Manchester synagogue attack: one victim apparently shot dead by police
One of the victims killed at the Manchester synagogue attack appears to have been shot dead by armed police officers.
In a statement, the Greater Manchester police chief constable, Sir Stephen Watson, said the Home Office pathologist had provisionally determined that the man had died of a gunshot wound.
The suspect, Jihad al-Shamie, did not have a firearm and the only shots fired were by the police officers at the scene. It is believed that the victim was among those behind the synagogue door seeking to prevent the attacker from gaining entry.
Update – British police may have shot 2 of the Manchester synagogue attack victims, one fatally, officials say
Was the “officer” Muslim by chance?
A synagogue in Manchester. Two dead at the hands of a suspected terrorist.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberal debt goes from ‘fiscal anchors’ to ‘anchors aweigh’
While Prime Minister Mark Carney insists the Liberals’ Nov. 4 budget will adhere to so-called “fiscal anchors” to ensure the government’s fiscal policy encourages long-term economic growth, the problem is the Liberals keep moving the goalposts on what a “fiscal anchor” means.
HORTON: The Combatting Hate Act: A dangerous step toward symbolic censorship
For those who may not be aware, the Combatting Hate Act — proposed chiefly by Justice Minister Sean Fraser — is a piece of legislation intended to protect communities and places of worship from hate crimes. At its core, the bill seeks to criminalize the display of hate symbols. Examples include the swastika, the double-sig rune, and other insignia associated with terrorist organizations, as outlined in the Criminal Code.
2500% Spike In Google Search Results For ‘Trump’ And ‘Fascist’ Shows Dems’ Violence Incitement Problem
In the heated arena of American politics, words have always been weapons. But over the past year, the left’s rhetoric has escalated to a level that not only poisons discourse but also incites violence.
As we approach the end of President Donald Trump’s first year back in the White House, a year marred by political assassinations and rising extremism, it’s useful to understand just how much Democrats and their allies in media, academia, rent-a-mob, and activist circles have ramped up incendiary language.
President Trump Gives the Globalists Another Lesson – But More Are Needed
Donald Trump’s address to the UN once again has challenged the failing bloated institution, especially when its damage to our country and its Constitutional order by allowing globalist elites to chip away at our sovereignty in order to serve the “international community” of the “new world order” globalist elites. Much of our foreign policy errors and crises spring from the near century of the UN’s bad ideas and feckless idealism.
Wielding his signature straight talk, Trump delivered a much-needed home truth: “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” he asked, and quickly answered, “For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up. It’s empty words, and empty words don’t solve wars.”
Carney calls Indonesia trade deal ‘game changing,’ but labour says it is a ‘step backwards’
The Carney government is celebrating a new trade deal with Indonesia, but labour voices are sounding the alarm over a weakening of worker protections compared to recent deals that Canada has inked.
In a press release, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s (Nepean, Ont.) office described the Canada-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement as “game changing,” noting that it is the first bilateral agreement with a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Finalizing the deal was a pillar of Canada’s Indo-Pacific strategy, and part of a growing effort to diversify the country’s trading markets.
January 6 was America’s Reichstag fire
Hitler was originally democratically elected — not by a majority, but rather by a plurality, as allowed by the Weimar Republic’s constitution. It was a turning point for all of world history.
The Nazis, being ambitious tyrants, leapt at any possible opportunity to expand their grip on Germany. So, on February 27, 1933 — just four weeks after Hitler was sworn in as chancellor — the fire that struck the German parliament building was at least partially blamed on Bolshevik agitators. Sound familiar?
Germany’s then-president, Paul von Hindenburg, issued a decree suspending all civil liberties in order to facilitate the rounding up and disposal of communists. And thus, Hitler became an absolute dictator.
How the West failed the test of the Danish cartoons controversy
Twenty years on, Europe has embraced Islamic blasphemy codes and abandoned free speech.
On 30 September 2005, 12 cartoons appeared in the Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, under the headline, ‘The face of Muhammad’.
The headline was not entirely accurate. One of the cartoons made fun of the Jyllands-Posten editors for commissioning the series, while another showed Islamist suicide bombers being turned away from heaven. ‘Stop. Stop. We have run out of virgins’, ran the caption. At least Kurt Westergaard’s now infamous effort chimed with the title. He had drawn Muhammad wearing a turban containing a bomb, accompanied by the Muslim declaration of faith: ‘There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God.’ The cartoons were undoubtedly provocative, as indeed they were intended to be. They stood firmly in a long-standing, anti-clerical tradition of satire.
Increasing number of Americans say violence may be needed to get U.S. ‘back on track’: poll
While a majority of U.S. citizens continue to maintain that violence won’t help fix the problems facing their nation, an increasing minority are beginning to disagree, according to a new poll.
A Marist Institute of Public Opinion poll of 1,477 adults conducted in partnership with NPR and PBS News last week found that three in 10 of those agreed (19 per cent) or strongly agreed (11 per cent) with the notion that “Americans may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track.”

“Take Your Revenge”: Posters in Berlin Invite Germans To Fight in Ukraine
In several streets of the Berlin district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, posters appeared in late September showing the image of German prisoners of war from the Second World War alongside the slogan “Nimm deine Revanche” (“Take your revenge”). Accompanied by a QR code, the posters direct readers to the official website of Ukraine’s International Legion, a unit created by President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2022 to host foreign fighters against Russia.

Legal immigrants say Ottawa has pushed immigration system beyond limits
Canada’s own legal immigrants are warning the country has taken in too many newcomers too quickly, according to in-house research by the Privy Council.
Blacklock’s Reporter says focus groups found many recent arrivals rejected the government’s justification that record immigration quotas were needed to fix labour shortages.
Israeli envoy says communications with Ottawa have ’deteriorated’ under Carney
OTTAWA — Israel’s envoy to Canada says dialogue between his government and Ottawa has “deteriorated” since Prime Minister Mark Carney took office — and suggests his “hard line” on Gaza explains why Carney still hasn’t spoken by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Since the government of Carney came into place, the level of dialogue between the two countries slowly but surely deteriorated,” Israel Ambassador Iddo Moed told The Canadian Press on Monday.
