Jewish advocacy presses Ottawa to boost community security spending

A major Canadian Jewish advocacy organization is pressing Ottawa to substantially increase spending on security for synagogues, schools and community centres in the upcoming spring economic statement.

In a letter to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, or CIJA, said additional money is urgently needed after national security agency warnings of a possible extremist attack against Canadian Jews.


Programs of this sort have been around for years. What happens is that Muslims always demand funding as well.

But don’t worry those church arson’s have really slowed down.

Why is a member of Canada’s Parliament denying slave labor in China?

Any notion that the Canadian government has become too cozy with the People’s Republic of China was certainly bolstered in recent days.

Michael Ma was born in Hong Kong but has lived in Canada since he was 12. He entered Parliament as a Conservative but, in 2025, he crossed the aisle, becoming a member of the Liberal Party. Since then, he’s run into trouble.

Carney is even more corrupt than Junior.

The NDP has a new leader. What does Avi Lewis’s arrival mean for the party?

Newly named NDP leader Avi Lewis promised to bring back the party from the political wilderness after its dismal showing in last year’s federal election.

“The NDP will start winning again because we will become that beacon to the 99 per cent — illuminating the darkening sky of these terrifying times with the energizing light of collectivism,” he said at the convention in Winnipeg on Sunday, after it was announced he had won the months-long leadership contest.

Lewis came out on top of a field of five leadership candidates that included Alberta MP Heather McPherson, union leader Rob Ashton, farmer Tony McQuail and social worker and municipal councillor Tanille Johnston.

Far Left in French Town Halls: Is Civil War Looming?

In the areas where they have just been elected, the mayors from La France Insoumise (LFI) are already making a name for themselves for all the wrong reasons. Recourse to violence, communalism, and sectarianism—they paint a worrying picture of France in the hands of the far left.

Although Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party is far from having secured the resounding victory it claims in the press following its results in the March 2026 French municipal elections, it has won a few symbolic strongholds that allow it to assert that a “new France” is emerging.

‘It’s ridiculous’: U.S. closing historic Border Road to Canadian traffic

COUTTS — Amid the howling winds of the Sweet Grass Hills lies Border Road, a 14-kilometre ribbon of manicured gravel stretching between the United States and Canada.

The shared road is on the Montana side, but Alberta maintains it.

North of the road lives Ross Ford.

On the south, it’s Roger Horgus.

Both are in their 60s but remember childhood days bounding back and forth across the invisible demarcation line to play.

Canadian Army overhaul looms as DND finalizes mobilization plans

The military’s operations command is currently drawing up an “all arms defence of Canada” plan which will lead to a major reorganization of the army this fall, says the country’s top army commander.

Lt.-Gen. Mike Wright, speaking at a land forces conference at the University of Calgary on Thursday, said the army’s existing four-division structure, which is largely administrative, is being torn down and replaced.

“The army we have is not the army we need,” Wright said.

The Brit who spoke out for Hitler, the Americans who cheer for Iran

DESPITE having loved classical music since boyhood, I have never been much drawn to the music of the late Sir Michael Tippett. I suspect the fault lies in me, not in the composer the BBC Music Magazine ranked at number seven in a list of the 25 greatest British composers of all time, ahead of Gustav Holst and Thomas Tallis and even the German-born but anglicised Handel. I much prefer the music of his contemporaries William Walton and Benjamin Britten, not to mention the prolific and accessible Malcolm Arnold and the incomparable Ralph Vaughan Williams, with Britten being, in my opinion, the greatest musical genius to emerge from the British Isles.

Until recently, I knew very little about Tippett, except that, like Britten, he was an avowed pacifist who served time in Wormwood Scrubs as a conscientious objector during World War II; and, also like Britten, was a homosexual, but much more openly so, unashamedly presenting as camp in later life, unlike the reticent and almost puritanical Britten.

PINDER: They admitted it — UN climate policy was never about the environment

No global organization has been more influential regarding public opinion and policies of governments than the United Nations (UN). Out of thin air, in an atmosphere of historically low carbon dioxide levels, it concocted a climate “narrative” with immense consequences.

What follows is an explanation of how this occurred.

The Deep State Plan to Use Smart Appliances to Force Us to Cut Energy Use is Already Well Advanced

In order to understand anything about public policy as the 21st century progresses, it is critically important to hone one’s ability to read esoterically. What is important is not what is said, but what is not said. There is the official, publicly acceptable, ‘exoteric’ line. And then there is the truth that lies underneath – often deliberately obscured.

I was thinking about this the other day when reading, as one tends to do over a nice lunch at the local Italian bistro with a pizza and a glass of red, a 2015 position paper on ‘Making the electricity system more flexible and delivering the benefits for consumers’. This was issued by Ofgem (the quango which regulates the energy market in the UK) at the start of the ongoing process to transform our energy market into one governed by “energy smart appliances”. These, for those who have been paying attention, are electric devices (your fridge, your washing machine, your EV charger, etc.) which are able to respond to ‘load control’ signals issued through the internet, and thereby reduce or delay energy consumption. Or, to put it more bluntly, appliances which can be controlled remotely so as to limit how much electricity households are able to use. Coming soon to a kitchen near you.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberals’ kid gloves treatment of China is nothing new

While Liberal MP Michael Ma has belatedly apologized for questioning the veracity of expert testimony at a Commons committee hearing that China uses forced labour — claiming that was not his intent — cozying up to China has been mainstream Liberal thinking in a line stretching from Justin Trudeau to Mark Carney.

When is enough enough?

Remember when the left would propose a new policy and then ask, “If it saves just one life, wouldn’t it be worth it?” Their suggestions usually go only one way, benefiting some fringe group while inconveniencing the majority.

When it comes to immigration, the left is, as usual, off the rails. Once upon a time, the frequency of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens were relatively rare. That frequency has been skyrocketing of late.
