Mayor Olivia Chow says Toronto’s police chief has had his hands tied by a “lawyer at headquarters” who tells him he can’t pursue criminal counts on many suspects involved in alleged antisemitism.
Mayor Olivia Chow is now passing the buck regarding protests arrests, giving the responsibility to @TPSMyronDemkiw while claiming it’s all the Crown’s fault for throwing away the charges.
Do you agree this to be the case? 🧐pic.twitter.com/gR80iJJ6Lr

MANY Britons will know of Bondi Beach. Some will know it directly, as it is a haven for visiting Brits and those who now make Australia home. Especially on Christmas Day, where there is generally much merriment. If Rudi Giuliani was America’s mayor, then Bondi is Australia’s beach.
Mulled wine and Heckler & Koch assault rifles don’t belong together, except in Christmas films like Die Hard. Festive visitors to Christmas markets in Berlin, London or Strasbourg this year will notice the pairing all the same. Concrete blocks surround fairy lights, and the scent of cloves and cinnamon wafts over armed police carrying submachine guns.
Since an Islamist drove a lorry into the Breitscheidplatz market in Berlin in December 2016, killing twelve and injuring dozens, we deck the halls with blast protection. There are still tacky wooden chalets selling sausages, but they are now often surrounded by steel posts, truck-proof planters, and one-way systems designed to stop SUVs achieving murderous velocities before hitting crash barriers.
When MP Roman Baber rose in the House of Commons on 17 November to table Bill C-257, he was not just tinkering with legal technicalities. His proposal would create a new Criminal Code offence of “wilfully promoting a terrorist activity or a terrorist group,” punishable by up to five years in prison and classified as a terrorism offence. In plain language, Parliament is being asked whether glorifying terrorism from Canadian soil should itself be treated as a terrorism crime.
Supporters, including organizations such as the Canadian Jewish Law Association and B’nai Brith Canada, say the bill fills a dangerous gap exposed by rallies and online content that appear to praise Hamas and other listed entities. Critics worry about overreach and the chilling of legitimate protest.
Curtailing speech is always a double edged sword and our history with such measures typically results in attacks on Canadian heritage and values.
Australia once thought of itself as the most peaceful multicultural nation on Earth. Not anymore.
The anti-Semitism that drove Alexander Kleytman to seek sanctity in Australia finally caught up with him. Kleytman fled Ukraine as a child with his mother to escape the unspeakable terror of the Holocaust. They survived sub-zero temperatures and near starvation in Siberia, counting themselves lucky to be alive. Yesterday, at the age of 87, he was killed by a jihadist’s bullet on a warm summer evening at Bondi Beach in front of his grandchildren.
This weekend, two stories revealed some troubling aspects of the surrogacy industry: one from the shiny, expensive high-end American market, and one from the grimy, Second World budget end of the spectrum.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that Chinese billionaires are using international surrogacy, especially in the United States, to purchase enormous families. Some seek to procure tens, perhaps even hundreds, of genetic children via surrogacy. The practice is banned in China, but the laws governing surrogacy overseas are sufficiently ambiguous for a large market to have opened up for those wealthy enough to go abroad — including in the US, where commercial surrogacy is legal and big business.
As Jewish families across Australia gathered for the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, two ISIS-linked Islamist terrorists turned celebration into carnage, killing 15 innocent people and injuring dozens. Authorities identified the suspects in the deadly shooting as a 50-year-old man and his adult son. Several high-profile accounts on X claimed that the duo were of Pakistani-origin.

Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar has built her political brand on a familiar story: the refugee girl who fled war, embraced America and rose to the halls of power championing universal healthcare, immigrant rights and progressive causes.
But new photos, archival material and historical accounts from her native Somalia obtained by the Daily Mail paint a far more complicated – and troubling – portrait of the Minnesota lawmaker’s backstory.
The material includes images linking Omar and her relatives to some of the most feared figures in Somalia’s modern history, including Major General Mohammed Said Hersi Morgan — the man known as the ‘Butcher of Hargeisa’ for atrocities committed in the late 1980s.

This weekend proved Flavor Flav was right. His posse, Public Enemy, released a song 35 years ago, 911 Is a Joke.
So get up, get, get, get down
911 is a joke in yo town
911 isn’t a joke of course. I’ve seen it in action on a personal basis. I like cops too.
Police policy is the problem. Politicians have hamstrung the police. And the joke is killing innocents.
No offence but you cannot rely on the police for protection.
You can contribute to TPS’ great record solving murder cases. Of course that means you died because they couldn’t help you.
No guns means we are mere collateral damage so the pols can virtue signal about the need for more and better gun control.
Trump blames Rob Reiner’s death on ‘incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome’
Rob Reiner will always be remembered as the quintessential example of a wealthy, aging liberal who got pathologically obsessed with Cable News and Twitter as a reaction to Trump, and somehow became a deranged, raging militarist. RIP pic.twitter.com/l4GyR5Qpmh

OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is practising “counterfeit Conservatism.”
Poilievre says while Carney likes to copy his ideas — ending the consumer carbon price, for example — his government won’t do what it says it will.
Carney is widely seen to be moving the Liberals to the political centre after years of more centre-left policies under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
WASHINGTON — The FBI arrested five members of a far-left, pro-Palestinian extremist group on Friday in connection with an alleged plot to carry out coordinated bombings in and around Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.
The “credible, imminent terrorist threat” to five unidentified companies’ logistics centers in Los Angeles came from radical members of an offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), FBI Director Kash Patel and other law enforcement officials revealed Monday.
The people arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting a New Year’s attack are reportedly tied to the “Turtle Island Liberation Front.”
This member of the TILF thinks North American Indians knew the shape of the continent and that’s why they called it Turtle Island: https://t.co/5t9RPD2rSQ pic.twitter.com/BSbMnQ2Ybc

The horror of Bondi Beach could just as easily happen in Canada — because the conditions are the same: we have allowed antisemitism to grow unchecked and infect our society.
Jews in Canada were already living in a climate of fear, now Hanukkah celebrations will be overshadowed by terror.
Any place there are Muslims there will exist the possibility of mass murder, it’s hard wired into their cult beliefs.
Every government since 911 has aided and abetted their settlement in Canada.
