Statistics Canada sold an advance copy of a national hate crimes report to the Department of Canadian Heritage for $72,000, granting officials early access for “feedback.”
Blacklock’s Reporter says the confidential agreement between Statistics Canada and Department of Canadian Heritage allowed a designated official in Heritage Minister Marc Miller’s department to review the report Police-Reported Hate Crimes In Canada prior to its public release.
Israel’s kinetic war against Hamas has been successful. Although still defiant, Hamas is a shadow of its pre-October 7 self. The possibility of an October 7 reprisal is forever nil. But Hamas and their supporters are winning the equally important battle for hearts and minds in demonizing Israel and Jews.
Their toxic flow of accusations — settler colonialism, apartheid and, above all, genocide in Gaza — have never been interrogated in a court of actual law. But they will be. As alpha Israeli journalist Amit Segal recently reported in his daily newsletter, It’s Noon in Israel, “Oct 7 launched the propaganda war, but the trial of the perpetrators will put the propagandists on trial.”
Europe has a long history, from medieval expulsions to the Holocaust, of dispossessing, murdering, and expelling Jews. Today, this same impulse continues under the language of diplomacy and “international law,” now targeting the Jewish people’s biblical heartland by, once again, trying to force a genocidally hostile (here and here, article 7) so-called “two-state solution” on the Jewish state.
Last week, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service released its 2025 Public Report. Its assessment of security issues in this country was not groundbreaking, with the annual report outlining the usual domestic threats. However, it seemed to have a very basic and outdated understanding of antisemitism and how it is manifesting in Canada.
Toronto police are investigating a late‑night shooting outside a North York synagogue as a suspected hate‑motivated offence after three people standing outside the building were fired upon from a passing vehicle using what investigators believe was a replica firearm.
The incident happened around 10:49 p.m. on Thursday in the area of Bathurst Street and Hwy. 401, a neighbourhood home to several synagogues and Jewish community institutions.
A man accused of a firebomb attack that killed one person and injured a dozen others during a demonstration last year in Boulder, Colorado, in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza was scheduled to plead guilty Thursday to murder and other charges.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the attack in downtown Boulder last 1 June.
Soliman’s attorneys revealed he would plead guilty in a recent court filing in a related federal case. He was set to appear Thursday before a state district judge, Nancy Salomone, to do so.
Six months after US President Donald J. Trump unveiled his ambitious ceasefire and reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip, the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group remains more armed, entrenched, and openly defiant than ever. Far from disarming, the Islamist group now controls roughly half the Gaza Strip and much of its population, while making a mockery of Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative and the international mediators sponsoring it.
A University of Cambridge college has been criticised after it failed to suspend students who made death threats against an undergraduate who visited Israel.
The visit, organised by the Pinsker Centre think tank, took Oxbridge student leaders to Israel, where they met Israelis and Palestinians to better understand the Gaza conflict.
But one of the party, Bradley Smart, 21, said he received death threats from fellow students when he returned to Homerton College.
Samuel Hayek, president of the Jewish National Fund, shocked England by saying: “Jews have no future in the United Kingdom,” Not only Jews, but Western civilizatiion.

Toronto police are looking for a suspect who allegedly fired a replica firearm at three members of the Jewish community in North York on Thursday.
Police said the assault, which is being investigated as a hate-motivated incident, occurred in the area of Bathurst Street and Lawrence Avenue West.
Three people, who police say were visibly Jewish, were walking in the area when a suspect in a blue SUV allegedly discharged an Orbeez-type gun at them.
I was, in an intellectual sense, as prepared as I could be for the end of my grandmother’s life – a life that began in the suburbs of Budapest, in 1935, and ended in Toronto, just over 80 years later.
In that time, she had lived through the piece-by-piece destruction of her world, first by fascists, then Nazis, then communists – the original incarnations of these still undefeated movements. She had seen her mother and father dispossessed of their belongings and their home – legally, at the time. She witnessed the sudden (equally legal) disappearance of her father, then the sudden and permanent disappearance of her aunts and uncles. When she returned to her small and mostly Jewish neighbourhood after the war, she found almost every other child she used to know was no longer there, leaving behind grieving parents.
Some pro-Palestinian demonstrations could be stopped, the prime minister has warned, as the UK’s most senior police officer said the threat to the Jewish community was greater than it had ever been.
Keir Starmer indicated he wanted the language expressed on some protest marches to be subjected to “tougher action” as he sought to allay the fears of British Jews after a series of attacks on their communities in recent weeks.
“When you see, when you hear some of those chants – ‘globalise the intifada’ the one that I would pick out – then clearly there should be tougher action in relation to that,” Starmer told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
I doubt GB has the means or the will to ban the Islamist marches.
On Thursday night, the day after the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London, Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward was asked a simple question on the BBC’s Question Time. ‘You’ve stated you’ve seen racial hatred in this country’, said a member of the audience. ‘Could you please specify where that hatred is coming from?’

While much of the world’s attention remains fixed on Iran and the broader regional conflict, a darker and largely ignored reality is unfolding inside the Gaza Strip: credible and deeply disturbing reports of sexual exploitation, abuse, and coercion carried out under Hamas rule.
New testimonies emerging from the Gaza Strip reveal that Hamas terrorists are systematically sexually exploiting vulnerable Palestinian women — demanding sex in exchange for basic aid, food, and shelter. The accounts describe a predatory system targeting widows, displaced mothers, and divorcees without male breadwinners, with victims threatened into silence by Hamas operatives.
