Ontario school played Palestinian protest song in Arabic as its Remembrance Day music

An Ottawa school played an Arabic-language Palestinian protest song associated with fighting in Gaza as the soundtrack to its Remembrance Day presentation, causing outrage and distress for some students and parents.

… Principal Aaron Hobbs defended the selection during one of those meetings, saying it was chosen to bring diversity and inclusion to Remembrance Day that is usually only about “a white guy who has done something related to the military.”

 

Looks like someone needs a lecture on antisemitism!

Conrad Black: What a Trump Presidency Means for Canada

Contrary to widely expressed fears in Canada, there is plenty of room for the Canadian government of either major party to work cooperatively with the new American administration on most fronts. A couple of months ago, I had occasion to ask then-candidate Donald Trump whether Canada had anything to fear if he were elected. He said: “Your trade negotiators are better than ours, but all I’m asking is fair trade which is not a big problem with Canada.” He added that he knows the country well, has done lots of business here, and has nothing but liking and goodwill for Canada.

John Ivison: Trudeau already has Trump irritated. He might soon make it worse

Donald Trump reportedly described Justin Trudeau as a “behind-your-back guy,” after the two fell out over tariffs during the president-elect’s first term in office.

As Trudeau continues to languish in domestic opinion polls, he may be tempted to reprise his role as the “behind your back guy” by attempting to appease the president on trade and security to his face, while sub rosa, using him as a warning about what Canadians can expect if they elect the Conservatives.

Barbara Kay: Trump victory a win for women’s rights, War on Terror

As you’ve likely heard several times by now, Donald Trump’s decisive victory on Tuesday was “the greatest political comeback in American history.” It’s not an exaggeration, and while some media commentators (like those on Fox News, which I was watching on election night) made the observation in positive wonderment, most admitted it through gritted teeth.

Canada may need to let Trump be ‘senior partner’ in U.S. relations says Never Trumper

Canada may need to let Trump be ‘senior partner’ in U.S. relations: GOP critic

Ottawa may have to let U.S. president-elect Donald Trump act as the “senior partner” in the Canada-U.S. relationship, even if that makes Canadians “bristle,” a prominent Republican critic of the incoming president says.

Jeff Timmer, a longtime Republican official and strategist in Michigan who helped lead efforts aimed at defeating Trump in the past two U.S. elections, says the Canadian government will need to treat Trump as “the guy in charge” to ensure Canada’s interests are safeguarded during what’s expected to be a protectionist U.S. administration.

FBI says tips coming in on whereabouts of fugitive Canadian ex-Olympian Ryan Wedding

More than three weeks after the FBI first offered a reward of up to $50,000 US for information leading to the arrest of Ryan Wedding, investigators say tips have been coming in. But the manhunt continues for the former Team Canada Olympic snowboarder, accused of leading a murderous, transnational drug trafficking operation.

“The FBI has, and continues to receive, information related to the whereabouts of Ryan Wedding,” FBI spokesperson Rukelt Dalberis told CBC News in an email. “Tips received at this point have yet to lead to an arrest.”

HUNTER: Why did accused teens in Ken Lee slaying opt for judge-alone?

It was a particularly brutal, shocking murder. Accenting the horror was the age and gender of the suspected killers.

There were eight of them, girls, aged 13 to 16, and they were allegedly on a mission of mayhem.

Nearly two years after the mobbing attack that left 59-year-old homeless man Kenneth Lee dead, the matter is still making its way through the courts.

Rory Gilfillan: Our once brave nation now leaves the fight to others

In the last gasps of the 1930s, prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King made one last feeble attempt to keep Canada out of the Second World War. The policy would be called “limited liability.” Instead of supplying the soldiers needed to fight the coming war, Canada would instead provide grain to feed the Allies and train Commonwealth aircrews. While the policy was naïve it was at least understandable. In the First World War, Canada had lost 66,000 men and women. Out of a total population of nine million, this was no small thing. Everyone was connected. Everyone was impacted. And while we had fought valiantly, earning a seat at the peace talks in 1919, it hardly seemed worth the cost. Limited liability would be the last-ditch effort to avoid the gathering storm.

Canada’s answer to Trump 2.0 worries? Everything’s fine.

OTTAWA — When Donald Trump returns to the White House, Canada will stare down the possibility of a 20 percent tariff, an influx of asylum seekers and no end of hassle over its lackluster defense spending.

Justin Trudeau’s response in the days since Trump’s emphatic victory: Everything is fine.

Canada’s prime minister has unleashed a tiger team of texters — top ministers and senior Trudeau aides who appear tighter with their U.S. counterparts than Trudeau is with Trump.

Fen Osler Hampson and Tim Sargent: With Trump’s victory, a Canadian foreign policy reset is more urgent than ever

Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the U.S. presidential election will have profound consequences for international relations over the next four years and beyond.

While domestic issues were likely at the forefront of most voters’ minds when they cast their ballots, there is no denying that many Americans think that the world has become a more dangerous place during the tenure of the Biden administration.

WARMINGTON: Mississauga event celebrates Hamas terror leader killed by Israel

You can’t legally play road hockey on Celebration Square or on the streets of Mississauga, but you can hold a ceremony to mourn the death of the mastermind of the Oct. 7, 2023 slaughter of more than 1,200 Jews.

This is not an exaggeration.

In one of those strange anomalies and double standards of woke Canada, the City of Mississauga has now made that clear in a news release posted to X Sunday.

GUNTER: Democrats’ election strategies won’t work for Liberals here

On Tuesday, the night of the U.S. election, David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s chief political strategist through two campaigns, told CNN that the Democrats lost so badly because they had lost touch with ordinary people.

“We approach working-class voters as though we were missionaries. And our message to them is ‘We want to help you become just like us.’”
