An official on Maryland’s Commission on Hate Crime Response compared Israel to Nazi Germany in a series of social-media posts. It claimed that reports of Hamas murdering Jewish babies were “fake.”
GREEN: Trudeau shatters myth of ‘ideal’ carbon tax
For several decades now, some economists have supported the idea of carbon taxes. An ideal carbon tax, they argue, is uniform across the economy, fuel/technology neutral, in lieu of — not atop of — additional regulations and subsidies, and revenue neutral.
Media Matters And The Fake News Era Go To Court: Taibbi
On Tuesday, X/Twitter filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America (MMfA), the media arm of political smear artist David Brock.
Brock made his living in the nineties attacking Democrats, pushing the Paula Jones story and writing The Seduction of Hillary Rodham, until announcing a religious conversion via his 1997 Esquire piece “Confessions of a Right-Wing Hitman” and moving to team blue to head up orgs like Media Matters and Correct the Record. Brock is a unique figure in our history, as perhaps no American has ever turned his face so completely inside out in public.
Should be an interesting trial.
John Ivison: Canada can’t defend democracy when our military’s out of service half the time
When Justin Trudeau spoke at the NATO summit in Lithuania in July, he trumpeted Canada’s future defence investments, from the $38.6 billion earmarked to upgrade NORAD to the $19-billion purchase of 88 F35 fighter jets.
“Canada is safeguarding freedom and security around the world,” he said.
But it is always better to judge politicians by their results, rather than their intentions.
TikToker Mizzy jailed as judge gives verdict on his pranks: ‘they’re not funny’
TikToker Mizzy has been told his pranks “are not funny” by a judge as he was jailed for the first time.
The social media star, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, was found guilty of two counts of breaching a court order prohibiting him from sharing videos of people without their consent at his trial last month.
In one of the offending videos, passersby were visible in the background as Mizzy said to the camera: “The UK law is a joke.”
WARMINGTON: 1930s-style Nazi intimidation in Europe is happening in Toronto schools in 2023
Nazi salutes, swastikas and Jewish stars on full display to intimidate and terrify Jewish children?
Not in 1930s Europe. In 2023 Toronto.A It’s happening in and around Toronto grade schools.
As Turkish Islamists Prepare To Sail to Gaza, the Cat Seems to Have Gotten President Biden’s Tongue
Turkish Islamists are planning to sail toward Gaza, possibly repeating a 2010 incident that triggered an international crisis. Will American naval assets, sent to the Mediterranean to avert a widened war, prevent the looming clash?
Up to 1,000 boats and ships will reportedly gather in Turkey tomorrow and start toward Gaza on Thursday. The flotilla will be manned by 4,500 people from 40 countries, “including anti-Zionist Jews,” the Turkish website Haber 7 reports, and 313 Russian and 104 Spanish vessels. Only 12 Turkish boats will join the flotilla.
Ontario Food Banks Grapple With Surge in International Student Visits; Some Cite Misuse
As the need for food banks skyrockets across Canada, several in Ontario are reporting an increase in international students seeking help, with some appearing to be exploiting the services or unaware of how they work. Two Ontario food banks have even decided to close their doors to international students.
“Due to the increased visitation to the food bank in the last couple of years, we helped students in September but noticed that there was tremendous abuse and manipulation of our services. We have now stopped the practice of serving them so we can concentrate on our regular clients and refugees,” the head of a food bank in Oshawa told The Epoch Times.
EU Still Funding Islamist Enemies of Israel
The European Commission is set to announce continued payments of development aid to the Palestinian territories, despite acknowledging the “risk” of funding Hamas.
In the wake of the October 7th terror attacks against Israel, Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi announced a freeze of aid to Palestine. His announcement had clearly not been signed off on, with senior officials quickly scrambling to contradict the comments. But they still appear to have prompted an official internal audit on funding.
Sure pal …

Canadian journalism survey finds senior leadership roles still overwhelmingly filled by white men say racist cranks at Toronto Star
Across the country, the top editors in newsrooms continue to disproportionately skew white and male, a new Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) survey has found.
The survey covers 6,035 journalists across 273 newsrooms across the country, with data submitted voluntarily by newsroom staff.
Journalists across the country, according to the survey results, are overwhelmingly white, making up 76 per cent of newsrooms. That number increases for more senior positions — newsroom supervisors are 84 per cent white and majority male.
This is the paper that employs Official Racist Cranks like Shree Paradkar who has never found a thing she couldn’t blame on white people.
Geert Wilders leads Dutch polls on eve of knife-edge election
The hard-Right leader is predicted to win 28 seats, enough to potentially make him Netherlands prime minister
Geert Wilders, the anti-migrant firebrand known for his fierce rhetoric against Islam, has taken a shock lead in the polls before a knife-edge general election in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
The veteran leader of the hard-Right PVV was on Tuesday predicted to win 28 seats, enough to potentially make him prime minister in a country where nearly one million people, more than five per cent of the population, are Muslims.
Why are our schools addicted to foreign student tuition? Because government was the pusher
If you want to understand why the number of visa students at Canada’s universities and colleges – particularly in Ontario, and particularly at colleges – has risen so sharply in recent years, follow the money.
One trail leads to an unexpected place: my car.
In the spring of 2022, Ontario sent me a cheque for $440. The Ford government had just made it free to renew your vehicle registration – it used to cost $120 a year – and the move was retroactive to 2020. I had paid my fees in advance to the end of 2023, so I was refunded back to the start of the decade.
Hungary Surveys Voters on EU and Ukraine
The survey’s billboard campaign has prompted baseless accusations of antisemitism from globalist politicians and the left-liberal press.
The Hungarian government has launched a nationwide survey on key topics related to national sovereignty, including EU migration policy, issues related to Ukraine, and foreign influence on Hungarian politics. The survey accompanies a new antiglobalist, EU-skeptical billboard campaign for next June’s European parliamentary elections.
Journalism programs across Canada face low enrolment, schools hit pause
Brazilian international student Fernando Bossoes came to Canada to study journalism. Now in his second year at Humber College’s Bachelor of Journalism program, he chose the Toronto polytechnic partly because the journalism programs offered back home were too “old school” for his liking.
But just a few months after Bossoes began his studies, Humber announced that it would be pausing new admissions to the program in 2023. And while his cohort started with seven students, that number has dwindled to four — including an exchange student who will be leaving next year, he said — after several people dropped out.
