Canada’s ‘Islamophobia’ czar is back in the news again, this time for explicitly forwarding the Palestinian agenda on the taxpayer dime.

WENZEL: Canadians are exhausted — why 2025 felt like a year of constant ‘pressure’
Alright, here’s the real year-end vibe.
It’s December. The roads are a mess, daylight disappears at four in the afternoon, and everybody’s running on a mix of caffeine, stress, and Christmas to-do lists. And if you’ve felt like this year has been heavier than it should have been, you’re not imagining it.
The theme of 2025 was “Pressure.”
Vancouver Real Estate Saga Worthy of Beijing Opera: A Senior Party Official Accused of Massive Corruption, and His Opera Stagehand Son’s Canadian Fortune Traced After His Death
BRITISH COLUMBIA — It begins, as so many Vancouver real estate stories do, with a fortune that defies the logic of lawful wealth creation—too sudden, too large, too well-traveled, and too entangled with the machinery of China’s one-party state to feel like ordinary success—and hints at the familial web that would later unravel across the Pacific, after duffle bags of Chinese currency were converted into Canadian dollars to fund condo developments in Vancouver.
How can food banks be sure their resources are going to those in need?
In just one month, Food Banks Canada reported nearly 2.2 million visits across the country, which they say is the highest number recorded in history.
This data was recorded from March this year, doubling the monthly usage of food banks in Canada six years earlier.
This troubling number makes you wonder — why the huge spike?

Carney names globalist pig Mark Wiseman who sought to swamp Canada with cheap 3rd world labour as next U.S. ambassador
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney is appointing a global investment banker and pension fund manager to be Canada’s next ambassador in Washington.
Carney’s office says Mark Wiseman will take the role on Feb. 15, and he will be tasked with leading negotiations with the United States on the review of the continental free trade deal.
Wiseman is a longtime friend of Carney who was among the first to contribute to Carney’s leadership bid, donating the maximum $1,750 to that as well as an additional $1,750 to the Liberal party during last April’s election campaign.
I hope Trump’s team kicks his ass.
As U.S. Guns Pour Into Canada, the Bodies Pile Up
Guns waving in the air, the partygoers danced inside a recording studio on a fashionable city block, near a bar with craft cocktails like “Espresso Yourself” and a boutique hotel with what a Michelin Guide called a “bohemian-baroque aesthetic.”
Then, just after midnight, three rival gang members descended on the alley behind the studio and began firing. The partygoers cracked a door and shot back wildly. Nearly 100 bullets tore into the night, many striking a nearby supermarket and homes.
It was a miracle no one was killed or injured, the police said. When the dust settled, officers recovered 16 guns tossed into trash bins, dumped in the alleyway and shoved under a couch — each one smuggled across the southern border, the police said.
Canada’s border with the United States, that is.
Canada spent $78 million deporting 18,000 people in 2024 — the most since Stephen Harper … in a very loose sense
Canada has spent more than $78 million deporting over 18,000 people in the 2024-25 fiscal year, the most since the government of Stephen Harper, according to data obtained by the Star from the Canada Border Services Agency.
The vast majority of those deported have been asylum seekers whose refugee claims have been rejected, the data says.
The surge comes as the federal government tightens immigration targets and limits new international student permits, a shift that experts say is likely to fuel a rise in deportations as hundreds of thousands of temporary residents face shrinking pathways to permanent status and as a “regularization program” for undocumented migrants, initially promised by the Trudeau government, remains stalled.
… The deportation level in 2024 was the highest since 2012, when more than 19,000 people were removed under Harper’s Conservative government. Deportations include all removals enforced in a given fiscal year, including refugee claimants as well as those living, working or studying in Canada who have overstayed their legal status.
The Star wants you to believe Carney is deporting failed asylum seekers at the same rate as Harper!
But the Star commits a sin of omission failing to point out Harper outperformed Carney by a huge margin based on the total number of asylum seekers each administration has faced.
Google AI – How many asylum seekers did Canada receive in the year 2024 vs. 2012?

Seizure of $2 million: Montreal man challenging Quebec forfeiture law
Levy, who has no criminal record, was never charged with any offence related to the money. His lawyers argue it was obtained legitimately.
A Montreal man is challenging the constitutionality of Quebec’s civil forfeiture law after police seized more than $2 million in cash from his home, but never charged him with any crime.
Lawyers for André Levy argue a provision of the law, which presumes cash sums of $2,000 or more are the proceeds of illegal activity except in certain circumstances, violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and are seeking the return of the money.
Here’s what you need to know about the B.C. oil tanker moratorium
For years, oil tanker traffic has been prohibited off the waters of northern British Columbia in order to protect environmentally sensitive coastlines from disaster.
But the federal government is now open to the idea of changing its moratorium.
The debate over the future of the tanker ban arose from Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in November that lays out the steps for a potential pipeline to carry oil from the Alberta to the Pacific coast.
Questions Mount Over Bail Status Of Accused In Project Neapolitan Terror And Hate Crime Case
TORONTO — Questions are growing over whether individuals accused in one of the most serious hate-motivated and terrorism-linked criminal cases in recent Canadian history have been released on bail, amid limited public disclosure and a court-imposed publication ban.
Project Neapolitan, a major joint investigation led by the Toronto Police Service, Peel Regional Police, and the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, resulted in the arrest of three Toronto men accused of targeting women and members of the Jewish community in armed kidnapping and hostage-taking attempts earlier this year.
One point for saying Hijab but deducted for failure to mention Islam
Janet Ecker: What can a non-Jew do to stop the hate?
You could start by actually saying the words Islam or Muslim.
One of Canada’s first convicted terrorists remains a devout Muslim ready to kill for his batshitcrazy murder cult
One of Canada’s first convicted terrorists shows ‘no signs of de-radicalization’
A Moroccan terrorist convicted in Quebec almost two decades ago has been denied parole in a decision that said he had no remorse and continued to legitimize violence.
Said Namouh, 52, remains a “significant, indeed concerning, risk,” despite having been behind bars since 2007, according to the Parole Board of Canada.
KLEIN: Angry words on the streets of Canada say it all – Division is growing
The other day, someone asked me for change. I said, “Sorry, I don’t have any.” The response? “F-off and go back to your own country.” It caught me off guard—not because of the aggression, which has sadly become common on our streets, but because of the assumption. Go back to my own country? This is my country. I was born here. I’m Canadian, and I’m proud of it.
New study finds AI chatbots can influence some Canadians to change their vote
Study found Canadians were more likely to be swayed than Americans
Talking with an AI chatbot can successfully convince people to change their votes and could affect the outcome of future elections, according to a new study.
The study, which included 1,530 Canadians, also found that the chatbots had more success convincing Canadians to switch their votes than it did with Americans.
Gordon Pennycook, a Canadian and associate professor at Cornell University, said the study set out to discover how persuasive generative AI could be when it comes to politics.
Death by a Thousand Clicks: 6 Bills That Together Turn Canada Into a Police State
Freedom in Canada is dying slowly and gradually, not by a single fell swoop, but by a thousand cuts. How did the United Kingdom end up arresting thousands of its citizens (more than 30 per day) over their Facebook, X, and other social media posts? This Orwellian nightmare was achieved one small step at a time. No single step was deemed worthy of fierce and effective opposition by British citizens. The citizens of what was once a free nation adapted begrudgingly to the slow-but-steady elimination of their freedoms, including privacy and freedom from state surveillance.
Likewise in Canada, too few Canadians have spoken out against the federal government gradually taking over the internet through a series of bills with innocuous and even laudable titles.
