Toronto man accused of killing ‘random strangers’ found guilty

A Toronto man who accidentally killed his boyhood friend while they were out shooting random people — including an innocent man who died on his birthday — has been convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder.

On Oct. 1, 2019, Jeziah Blair-Taylor, Eric Rowe, and a third man (whose case is still before the courts) opened fire in three separate locations within 75 minutes in an area bounded by Finch Avenue W. to the north, Sheppard Avenue W. to the south, a short distance west of Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue to the east.

For first time since 2015, next election expected to be a referendum on Trudeau’s leadership, say political players

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to power eight years ago and has won three back-to-back elections, but veteran political strategists and political insiders say the next election will be the first time when Canadians will vote on the prime minister’s leadership and his record, say some veteran political strategists.

But others say it’s too early to predict the ballot question as it could also hinge on whether Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (Carleton, Ont.) is a “risky choice” to become prime minister.

Vivian Bercovici: Canada leaves its citizens adrift in Israeli chaos

Since 7 a.m. Saturday, when I was jolted awake with the news that Israel was at war, I have slept six hours. And I needed a pill for that. Make that two.

Everything is a blur of mounting horror. It is humanly impossible to absorb the scope of grotesque Hamas barbarism. I am in Canada and was meant to fly back to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. That won’t be happening.

The Jews are not to blame for Hamas’s barbarism in Israel

Israelophobia is the newest form of the oldest hatred

“Victim blaming” is one of the sins that is most deplored by the social justice movement. When it comes to the Jews, however, different rules seem to apply, at least when it comes to rape, murder and mutilation.

The events of the past few days could not have been more clear-cut. This was an unprovoked assault by Islamist fanatics who rampaged across southern Israel, reveling in savagery against the innocent. The atrocities you have seen on television have been the tip of the iceberg. Women have been butchered, their bodies paraded and desecrated, while grandmothers have been kidnapped with their carers and executed. Families have been gunned down in bomb shelters. Babies and children have been dragged away into captivity in Gaza. There has been at least one apparent beheading. Israeli forces were caught napping. Yet the tone of some of the coverage has suggested that the Jews deserved it.

Indigenous Slavers: American Indians Who Whipped and Owned Blacks

You won’t learn about Indigenous slaveholders from our textbooks.

As leftists look to cancel Christopher Columbus and today’s annual holiday commemorating him — that is, the man who discovered this land that is the United States of America — they’re also looking to replace the great explorer with a day of their own. That new day for these cultural revolutionaries, celebrated all the way up to the level of their president, one Joseph Robinette Biden, is something called Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

How ironic this is.

Murdering Euphemism: How Hamas finally exposed the mainstream media’s apologia

A noticeable disparity often exists between the media’s portrayal of Palestinian terrorist organizations and the actions of the terrorists themselves. Nowhere has this phenomenon been more evident than in Israel’s longstanding war with Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist group ruling the Gaza Strip. However, in the wake of Hamas’s executing the deadliest attack in Israel’s history on Saturday, October 7, and Israel’s subsequent announcement of a full-scale war, this facade is finally beginning to unravel. In order to hasten the process, it’s worth understanding how these distorted narratives are perpetuated in the first place.

Hamas hostages: ‘My wife and children have been taken to Gaza’

The first inkling Yoni Asher had that his family were inside Gaza was by tracking his wife’s mobile phone.

His wife Doron and their two children Raz, 5, and Aviv, 3, were staying with relatives close to the border with Gaza when the militants struck.

Yoni told the BBC: “Saturday, around 10:30 in the morning, was the last call when I spoke with my wife. She told me that terrorists from Hamas had entered the house.

Palestinians’ War on Israel and US Senators’ Delusional ‘Two-State Solution’

Less than 48 hours after 20 US Democratic Senators urged President Joe Biden to push for the establishment of a Palestinian state as part of a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Iran’s Palestinian terror proxies launched a massive attack on Israel, killing more than 700 Israeli men, women and children, and wounding thousands more. An unknown number of Israelis (estimated at more than 100), including infants, toddlers and an elderly Holocaust survivor in a wheelchair, have also been kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip.

Hostin Looks to Blame Israelis for Hamas’s Barbarism Against Civilians

One would think that Hamas’s terrorism campaign, which included kidnapping Israeli women to rape and murder, would mean all the ladies at the table of ABC’s The View would be in lock-step opposition to the group. But on Monday’s edition of the show, chronically aggrieved and staunchly racist Sunny Hostin tried to weasel in a way to blame Israel and the victims of the attacks for giving Hamas a reason to do what they did.

Luckily, Hostin was the odd one out. She was the fourth person to ask questions of ABC foreign correspondent James Longman, who was live in front of the rubble of a destroyed building in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Canada’s developers are building less housing despite crunch, a new study says. That could keep prices up

Despite a desperate need for new housing, Canada’s developers are building fewer homes than they were at the height of pandemic lockdowns, a new study says – and experts say that could mean a generation of Canadians won’t be able to afford homes for most of their adult lives.

Inflation and the Bank of Canada’s response to it, has been the main reason for the slowdown, according to David Macdonald, a senior economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).

The new decline in housing development started last year, when the Bank of Canada started to raise interest rates to cool the economy and combat inflation, Macdonald found in a new report for CCPA.

Look what Volkswagen and Stelantis got. Makes sense to have Junior come begging.
