Montreal police (SPVM) says at least one synagogue in Montreal is on a list of more than 100 places of worship across Canada that received a threatening email Wednesday morning.
The force received a 911 call at 7:10 a.m. about the email, which was received at 5 a.m., and officers are currently onsite at Adath Israel Poale Zedek Anshei Ozeroff on Harrow Crescent in Hampstead.
Probably White Supremacists.

BERLIN (AP) — Two men accused of planning an attack in Sweden for an affiliate of the Islamic State group in response to the burning of copies of the Quran have been charged in Germany, where they were arrested earlier this year, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The two Afghan citizens, identified only as Ibrahim M.G. and Ramin N. in line with German privacy rules, were charged with conspiring to commit a crime and violating export laws. Ibrahim M.G. was charged with membership in a terrorist organization and Ramin N. with supporting one.
Ten years ago the then prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt asked Swedes to “open your hearts” to refugees. Now the country’s migration minister is celebrating the fact Sweden has “negative net immigration”, with more people thought to be leaving the country than entering for the first time in more than half a century.
“The number of asylum applications is heading towards a historically low level, asylum-related residence permits continue to decrease and for the first time in 50 years Sweden has net emigration,” Maria Malmer Stenergard announced earlier this month.
Sweden’s Moderate-led government, which is supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats, has pursued increasingly restrictive asylum policies, including plans for a “snitch law” that would legally require public sector workers to report undocumented people.
The Swedes are realizing the horrid mistake they made.
August 6 marked the tenth anniversary of “the Black Day,” a day indelible to Iraqi Christians as the start of the unrelenting atrocities to which they were subjected on August 6, 2014, ten years ago.
On that day, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) unleashed a jihadi massacre of unprecedented terror, brutally attacking ancient Christian communities across northern Iraq. Villages were overrun, homes and churches looted and destroyed, and countless lives shattered. Christians were murdered, raped and sold into slavery. Those who survived were forced to flee, leaving behind everything they held dear.
The number of crimes committed in Germany has risen to its highest rate since 2012, according to the federal police’s report on crime in 2023. According to the report, released on Monday, August 19th, the total number of crimes was 790,245 last year.
Announcing the report at a press conference on Monday, federal police chief Dieter Romann added a shocking number to the already distressing figures, saying that “in relation to the total population, non-Germans are statistically six times more likely to resort to knives in an attack than German citizens. And in sexual crimes, it is seven times more likely.”
An explosion of violent crime in the United Kingdom has made England and Wales into what one economist calls “the rape capital of Europe by a sizeable margin.”
The figures are “pretty grim,” according to UK economist and podcast host Philip Pilkington. “Looks like Britain is becoming a pretty unsafe place.”
63% increase in rapes in the UK over a five year period. That’s pretty grim. Looks like Britain is becoming a pretty unsafe place. Now the rape capital of Europe by a sizeable margin. 🇬🇧 https://t.co/a76aSleFZu

Paris, the world gave you the Olympic truce for which President Macron asked — but now it’s au revoir to all that. Things previously swept under the carpet for a couple weeks of international kumbaya are now aswirl, some inextricably linked to events in the Middle East.
Antisemitic incidents, a staple of modern French life, are multiplying. On August 15, just days after the Olympic games concluded, a man was filmed hurling antisemitic remarks at a woman riding the metro in the 16th district of Paris — one of the capital’s toniest neighborhoods. According to footage evaluated by French police, the aggressor’s insults included “Hitler was right” and “you’re going to pay” as well as the additional libel of “you’re committing crimes against humanity.”
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said he is as “disgusted as any Canadian” that Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi found his way into Canada. A House of Commons committee will now study how an alleged former Islamic State fighter became a citizen only to be caught planning a terrorist attack with his son Mostafa Eldidi on July 31.
While Ahmed Eldidi faces charges of aggravated assault in a foreign country, the allegations have the hallmarks of a war crime. Canada should prosecute them – and it has the laws and the obligation to do so.
Justin will likely appoint him to the senate.
Many questions are left unanswered around the foiled alleged terrorist plot in Toronto covered by a publication ban, especially on how one of the suspects obtained citizenship and whether any other similarly inclined individuals could be lying in wait.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this week that departments are conducting a review of the matter and findings would be shared at the “appropriate moment.”
Thousands of Afghan citizens who have claimed asylum in Germany have flown back to their home country for a holiday before returning to Germany according to an explosive report by the German television channel RTL. The revelations shore up the argument made by anti-immigration parties that many of those seeking ‘refuge’ in Germany are actually abusing the asylum system and have only headed to Western Europe to gain social benefits.
One of the things most associated with Great Britain is the pub culture. Seemingly, every novel has a scene in a pub or tavern where the locals gather, not to carouse or drink themselves into a silent, depressed stupor, but, instead, to come together as a community. It is a watering hole offering beer and whiskey—or, as some might say, the very water of life itself. But the UK’s new Labour government is not on board with this ancient culture. And importantly, it’s not waging a war to fight alcohol abuse; rather, it wants to keep Muslims happy.
Mass immigration has become problematic in every developed nation on earth. Migrants from Islamic nations have been flooding en masse into European and North American countries and they are integrating poorly to say the least. As migrant-based disorder spreads and riots break out, defenders of the status quo are trying to quell all debate by labelling people as “far right” and of course as racists.
Is it that a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian or is it sometimes that a Canadian is a terrorist who should have citizenship revoked? That’s the question many are asking after the Trudeau government began musing about stripping Ahmed Eldidi of his citizenship.
A 26-year-old Toronto man accused of plotting a deadly ISIS-inspired rampage previously lived in Egypt and once studied at a U.S. university, CBC News has learned.
Mostafa Eldidi and his father, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, were arrested last month and charged with terrorism offences over what police described as a plan to carry out “a serious, violent attack in Toronto.”
On Thursday, Mostafa Eldidi’s lawyer, Nate Jackson, appeared in court on his behalf for the first time. He told the court he would be meeting with his new client in person in jail on Friday.
The Birju Dattani fiasco exposed how easy it can be for the wrong people to slide past detection into obscenely well-paying government jobs, that arm them with tremendous power over Canadians.
This happens too often in the Liberal government to be an “honest mistake” or a failure of process.
