from saying prayers at Remembrance Day ceremonies.
The Israel-Palestine conflict has not caused a Democratic exodus
Despite sections of the American Left coddling Hamas and criticising Israel in the wake of the former’s atrocities against Israeli civilians, most American Jews do not appear likely to follow co-religionists such as Jared Kushner or Steven Miller into the Republican camp.

Canadians are trying to tell Justin Trudeau to leave and not let the door hit him on the way out – but the PM just won’t take the hint.
Russia is exploiting and fomenting a wave of Islamist propaganda against Sweden, the head of Sweden’s counter-disinformation agency has told The Times.
Sweden has been confronted with a storm of anger across large parts of the Islamic world, driven by a series of Quran burnings and conspiracy theories claiming that the Swedish authorities are forcibly removing children from Muslim families.
Trudeau acknowledges Liberal caucus divide over Israel-Hamas war. Says differences are ‘a source of strength’
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that MPs, including from his own caucus, are reflecting “very real fears and concerns” amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, but called on them to remind Canadians that diversity is a “source of strength.”
Justin will lick Satan’s ass for a vote.

An American mother and daughter became the first hostages to be freed by Hamas on Friday night in “a sign of goodwill”.
They were identified by the Israeli military as Judith Raanan, who is believed to be in her 60s, and her 17-year-old daughter Natalie, who were visiting family living in a Kibbutz close to the Gaza Strip when Hamas attacked.
Joe Biden said the pair “endured a terrible ordeal these past 14 days, and I am overjoyed that they will soon be reunited with their family, who has been wracked with fear.
The Canada Border Services Agency says more than 29,000 foreign fugitives are at large in the country, reports Blacklock’s Reporter.
In a report to MPs, management called the 29,248 “wanted inventory” and the lengthy list includes foreigners convicted of crimes.
When Canadians took to the streets in the thousands to protest the education system’s desire to cut them out of their children’s lives, there was a vast chorus of boos.
All kinds of agencies, companies, and associations issued statements and transmitted them on social media to show their solidarity with members of the LGBTQS2 communities who may have felt unsafe after seeing folks demand to be informed if their child wish to be called Joan instead of John, or Fatima instead of Fazil.
As the head of Detroit’s Jewish Community Relations Council for the last four years, Rabbi Asher Lopatin said he has tried to build a working relationship with Rashida Tlaib, the far-left anti-Israel congresswoman who represents the state’s twelfth congressional district.
Yazmeen Deyhimi’s journey from a young ADL ‘No Place for Hate’ intern to Hamas campaigner to apologizing on social media is a study in the profound political confusion of the campus woke
Yazmeen Deyhimi, who the organization Stop Antisemitism identified as one of two New York University students caught on video tearing down flyers depicting the faces of people Hamas kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, began volunteering for the Anti-Defamation League when she was just a freshman in high school. While still a young teen, she “took part in the ADL Peer Training Program,” according to a short biography of Deyhimi included in the ADL of New York and New Jersey’s announcement of its 2019 high school summer intern class. “She quickly joined the No Place for Hate Committee and has been committed to help facilitate events such as Unity and Equality Days,” the blurb continued.
The function of the police, one might have thought, was to protect the weak against the overbearing and the bullying. Unfortunately, a by-product of the Gaza crisis has been to suggest that, at least on the streets of London, a bit of carefully targeted thuggery against your political opponents can pay useful dividends.
For some days now, the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) has been raising awareness of the plight of abducted Israelis in Gaza by driving display vans around iconic parts of London. These vans are fitted with electronic billboards on the sides and back containing the names of children taken by Hamas from Israel a couple of weeks ago, and still holed up (assuming they are alive) in the Gaza Strip.
The values that built la République are crumbling
It is characteristic of France’s self-absorption that what started as a national sense of outrage at the latest Islamist killing on our soil soon evolved into a bitter scuffle between present and past tough-talking Home Secretaries. Last Friday, Dominique Bernard, a 57-year-old French literature teacher at a state Lycée in Arras, was stabbed to death by a 20-year-old Chechen former pupil, Mohammed Mogouchkov, shouting “Allahu Akbar” as Bernard tried to prevent him from entering the school’s main building. Three years almost to the day, it felt like a terrible repetition of the killing and beheading of another teacher, Samuel Paty, in a west Paris suburb.
If Americans do not have good background history, or very good intuition and common sense, it is increasingly difficult to cognitively negotiate the mainstream media war ‘news’ since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
Our gut tells us that we must sort this one out, quickly. Concurrently, our decision-making as a free people is being hijacked by the leftist Democrats’ neurotic permaglue in massing to support the indefensible, e.g., the horror of Hamas (this leftist germinally fascistic stance that might also serve them well, briefly, as ‘socialists’).
Putting these phenomenally purblind Democrats aside, let’s look at what happened this week in Palestine.
In 2019, Yousra Fazili addressed a congressional hearing to complain about the arrest of her cousin by Indian authorities. The woman who now serves as Chief of Staff for the Pentagon Comptroller claimed that her cousin was the innocent victim of oppressive Indian authorities.
In a field close to the Gaza border a young female conscript is preparing for action.
Just a fortnight ago she was working in an advertising agency in Tel Aviv, now she is heading for the hell that is Gaza – and its Hamas terrorists.
‘It’s pretty different from what I was doing two weeks ago, that’s for sure. But everything changed on October 7,’ she said, referring to the slaughter of 1,400 of her fellow citizens by Hamas. ‘This is our fight for survival. We are trained for this and we will win.’
