Is Hamas planning to thwart US efforts to deploy an international force in the Gaza Strip?
On November 4, Musa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas official, told Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV network that “a military force that could replace the [Israeli] occupation is unacceptable.”
WASHINGTON – Most Americans — including Republicans — continue to view Canada positively in economic and trade matters even as U.S. President Donald Trump directs anger at their northern neighbour.
That finding comes from new polling by Leger, Maintenant Media and Canada 338 that also says Americans trust that Canada is negotiating in good faith as the countries face an uncertain trade relationship.
“In the American general public, there’s still some general goodwill towards Canada,” said Andrew Enns, Leger’s executive vice-president for Central Canada.
The statement sought by CBS News and provided by the Department of Homeland Security completely undermined the report on a Chicago ICE arrest that ran on the Evening News. But the network ran the report nonetheless, burying the DHS’s statement at the end of the report.
ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district.#ice #chicago pic.twitter.com/1fhz7mYWWt

A Portuguese immigrant ordered deported six years ago for his role in the killing of a McMaster University mechanical engineering student has won a chance to restore his status as a permanent resident.
Two men have been arrested following a fire at a building housing people applying for international protection in Drogheda, County Louth last Friday night.
In total, five people were rescued from the top floor of the building, according to Irish broadcaster RTÉ, and a number were taken to hospital for medical assessment. Those rescued included four children.
Gardaí commenced an investigation into the alleged attempted arson of the property.
Some “Authorities” are claiming “racism” as that suits the narrative. Others point out criminal gang activity is the likely cause.
A Louth TD has claimed that a company paid more than €10 million by the Government for asylum accommodation “is owned by a man who has been linked by the Criminal Assets Bureau to the Drogheda gang feud.” https://t.co/tRHgTCxmGC

There’s a spectrum of terms used to describe MPs who cross the floor. But history shows us there’s one word that doesn’t always stick when Canadian politicians shed one party affiliation for another: re-electable.
Jaws dropped in Ottawa following the revelation that longtime Conservative Chris d’Entremont is joining the federal Liberal caucus — with Prime Minister Mark Carney hinting others could follow.
Floor-crossing is a political phenomenon dating back to Confederation. But a dive into the record books shows it has increasingly come at an electoral price.
This story could have been ripped straight out of a political thriller. But it’s not fiction; it’s one of the strangest, most revealing twists yet in the never-ending saga of how far some corners of the government were evidently willing to go to weaponize their authority against Donald Trump.
If these First Nation land title claims are approved in Kamloops & Richmond it will be the end of democracy in Canada because we will be ruled by people who are not elected by us.
I am sure that was the intended end result all along.

While Torontonians are evenly split on their mayor’s handling of the job, the proportion who strongly disapprove of Olivia Chow’s performance is rising, according to a new Leger poll.
Older Torontonians also feel differently than younger ones about Chow’s performance.
Former first lady Michelle Obama joined Stephen Colbert Tuesday night and delivered a depressing diatribe about the President Donald Trump-led White House ballroom construction, calling herself “confused” and “lost” as “standards and norms” are being broken.

A 27-year-old man from Mississauga, Ont., currently serving a US prison sentence for his role in a foiled 2016 terrorist plot, has pleaded guilty to stabbing two correctional officers with a weapon fashioned from a steel desk inside his cell.
The US Department of Justice confirmed Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy’s guilty plea in a news release Tuesday, detailing the Dec. 7, 2020, incident at United States Penitentiary Allenwood in Pennsylvania.

School governors across England have been told to dismiss fears about grooming gangs as “disinformation”, it can be revealed.
Thousands of volunteers for education governing bodies were presented with various scenarios during safeguarding training, including one involving rumours of “men belonging to a particular religion” committing “violent crimes against women”.
They were reportedly asked to identify the scenario as an “online safety risk” because pupils were spreading “disinformation”, according to The Daily Telegraph
If Canada’s track record in appeasing terrorists is any indication, no good can come out of the federal government’s recognition of a Palestinian state. The last time Canada’s leaders rewarded terrorism, we almost lost the country.
We’ve never discussed this aspect of our constitutional history. For some odd reason, it doesn’t seem to be a subject anyone wants to broach, let alone debate in the marketplace of ideas. Verboten. Hands off. And I’m wondering whether this lack of discussion led to Prime Minister Carney making an inadequately informed decision.
Every year, young women in southwestern France put on white dresses and prepare for an important vote: to be titled the most virtuous woman of their village.
The tradition of crowning an 18-year-old woman with white roses in recognition of her irreproachable conduct and moral character originated in the 19th century but is still practised in 45 French villages.
It is now at the centre of a row over alleged government “wokeism”. Mayors are furious that the culture ministry is refusing to back their demand for the tradition to be given Unesco world heritage status on the grounds that it contravenes the principle of gender equality.
Screw the ‘Cultureless Ministry’.
Mark Carney’s first budget is every bit as unsustainable as the budgets of Justin Trudeau. That’s if we hold Carney to the same measuring stick that he used to criticize Trudeau’s budgets.
The current Liberal PM is fond of saying that the former Liberal prime minister increased program spending far too much, and now he’s doing just that.
