Wikipedia labels Muslim grooming gang scandal ‘moral panic’

The title of the Wikipedia article about Muslim grooming gangs in Britain has this week been changed to include the phrase “moral panic”. Previously titled “Muslim grooming gangs in the United Kingdom”, the name was altered on 7 October to “Grooming gang moral panic in the United Kingdom”.

Every Wikipedia article has a “Talk” function which allows users to request and debate edits. The change was confirmed by a user named “Sceptre”, who wrote: “There is a consensus that, if the article is to be kept (and for the meanwhile, it is to be kept), that ‘moral panic’ should be included in the article title to reflect how the subject is dealt with in reliable sources.”

Elon Musk names the rich Dems ‘who are terrified’ of Epstein and Diddy files becoming public

Elon Musk has claimed billionaires like Bill Gates are afraid of a Donald Trump win because it would lead to the release of the names of associates of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jeffrey Epstein.

The Tesla CEO, 50, made the unfounded claim in an interview with Tucker Carlson on the Musk-owned social media app X.

‘I think part of why Kamala’s getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is gonna become public,’ Musk said.

That would be great.

Canada Is Poor

Ten years ago, commentators were telling Americans their northern neighbor was a middle-class success story. Now, every province has lower median earnings than every state.

Last month I wrote a post about a comparison of GDP per capita between U.S. states and Canadian provinces. It found that Ontario would be the fifth-poorest U.S. state, Quebec would be second-poorest, and Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward Island would each be the poorest U.S. state, as measured by economic output per person.

A year later, Canada’s Jews are not the same

Like most Jews, I’m not the same person I was last Oct. 6. The magnitude of what happened the next day and since then has forever changed me and the reality for Jews in Canada and abroad.

A year ago, the darkest chapter in Jewish history since the Holocaust began with the invasion of southern Israel by Hamas terrorists who carried out wide-scale atrocities and kidnapped 251 children, women and men. That hit close to home for Jews everywhere including many who have family and friends in Israel.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Mélanie Joly is the one gaslighting Canadians about antisemitism

“Antisemitic mobs take to the street shouting, ‘From Palestine to Lebanon, Israel will soon be gone.’ … Will the government clearly and unequivocally condemn these genocidal chants from hateful mobs on our streets?”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked this question of Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly in the House of Commons on Oct. 7, the first anniversary of the most heinous attack on Jews since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, raped and murdered around 1,200 people and kidnapped over 250. Ever since, they have been busy spreading antisemitism, including on the streets of Canada.

How Howard Stern went from obscene shock jock to Kamala Harris’s ‘woke’ lapdog

After the Columbine shootings and the murder of 12 Colorado high school students and a teacher in April 1999, popular radio presenter Howard Stern went on the airwaves chasing chuckles. “Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls? They didn’t even do that?” wondered America’s most popular DJ of the shooters. “At least if you’re going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn’t you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I’d take them out with sex.”

Poilievre calls on feds to label Samidoun a terrorist group

Pierre Poilievre has called on the federal government to label Samidoun a terrorist group.

His announcement came following a night of anti-Israel protests across Canada on the one year anniversary of the October 7 attack, including in Vancouver, where the Western Standard caught attendees openly saying “we are Hamas” and burning Canadian flags.

WARMINGTON: Mayor Olivia Chow’s snubbing of Oct. 7 ceremony called ‘outrageous’

Missing the Oct. 7 commemoration is beyond the pale of normal political behaviour or basic human decency and can’t be glossed over. For a mayor to not attend Toronto’s candlelight vigil to remember the 1,200 people slaughtered at the hands of Hamas one year ago on Oct. 7 is the final straw when it comes to Chow’s disrespect for Toronto’s Jewish community.

Those who love death vs. those who don’t love life enough to fight

Do we love our Western way of life enough to defend it from those who love death?

In 633 CE, a year after Muhammad’s death, the commander of the new Muslim armies wrote a letter to the Persian emperor, Yazdegerd III, the last king of the great Sassanid dynasty.

“Submit,” Khalid ibn al-Walid declared, “or you will be conquered by men who love death as you love life.”

To the emperor, the general must have seemed like a madman. How could the Persian Empire, standing for more than 400 years, be threatened by those who love death?

“We love death more than you love life”.

Dan Pujdak: By failing to stand against antisemitism, our leaders have shown they stand for nothing

… Is there a political cost to being associated with hate? No, it turns out, as members of Parliament like Jenica Atwin and Ahmed Hussen continue to sit as senior members of the diversity-championing Liberal caucus despite being involved in antisemitic controversies.

Should Canada fund organizations that plausibly aid terrorist activities? Yes, according to our government, which restored financial support to UNRWA despite evidence that some of the organization’s employees participated in the October 7 massacre.

The Palestinian Tradition of Celebrating the Death of Jews

Palestinians have a custom of celebrating in the streets every time Israel is attacked or a Jew is murdered by terrorists.

The latest Palestinian celebrations took place on October 1, 2024, when Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel. The celebrations occurred even though some of the missiles fell in Palestinian areas in the West Bank and the only person killed was, ironically, a Palestinian man in the city of Jericho.

Canada’s peacekeeping commitments have plunged to an all-time low

In 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared that Canada was “back” on the international stage; not long after, his government promised to “renew Canada’s commitment to United Nations peace operations,” and pledged to send significantly more personnel. That’s important for UN peacekeeping, because it is only effective when countries from around the world contribute skilled military and police officers as part of broader political efforts to resolve the underlying causes of conflicts. And of course, many conflicts cry out for military observers and peace implementation forces around the world right now.

Our armed forces are no longer fit for purpose, lets look after Canada.
