Terry Newman: Concordia student union staffer ensured masked disruptive protesters could not be identified

Julianna Smith, a Concordia Student Union staffer, has been barred indefinitely from all university property for her alleged involvement in protest activities that took place on Oct. 6. On Oct. 7, the two-year anniversary of the terrorist attack in Israel, Concordia became the only university in the world to close out of concern that it could not protect its campus community. And it seems that Concordia’s own student union and at least one of its associations may be at least partially responsible.

How dry Iran?

“Water water, every where, Nor any drop to drink,” from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is a suitable motto for the Islamic Republic of Iran. With the Persian Gulf in the Southwest, the Sea of Oman in the South, and the Caspian Sea (an inland brackish water lake) in the North, Iran is surrounded by water, yet there is very little to drink.

Iran’s experts, of course, blame Israel and the U.S, for manipulating the weather (and the women who do not wear hijabs properly, ed.)and causing a drought so severe that the Islamic Republic’s president says he may “have to evacuate Tehran.”

Police Found $1 Million in a Tub Under a Garage. The Government Gets to Keep It.

On Dec. 1, 2009, the police searched a house on the outskirts of Thunder Bay, Ontario, looking for an illegal .22-caliber handgun.

Instead, they found cash — lots of it — hidden around the property, including 15,000 Canadian dollars stuffed in a heating vent in the living room floor, $9,750 in a suitcase in the garage and $1.2 million in a Rubbermaid tub that was buried under the dirt floor of the garage.

“The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer”

How some of the state’s welfare funds ended up in the hands of a terror group

Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.

One small fraud among many

In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

How investigating Indigenous activists became a CSIS priority for at least a decade

Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel says she was sitting in the Japanese consulate in Montreal when she started to learn how far Canada’s spies can reach.

It was two years after Gabriel was the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) spokesperson during the military’s 1990 siege of Kanehsatà:ke and Kahnawà:ke, commonly called the Oka Crisis. That summer, a botched police raid on a small blockade ignited a tense 78-day armed standoff, as activists fought to stop a golf course expansion from desecrating a cemetery at Kanehsatà:ke, near Oka, Que.

In 1992, Gabriel was invited to an Indigenous conference in Japan and planned to travel on a Haudenosaunee Confederacy-issued passport. But she couldn’t get a visa, so she went for a meeting to find out why.

I wonder how the Aboriginal/Islamist alliance has been doing?

Palestinian Terrorists Threaten to Target International Stabilization Force

Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and other Palestinian terror groups have rejected US-backed United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted on November 17, which welcomes the establishment of a “Board of Peace” and a temporary “International Stabilization Force” in the Gaza Strip. The resolution is based on US President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point peace plan for ending the war in the Gaza Strip, which erupted in response to the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led invasion of Israel.

GUNTER: Interim PBO’s refreshing frankness unlikely to win him full-time job

If you want to know whether the Carney government is serious about trimming the federal budget and being transparent, keep an eye on what happens to Jason Jacques.

Who is Jacques? Is he a senior economist whose advice everyone respects? A cunning investor whose every market move is mimicked by lesser investors? An opposition MP who might cross the floor to the Liberals?

Trump to meet incoming New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Trump to Meet Islamist 5th Columnist Mamdani

New York’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and President Donald Trump plan to meet on Friday at the White House, after months of trading barbs and insults during the city’s recent election.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic socialist, won New York City’s mayoral race earlier this month, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo by nine points. While he was little known outside of New York before the election, he has now become a nationally recognised figure.

Government seeks to retroactively change law, potentially avoiding paying veterans over federal error

The Carney government’s budget legislation contains an amendment that lawyers representing veterans say is a bid to cover up a decades-long error that led to overcharging for long-term care.

“Instead of owning up to their error, they are trying to change the rules after the fact,” said Malcolm Ruby, partner at Gowling WLG and co-counsel in a proposed class-action lawsuit seeking damages for an estimated tens of thousands of veterans.

“Retroactively changing legislation is like a thermonuclear weapon that the government has in litigation, that no other litigant has.”
