Pierre Poilievre has called on the federal government to label Samidoun a terrorist group.
His announcement came following a night of anti-Israel protests across Canada on the one year anniversary of the October 7 attack, including in Vancouver, where the Western Standard caught attendees openly saying “we are Hamas” and burning Canadian flags.
BREAKING
Pierre Poilievre has called on the federal government to label Samidoun a terrorist organization.
Missing the Oct. 7 commemoration is beyond the pale of normal political behaviour or basic human decency and can’t be glossed over. For a mayor to not attend Toronto’s candlelight vigil to remember the 1,200 people slaughtered at the hands of Hamas one year ago on Oct. 7 is the final straw when it comes to Chow’s disrespect for Toronto’s Jewish community.
Do we love our Western way of life enough to defend it from those who love death?
In 633 CE, a year after Muhammad’s death, the commander of the new Muslim armies wrote a letter to the Persian emperor, Yazdegerd III, the last king of the great Sassanid dynasty.
“Submit,” Khalid ibn al-Walid declared, “or you will be conquered by men who love death as you love life.”
To the emperor, the general must have seemed like a madman. How could the Persian Empire, standing for more than 400 years, be threatened by those who love death?
… Is there a political cost to being associated with hate? No, it turns out, as members of Parliament like Jenica Atwin and Ahmed Hussen continue to sit as senior members of the diversity-championing Liberal caucus despite being involved in antisemitic controversies.
Should Canada fund organizations that plausibly aid terrorist activities? Yes, according to our government, which restored financial support to UNRWA despite evidence that some of the organization’s employees participated in the October 7 massacre.
Osama bin Laden’s son, expelled from France over a tweet deemed to have glorified terrorism, has been barred from returning to the country.
Omar bin Laden, 43, lived in a village in Normandy with his British wife, Zaina al-Sabah bin Laden, for seven years painting landscapes until he was expelled last year. The fourth son of the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, he now lives in Qatar.
On Saturday, a self-proclaimed journalist named Samira Mohyeddin posted on X that “tens of thousands” of people were marching in Toronto to mark the one-year anniversary of “Israel’s relentless bombardment and genocide” in Gaza. The new journalism fellow at the University of Toronto’s Women and Gender Studies Institute, and former producer of CBC’s The Current, made no mention of what had prompted the “relentless bombardment.”
I can’t presume to speak to Mohyeddin’s personal politics, but her post reflects the view held by a distressingly large number of young Canadians who have formed an unholy alliance with Palestinian activists.
“Death to Canada! Death to the United States! And Death to Israel!” said a #Vancouver Samidoun activist at the Art Gallery. She praised Oct 7th Hamas terrorists & said to crowd:“we must do it” in apparent call for violence. pic.twitter.com/nwEuXAum1X
The Reform Party has vowed to launch a private prosecution of the men suspected of assaulting police officers at Manchester airport in July if the Crown Prosecution Service does not charge them.
Video of the incident went viral after it appeared to show an officer kicking and stamping on the head of Fahir Amaaz, 19, as he and his brother Amaad, 25, were restrained by officers.
This is the horrifying moment a one-year-old girl was slapped by a raging man in Barcelona.
Shocking footage shows the man screaming at the family of tourists, including the little girl standing in front of him.
At first the man pretended to hit toddler, stopping just inches from her face, before he took another swing at the one-year-old girl, smacking her left cheek.

In 2015, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany swung open wide the gates to her country, and welcomed more than a million Muslim migrants with her famous — now infamous — remark that “Wir schaffen das!” “We can do this.” But in the nearly decade since, it turns out that the people and government of German “can’t do this.” They cannot integrate successfully millions of Muslim economic migrants. The government cannot turn them into loyal and productive citizens. Many of them continue to avoid employment, and instead batten on the many benefits that the generous welfare state of Germany provides: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (without having been previously employed), family allowances, and more. When they want more than those benefits, Muslims more often than the indigenous Germans turn to crime — street robberies, house burglaries. Some also engage in the sexual molestation and rape of German girls and women who, by their dress and demeanor, appear to these primitive Muslim minds to “be asking for it.”
The Hamas-led attack has convinced the country that it must take the battle to its enemies
TEL AVIV—One year after the brutal Hamas attack that ended Israel’s two-decade golden age of relative peace, expanding wealth and growing diplomatic ties, the country is now firmly on the counterattack and preparing to be at war for years.
Weathering a ferocious Iranian missile assault in recent days and shaking off calls from allies for a cease-fire in Gaza, Israel is instead opening new theaters of fighting.
It launched a stunning series of attacks against the Lebanese-militia Hezbollah in Lebanon in recent weeks, while simultaneously targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen, rooting out militancy in the occupied West Bank and mapping out its next steps against Iran, the architect of a so-called axis of resistance that includes U.S.-designated terrorist groups bent on destroying Israel.
We need to have some difficult conversations about our race-to-the-bottom immigration policies
As news broke on October 7, 2023, of Hamas terrorists running rampant in Israel, wreaking unspeakable violence on innocent civilians, the celebratory mood in the Canadian pro-Hamas camp manifested itself in a most despicable and un-Canadian way: the glorification of terrorism.
For most Canadians, unaccustomed to the reality that terrorists enjoy more goodwill than Jews in the Middle East, the celebrations were an eye-opener and a harbinger of far worse to come.
While a Pakistani man living in the Toronto area was allegedly planning a mass murder of Jews in New York, he was also seeking refugee status in Canada, according to an immigration consultant.
The U.S. is now aiming to extradite Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 19, after he was arrested by RCMP in a dramatic operation on Sept. 4 in Ormstown, Que., not far from the U.S. border.
The FBI alleges Khan told undercover officers he was building an ISIS cell to “slaughter” as many Jewish civilians as possible in a violent rampage around the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.
Thousands of lives were forever altered and upended when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, butchering more than 1,200 people and kidnapping 251 others.
Those hostages whom Hamas abducted and dragged to Gaza as human shields and bargaining chips quickly became a rallying cry.
The fact that people are celebrating on this solemn anniversary shows how deeply entrenched antisemitism has become
One year ago today, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, committing horrific atrocities. Since that day, Canadian Jews have existed in an extended state of mourning and grief, not only because of the horrific massacre and the ongoing captivity of the hostages trapped in the tunnels of Gaza, but also because of the denial, justification and even celebration of these events. The Jewish community should have had time to grieve, but were instead forced to grapple with new waves of antisemitism here in Canada.
Well Golly Gee Deb what can little old me do about it?
I didn’t import a hate cult by the hundreds of thousands, successive Canadian governments of all stripes did that.
It wasn’t me that encouraged “newcomers” to bring their ethnic and religious hatreds along with them. Multicult did that.
And if our universities churn out frothing at the mouth lunatics well it’s what our elites wanted and they know best.
Heck our current government subsidizes “anti-racist” hate groups that seek to criminalize dissent but only “right-wing dissent” lead by the brightest lights of Canada’s vibrant diversity.
If we did speak out about it we’d risk being called racists or worse Islamophobes!
I support Israel pity my own government seeks to rob me of my own nation.
No need for you and your tone deaf cronies to look in the mirror though.
No idea who these people are but I bet they probably would have called me a racist or Islamophobe on Oct 6. Heck they probably still do.
Its been one year since the horrific attacks of Oct 7 took place which saw hundreds taken hostage, and thousands killed or injured.
Words cannot describe the pain that so many felt, and still feel to this day.
