Migrants Abandon Caravan As Trump Win Kills ‘Dream of Getting Out’

Migrants are abandoning a caravan headed for the United States because Donald Trump’s election win has dashed their “dream of getting out”.

The caravan, which began earlier this week in southern Mexico, included approximately 3,000 migrants seeking asylum or economic opportunities in the U.S.

However, as news of the President Elect’s victory reached their phones, many decided to turn back, fearing deportation.Trump has vowed to initiate a mass deportation program during his next term in the White House.

Gracious in defeat…

Trudeau government speaking with allies about Palestinian statehood recognition, official tells MPs

Last Night In Amsterdam

Ottawa has been speaking with like-minded countries about recognizing a Palestinian state, a government official told a committee of parliamentarians studying the quickest path toward such a declaration Thursday afternoon.

“We’re taking notes, we’re talking to each other, we’re weighing the considerations as a group of very like-minded countries,” said Alexandre Lévêque, assistant deputy minister for Europe, the Middle East and Arctic Branch.

Lévêque would not name any of the countries in question, citing the confidential nature of diplomatic conversations.

Ultra-rich using jets like taxis, climate scientists warn

The mega-rich are using private jets like taxis, warn climate scientists who tracked flights to calculate the planet-warming gases they release.

The scientists worked out that the carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to climate change, rose by 46% between 2019 and 2023.

Researchers traced all private flights globally, including summer weekend trips to Ibiza, Spain and travel to the Fifa World Cup and the UN climate conference in Dubai.

These would be the same folks who want you to give up your car and take public transit – for the environment.

Chairman Chow and her deputy must be ecstatic

As Toronto prepares for the annual Santa Claus parade, that festive jingling sound isn’t coming from sleigh bells, but a collection cup.

Facing rising costs amid Canada’s ongoing affordability crisis, the 120th edition of the parade is in financial hot water, prompting organizers to issue a GoFundMe campaign to help keep the annual tradition on the street.

On Election Day, Biden-Harris Admin Quietly Waived Terrorism Sanctions on Palestinian Government, Docs Show

Just before Tuesday’s presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration quietly waived mandatory terrorism sanctions on the embattled Palestinian government—even as it determined that the government’s leaders are paying imprisoned terrorists and fomenting violence in breach of U.S. law.

The State Department, in a non-public notice to Congress, determined that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) are not complying with agreements to curb terrorism against Israel and end the “pay-to-slay” program, which rewards imprisoned terrorists for committing acts of violence.

Gary Mauser: Do Canadians Have the Right to Carry Arms?

Canadians are worried about being victimized by violent criminals, according to a national survey recently released by the Canadian government. Unlike Americans, Canadians often lack the means to defend themselves against unprovoked attacks by strangers or in violent home invasions, even though the controversial law permits a robust self defence.
Both Canada and the United States inherited the right to bear arms found in the English Magna Carta of 1689, but, despite this common heritage, their paths diverged widely since their founding. While the American Constitution protects the right to bear arms, Canadian elites effectively surrendered this basic right. Canadian elites gradually abandoned their duty to uphold the basic rights outlined in the Magna Carta, despite widespread popular support for the right to bear arms. This summary is drawn from a series of articles published in the Dorchester Review.

The Pogrom In Amsterdam

“Globalize the Intifada!” is one of the slogans of pro-Palestinian organizations in the United States. We now see what it means as a brutal pogrom fouls the streets of Amsterdam. Just ponder this description of events in the biggest Dutch city last night:

What we know so far is that [Maccabi Tel Aviv] fans were ambushed, six are reported missing, attackers were armed with clubs and knives, Israelis were thrown into rivers and run over by cars, their passports was stolen and published online, fathers walking with their children were attacked by mobs, women were beaten in the streets, many beaten unconscious, two emergency planes have been dispatched from Ben Gurion airport to evacuate citizens immediately, the local authorities are overwhelmed …

OK so was this started by some ill-considered antics? No I’m not suggesting a pogrom was justified I’m just saying be forewarned before going off half-cocked …

From the Daily Mail …

Israeli football hooligans tear down Palestine flags in Amsterdam as taxi drivers ‘fight back’ in night of chaos ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s visit to Ajax

 

This is from the Telegraph echoing the Daily Mail’s take on events …

Watch: Israeli football fans attacked by pro-Palestine mob in Amsterdam

The violence came after hundreds of Maccabi supporters gathered at the city’s National Monument in Dam Square where police made several arrests on Thursday for breach of peace.

Earlier, video shared on social media in the lead up to the football match showed the visitors were shouting “F— Palestine” and tearing down Palestinian flags.

Wayne Gretzky and family attend Trump election night event at Mar-a-Lago

It would appear Wayne Gretzky can be added to the list of high-profile professional athletes and sports figures who support U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump.

The Great One attended an exclusive A-list event at the Republican nominee’s Mar-a-Lago resort in West Pam Beach, Fla., on Tuesday night, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Tesla founder and X-owner Elon Musk and UFC president Dana White as team Trump awaited results.

Trump’s Podcast Offensive Worked

Early Wednesday morning, as Donald Trump declared victory, he invited Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White onstage during his speech. “This is what happens when the machine comes after you,” White boomed, sounding like he was teeing up a cage match. “This is karma, ladies and gentlemen!”

Why exactly, on the eve of one of the biggest political comebacks in American history, was the man responsible for mainlining mixed martial arts to the mainstream given top billing?

I think Rogan’s interviews with both Trump and Vance played a significant role.

An end run around the MSM humanized Trump and introduced Vance as not just a good VP candidate but a future presidential contender.

Looking at Trump’s victory, I couldn’t stop thinking about Doug Ford and bike lanes

As the results rolled in on Tuesday night and it became clear that the United States was moving back toward Donald Trump, I thought about Doug Ford and bike lanes.

The Ontario premier has moved with great haste to implement a quasi-ban on the construction of new bike lanes in the province, and in the city of Toronto he has gone further, moving to tear out existing lanes on three busy downtown streets. No one can seriously believe that removing some bike lanes will make a noticeable difference on traffic. If anything, it will just invite more cars into an already-choked downtown. What will the Premier say when the gridlock doesn’t improve?

This guys gonna have a TDS seizure …

Majority support Doug Ford’s plan for bike lanes, poll suggests

Ontarians support Premier Doug Ford’s controversial bid to curb municipal bike lanes by a two-to-one margin, a new poll suggests.

Abacus Data also found 72 per cent of respondents back Ford’s $200 “tax rebate” cheques, although about half believe the $3 billion would be better spent on improving public services such as health care or education.

A majority — 55 per cent — approved of the premier’s proposal to force municipalities to get provincial approval for bike lanes that would interfere with vehicular traffic.

Sexism didn’t lose Kamala Harris the election. She was just a terrible candidate

Since Kamala Harris’s decisive loss to former president Donald Trump on Tuesday night, the legacy media has blamed the regular bogeymen: sexism and misogyny. It’s Hillary Clinton déjà vu. Men just weren’t ready for a woman to take the White House, they lament.

But it turns out that many women weren’t ready either.

City of Calgary posts traffic sign degrading Trump on election day

Bad choice for mayor

The City of Calgary has confirmed responsibility for a traffic sign in downtown Calgary on Tuesday that states: “Don’t let your driving by like US politics.”

City officials meant it to be “lighthearted” and “hoped” it would “bring a smile” to people’s faces as they commute.
