Here We Go Again – The West’s Palestinian State Fantasy

A majority of Western leaders clearly refuse to exercise integrity when it concerns the Palestinian issue. Only leaders completely sold out to extremist ideologies would persist in pushing a proposal so far detached from reality and so harmful to many people — starting with the atrociously governed Palestinians — that it is almost beyond comprehension. Perhaps this phenomena is best described as a “cognitive bias” that can “lead to a person interpreting all new information as supporting their preconception.”

Lawyer ‘very confident’ a foreign adversary attacked Canadian diplomats in Cuba

OTTAWA – A lawyer for Canadian diplomats and their families says he believes the mysterious ailments they suffered in Cuba were caused by a foreign adversary, despite a federal government report that dismisses the theory.

Eight years after foreign service officials and their dependants began reporting such symptoms as headaches, memory loss, mood changes, vision problems, nausea and nosebleeds, a legal action against Ottawa over the health problems is still grinding along in Federal Court.

Trump administration weighing refugee cap of 40,000 with focus on white South Africans

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is discussing a refugee admissions cap of around 40,000 for the coming year with a majority allocated to white South Africans, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter and an internal refugee program email, reflecting a major shift in the U.S. approach to refugees.

We need a Trump. Why can’t Canada stop being run by Marxist crooks and lunatics?

Poll results reflect ‘emerging consensus’ over need to reduce home prices, expert says

A slim majority of Canadians believe that reducing home prices is more important than keeping them stable, but most still feel that housing affordability is unlikely to improve in the next five years, according to a new poll.

The survey, conducted for The Globe and Mail by Nanos Research, found that 52 per cent of Canadians said reducing prices was necessary, while only 35 per cent felt prices should be kept stable. Thirteen per cent of respondents were unsure.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s grand jury transcripts are likely a dud, but other documents could reveal much

When Donald Trump’s Department of Justice requested the release of grand jury transcripts in criminal proceedings against sex-traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the move did little to quiet an ever-growing chorus of critics frustrated by the US president’s backtracking over disclosing investigative files.

Indeed, the justice department’s filings in this request revealed that only two law enforcement officers testified during grand jury proceedings in New York, undermining notions that unsealing them would reveal numerous truths.

Air Canada flight attendants to defy back-to-work order, remain on strike: union

Air Canada flight attendants will defy the back-to-work order and remain on strike after the federal government ordered binding arbitration to end the work stoppage, the Canadian Union of Public Employees told Radio-Canada on Sunday.

The union, which represents the 10,000 flight attendants, has accused federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu of caving to Air Canada’s demands.

Who controls the food supply? Proposed changes to seed reuse reopens debate

It’s a small change that risks cultivating a big debate.

On one side is the principle of farmer’s privilege — the traditional right of Canadian farmers to save seeds at the end of a growing season and reuse them the next year.

On the other is the principle of plant breeders’ rights — the right of those who develop new seeds and plants to protect and profit from their discoveries.

The issue has been dormant for a decade. Now, proposed changes to government rules regarding plant breeders’ rights are reviving that debate.

$50,000 Signing Bonus, No Age Caps: The Blitz to Hire ICE Officers

Uncle Sam. Miami Vice. When it comes to recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Trump administration is getting creative.

A social-media campaign launched late last month touted immigration enforcement as an opportunity for father-son bonding and to “deport illegals with your absolute boys,” a slang term for close friends. The Department of Homeland Security has invoked world-war-era imagery and touted 1990s Superman actor Dean Cain in an all-out blitz to persuade Americans they should join ICE’s ranks.

Sharren Haskel: I am Israel’s Canadian-born deputy foreign minister. Mark Carney is rewarding terrorist monsters

This week, the Toronto International Film Festival attempted to cancel, then reinstated, the screening of The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, a documentary on a retired Israeli general’s successful attempt to rescue his family during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks by Hamas.

The organizers of TIFF reportedly claimed they needed Hamas’s permission to show the footage of the extreme violence from October 7 found on the GoPros of Hamas terrorists.

How absurd.

Muslim hate will not be stopped by recognizing a Pallie State and it won’t be stopped even if Israel were were wiped off the map.

Islam is a murder cult and they will eventually come for you.

European leaders to join Ukraine’s Zelenskyy for White House meeting with Trump

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — European and NATO leaders announced Sunday they will join President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington for talks with President Donald Trump about ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. They are rallying around the Ukrainian leader after his exclusion from Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The remarkable show of solidarity — with leaders from France, Britain and Germany saying they would be at Zelenskyy’s side at the White House on Monday — was an apparent effort to ensure the meeting goes better than the last one in February, when Trump berated Zelenskyy in a heated Oval Office encounter.

“The Europeans are very afraid of the Oval Office scene being repeated and so they want to support Mr. Zelenskyy to the hilt,” said retired French Gen. Dominique Trinquand, a former head of France’s military mission at the United Nations.

This should be fun.

My guess is Trump will reveal the deal he and Putin worked out and this meeting may just be a courtesy to inform Zelensky and Europe of those terms.

Their acceptance will dictate the depth of continued US participation.
