Jewish groups call on Trudeau to clarify Gaza blast comments, Canada won’t comment on culpability
Facing calls to clarify his previous comments, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday the Canadian government is working “rapidly” with allies to determine exactly what happened in the Gaza hospital blast that’s become a point of contention amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Calling it “the destruction of the hospital,” Trudeau said Canada is taking the time needed to investigate “carefully” beyond the “preliminary evidence” before reaching any final conclusions.
Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses
Amazon is experimenting with a humanoid robot as the technology company increasingly seeks to automate its warehouses.
It has started testing Digit, a two-legged robot that can grasp and lift items, at facilities this week. The device is first being used to shift empty tote boxes.
The company’s ambitious drive to integrate robotics across its sprawling operation has sparked fears about the effect on its workforce of almost 1.5 million humans.
Inevitable.
Canada Will Legalize Medically Assisted Dying For People Addicted to Drugs
Canada will legalize medically assisted dying for people who are addicted to drugs next spring, in a move some drug users and activists are calling “eugenics.”
The country’s medical assistance in dying (MAID) law, which first came into effect in 2016, will be expanded next March to give access to people whose sole medical condition is mental illness, which can include substance use disorders. Before the changes take place, however, a special parliamentary committee on MAID will regroup to scrutinize the rollout of the new regulations, according to the Toronto Star.

Blundering White House shares identities of secret hostage rescue unit in Israel
The White House has apologised for accidentally sharing the identities of elite US forces helping to find and rescue hostages being held by Hamas.
A small group of the Army’s elite counter-terrorism unit is in Israel advising on the hostage situation, with around 200 people, including a dozen Americans, held captive by the terrorists in Gaza.
John Robson: To stop the poisonous radicalism within academia, privatize universities
Many people were surprised at the slaughter, torture and rape inflicted by Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Israel. Arguably they shouldn’t have been, but at least they’re now waking up. But as Israel braces for the gruesome task of rooting jihadis out of Gaza, we also need to wake up to the poisonous radicalism within academia, from cancel culture, critical race theory and “decolonization” to a shocking amount of support for murderous antisemitic atrocities. And happily it’s easy to root out: just privatize the universities.
Just a friendly reminder from the Palestinian Authority …

Israeli community frozen as Hamas atrocities continue to emerge
They are still finding bodies in the neighbourhoods near Gaza.
Recovery teams on Wednesday pulled a woman’s body from the rubble in Kibbutz Be’eri. She was naked, her feet bound with metal wire.
One of the team said the bodies of more than 20 children had been found nearby, tied together and burned.
Even experienced workers are struggling: deaths like this are enough to break the living.
Avi Benlolo: Trudeau Liberals leave world questioning whose side Canada is on — the terrorists or their victims?
The heinous Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel left many Canadians, particularly in the Jewish community, deeply shocked and concerned about the questionable tone coming from our government.
This week, a number of world leaders have visited Israel to show their solidarity with the Jewish state. However, Canada’s response has been marked by efforts to evacuate its citizens from the region and a pledge of $10 million in aid to both sides, reflecting a faulty and shameful desire for neutrality.
Liberal Jews Thought Progressives Were An Ally, They Thought Wrong
“I’ve seen this and I’ve heard this, a lot of people are shocked that the antisemitism is coming from the left because they’ve been spoonfed by the media and by their universities and by the newspapers that antisemitism is a MAGA thing. Antisemitism is people running around in Chicago at night attacking Jusse Smollet with a red hat on. I mean, they’ve been fed a fantasy.”
Take a look at these lower class mouth-breathing right-wing redneck anti-semites:

MANDEL: No more house arrest for ISIS bride repatriated from Syria
When ISIS bride Dure Ahmed left Toronto for the caliphate in Syria, she insists she had no clue what her notorious husband was up to, including the kidnapping and savage beheading of American journalist James Foley.
According to a recent interview she gave to the CBC and BBC, Ahmed claims she was “oblivious to what was going on” while her then-British husband El Shafee Elsheikh was committing atrocities as part of the British-accented ISIS terror cell known as “the Beatles.”
This is the drug Hamas terrorists took to help them slaughter Israelis
Hamas terrorists who carried out a surprise attack on October 7 were found to be under the influence of Captagon, a synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant that has been clandestinely produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the consumer markets on the Arabian Peninsula, as reported by Nir Dvori of Channel 12.

Anthony Furey: A Woke Move From the Military on Remembrance Day
There are few if any military occasions as connected to spirituality and religion as Remembrance Day. While we gather to mark all of those who served, the playing of the Last Post reminds us that our most solemn thoughts are reserved for those who made the ultimate sacrifice and did not return.
We honour the dead. And, for many, we honour the dead in part through prayer. The Canadian Armed Forces has a chaplain program, where, in their own words, chaplains “are responsible for fostering the spiritual, religious, and pastoral care of CAF members.”
