Canadian delegation, including 6 MPs, denied entry into West Bank over alleged link to Israel-designated ‘terror entity’

OTTAWA—The Israeli embassy in Ottawa says a group that included six Canadian MPs was denied entry into the occupied West Bank on Tuesday because of an alleged financial link to an aid organization Israel considers a “terror entity.”

In a statement to the Star, Israeli embassy spokesperson Yifah Mivtach Greenvald said the group that organized the trip — Canadian Muslim Vote — receives the “vast majority” of its funding from Islamic Relief Canada, which Greenvald said is a subsidiary of Islamic Relief Worldwide, a listed terror entity in Israel.

Canada has not designated the group on its own terror list.

What we know about the Bondi gunmen

Two gunmen – identified by authorities as a father and son – opened fire on hundreds of people marking a Hanukkah event on Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday, killing 15 and leaving 27 in hospital with injuries.

The father was killed in an exchange of fire with police at the scene while the son is in hospital with critical injuries.

Among the victims of the country’s worst mass shooting in decades, which targeted Jewish people and is being treated as a terrorist incident, are a 10-year-old girl, a Holocaust survivor and two rabbis.

The attackers are both said to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group. Here is what we know about them.

JÄGER: Canada’s public transportation is a national embarrassment

Canada is, by nearly all measures, a developed nation. I say nearly because trying to get anywhere in this great land without a car is a humiliation ritual — a stark reminder that when it comes to transportation infrastructure, we have unequivocally failed to live up to expectations.

The same country that managed to construct a railway from coast to coast in record time — in the nineteenth century no less — now struggles to move past the concept stage on anything but the simplest of projects. Barriers are no longer towering mountains or raging rivers, but bureaucracy and refusal to dream big.

‘He’s a good boy’: Mother of alleged Bondi shooter says she believes he is innocent

Verena Akram, the mother of 24-year-old suspected Bondi gunman Naveed Akram, said she didn’t believe her son could be involved in the attack on Sydney’s Jewish community on Sunday, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“He doesn’t have a firearm. He doesn’t even go out. He doesn’t mix around with friends. He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t go to bad places … he goes to work, he comes home, he goes to exercise and that’s it,” she claimed.

As Average Home Prices Slide in Canada’s Major Cities, How Far Off Is the Next Boom?

Canadian real estate prices in several major urban centres have declined considerably since 2022, when they soared to record highs during the pandemic. As home prices continue falling in major markets across the country, the question now is whether–or when—the bidding-war era of rising home prices will return.

Average home prices in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are down over 20 percent since 2022, and down around 11 percent below the 2022 peak in the Greater Vancouver Area. Meanwhile, forced sales have risen sharply in Ontario in the last six months. Some experts say it could be the early 2030s before the 2022 peaks are seen again.

‘What if he was alive?’: Man’s body went unnoticed for days outside a Toronto hospital. His family wants answers

It’s unclear when Thomas Choy died inside the black Volkswagen parked steps away from Humber River Hospital.

From the little Choy’s family has been told by police, the Volkswagen drove up to the entrance of the emergency department at the North York hospital sometime on Sunday, Dec. 6, where it remained for more than three days until Choy’s body was discovered inside.

“I can’t stop thinking, what if he was still alive, slowly dying in the cold? And for how long?” Choy’s sister, Lang Choy, told the Star on Saturday. “Maybe they could have helped him.”

Donald Trump sues BBC for $10bn

Donald Trump has filed a $10bn (£7.4bn) lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of defamation.

The US president’s lawyers filed court papers in Florida on Monday over a doctored speech that made Mr Trump appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot.

In November, The Telegraph disclosed that Panorama spliced together parts of an address given by Mr Trump on Jan 6 2021, before some of his supporters attacked the US Capitol building. The edit omitted Mr Trump’s calls for people to march “peacefully”.

US tells Ukraine: Take our ‘platinum’ security guarantees or lose them

The United States told Ukraine to accept its “platinum” offer of security guarantees or risk losing them completely.

US officials said Nato-style guarantees were on offer on Monday in Germany, at peace talks that could end the war if Ukraine agrees to cede territory to Russia.

But they also warned that “those guarantees will not be on the table forever”, in an apparent ultimatum to Volodymr Zelensky to agree to the terms.

Canadian military intelligence officer allegedly shared classified information with Ukraine

Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar – Is that a Ponytail?

A Canadian military counter-intelligence officer who is facing charges of espionage was allegedly sharing special operational secrets with Ukraine without the approval of his superiors, The Globe and Mail has learned.

Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar was arrested last week and charged with multiple offences related to passing highly sensitive government secrets to a foreign entity. But the military has not said publicly which country the foreign entity helped.

That country was also not named Monday in military court, where MWO Robar made a brief appearance. But a source told The Globe that the veteran intelligence officer believed he was helping Ukraine in its war against Russia.

Canada is so over run by infiltrators of all stripes we should just provide open door access.
