Amid tensions, McGill students vote on pro-Palestinian policy

As tensions continue over the Israel-Hamas war, McGill University says it could end its agreement with its student union over a contentious pro-Palestinian policy being voted on this week.

In an email response to the Montreal Gazette, the university said the proposed Policy Against Genocide in Palestine would worsen divisions on campus and put students at risk.

BREAKING: Speaker Johnson Releases J6 Footage, and the Left Is Gonna Flip Out

Democrats have long sought to hide this footage from the public, only giving us access to cherrypicked or altered footage, and you can bet that there’s plenty of footage here that will destroy the narrative that Democrats and the media have pushed for two and a half years.

Fixed

After a birthday dinner with his parents and son that reminded him of how lucky he is to be surrounded by people who love him, Ryan Merovitz was entering his driveway when his headlights illuminated something that shattered that feeling.

“Dad, there’s something written on the garage door,” his 18-year-old, Mathew, called out from the back seat.

Colby Cosh: Sweden dispenses with the Canada model of immigration

Apologies for writing yet another “Look what’s happening in ultra-liberal, super-tolerant (Nordic country)” column, but there is turmoil in ultra-liberal, super-tolerant Sweden right now that’s worth noticing in Canada. About a year ago, Sweden elected a right-wing government that campaigned on altering the country’s gapingly open immigration policy, which in the past has been partly inspired by the Canadian model.

Breonna Taylor: Jury deadlocks over ex-officer Brett Hankison’s fate

The federal trial of an ex-police officer accused of violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights has ended in a mistrial with a deadlocked jury.

It marks the second time Brett Hankison has avoided a conviction relating to the case, after he was found not guilty on state charges last year.

Ms Taylor was killed in a botched police raid in Louisville, Kentucky, on 13 March 2020.

Her name became a rallying cry at racial justice protests nationwide.

It was not immediately clear whether prosecutors would seek a re-trial.

Combined provincial, federal EV gamble to cost almost $6B more than government estimates: PBO

Provincial and federal financial support to develop electric vehicle batteries will cost $5.8 billion more than government projections, the Parliamentary Budget Office said Friday morning.

An analysis of government support for the EV battery deals with Northvolt, Volkswagen and Stellantis-LGES said that over the next 10 years, that support will amount to $43.6 billion, rather than the announced costs of $37.7 billion.

The deals with the three manufacturers amount to production subsidies of $32.8 billion, with an additional $4.9 billion in support to build the facilities.

‘He’s a big part of the problem’: Is the end near for Justin Trudeau?

OTTAWA, Ont. — Bad polls, grumpy voters and a patchy record on climate commitments have overtaken Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s eighth year in power. Canada’s political class is awash in speculation about whether he’ll survive a ninth.

Liberal lawmakers and anxious operatives are whispering that it’s time for Trudeau to think about throwing in the towel. The prime minister’s opponents delight in amplifying the angst.

Britain is the new capital of anti-Israel hate

As their country unites in the face of terrorist evil, ours is exposing a nasty and divided underbelly

I have spent recent weeks in Israel, and goodness knows this is a country that has plenty of challenges. But one question I have been asked a lot by an alarmingly wide array of Israelis is: “What happened to Britain?”

Generally, I get protective after this question, and reassure people that Britain is still Britain and that our core of decency remains as it always was. But the response is always the same: “But these marches?” Now perhaps they will say “… and the vote?”

In Canada that dubious distinction must fall on the GTA or is Torontostan sufficiently ugly to claim the title as its own?

Trudeau Government Doled Out $444m In Welfare To Notorius Home Hoarding Corporate Landlord That Doesn’t Need The Funds & Says Millennials Don’t Want A Home

Canada Invests $444m With Company That Says Millennials Don’t Want A Home

Canada keeps repeating it’s spending billions on new housing, but with who, and how does it help? Earlier this week, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced $1.2 billion worth of investments to build rentals in Toronto. It turns out over a third of those funds are going into one project—373 Front St East, which are rentals planned years ago. Toronto-based Tricon Capital is one of the owners of the 855 unit project. They are best-known for buying and owning tens of thousands of single-family homes in a short time.


Tricon is a successful firm well positioned to profit from Trudeau’s mass immigration driven perpetual housing shortage.

I wonder if Liberal Party connections exist.
