A heavy police presence was evident during the Al-Quds rally held in downtown Toronto on Saturday.
Two arrests were made in the early going. Toronto police said in X post that they were “on the ground today to uphold the right to demonstrate lawfully while holding those who engage in criminal activity accountable.”
Our elites have turned Canada into a shithole.
Last week, gunfire struck three synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area. We have grown accustomed to the response: hollow expressions of sympathy, feeble condemnations and the familiar promise that the city stands with the Jewish community.
But what is unfolding in Toronto is not an abstract rise in hateful rhetoric. It is the steady normalization of violence against Jews, and the city’s leadership appears determined to ignore the reality that we are at risk of a mass-casualty attack targeting the Jewish community.
The rot runs deep. Chow is just one public symptom.

A study tracks how the North American Free Trade Agreement and trade competition with Mexico led to earlier deaths for American factory workers.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, the deal that began integrating the Mexican economy with the United States and Canada in the 1990s, has been a politically charged topic for decades.
Centrist Democrats and Republicans supported the agreement as a way to strengthen the North American economy. But its legacy has been mixed. In some parts of the United States, the agreement shuttered factories and put people out of work as companies moved production to Mexico, where labor was cheaper. President Trump won over unions and other workers as a candidate by labeling NAFTA the “worst agreement ever” and promising to improve or scrap it.
A new paper adds to the understanding of NAFTA’s costs. In it, economists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago found that American workers in communities that were more exposed to competition from Mexican imports saw a significant shortening of their life spans after the trade deal went into effect in 1994.

In the rugged interior of Newfoundland, an hour’s drive west from the Canadian Forces Base in Gander, sits a dormant mine with profound implications for the nation’s security and prosperity. Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.
Friday night was, I believe, night eight of the protests that have broken out across Cuba, and it was the biggest, boldest night yet. Of course, people are still banging pots and pans and marching in the streets, shouting things such as “Freedom,” “Long live Trump,” and “Down with communism,” but night eight got a little more serious.
BREAKING:
Massive protests are currently underway in Cuba amid fuel shortages.
Crowds reportedly stormed the Communist Party headquarters in Ciego de Avila.

OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he’s planning to pitch a “realistic proposal” to end U.S. tariffs on the Canadian auto industry this weekend.
He says his proposed auto pact would align regulations between Canada and the U.S. and remove the GST from Canadian-made vehicles.
He told reporters his plan, which he intends to roll out on Sunday, is “literally the only hope of keeping our auto sector in Canada.”
If one steps back from the daily noise of partisan bickering and looks at the broader picture in the United States today, some media outlets and political figures appear so consumed by hostility toward the current president that they seem incapable of evaluating events rationally.

Six days in an overflow stretcher. Beds in storage rooms. Patients dying in their seats.
No, we’re not describing an episode of HBO’s gritty medical drama The Pitt. These are real-life scenes playing out in Canada’s emergency rooms.
From Carbonear, N.L., where a man recently died of a heart attack during a 10-hour wait to see a doctor, to Calgary, where a woman pleaded “please don’t let me die” during the hours she bled onto a stretcher in the ER, hospitals are bursting at the seams as backlogs and access issues affect patient flow.
In a scene straight out of a dystopian nightmare, self-styled “Sharia patrols” on horseback charged through Manchester’s streets on March 4, 2026, chasing down peaceful demonstrators celebrating the end of Iran’s brutal Islamic Republic regime.

Rocker Neil Young says he’s “sad” and “depressed” by the news of the day under President Donald Trump and he needs to put out a new, Anti-Trump album to express his feeling about what he called the “worst president in the history of our country.”
The Canadian citizen who only became a U.S. citizen in 2020 so he could vote against Trump, claims he is “hurt for this country.”
New polling suggests the public is anxious about escalation and prefers neutrality and de-escalation, placing pressure on the Carney government to tread carefully as the conflict unfolds
The war in Iran broke into the news cycle quickly and dramatically two weeks ago today. Within hours it was dominating international headlines, raising fears of wider conflict across the Middle East, and prompting urgent debate among Western allies about how they should respond.
Canada was not immune to that debate.
A newly released study by the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), nearly 50 percent of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold “Islamist” views, with these Muslims expressing an attraction to Islamism, a preference for Sharia law over the German Basic Law, and harboring anti-Semitic prejudices.
