Ari Blaff: Jewish union members complain CUPE polluted with anti-Israeli bigotry

First responders were still struggling to identify the charred remains of Israeli civilians butchered on Oct. 7 when Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario president Fred Hahn boasted of the atrocities committed by Hamas as the “power of resistance.” Hahn’s comments came as Zaka, an Israeli volunteer emergency rescue group, sometimes only found the teeth of terror victims; at other points, MRI imaging revealed a parent and child in a death embrace, their spines inseparably twisted like barbed wire as they were ignited in flames.

Trudeau should know that Hamas is to blame

On Thursday, November 9, an aging Right Honourable Brian Mulroney stood before the World Jewish Congress in New York to accept the organization’s highest honour, the Theodor Herzl Award, in recognition of his efforts to combat antisemitism and his unwavering support for Israel and the Jewish people. A shadow of his former prime ministerial self, he spoke with humility and wisdom but also the conviction of experience when he said, “The prime minister sets both the agenda and the tone in Ottawa.”

Canadian Human Rights Commission Report Says Christmas a ‘Discriminatory’ Holiday

The report says Canada’s ‘identity as a settler colonial state’ is a chief reason for its ‘religious intolerance.’

A new report from Canada’s human rights watchdog says Christmas is a discriminatory holiday rooted in “colonialism.”

The Oct. 23 report from the Canadian Human Rights Commission called Canada’s celebration of Jesus’s birth “an obvious example” of “systemic religious discrimination.”

“Statutory holidays related to Christianity including Christmas and Easter are the only Canadian statutory holidays linked to religious holy days,” says the report titled “Discussion Paper On Religious Intolerance.”

The Liberals’ defence policy hits a fiscal wall but funds will remain available to cut your dick off

There was a revelatory moment on the weekend as Defence Minister Bill Blair attempted to bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality in the Liberal government’s spending plans for his department and the Canadian military.

Asked about an anticipated (and long overdue) update to the country’s defence policy (supposedly made urgent two years ago by Russia’s full-on invasion of Ukraine), Blair acknowledged that the reset is now being viewed through a fiscal lens.

But the cut off your dick or tits budget will remain untouched.

Ontario woman says her dying grandma was asked to leave the hospital after she outlived her cancer prognosis

An Ontario woman who has outlived her stage four lung cancer prognosis was asked last Thursday to leave the hospital to free up space, leaving her family scrambling to find accommodations, the woman’s grandchildren say.

For months, Miranda Newman and her brother, Adam Luciano, who are joint power of attorneys, have navigated the labyrinthine hospital system as they care for their grandmother, 77-year-old Kathy Luciano. Admitted to a GTA-based hospital following a heart attack in July, Luciano was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer in August, along with pericardial effusion and fluid in her lungs.

What a nightmare.

Foreign states targeting Canadians through social media, CSIS warns

Foreign threat actors and foreign terrorist groups are using the social media feeds of Canadians to profile individuals and magnify misinformation, officials from Canada’s spy agency warned members of Parliament Monday.

Cherie Henderson, an assistant director with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), warned that hostile foreign actors aren’t waiting for elections to interfere in Canada.

“Foreign interference doesn’t just occur during an election,” Henderson told members of the House of Commons committee on access to information, privacy and ethics. “Foreign interference occurs all the time, every day.”

Freeland delivers the 2023 fall economic statement

Freeland’s fiscal update pledges new guardrails to keep deficits in check

OTTAWA – The Liberal government’s fall economic statement acknowledges the cost-of-living crisis weighing on Canadians but offers few new measures to tackle it while pledging to keep deficits in check.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland presented her fiscal update in the House of Commons on Tuesday, stressing the pressure inflation and a slowing economy are putting on federal finances.

At a time when the Liberals are facing pointed criticism from the Opposition Conservatives for years of deficit spending, the update outlines new guardrails to demonstrate fiscal restraint.

Canada’s debt charges are ballooning as Freeland tables a gloomy fall economic statement

The cost to service the federal government’s sizeable debtload will spike in the years ahead — and those public debt charges will eat up much more of Ottawa’s revenue than they have in recent years, according to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s fall economic statement, tabled today.

