WARMINGTON: Organizer says Sinwar vigil still on despite Mississauga mayor’s denial
This is Mississauga. Not Gaza.
Seems some are having a difficult time understanding that.
In a mysterious video posted to social media, the supposed organizer of an upcoming martyr “vigil” for Hamas’s deceased leader — killed by Israel last month — promises it will happen at Celebration Square in Mississauga as if it was in Gaza.
Discord leaker Jack Teixeira sentenced to 15 years for massive disclosure of U.S. secrets
BOSTON — Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guard member responsible for a sprawling leak of classified information, was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison in a case that shook the U.S. national security community and exposed the ease with which government secrets can spread online.
Joe Adam George: Khalistani-Hindu clashes product of Trudeau’s post-national experiment
In what has now become a common theme in the streets of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s post-national Canada, chaos and extremist violence marred an otherwise joyous occasion for the Canadian-Indian community celebrating Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas — festivals that symbolize the spiritual victory of good over evil and fighting injustice and oppression.
Regina first Canadian city to host Palestine flag-raising ceremony
Regina will hold a Palestine flag-raising ceremony, making it the first Canadian city to host such an event.
The Palestinian flag-raising ceremony takes place on Friday, marking a significant moment for local Palestinian terrorist supporters.
Trump’s Pollster: Corporate Media Polls, Guided By Bias, Missed Again
After Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis’ sham indictment of former President Donald Trump in mid-August 2023, the propaganda press wrote another addendum to the political obituary of the odds-on favorite for the Republican Party presidential nomination.
John McLaughlin predicted Trump would win the 2024 presidential race in a landslide.
Amsterdam Struggles to Quell Unrest Days After Attacks on Israeli Soccer Fans
Authorities in Amsterdam are grappling with unrest after violent assaults targeting Israeli soccer fans last week sparked outrage around the world and kicked off a charged debate over migration and integration in the Netherlands.
Amsterdam police said they had arrested five more people in connection with last week’s violence, which included targeted assaults on Israeli soccer fans by attackers who chased them through the streets on motorbikes. Four of those remained in custody as of late Monday, police said. Four others detained on Thursday and Friday also remained in custody, the Amsterdam prosecutor’s office said.

The Heartbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome
When I was a kid, America fretted about “the heartbreak of psoriasis,” an advertising catch-phrase that raised awareness to an almost hysterical degree about a skin condition that legitimately afflicts millions of people. Today, a legitimate psychological condition is bringing heartbreak to untold millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of Americans who need relief: Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS.
Immigration control will be central to Trump’s presidency
While Donald Trump’s most eye-catching appointment may be Marco Rubio, who is strongly tipped to become the next secretary of state, some of his other hires are just as revealing about the direction his presidency will take. Reports that Stephen Miller will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in the next administration, and the announcement that Tom Homan will be the new “border czar”, reveal two things about a second Trump White House. Firstly, that the incoming president is recruiting from a deeper populist bench this time around; and secondly, that he is placing immigration policy at the centre of his political vision.
President Trump: The Final Nail in the Coffin of the Global Environmental Agenda?
Another year, and another ‘Conference of the Parties’ (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will convene. The 29th COP is meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan. It started yesterday and will last for 11 days.
My view of the previous year’s UN climate jamboree, attended by a record-breaking 86,000 delegates, was realistically downbeat (some would say cynical)…

The Costco butter disaster illustrates why big government must go
Few regulatory agencies seem familiar with the expression, “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” Common sense also seems alien to them. How else can one explain that the FDA pushed Costco to recall 80,000 pounds of butter because the packaging didn’t have an allergy warning saying that the “cream” listed on the ingredients is a form of milk?
In case you were wondering, here’s info about how you can return or dispose of your butter, presumably to replace it with butter, which is also butter.https://t.co/6bBOlTvlyn

Sleepwalking Towards Nuclear War
Ireland recently signed a 10-year bilateral security arrangement with Ukraine. Simon Harris, our “far right”-condemning Taoiseach (prime minister), signed this deal. He did so despite the fact that, as I have outlined, Ukraine has a ‘far-right’ ultra-nationalist block, which, though electorally very small, has serious political influence and state support, especially since the U.S.-backed 2014 overthrow of the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych. Ukraine is also a nation which, quite tragically for the 73% of voters who elected Zelensky as president in 2019 on a promise of peace, is being militarily demolished on the battlefield.
GIESBRECHT: Another mass grave?
“My brother Rufus saw them take all those children and stand them up next to a big ditch, and then the soldiers shot them all and they all fell into that ditch. Some of the kids were still alive and they just poured the dirt in on top of them. Buried them alive.”
This mass murder happened in 1943 — not in Nazi-held Europe, but in Brantford, Ontario.
Tasha Kheiriddin: In the age of Trump, Canada must stem the refugee tide
U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump is not just revving his engines — he is ready to go. There have been a flurry of proclamations and appointments, including that of former ICE director Tom Homan as his “border czar.” What will Homan do in the role? At the 2024 National Conservatism Conference in Washington, he promised, “Trump comes back in January…. I will run the biggest deportation operation this country’s ever seen.” With 11 million migrants illegally in the country, he is not kidding.
