The Explosion of Jew-Hate in Justin Trudeau’s Canada

We rarely run pieces this long. But today’s investigation—the story of how antisemitism became deeply embedded in Justin Trudeau’s Canada—called for it. This is a piece worth reading carefully. It is relevant not just to our many Canadian readers, but to anyone invested in the future of the West. —Bari Weiss

For Sarah Rugheimer, a professor of astronomy at York University in Toronto, the first sign of the virulent strain of antisemitism now embedded in Justin Trudeau’s Canada appeared on a lamppost.

It was a few weeks after the Hamas massacre of last October 7. Rugheimer, 41, was walking in a park near her home in the city’s quiet Cedarvale neighborhood when she saw a poster of the Israeli hostage Elad Katzir, a 47-year-old farmer from Kibbutz Nir Oz, covered with swastikas.

In the days that followed, as the war raged in Gaza, swastikas turned up all over Cedarvale. They also started appearing on the York campus, where Rugheimer serves as the Allan I. Carswell Chair for the Public Understanding of Astronomy. As fall turned to winter, a swastika showed up in the snow outside the campus building where she works.

The Coming Fight to Abolish DEI

There is a great clanging and clamoring around the offices in Washington, D.C. and Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Political operatives, policy wonks, and opposition figures are all planning for the arrival of the second Donald Trump administration.

I’ve spoken with many of the people in the president-elect’s orbit who are planning how to staff Cabinet departments and set a new tone on the administration’s first day. Much of our discussion has focused on the approach to DEI, or “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

Adam Zivo: If the courts won’t let Ford clear the homeless out of the parks, Sec. 33 will

Poverty activists are condemning Doug Ford’s Ontario government for threatening to use the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ notwithstanding clause to clear homeless encampments. Invoking the clause, however, is an entirely justifiable response to a recent, precedent-setting Superior Court ruling that used shaky logic to grant encampments borderline-immunity from public accountability.

Rebottled Jew-Hate: The Boycott of Jewish Genius

Somewhat covertly, in November 2024, Ayelet Shaked, a former Israeli Minister of Justice, was shockingly denied permission to enter Australia for the purpose of participating in a conference discussing current Middle East events. The conference was hosted by the Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), and intended to be a Jewish community event.

Colin Rubenstein, executive director of AIJAC, denounced the visa denial, made without a reason being disclosed at the time, by Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke. In Rubenstein’s view, “The decision to refuse a visa to… Shaked on the grounds that she would vilify Australians and incite discord among the community is a disgraceful act of hostility towards a democratic ally.”

Lawyer cites 300 potential cases against Diddy

A lawyer representing several alleged victims of Sean “Diddy” Combs says the potential number of civil legal cases against the musician “is probably in the 300 range”.

Tony Buzbee told the BBC his team had received about 3,000 calls since he held a news conference calling for clients in October.

He has already issued 20 lawsuits from men and women seeking damages from the musician; and says that “realistically” the final total will be “about 100 to 150”. Others will not make it to court because the time limit for filing claims has expired in certain states.

I wonder who among the glitterati has bought silence?

Legacy Media Refused To Publish UnitedHealthcare CEO Murderer’s Manifesto

Legacy media outlets like CNN, NBC, The Washington Post and The New York Times reportedly possessed a full copy of the manifesto written by Luigi Mangione, who allegedly murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but refused to publish it, according to independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.

Klippenstein, who published the full manifesto on his website, accused the outlets of withholding the document in a tweet Tuesday.

MPs call for crackdown on student protest encampments, ban on display of terror symbols

In two reports on antisemitism and Islamophobia in Canada, Liberal and NDP MPs on the House of Commons justice committee said Ottawa should take steps to keep student protest encampments off university grounds, criminally ban the display of terrorist emblems and recognize anti-Palestinian discrimination as a unique form of hate.

The antisemitism report’s first recommendation says the government should work with provinces and territories to see that universities ensure “encampments are not permitted,” and to determine “what the rules are for protests and demonstrations, including that hateful speech, and speech that incites and justifies violence, will not be tolerated.”

… The two reports, which together offer 34 recommendations, were drafted by the House of Commons standing committee on justice and human rights after it heard from Jewish and Muslim advocacy groups, university students, administrators and academics.


Everybody thinks they can tweak the law to favour their side. It’s a foolish game that always backfires.

Our rights to free speech should not be constrained by political agendas. As we have witnessed with Section 13 that way leads to tyranny.

Khamenei: US, Israel responsible for Assad’s ouster, ‘resistance’ to span entire region

Tehran has evidence that the events that took place in Syria leading to the ousting of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad were planned by the United States and Israel, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, according to Iranian state news agency IRNA.

“There should be no doubt that what happened in Syria is the result of a joint American and Zionist plan.” Khamenei reportedly noted.