Freeland’s document suggests Canada will avoid a recession but predicts economic growth will slow to a crawl. Unemployment is set to rise nearly a full percentage point next year and tens of thousands more people could be out of work.

Billions for home building back-loaded, deficit projected at $40B in 2023-24: fall economic statement

OTTAWA – The federal government’s fall economic statement presented by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday includes billions of dollars in new spending and targeted policy measures aimed at increasing Canada’s housing supply in the years ahead, with the deficit projected to be $40 billion in 2023-24.

Noting Canadians continue to feel the squeeze of inflation and high interest rates in their everyday lives, while increasingly becoming preoccupied about their looming mortgage renewals, Freeland’s fiscal update is focused on responding to two pressing challenges: affordability and accelerating home building, while trying to maintain a degree of fiscal restraint.

Ottawa loosens mortgage stress test in housing-focused fall fiscal update

Homeowners fretting about paying more on their mortgages at renewal could soon have more power to shop around for a better rate, thanks to a package of housing affordability measures proposed in the Liberals’ fall economic statement.

Why is a man convicted of killing Bangladesh’s president in 1975 still living free in Canada?

As the sun pierces the horizon to reveal a distant Toronto skyline, a fit-looking man in his 70s emerges on his third-floor condominium balcony. He’s come out to tend an expansive collection of flowers and plants that crowd his terrace, making it difficult to get a clear view of his face.

This low-rise condo building is unremarkable, one of several fanning out across a leafy west Toronto suburb.

So is the man carefully looking after his plants in the early autumn light. He is wearing a blue button-up shirt and jeans fastened neatly with a belt. His greying hair has receded since he was last photographed publicly nearly three decades ago.

This guy’s story crops up in the media every few years, why he’s protected is anyone’s guess.

McGill students vote in favour of pro-Palestinian policy

Despite the university warning it could cut ties with its student union over the issue, McGill students have voted in favour of adopting a contentious pro-Palestinian policy.

In a vote that ended Monday, 78 per cent of students who participated voted in favour of the policy, titled Policy Against Genocide in Palestine.

Our elites have done a thorough job destroying Canada.

I don’t care for the Canada of atrocity fetishists marching in our streets. 

The mass reveal across the west of Hamas supporters is the result of the numbers game we warned about these many years.

That smug little bubble inhabited by the open borders kumbaya crowd is burst. 

It was inevitable once a sufficient number of foot soldiers were in place.

Does the will exist to upend the schemes of the 5th columnists in academia and the political, media and corporate classes?

Is there anything left to put back together again?

Do you trust any of our DEI/CRT infested public institutions?

Our mass immigration loving business class and their political minions have proven themselves an enemy determined to impoverish us.

Canada has been tribalized and its people weakened by the lies of multiculturalism and diversity.

Are there enough of us left to make a difference?

RCMP Alerted By Foreign Intelligence Service: Secret Warnings About Wuhan Research Predated the Pandemic

The first inkling of trouble came four months later. On July 5, 2019, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrived at the lab. Qiu, her scientist husband, and several students from China working with them were marched out and had their security clearances revoked.

“Delete That Comment”

In late October 2017, a US health official from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) arrived at the Wuhan Institute of Virology for a glimpse of an eagerly anticipated work in progress. The WIV, a leading research institute, was putting the finishing touches on China’s first biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory. Operating with the highest safeguards, the lab would enable scientists to study some of the world’s most lethal pathogens.

The project had support from Western governments seeking a more robust partnership with China’s top scientists. France had helped design the facility. Canada, before long, would send virus samples. And in the US, NIAID was channeling grant dollars through an American organization called EcoHealth Alliance to help fund the WIV’s cutting-edge coronavirus research.

RCMP Investigating Muslim Preacher’s Call for Allah to Eradicate ‘Zionist Aggressors’

The federal police force says it’s investigating a public speech by a Montreal Muslim preacher that called for Allah to exterminate “Zionist aggressors.”

Adil Charkaoui, imam at the Centre Islamique Assahaba, made a speech during a pro-Palestine rally on Oct. 28 and lashed out at Israel for its actions in Gaza following the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas.
