Terence Corcoran: Can Avi Lewis radicalism save the NDP?

It was a pleasant evening in Toronto’s well-to-do downtown Annex neighbourhood last Wednesday as the usual mix of University of Toronto students, local residents and visitors strolled up and down Bloor Street to restaurants and other local amenities. There was one unusual event, however, as some pedestrians turned down a side street where, a few doors from the main drag, they found their way to the Tranzac Club.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has slammed “fat generals” and diversity initiatives that he says has led to decades of decay in the military.

Mr Hegseth made the comments at a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday, local time.

“We became the ‘Woke Department’. But not anymore.”

Blogger arrested for sharing anti-Hamas meme — and claims officer didn’t know about terror group’s crimes

A British blogger has been arrested at his home for sharing a meme saying “F–k Hamas.”

Pete North, 47, shared a video of police arriving at his home in Yorkshire late last Thursday and telling him he was being arrested because he “posted something on the internet” which someone from their hate crime team “didn’t appreciate.”

Even though his meme also said “f–k Palestine” and “f–k Islam,” the cops seemed most focused on him offending the terror group behind the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, North told the Telegraph.
