York Catholic District School Board’s (YCDSB) decision not to fly the pride flag this June is the right decision. It should be the same for all public schools, and all government and municipal properties. Why?
For the simple reason that the only flags that truly represent all Ontarians without controversy are Canadian, provincial, or applicable municipal flags.
One of Canada’s largest faith-based charities has won a settlement over a set of publications that falsely claimed it was a “front” to fund terror groups abroad.
Islamic Relief Canada reached the out-of-court settlement earlier this month in a lawsuit against Thomas Quiggin — a former military officer turned self-described researcher who last year emerged as one of the more recognizable names in the truck convoy protests — and six others who it argued made “false, malicious and defamatory” statements aimed at harming the charity.
Along with Quiggin, the $2.5-million lawsuit from December 2018 took aim at Benjamin Dichter, who later emerged as a convoy spokesperson; writer Tahir Aslam Gora and an online television channel of which Gora is CEO; writer Raheel Raza and her husband Syed Sohail Raza; as well as a Yarmouth-based man named Joseph Hazelton who interviewed Quiggin about the charity in a YouTube video that garnered over 10,000 views.
Seems like an upstanding institution to me.
Islamic Relief Worldwide: … A July 2020 expose by the London Times and Dr. Lorenzo Vidino, director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, revealed that Heshmat Khalifa, a trustee and director of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), had posted on his Facebook page calling Jews the “grandchildren of monkeys and pigs.”
Khalifa had also posted on social media in 2014 and 2015 calling Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi a “Zionist pimp.” Khalifa had also praised Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, calling it “the purest resistance movement in modern history.” Khalifa resigned after The Times approached IRW.
Report clears Muslim charity of institutional antisemitism
The charity had been “horrified” when it discovered that Tayeb Abdoun, network and resource development director, had been tweeting antisemitic material under an alias, and had acted swiftly to deal with the individual, Grieve said.
Abdoun, who had worked for the charity for more than 25 years, was forced to resign. A few months earlier it was revealed that two trustees had posted antisemitic comments on social media before they were appointed. A new board of trustees was appointed soon afterwards.

Michael Higgins: Governor General Mary Simon can’t recognize a royal crime when she sees one
After a statue of Queen Elizabeth was defaced, one would hope that at least the Crown’s representative in Canada would denounce the vandalism.
Such hopes were dashed when Governor General Mary Simon addressed the issue this week and seemed to actively encourage such criminality.
She not only refused to condemn the act, “I can’t say whether it’s right or wrong,” but condoned it, “I think it’s really important for Indigenous people to express themselves in whichever form they want.”
Every appointment, every policy Trudeau makes is purposesly done to undermine Canadian society and its institutions.
Canada reached a new high in the number of assisted suicides last year, registering a 34% increase in people opting to end their lives under the world’s most liberal euthanasia laws in just one year, the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday, June 7th. Anti-euthanasia activists blame the “heavy promotion” of assisted suicide for this steep incline.
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear the appeal of an Alberta woman who was unwilling to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to get a life-saving organ transplant.
Annette Lewis was diagnosed with a terminal disease in 2018 and was told she would not survive unless she received an organ transplant.
She was placed on a transplant wait list in 2020, but was informed a year later she would need to get the COVID-19 vaccine to receive the organ.
Ghouls.
MS-13 gang members commit savage crimes —- beheading their targets with machetes, hacking off their hands, burning them to death and dismembering them.
OTTAWA – The federal government is telling Canada’s broadcasting regulator to exclude individual social media creators in the regulations to implement the government’s new online streaming law.
The bill is meant to force platforms such as Netflix, YouTube and TikTok to contribute and promote Canadian content.
It passed in April but the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission must now develop regulations to implement the bill’s intentions.
Watch what they do not what they say.

Children of all ages in schools across Canada took part in pervasive discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity during the first week of June. Such discussions inevitably arose around Pride Month events, and parents concerned about their age-appropriateness are reacting more strongly than in past years, says parental rights advocate Shannon Boschy.
“I’ve talked to people from Prince Edward Island, from Fredericton in New Brunswick, from Vancouver, Nanaimo, Kamloops, and Kelowna in British Columbia. Parents are all feeling the same thing: They’re frustrated that the school boards are not listening, that they’re shutting down parent concerns at every level and pushing this controversial ideology on the insistence that this is human rights,” Boschy told The Epoch Times.
For me, the three hours of testimony by David Johnston — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “independent special rapporteur” on foreign interference — before a House of Commons committee, jumped the shark an hour into the proceedings.
What was all that bullshit about a “Man of Integrity?”
While New Yorkers have become inured to the pungent smell of cannabis smoke wafting through the streets, the Canadian wildfire smoke currently turning the sky orange is taking our tolerance to new levels.
By Wednesday we were registering the worse air pollution of any major city in the world and COVID mask maniacs were back in their element.
But don’t fall for the propaganda that climate change is to blame.
It’s tradition, some might say politeness, that when a witness appears before a parliamentary committee, MPs welcome the witness. They shake hands and thank them for coming.
So perhaps it was a sign of things to come — or perhaps a sign of declining times — when all but one Conservative (Wellington—Halton Hills MP Michael Chong) bypassed the custom Tuesday when David Johnston, the former governor general and the government’s current independent special rapporteur on foreign interference, appeared before the procedure and house affairs committee.
For a man touted as a sort of “Mr. Canada” he sure holds us all in contempt.
All he did was run cover for Trudeau in a most unseemly fashion.
He is deeply corrupted by his ChiCom association.
Winnipeg is justly proud of its Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which opened in 2014, but we need a new museum in Canada to flag current concerns: a Canadian Museum of Misinformation, or possibly the Canadian Propaganda Museum. Whatever the title, Toronto deserves to have it.
The United States and Canada have long enjoyed a harmonious relationship, with the minor exception of the Canadians acting as a staging ground for British troops to invade and raze the capital after the U.S. cuffed the Canucks upside the head at York.
Besides those unpleasantries instigated by our mutual progenitor, England, the North American domestic arrangement had been downright neighborly.
