What is Zionism?
The short answer is the modern movement to restore the Jewish nation’s sovereignty.
The name Zion is biblical — it is the name of a specific mountain in Jerusalem adjacent to the site of the ancient Temples. It also is used in the Bible and in post-Biblical literature to refer variously to the site of the Temple, to Jerusalem, and to the Holy Land in general.
You’d think a municipal ward with the name “Toronto Centre” would be the last electoral district to turn its back on a left-wing incumbent. Downtown Toronto is perceived to be as left-leaning as you can get and with good reason.
But every voter has their breaking point, and it looks like a lot of downtown residents have hit theirs. The council race now unfolding in this ward is in many ways a battle for the very heart of the city itself.
Europe has developed an extraordinary economic talent: it watches a technological revolution begin elsewhere, writes the rules for it, builds the authorities to supervise it, imposes the reporting — and only then wonders why so little of it is happening in Europe. Artificial intelligence (AI) has made the habit impossible to ignore. The habit is not an accident of Brussels. It is the Franco-German regulatory reflex, written into the treaties and then imposed on everyone else.
The former Quebec premier who oversaw passage of Canada’s first-ever medically assisted dying law says he now feels conflicted after seeing how far the practice has progressed since then.
Quebec’s National Assembly passed the law in 2014 outlining conditions under which terminally ill patients could formally request medical assistance in dying (MAID).
Gavin Newsom’s international globetrotting on the dime of wealthy benefactors has come under the microscope of federal investigators looking into California’s governor.
The US Attorney’s Office issued subpoenas in September requesting about six years of communications around the California State Protocol Foundation, a nonprofit that has paid for Newsom’s travel expenses with privately donated funds instead of taxpayer money, according to a report by the San Francisco Standard.

Canada’s job market continues to stumble, erasing any gains made year-to-date. Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) September Labour Force Survey (LFS) shows a sharp drop in employment. Public sector workers and young adults carried virtually all of the pain.
A businessman called Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores has been elected the mayor of a remote district in the Peruvian Andes, according to local election data.
The 45-year-old, who shares two of his names with the notorious European dictators, won the race for mayor of Queropalca, in Peru’s central Huánuco region, and will take office on 1 January.
The candidate from the leftwing Ahora Nación party won 229 out of a total of 663 votes in elections on 4 October, according to the national office of electoral processes.
More than half of Canadians are actively avoiding American products as ongoing trade disputes and import bans continue to reshape cross-border shopping habits, according to new national survey data from Abacus Data.
The September poll found that 51 percent of Canadian shoppers avoid U.S. goods when possible. That figure is up from 38 percent recorded in February 2025, when initial U.S. tariff threats first emerged.
Not sure I trust the self-reporting.
When a genocidal terrorist group responsible for some of the worst atrocities in modern history celebrates the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, you know that the committee made the wrong choice.
Jim Fedor booked Oct. 19 off work to make sure he can vote in Alberta’s referendum.
“I’m looking forward to it. Never voted in a referendum like this before, so it’ll be something new,” said Fedor, who stopped at the CBC News pop-up at the Seton library branch in southeast Calgary last week.
“I’m gonna vote Option 1 on the separation question, for Alberta to stay in Canada, and the other nine questions I plan to vote no for each one,” he said. “I’ll get there early, and I’m willing to wait to get in and vote.”
I still remember the CBC’s 911 townhall. It may as well have been chaired by Osama bin Laden.

Much ballyhoo has been made of the memorandum of understanding signed between Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney — affectionately known to many as “Marx Carnage.”
Alberta is bending the knee for the construction of a carbon capture plant in return for pumping oil. What could possibly go wrong?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he has discussed the possibility of an energy ceasefire with Russia with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte but is waiting for more information from the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump had said in a social media post Sunday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to what he described as an “energy ceasefire” without offering specifics on terms.
Mark Carney has intervened over the potential nationalisation of Thames Water with a warning that it could damage foreign investment in Britain.
Canadian officials are growing increasingly concerned that any decision by Andy Burnham to place Thames Water under state control could result in heavy losses for overseas investors.
Ottawa is thought to have cautioned that any expropriation of privately owned assets without accompanying compensation could jeopardise further investment in the UK economy. Canada’s so-called
Maple Eight pension funds, and its banks have poured tens of billions into airports, ports, the energy sectors, key utilities and property.
So Carney will deny water sovereignty to the English.
No Brookfield but large positions by Canadian pension funds and of course China.
Pavlo Oliynyk, 25, says he joined enemy forces to escape Russian captivity. Before his capture in the Donbas region in 2024, he was a senior lieutenant for Ukraine’s armed forces.
As a prisoner of war (POW), he says he was electrocuted, beaten, and psychologically tortured. So when he received the offer to join the Maksym Kryvonis battalion — named after a famous 17th-century Cossack commander — he accepted.
Oliynyk says he wanted to use this opportunity to reach the front lines, so he could escape to Ukrainian-controlled territory. DW was able to contact Oliynyk through his lawyer.
