Turkey’s Palestinian State Fantasy After October 7, 2023

Turkey’s Palestinian State Fantasy After October 7, 2023

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan recently declared that Israel could eventually become part of a proposed regional security framework that would include Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, the Gulf states, and even Iran. There is, however, one condition: Israel must first recognize a Palestinian state on the 1949 armistice lines.

“If that problem is solved, I think the security of Israel will be very much assisted by the regional countries, too,” Fidan told the Japanese news agency Nikkei Asia.

The proposal would be laughable if it were not so dangerous.

Quebec politicians condemn white supremacy gathering in Shawinigan

Quebec politicians condemn white supremacy gathering in Shawinigan

A group of white supremacists gathered on Saturday in Shawinigan in the Mauricie region to rally in support of a “White Quebec.”

The demonstration took place at Veterans’ Park near the Shawinigan City cenotaph.

A group of masked individuals held up a banner adorned with two fleurs-de-lis and bearing the words “I remember a White Quebec.”


I don’t see how anyone could be “shocked” about this given the criminal abuse of immigration that has seen Canada flooded with incompatible cultures. That’s what should be called out.

Iran calls off negotiations with US following Israeli strike on Beirut

Iran has shut down its communications with the US through mediators in protest of Israel’s Monday strikes on Beirut, disrupting weeks of attempts to find a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart formal peace talks.

“In light of the ongoing crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon and given that Lebanon was part of the ceasefire preconditions, and now this ceasefire has been violated on all fronts, including Lebanon, the Iranian negotiating team is suspending ‘discussions and exchanges of texts through intermediaries,’” the government-linked Tasnim News Agency wrote on X Monday.

Alberta considering 3 oil pipeline routes through northern B.C., documents show

The Alberta government has considered three different pipeline routes through northern British Columbia for a new major oil export pipeline, according to documents obtained by CBC News which provide a first glimpse into where the project could be located.

Several ports on the northern coast are highlighted as options, according to the documents, which were shown to local community leaders during private consultations on the proposed project this spring.

The provincial government is also exploring the idea of a fourth route through southern B.C. and a port in the Vancouver area.

Bruce Springsteen’s TDS Was the Real Headliner at His DC Show

What do you get when a “No Kings” rally meets an aging, TDS-laden rock star? A sweaty Bruce “Screamsteen” delivering a teleprompter-fueled rant at Nationals Park in the nation’s capital on May 27, while posing as a moral crusader. Only it was giving less, “I have a dream,” by a respected leader preaching against injustice and more, “I have a grievance list,” by a multimillionaire railing against the rich.

Support for original MAiD law strong but Canadians divided on mental illness expansion

Support for original MAiD law strong but Canadians divided on mental illness expansion

Canadians remain broadly supportive of the country’s original assisted dying law, but new polling suggests support weakens sharply when eligibility is expanded to include people who are not near death or those seeking MAiD for mental illness alone.

A new Angus Reid Institute survey released Monday found 77% of Canadians still support the original 2016 Medical Assistance in Dying framework, which applied to people whose deaths were reasonably foreseeable and who were suffering from a severe and irremediable condition.

Jill Biden’s Memoir Is Going to Tear the Democrats Apart

Jill Biden’s Memoir Is Going to Tear the Democrats Apart

The Bidens want to restore Joe Biden’s legacy after his disastrous presidency and his Hindenburg-style campaign collapse, and phase one is Jill Biden’s forthcoming memoir. The next step will be Joe Biden’s inevitable presidential memoir, which is sure to have quite a few doozies in it, but for now, we have Jill’s, and if she thought her book would “set the record straight” and the Democrat Party would be thrilled, well, that’s not what’s happening at all. Instead, it’s setting the Democrat Party on fire — and the people most enraged are the ones who spent years covering for Joe Biden.

Terry Newman: Carney’s quest to ‘Make America Great Again’

“I’m going to draw on an insight from the Finnish president, my friend Alexander Stubb, who observed that people consistently — myself included — do three things: over-rationalize the past, over-dramatize the present and underestimate the future.”

This is what Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told a room full of attendees at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.

Britain Bans Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur From Entering and They Suddenly Discover It’s Unfair

I think it is rather amusing that the United Kingdom is more concerned with preventing speakers the government dislikes from entering the country than with actual illegal immigrants who are an active danger to their country.

But I do not, in principle, have a problem with the idea that a country would want to ban entry to people whom it considers harmful to public order. In fact, I think they should do it more, and apply a stricter standard to those who are trying to stay there. If the UK did that, 75% of the political discord the leaders are worried about would go away, and having speakers arrive to bitch about how racist the country is (Piker, Uygur) or how it is being invaded (Tommy Robinson speakers) wouldn’t be a problem.

N.S. seeing an increase in teens with long-lasting psychosis due to high-potency cannabis

Clinicians at Halifax’s IWK Health Centre say more young patients are arriving with severe symptoms tied to high-potency cannabis — and their symptoms are taking much longer to clear, even after they stop using the drug.

Dr. Kyle Godden, an inpatient psychiatrist at the IWK, said youth using high-potency products experience more severe episodes and require longer hospital care.

Godden recalled a young male patient who came into the hospital with severe paranoia, agitation and hallucinations.

French navy seizes Russia-linked oil tanker in Atlantic

A suspected Russian oil tanker has been detained in the Atlantic, France has announced, in the latest seizure aimed at combatting Moscow’s “shadow fleet” of vessels contravening international sanctions.

The Tagor was detained on Sunday morning in international waters more than 400 nautical miles (740km) west of Brittany with the help of the UK and other partners, said the French president, Emmanuel Macron.

According to French authorities, the vessel was on its way from Murmansk in north-west Russia when it was seized.
