The heinous Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel left many Canadians, particularly in the Jewish community, deeply shocked and concerned about the questionable tone coming from our government.
This week, a number of world leaders have visited Israel to show their solidarity with the Jewish state. However, Canada’s response has been marked by efforts to evacuate its citizens from the region and a pledge of $10 million in aid to both sides, reflecting a faulty and shameful desire for neutrality.

This seems to be a big story, and most of the conservative media seems to have missed the fact that both parties in this business deal are World Economic Forum acolytes, not just one.
From time to time, I check in on the Young Global Leaders website to keep tabs on the alumni as well as the newcomers, and a year or two ago, one name in particular caught my attention: it was John R. Tyson, the CFO for Tyson Foods, Inc.

China and the U.S. are locked in a race to develop new weapons controlled by artificial intelligence, a battle that could determine the world’s balance of power.
“The race with China to build autonomous weapons systems is the defining defense challenge of the next 100 years,” Christopher Alexander, chief analytics officer at Pioneer Development Group, told Fox News Digital.

As Canadians across the country tightened their belts the past few years, the federal government was busy building an $8-million Barn on the grounds of Rideau Hall to serve as a storage facility.
The little-known, but pricey, pandemic-era construction project was overseen by the National Capital Commission, the feds’ supercharged parks-and-rec department responsible for maintaining Canada’s official residences.
Details of the project emerged from access-to-information records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. All told, the Barn cost taxpayers $8,049,853.

Canada is taking its baby steps toward a basic income program meant to broadly address poverty.
The Senate’s national finance committee began looking into Sen. Kim Pate’s proposal for a national framework for a universal basic income program on Oct. 17. Since as far back as the 1970s, Canada has flirted with the idea of a basic income program.
The push for a basic income program gained more momentum during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) — which paid out $2,000 a month to millions of Canadians — raised the possibility of a permanent income program.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s speech in the House of Commons Monday, rightly extolling Canadian values in these angry times, would have sounded authentic if he hadn’t betrayed many of those virtues.
“Our diversity is our strength,” he told Parliament at one point, revisiting one of his favourite themes. The shared values of freedom and respect were Canadian core principles, he explained. He was right. He was also right to highlight them after Hamas’ brutal invasion of Israel and subsequent springing-up of unwelcome rallies that cheered for terrorist “resistance” across Canada.
I wonder where the money will come from. US aid funneled through the UN? Perhaps money donated by other countries around the world?
Regardless of who picks up the tab, what we do know is that the Palestinian Authority has a program to pay family members of slain terrorists who died killing or trying to kill Jews.
OTTAWA—Some Muslim Liberal MPs say they’re afraid for their families and communities as the Israel-Hamas war has fuelled a rise in Islamophobia and racism over the last week.
Three MPs who spoke with the Star on Tuesday described feeling intense fear as they’ve seen disturbing reports of Islamophobia, including against their own family members, just as Jewish MPs have spoken out against an uptick in antisemitic incidents since the war started.
Muslims fear backlash from tomorrow’s planned atrocities.
An NYU student has admitted to tearing down posters of Israeli hostages – blaming her exploits on ‘misplaced anger’.
Yazmeen Deyhimi, a junior at NYU who once worked for the Anti-Defamation League and a self-acclaimed ‘activist,’ confessed to tearing down the flyers of hostages that were plastered outside NYU’s Tisch Hall on Monday and tossing them into the trash.
A now-viral video of their actions has sparked backlash, with many calling for the university to hold the three perpetrators accountable.
Canadian father wants to get his five children out of Gaza, but evacuation still impossible
From his perch outside the Nasser Hospital, in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Mansour Shouman can say with some certainty that Tuesday was the worst day so far.
He says he saw 100 bodies leave the hospital, wrapped in white sheets, bound for a graveyard. He describes seeing children asking the corpses of their parents to wake up and widows weeping on dead husbands. This was all on Tuesday.
“Man with Canadian passport seeks relief from foolish decision.”
MPs express alarm after @theJagmeetSingh tells Commons that Israel is sowing “the seeds of genocide” in Gaza.
“Yes or no, do you believe Israel is committing or is about to commit genocide?”

If you attend an official Remembrance Day ceremony next month at your local cenotaph or Royal Canadian Legion branch, you’re in for a surprise if the armed forces chaplain presiding says a prayer.
