Left-wing Hollywood star Susan Sarandon is being slammed for comments she made at an anti-Israel rally in New York, where she reportedly said that Jews “are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim.”
That’s unhinged.
The first inkling of trouble came four months later. On July 5, 2019, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrived at the lab. Qiu, her scientist husband, and several students from China working with them were marched out and had their security clearances revoked.
“Delete That Comment”
In late October 2017, a US health official from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) arrived at the Wuhan Institute of Virology for a glimpse of an eagerly anticipated work in progress. The WIV, a leading research institute, was putting the finishing touches on China’s first biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory. Operating with the highest safeguards, the lab would enable scientists to study some of the world’s most lethal pathogens.
The project had support from Western governments seeking a more robust partnership with China’s top scientists. France had helped design the facility. Canada, before long, would send virus samples. And in the US, NIAID was channeling grant dollars through an American organization called EcoHealth Alliance to help fund the WIV’s cutting-edge coronavirus research.

Transgender women have been banned from international women’s cricket after the world governing body ruled to prioritise “integrity … and the safety of players” above inclusivity.
The decision, which was announced on Tuesday morning, will add to the pressure on the England & Wales Cricket Board, who are currently reviewing guidance which says that players at recreational level should be accepted in the gender with which they identify.
Canada was of course on the cutting edge of making cricket a farce.
A political official presented this evening (Tuesday) the outline for the deal to release dozens of hostages from Hamas captivity and emphasizes that “all the security forces, the Shin Bet and the Mossad are in favor of the outline and also the entire war cabinet is united in favor of the proposal.”
As part of the deal, which is expected to go into effect on Thursday, 12 Israeli hostages will be released every day during the four days of the agreed-upon truce. In the event that Hamas agrees to additional truces – for each day of the truce, ten additional hostages will be released.

Twitter/X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has sued a liberal media organisation, alleging defamation over claims that advertising for major brands had appeared on the site next to posts promoting Nazism.
X has faced a backlash after Media Matters for America, an organisation set up to counter what it claims is a right-wing bias in the media, said that it had found adverts for IBM, Apple and others placed alongside content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.
HALIFAX—“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” —Brutus in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is riding an anti-Trudeau tide that may well lead to political fortune.
For weeks now, Justin Trudeau’s poll numbers have resembled the heart monitor of a patient on his way out.

Canada is expressing concerns about “extremist settler violence” in the occupied West Bank and is calling on the government of Israel to intervene, Global Affairs Canada said in a Monday evening statement.
“Canada strongly condemns the extremist settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and is also gravely concerned by reports of Palestinian communities being forcibly removed from their lands in the West Bank,” the department said(opens in a new tab).
“Canada, along with partners, calls on the Government of Israel to take immediate action to stop such further occurrences of extremist settler violence, protect the Palestinian population, and hold those responsible for the violence accountable under the law.”
A Federal Court judge has recently declared the federal government’s decision to categorize plastic items as toxic to be both “unreasonable and unconstitutional.” This ruling has introduced further regulatory uncertainty for the food industry as it grapples with its dependence on plastic.
The Palestinian cause has become a fashionable pretext for all those who despise Western democracy.
It is striking how ‘far-right’ has become an all-purpose insult in Europe and the West. It is a label slapped on anybody who stands outside the narrow conformism of woke politics. Whether it’s parents protesting against drag queens preaching trans ideology to children, or citizens concerned about anything from the EU’s crusade against cars and farmers to the imposition of vaccine passports or mass migration, they are all apparently ‘far-right’ now.
The message is always that ‘these people’ are basically scum, beyond the limits of respectable debate, and should not be engaged with. Instead they should be cancelled, arrested or banned altogether.
The “just transition” legislation currently before the House of Commons Natural Resources committee mentions unions a fair bit. It also mentions what are effectively five-year plans, which was a common practice for moulding the economies of the Soviet Union and China during their darkest years.
However, outside of big-inch pipeline construction, refining, and the oilsands, there simply aren’t that many unionized companies in the oilpatch, at least in Saskatchewan. That is, next to none in the Land of Living Skies.
The Hamas leader who masterminded the Oct 7 attacks is personally handling negotiations for a hostage release even as Israeli troops seek to find and kill him.
Yahya Sinwar, who spent 22 years in an Israeli prison, has taken control of the deal and has been in-and-out of touch with Qatari mediators, according to reports.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has described Sinwar as a “dead man”. The terrorist leader has stayed inside Gaza, unlike Hamas’s political-wing which lives in luxurious exile in Qatar and Turkey.
Three teenaged girls are facing charges after a Peel police officer was allegedly assaulted while attempting to break up a fight at a Brampton high school earlier this month.
Police say that a 22 Division youth investigative officer was sent to Cardinal Leger Secondary School near Main and Queen streets on the morning of Nov. 9 following a request from the principal.
Police say that while the officer was speaking with the principal, a fight broke out inside the cafeteria.
