CSIS head expressed ‘full confidence’ in employees despite ‘troubling’ leak on foreign interference

The head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told employees he stood by the spy agency’s handling of sensitive information following a “troubling” leak of classified material, a newly released memo shows.

In a Feb. 24 message to staff, CSIS director David Vigneault expressed continuing faith in employees’ dedication and adherence to the law after a newspaper story cited secret spy service documents on foreign interference.

“The source of this leak is troubling for the Canadian government and, of course, for us here at CSIS,” Vigneault said in the memo, obtained by The Canadian Press through the Access to Information Act.

UK: Muslim Police adviser led ‘from the river to the sea’ chant

A hard-Left activist who was filmed leading chants of “from the river to the sea” at a pro-Palestinian rally is an adviser to the police on their response to protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict, The Telegraph can disclose.

Attiq Malik, a solicitor who has also railed against “global censorship by the Zionists”, was present in the police operations room during protests last month.

A video uncovered by The Telegraph shows Mr Malik instigating chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” in 2021, a slogan described by Downing Street as “deeply offensive” to many.

Pictured: the faces of the Israeli hostage crisis

On the morning of October 7, Hamas terrorists broke out of Gaza and went on the rampage in Israel, killing more than 1,400 people and taking an unknown number of hostages back to the territory.

Those abducted men, women and children are now vital bargaining chips as Israel intensifies its attacks on Gaza from the ground and the air while diplomats engage in a frantic cycle of international negotiation.

The left’s Palestinian cover girl has revealed herself to be a proud, ghoulish Nazi

Ahed Tamimi. Raised Rabid.

Despite their fealty to “People of Color,” members of the media just love blonds, especially when those blonds are photogenic young women who slap around Israeli soldiers. No one was more beloved than Ahed Tamimi, a young woman from a village in the West Bank who got the star treatment after a video of her violent act went viral. The same outlets that once thrilled to her dynamism, though, have been strangely silent since she’s revealed an openly expressed, antisemitic genocidal bloodthirstiness that makes actual Nazis look kind of colorless.

20 Years and Thousands of Rapes Later, UK STILL Hasn’t Come to Grips With Its Grooming Gang Scandal

Wednesday marked twenty years since the fateful day that a fourteen-year-old girl in the seaside English resort town of Blackpool went missing; Charlene Downes was never seen again, and authorities believe she was murdered. As the ghastly story of what happened to her unfolded, it became appallingly clear that she was only one of thousands of British girls who had suffered a least some of the terrible ordeal she went through before she was killed. Yet even now that two decades have passed, Britain still hasn’t fully faced what happened to Charlene and the other victims or taken any serious steps to prevent what happened to them from happening to any young girl ever again.

Colby Cosh: Trudeau’s carbon tax climb-down unmasks SCC as gullible bunch

A million years ago … pardon me, my notes indicate rather surprisingly that it was the spring of 2021. Two and a half years ago, the Supreme Court found in favour of the federal government in the case of the References re Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA). It was a tricky division of powers question.

Since manmade climate change is a global collective action problem, laws to curtail greenhouse gas emissions aren’t inarguably in the natural bailiwick of either the federal government or the provinces. The federal Liberals made such a law, applying a “backstop” carbon price to — IN THEORY — the federation as a whole.

Jewish Viewers Find a Refuge in Fox News

The network’s unflinching support for Israel in its fight against Hamas has put the conservative network in the good graces of many Jews who see other coverage of Israel as biased.

Ross Abramson, a software engineer and recent New York University graduate, had a fairly conventional news diet until recently. He regularly checked his phone for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. And as a Jew with an interest in Israel, he would browse a handful of outlets like The Times of Israel.

Then the brutal Hamas-led attack on Israel happened on Oct. 7, and Mr. Abramson found himself turning to an outlet he said he didn’t rely on much before: Fox News.

“Did I watch it religiously before? No,” he said, adding that he found Fox’s reporting and commentary on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza “less antagonistic for sure” than that of other news organizations. “You don’t feel as attacked,” Mr. Abramson said.

Ottawa’s latest immigration plans fail to move the needle, on housing and in Quebec

Marc Miller – Got the job because he’ll say anything he’s told.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this week took a baby step toward recognizing its immigration policy needs some fixing by halting future increases in the number of permanent newcomers the country intends to accept.

Still, Immigration Minister Marc Miller seemed to suggest that ”stabilizing” the number of new permanent residents at 500,000 constitutes a concession on his government’s part. Yet, under Mr. Miller’s plan, Canada is still on track to accept more new permanent residents next year (485,000) than it will absorb this year (465,000), or than it did last year (more than 437,000) before the number tops out at 500,000 in both 2025 and 2026.

Liberals go online to test messages attacking Poilievre’s record

The Liberal Party is beta-testing new videos attacking Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, one of which compares him to former U.S president Donald Trump.

The party confirms that a video it posted online earlier this week was its first to splice together footage of both Poilievre and Trump.

The Liberals’ video uses Polievre’s own recent viral apple-eating moment — when he got into a brusque exchange with a local journalist in B.C. — and attempts to show him taking a page out of Trump’s political playbook. The video shows Poilievre and Trump using similar language.

Why a party for Muslims is a terrible idea

More religious identity politics is the last thing Britain needs.

These are tense times for the Labour Party. Against the backdrop of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, there is growing disillusionment within the party over leader Keir Starmer’s opposition to the calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.

More than 60 Labour MPs have now called for a ceasefire, including 15 frontbenchers. London mayor Sadiq Khan and Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham have also joined in, as have around 330 local councillors. More than 30 councillors have actually resigned from Labour over Starmer’s stance. This includes nine resignations in Oxford, meaning that Labour has lost control of the council – relinquishing the majority it has held there since 2010.
