Biden’s Israel Ambassador Tells BDS Group He Wants Jews Out of Jerusalem

“Your agenda is where my heart is.”

Biden’s ambassador to Israel appeared at a pro-BDS group’s webinar co-hosted by its CEO, who had described Israel as an “oppressive regime”, and told its audience that the real problem with the Palestinian Authority funding terrorism is that “it gives the ‘haters’ an excuse not to support the PA based on the argument that it is ‘paying for people who killed Jews.’”

He also told the anti-Israel group which had cheered the Ben & Jerry’s boycott that, “your agenda is where my heart is.”

The Covid-cautious are hungriest for war

There’s a strong correlation between a fear of Covid and a desire for open conflict

Risk calculus is a funny thing. According to a new poll, the Canadians most cautious about the risk of catching Covid-19 are also the most likely to support open war between Russia and the United States.

Welcome to Jean Charest’s world: the backstory on the Conservative Party’s would-be messiah that he’d really rather you not know.

Providing services to Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou. Guiding Xi Jinping’s “national champion” telecom through Canada’s national-security roadblocks. Supplying megaphone services for Beijing’s disinfo ops. . .

It’s official. After a long hiatus from the internecine comings and goings at the jet-setting apex of Canada’s political class, Jean Charest is already being touted as the frontrunner in the race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.

It was only on Thursday evening that Charest officially launched his candidacy for Erin O’Toole’s old job, and straight away he demonstrated something rather less than forthrightness, you could say, about what he’s been up to all this time.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Armed Forces will soon adopt a gender-neutral dress code for service members as military commanders push for more diversity in the ranks.

Men and women in uniform are currently subject to separate dress codes that include the types of clothing they can wear as well as hair styles and other aspects of their appearance.

GUNTER: A coalition government in everything but name

If you can’t stomach the idea of another three years of Justin Trudeau as Canada’s Dear Leader, thank Jagmeet Singh.

You had to know the New Democrats would endorse a deal to keep the Liberals in power and let them operate as if they were a majority government even though in last fall’s election, Justin Trudeau’s party captured the lowest percentage of the popular vote of any government in Canadian history.

Going out on a fossil fuel bender

We need energy and renewables can’t provide, so best to just lean into it

Covid rates are abating just in time for surging gas prices to eclipse the pandemic as our crisis du jour, and people from both sides of the political aisle are crying out in unison: something must be done!

The current energy crisis debate consists of a few camps: one group professes that they can’t abide fossil fuels being used at all, while another can’t imagine living without them. The third group makes up the middle of the Venn diagram, and though a paradoxical state of mind, it contains the most members.

“Dark Money” Affecting Elections in Revolutionary Ways

Dark money. The words evoke sinister plots, secret organizations and conspiracies fit for a James Bond villain. We hear about dark money in politics, dark money in the elections and dark money supporting a web of organizations dedicated to undermining the American experiment.

Dark money seems to be everywhere — and it is.

Dark money has become the most important fuel driving the debate on every single public issue. In fact, dark money is being deployed in new and revolutionary ways to affect our elections. Seemingly unlimited streams of philanthropy are pouring into organizations and mechanisms that just three years ago seemed fanciful and beyond the wildest imagination of activist strategies.

The three Russian cyber-attacks the West most fears

US President Joe Biden has called on private companies and organisations in the US to “lock their digital doors”, claiming that intelligence suggests Russia is planning a cyber-attack on the US.

The UK’s cyber-authorities are also supporting the White House’s calls for “increased cyber-security precautions”, though neither has given any evidence that Russia is planning a cyber-attack.

Russia has previously stated that such accusations are “Russophobic”.

However, Russia is a cyber-superpower with a serious arsenal of cyber-tools, and hackers capable of disruptive and potentially destructive cyber-attacks.
