WARMINGTON: Mississauga event celebrates Hamas terror leader killed by Israel

You can’t legally play road hockey on Celebration Square or on the streets of Mississauga, but you can hold a ceremony to mourn the death of the mastermind of the Oct. 7, 2023 slaughter of more than 1,200 Jews.

This is not an exaggeration.

In one of those strange anomalies and double standards of woke Canada, the City of Mississauga has now made that clear in a news release posted to X Sunday.

Who decided importing incompatible cultures to Canada was a good idea?

GUNTER: Democrats’ election strategies won’t work for Liberals here

On Tuesday, the night of the U.S. election, David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s chief political strategist through two campaigns, told CNN that the Democrats lost so badly because they had lost touch with ordinary people.

“We approach working-class voters as though we were missionaries. And our message to them is ‘We want to help you become just like us.’”

Canadians think there is not enough pride in the country’s military: poll

A large majority of Canadians will be observing Remembrance Day this year, most by wearing a poppy, but Quebecers tend to be less likely to observe the national day of remembrance than Canadians in other provinces, says a new poll.

The Postmedia-Leger poll looked at Canadians’ pride in the military, treatment of veterans and Remembrance Day.

It’s pretty obvious Trudeau and his government despise Canada’s military and its history, they turned the armed forces into a haven for cross-dressers and racist DEI cranks.

SNOBELEN: Trudeau’s parallels with Biden’s Democrats will doom Liberals

This week my thoughts travelled back a few decades to a long drink of a man I knew well. Sam was rail thin with a shoe-leather face and big, working hands. The smile lines on his face were deep and gave a hint of a big heart and generous soul.

Sam was from Arkansas. He was a working man his whole life. Of course, he was a Democrat.

Ahead of Remembrance Day, Poll suggests most Canadians don’t know much about their history … It’s a real mystery alright

 

Ahead of Remembrance Day, poll suggests most Canadians don’t know much about their history

As people gather to remember those who fought and died to protect this country in past wars, a new poll suggests many Canadians know little about their country’s history.

That’s likely because high school students in most provinces and territories are not required to take a Canadian history class before graduating, experts say.

Many Canadians are in the dark about the people who helped build this country and the seminal moments that define its past and could inform its future, according to an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Historica Canada — the educational charity best known for producing the Heritage Minutes.

How an alleged Russian plot suddenly upended Canada’s air cargo rules

The Labour Day long weekend was anything but restful for Bruce Rodgers.

His phone started buzzing on the Friday night and didn’t stop, with dozens of emails and calls all asking the same thing: Why had air cargo imports to Canada suddenly ground to a halt?

As executive director of the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFFA) — the industry body for the national network of cargo handlers — Rodgers is used to dealing with the fallout from labour disruptions, accidents or even natural disasters. But not mysteries.

Nearly a Quarter of Canadian Parents Cut Back on Meals so Kids Can Eat: Report

One in four parents report eating less so their children can have food, according to a report from The Salvation Army.

In 2024, it found that Canadian parents are shouldering most of the burden of rising costs when it comes to food and housing.

THOMSON: Remembrance matters, and we need to do a better job of it

There are only two days remaining until November 11th. Why is this important day of solemn remembrance in danger of irrelevance in Canada?

Of course this premise stems from Friday’s news that in Halifax Sackville Heights Elementary, sent a notice to families asking veterans and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces to abstain from wearing their uniform if they planned to attend the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

From ‘maple syrup MAGA’ to ‘Team Canada’: Why Liberals shouldn’t count on Poilievre as they navigate Trump

OTTAWA — If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is counting on his Conservative opponent to offer support as the Liberals navigate a second Donald Trump presidency, he shouldn’t.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has spent the days since the president-elect’s win taking aim at how Trudeau handled his last administration. He lambasted policies like the carbon tax as making Canada less competitive, and said Trudeau was too weak to stop the U.S. from reimposing tariffs on softwood lumber, amid anxieties about Trump’s threat to slap a 10 per cent one on global imports.

There are warning signs for Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre in Donald Trump’s win

OTTAWA—Don’t let anyone tell you the re-election of Donald Trump is not a jolt to Canada’s political landscape. Or that we’ve been there, done that.

The fallout is about to overwhelm the Canadian government’s agenda for the next four years.


More random TDS ….Thing is TDS is really the same response by the Liberal-Left to any politician they declare to be right of Pol Pot maybe just a bit more whiny.

David Polansky: Neither Canadian nor U.S. media understand America

The great novelist Saul Bellow once wrote: “I have developed a certain sympathy with Canada. It’s no easy thing to share a border with the USA. Canada’s chief entertainment — it has no choice — is to watch (from a gorgeous setting) what happens in our country. The disaster is that there is no other show.”

Unfortunately, despite countless hours of American media consumption, many Canadians understand their neighbor surprisingly poorly. The latest program to capture attention here, as elsewhere, was of course the U.S. general election, which Donald Trump won for a second time, much to the consternation of the pundit class in particular.


Random TDS …
