OTTAWA – Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says federal departments are reviewing how two men with suspected links to a terrorist group abroad were allowed into Canada.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son, Mostafa Eldidi, 26, were arrested in Richmond Hill, Ont., last week and face nine different terrorism charges, including conspiracy to commit murder on behalf of the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
I bet that’ll be real thorough.
‘What is it about the make-up of our society?’ Deborah Lyons on antisemitism in Canada
Beats me man.
Why is there such a lack of great leadership in the world today? It used to be a cocktail of qualities that include honesty, integrity, passion, resilience, fortitude, self-belief and strong values.
Why do so many leaders do so badly? When compared to the greatest generation, most — if not all — seem like lightweights… Ambitious, self-effacing lightweights.
Justin Trudeau’s political prisoners have officially been exonerated. A jury in Lethbridge, Alberta found the remaining two defendants of the Coutts Four, Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert, not guilty. The men had been charged with conspiracy to murder charges as a result of their participation in the non-violent Truckers Freedom Convoy in February 2022, and they had been held in custody ever since, denied bail in spite of no history of violence or criminal records.
Their 30-month incarceration and subsequent legal victory are not just the tale of authoritarian overreach by the Trudeau administration. They tell the story of the wider political battle between the professional managerial class throughout the West and the working class over whom they rule—and the cost to four working-class men of fighting back.
Around the world, endgames are looming in four high-stakes political, environmental and military disputes. The results will resonate well beyond the immediate protagonists.
Here at home, a Liberal government in its death throes is engaged in cringeworthy acts of desperation. The prime minister used his officials to publicly chastise his deputy PM for failing to prettify his economic and fiscal debacles. Then, predictably, he failed to persuade Mark Carney to board a foundering vessel with no lifeboats. Unless Trudeau jumps ship early to avoid electoral obliteration, long-suffering Canadians will have to wait 15 months for liberation from: high prices, unaffordable housing, profligate spending, rising taxes, massive deficits, intrusive regulations, divisive identity politics, alienating woke ideology, regional tensions, international humiliation and the absence of moral leadership. Whenever exactly he takes over, Pierre Poilievre will face a monumental task to undo the damage.
Canadian Armed Forces ‘pre-positioning’ ahead of possible evacuation from Lebanon as tensions mount
The Canadian Armed Forces is “pre-positioning” assets in case its fleet is needed to evacuate Canadians from Lebanon amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, according to government officials.
Over the weekend, a Canadian Globemaster aircraft, used in humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, was spotted on a flight tracking website landing in Beirut.
In a statement late Tuesday night, the Department of National Defence said the military is “currently pre-positioning assets in the Eastern Mediterranean region” in case evacuation planning and logistical support is needed.
Canada’s systemic reluctance to tackle extremist ideology is coming home to roost. Two weeks ago, Edmonton gas station employee Khaled Hussein was convicted on multiple charges under Britain’s Terrorism Act alongside radical British preacher Anjem Choudary. Last week, the RCMP announced the arrest of a father and son, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi and Mostafa Eldidi in Richmond Hill, Ont. on charges that include conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of ISIS.
… Seventy-eight per cent of 30,746 immigration investigations in 2022-23 ended with CBSA’s determination that the individual in question was “inadmissible” to Canada. There are many reasons why you might be found “inadmissible,” including security concerns, human rights violations, criminal record, misrepresentation, health issues, a loss of refugee status, etc. That’s not a one-off: CBSA inadmissibility findings were even higher in 2021 and 2022.
If the vast majority of CBSA investigations turn up troubling information, it’s frightening to think our immigration screeners missed a publicly available ISIS execution video where Ahmed Eldidi allegedly dismembered “a spy” in Western Iraq prior to being granted Canadian citizenship. Was this a case of bad luck, underfunding, or inadequate training at our embassy in Egypt?

He’s right, but unfortunately for Canadians identity politics and so called “anti-Zionism” trump the rule of law.
Viva Islamophobia!
Canada is turning into a nation of shoplifters, which is less an indictment of the criminal and more a sad reflection on our government.
Shoplifting increased 18 per cent in 2023, with 155,280 reported incidents, according to Statistics Canada. And that increase built on 2022, which saw a 31 per cent rise from the previous year.
Every crime tells a story, but some generalizations can be made about certain categories of offences.
Hamas supporters citing “300 Days of Rage” since the October 7 terror attacks on Israel will be marching to Parliament Hill in Ottawa August 10 demanding what they call “justice” for terrorists.
Canada is losing corporate head offices.
Between 2012 and 2022, one-in-20 head offices closed or merged with other companies, according to Statistics Canada data, which tracks the number of large and mid-sized Canadian-based companies over time. Head office employment has also dwindled, dropping by around 6% since 2012.
The LPC’s lunatics are often in cahoots with our corporate welfare loons.
The federal Liberal government has a lot of policy failures to answer for: a sluggish economy, ballooning debt and numerous foreign policy fiascoes. But its biggest failure is on the most crucial of files: immigration.
Immigration is crucial because Canada depends on newcomers to fuel both population and economic growth: with a fertility rate of 1.33 children per woman, we are simply not replacing ourselves. Yet improperly managed immigration contributes to a host of social problems, including our current housing shortage and, even more disturbingly, the security of the country itself.
Canada’s colonists celebrated the weekend in the traditional fashion by calling for the murder of non-Muslims in Toronto and Montreal.

OTTAWA – The Conservatives say they have no connection to a rash of conspicuously similar social-media posts that flooded the X platform following a Pierre Poilievre event in northern Ontario last week.
The Conservative leader held a rally at a conference centre in Kirkland Lake on July 31, to what appears in a video to be a packed room of several hundred people.
