There will never be a Palestinian state as long as…

Today is the first anniversary of October 7, 2023, the day Hamas terrorists committed the worst massacre against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, the day 1,200 people, men, women, children and babies, were slaughtered just for being Jewish or being in proximity to Jews, the day 250 people, from elderly Holocaust survivors to babies too young to begin to walk or talk, were abducted and taken to the dark tunnels Hamas built underneath Gaza, the day everything changed.

Isn’t Gaza preview enough of a Palestinian state?

Republican Loyalty and the Self-Delusions of ‘Never Trump’

In the closing weeks of the 1964 presidential campaign, at a rally in Marion, Ohio, I rose to meet my first test of Republican loyalty. Things were tough that fall and many in the party were keeping their distance from the nominee, ducking for cover, scurrying away to escape an impending landside. But not my older brother Chris and me. No sir, we were proud to step up on the platform, lend our unequivocal support, and even offer a kind of written endorsement for Barry M. Goldwater. The two profiles in courage were pictured in the next day’s Marion Star.

Young Canadians have turned against Trudeau

Canadians think Justin Trudeau is the worst prime minister since 1968. That might sound like hyperbole, but a recent poll revealed that 38% of Canadian respondents believe Trudeau to be the worst leader the country has seen in more than half a century. It’s no surprise, then, to see the Prime Minister’s Liberal Party fighting tooth and nail for second place with Jagmeet Singh’s Left-wing NDP, with both parties sitting 20 points behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.

Biden to Jews: ‘No’ to Defending against Iran’s Nuclear Weapons

If there is one rule under international law that is unequivocal, it is that a state that has been attacked by another state has the right to defend itself.

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations,” states Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

This is true for every country – except it seems for Israel. When it comes to the world’s only Jewish state, apparently, the rules do not apply.

I feel a little embarrassed when someone implies Biden is in control. I don’t know who is running the US but it certainly isn’t Joe Biden.

For a year, I’ve chosen to stay silent. But as an Arab Canadian, I feel I must now speak out

Consider this my coming out. Not as gay – that would be easier – but as Arab. It’s an identity I’ve kept under wraps for far too long, hidden from friends and society at large. But as the war in the Middle East erupts, particularly in Lebanon, the time for silence is over.

I wonder if society truly wants to hear from me. A Lebanese-Canadian child of immigrants, I’ve learned to fit in well enough to render my ethnicity invisible, allowing me to achieve academic and career successes – not too Arab, Canadian enough. But this past year has changed everything. Arabs. Jews. The bloodbath we have witnessed has forever transformed us all.

For me, the profound depth of my connection to my Arab identity is matched only by the gut-wrenching horror I now feel – one I never knew was possible.

“Former CBC Journalist.” Within the Canadian press a “both sides” normalization is taking place.

War is ugly business don’t start them especially in the middle east where most states fund and or harbour the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah.

Man accused of plotting NYC Oct. 7 attack made refugee claim in Canada: immigration consultant

While a Pakistani man living in the Toronto area was allegedly planning a mass murder of Jews in New York, he was also seeking refugee status in Canada, according to an immigration consultant.

The U.S. is now aiming to extradite Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 19, after he was arrested by RCMP in a dramatic operation on Sept. 4 in Ormstown, Que., not far from the U.S. border.

The FBI alleges Khan told undercover officers he was building an ISIS cell to “slaughter” as many Jewish civilians as possible in a violent rampage around the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.

Why Justin Trudeau can’t open the door Canadians have locked

There’s a reason why Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign puts out social-media ads with middle-aged men saying they will vote for her. And why Justin Trudeau keeps appearing on hour-long podcasts. It has to do with getting permission to change your mind.

It seems to be working a little for the U.S. Vice President. For Canada’s Prime Minister, not so much.

This piece goes off the rails in the 4th paragraph ignoring the post debate backlash against Fabulist Tim Walz.

And Trudeau’s criminal mismanagement of our suffering nation will never be forgotten or forgiven.

Your chances of owning a home in Canada were already decided at birth

In today’s Canada, the cradle you’re born into increasingly dictates whether you’ll ever hold the keys to your own home. This isn’t just a market fluctuation. It’s a boiled frog phenomenon.

Incremental changes – the steady rise in home prices, gradual policy shifts and slow-moving supply constraints – went largely unchallenged. By the time the severity of the crisis was recognized, many prospective homeowners were already cooked.

An interesting article marred by the author’s omission of mass immigration as the primary cause of Canada’s housing crisis.
