I don’t know what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was thinking when he significantly changed his position on the Israel-Hamas war Tuesday evening during an event in B.C. unrelated to the conflict, but his choice of words and the way he structured them will fuel anti-Semitism in Canada.
PEMBROKE, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) – Ahead of a Renfrew District Catholic School Board hearing to determine whether he will be allowed to return to school, student activist Josh Alexander has been blocked from publishing documents related to his case.
On November 14, the school board granted the St. Joseph Catholic High School administration its requested publication ban on all documents submitted against Alexander over his suspension for saying there are two genders.

OTTAWA – The country’s top court is slated to decide today whether it will hear the case of four Canadian men held in Syria who argue Ottawa has a legal duty to help them return home.
The detained Canadians are among the many foreign nationals in ramshackle detention centres run by Kurdish forces that wrested the war-ravaged region from militant group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The men are asking the Supreme Court to hear a challenge of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling, handed down in May, that said Ottawa is not obligated under the law to repatriate them.
Iran’s supreme leader told the head of Hamas in a face-to-face meeting in Tehran that his country would not enter the war with Israel and accused the terror group of not giving any prior warning of the Oct 7 attacks.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Ismail Haniyeh that Iran – a longtime backer of Hamas – would continue to lend the group its political and moral support, but would not intervene directly, according to three Iranian and Hamas officials with knowledge of the discussions who asked to remain anonymous.
Hamas is losing badly, but what the Ayatollah says and what he does are different things.
Over a month later, Israeli authorities are still identifying the remains of those killed in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas — that’s how brutal, sadistic and ruthless the violence was that day. One of those victims was Canadian-Israeli peace activist Vivian Silver, who was 74 years old.
Europe’s largest economy, which is already in choppy waters, appears to be headed for worse times as it rapidly loses its attractiveness as an industrial location. Germany’s sky-high energy prices, precipitated by a lack of cheap natural gas and improvident anti-nuclear and ‘green’ energy policies enacted by the left-liberal government, have had a devastating impact on the country’s industry, according to a new study.
The study, carried out by the consulting firm Deloitte with the support of the Federal Association of German Industry revealed on Tuesday, November 14th, that two-thirds of German companies surveyed had already relocated parts of their value-added chain abroad, the Berlin-based daily Die Welt reported.
OTTAWA – NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party sent the Liberals back to the drawing board in drafting their upcoming pharmacare legislation, as the end-of-year deadline set in the supply-and-confidence agreement between both parties is rapidly approaching.
“We’ve seen a first draft and we made it very clear that the first draft was insufficient for our support. So the government has taken that back and is working on some amendments,” said Singh during a press conference in Toronto in describing the ongoing negotiations between both parties.
A couple of drama queens strutting for the media.
Hundreds of conservative Muslims protested outside Coldplay’s first ever concert in Indonesia on Wednesday, clashing with police and booing concertgoers over the band’s support for the LGBT community.
Several Islamic groups had called for the British band’s only concert in Muslim-majority Indonesia this year to be cancelled over the rock group’s views, which they say clash with their conservative beliefs.
Many Canadians have little faith in the news media, a new Statistics Canada survey has found.
Fifty-three percent of those polled said they did not place much trust in the information and news they receive from the media. Fewer than one in six people (16 percent) reported a high level of trust in the media, while 32 percent of respondents said they had only a moderate level of trust.
Religiously-motivated brawls have highlighted Canada’s immigration failures
On Sunday, Diwali celebrations in Mississauaga — a Toronto suburb with a significant South Asian population — saw a brawl break out between Indian Hindus and Sikhs wielding pro-Khalistan flags. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, and is adding fuel to growing tensions between India and Canada. The relationship between the two countries had taken a downward turn after Justin Trudeau accused the Modi government of assassinating prominent Sikh activist Hardeep Nijjar Singh back in September.

Three hours before dawn, witnesses and doctors inside Gaza’s largest hospital reported that Israeli tanks had entered the sprawling medical compound on the western edge of Gaza City. “We can see them pointing the guns of the tanks toward the hospital … they are inside the complex with the tanks,” Khader Al Za’anoun, a reporter for the Palestinian news agency Wafa, told CNN.
Munir al-Boursh, a doctor inside the Dar al-Shifa hospital and a Palestinian health ministry undersecretary, had earlier appealed to approaching Israeli forces to exercise caution. “You being inside the hospital will create a state of fear and hysteria among the patients here,” he told the Israel Defense Forces in a phone call obtained by Al Jazeera. “All floors of the hospital are full of people from floor one through to six.”

On hearing that a trans-woman, the activist Steph Richards, was to be appointed CEO of an endometriosis charity, many feminists rolled our eyes, wondering if parody was dead.
There has been huge pushback against appointing a biological male as head of an organisation concerned with women’s gynaecological health, for obvious reasons. Many newspapers covered the issue, and I figured this would be one of those moments that might convince sceptics or even the ‘trans-women are women’ crew that this has all gone way too far.
Government still refuses to acknowledge link between Muslim immigration and antisemitic acts
A major march against antisemitism was held in Paris on Sunday, November 12th, at the call of the country’s main political forces. Supposed to be a moment of national unanimity, it was the subject of major divisions and, several days later, continues to be the subject of controversy.
Since Hamas attacked Israel, antisemitic acts have exploded in France. The idea of a march against antisemitism gradually gained ground within the various political groupings, until it was officially launched by the two presidents of the assemblies, Macronist Yaël Braun-Pivet for the National Assembly, and Les Républicains Gérard Larcher for the Senate.
The Recount is a prominent hard-left online news site. It promotes itself as a “No bull****” site but, somehow, the absence of BS always resolves itself into a completely pro-Democrat agenda. Currently, though, The Recount is lacking its usual leadership because Slade Sohmer, its Editor in Chief, just lost his job. It wasn’t because he was bad at being editor. It’s because he got arrested on child pornography and pedophilia charges.
Some may blame video games, others the music. Some may lay the problem at the feet of years of progressive education and politics, while still others point to the prevalence of social media. Some will point out that the nuclear family has been atomized over the ages through sexual liberation, federal intervention, and feminism. Others will look to conservatives who dithered about taxes while the country rotted from the inside. More than likely, it was all of the above that contributed to the chaos that reigns in the United States.
