The Biased Media: What They Make It Their Business Not to See

Earlier this month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of committing “genocide” in the Gaza Strip in its counterterrorism operation against the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group. Hamas had launched the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, murdering 1,200 Israelis, wounding thousands, and kidnapping more than 240 hostages. Erdogan, whose country has been hosting and supporting some of the leaders of Hamas, threatened that Israel will “eventually pay the price for this genocide.” He added: “There will be no peace in the world without accountability for the genocide in Gaza.”

The Rise and Fall of Canada’s Immigration Rates

Over the course of the past few years, the Liberal government overhauled Canada’s immigration policies and brought in record numbers of newcomers, before recently changing course.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) made a substantial change to its immigration policies on Oct. 24 in announcing cuts to its target numbers of new permanent residents over the next three years. The country’s targets will fall from 500,000 new permanent residents in each of the next two years to 395,000 in 2025 and 380,000 in 2026. The target will decline further to 365,000 in 2027.

At a press conference on Oct. 24, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the “aggressive” volume of immigration had “come with some challenges.”

“SOME CHALLENGES” – Trudeau’s plan is replacement scale immigration.

PBS Guest Ben-Ghiat Flips Out, Sees Trump Concentration Camps for Liberals

Monday evening’s PBS News Hour devoted its first 11 minutes of news — two full segments — to bashing Donald Trump’s long rally at Madison Square Garden in the heart of his hometown of New York City. White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez actually led with criticism from his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, not news about the rally itself.

With condos not selling, Canada faces worsening home ownership crisis

OTTAWA – Canada’s home ownership crisis is likely to worsen over the next few years as proposed project sales languish at historically low levels, stalling the funding needed for construction, half a dozen economists and realtors told Reuters.

The sale of these proposed projects, comprising an array of one- or two-bedroom condominiums in major hubs like Toronto, is commonly called pre-construction sales, and a bulk of these properties are usually bought by investors to rent out.

Thank Justin for this mess.

Police arrest suspect in £300,000 cheese ‘theft’

Detectives hunting alleged fraudsters who are believed to have stolen 22 tonnes of the world’s best cheddar from a luxury cheese seller have arrested a “person of interest”.

Sophisticated con artists allegedly spent four months convincing Neal’s Yard Dairy, the London wholesaler and retailer of artisan cheeses, that they were a real French cheese-buyer for a major distributor and supermarket, before making off with £300,000 worth of cloth-bound raw milk cheddar this month.

Are some rents in Canada part of a price-fixing scheme?

Cynthia Black believes her rent has been rigged.

Since 2022, the Toronto resident says she has twice faced annual rent increases of either seven or 11 per cent — depending on the lease type her household was offered — in two Livmore buildings owned by GWL Realty Advisors, a division of Canada Life.

The buildings were constructed after 2018, which means they are exempt from Ontario rent controls, which are currently set at an annual increase of 2.5 per cent.

Calls mount for Canada to bar UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks

The Canadian government is facing demands to bar Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur overseeing the Palestinian territories, from the country, following comments she made that have been called antisemitic.

Albanese is scheduled to speak at the University of Toronto on Nov. 7 about international law and genocide.

I doubt they will ban her. Trudeau covets the Mohammedan vote, he is in the thrall of the UN and his party is virtually Islamist in conviction.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is being mocked for his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris endorsement. “Go screw another nanny like Kamala’s husband did,” one social media user replied.

In a Wednesday X post, Schwarzenegger began his lengthy announcement of his Harris endorsement by claiming that people want to hear from him because he’s “a celebrity,” as well as “a former Republican Governor.”

Here’s why Pierre Poilievre is so afraid of the CBC

 

No wonder Pierre Poilievre wants to defund the CBC. The public broadcaster has barely shown him any deference.

Let’s start by noting that, contrary to the Conservative Leader’s claim, the CBC is not “the propaganda arm” of the Liberal government.” Overall, its reporting appears balanced. Now that doesn’t mean that the CBC treats climate denial as a legitimate point of view — rather than what it is: the rejection of well-established science.

The Star defending the CBC. Colour me shocked.

Germany: Manhunt after explosives left at Berlin station

A police search is underway on Thursday in the German capital, Berlin, after a man left a bag of explosives at a Berlin train station on Wednesday evening.

A police officer told the daily Berliner Zeitung that “it seems as if an attack has been prevented,” as an explosion caused by the contents of the bag would have had “dramatic consequences” if it occurred near a group of people.

The man ran away after he was subjected to a check by police officers.
