Michael Higgins: The Muslim Brotherhood is a ‘cancer’ at the heart of Canada

Michael Higgins: The Muslim Brotherhood is a ‘cancer’ at the heart of Canada

Spending time in prison with Islamic terrorists gives Mohamed Fahmy special insights into the dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood. So when he says Canada needs to buck up and start paying attention to their malign influence in this country, we should listen.

The Muslim Brotherhood, says Fahmy, is stealthily inserting itself into all areas of Canadian society.

“The public needs to understand there’s a difference between Islam and Islamism,” says Fahmy in an interview with National Post.


A difference? No. They are the same poison.

When it comes to the art of diplomacy, Pete Hoekstra is a space cadet

When it comes to the art of diplomacy, Pete Hoekstra is a space cadet

A perfect embodiment of the U.S. government behaviours likely to kneecap Republicans in Tuesday’s midterms, surprisingly, is right here in Canada — in the person of Donald Trump’s surly envoy.

On the same day last week that former president Bill Clinton’s stated that the U.S. has been treating Canada “like dirt,” U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra was at a Gatineau conference on space, yanking Canada’s chain by dissing its view that Trump’s trade war has contributed to a rupture in bilateral relations.

Canada’s first prosecution of an alleged ISIS woman hinges on texts to mom

As ISIS fighters and their families were surrounded and making their last stand in Syria in late 2018, a Canadian woman who was allegedly there with them sent a defiant text to her mother.

“Allah has written that victory is near,” Ammara Amjad wrote, according to the RCMP, which found her messages on a phone seized during a search of her parents’ home north of Toronto.

Trump covets the Keystone XL pipeline because its path runs through key U.S. midterm election races

Trump covets the Keystone XL pipeline because its path runs through key U.S. midterm election races

It’s no great surprise that Donald Trump is talking now about the “concept” of a trade deal with Canada and the rebirth of the cross-border Keystone XL pipeline.

Even though Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed he had a ”good conversation” with his American counterpart, it’s no indication that we’re any closer to an agreement over tariffs, automobile production and dueling liquor bans. Nor does it signal an imminent increase in the southbound flow of Alberta oil.

How fraudsters got a slice of Canada’s bread price-fixing settlement

How fraudsters got a slice of Canada’s bread price-fixing settlement

Ken Wu was on his phone this past spring, scrolling through the popular Chinese social-media app RedNote, when a stranger messaged him with a proposition.

The stranger explained how Mr. Wu could make some easy money off a landmark class-action settlement. Canada’s largest grocer, Loblaw Cos. Ltd. L-T, and its parent company had agreed to pay $500-million in compensation for their role in a high-profile scheme to fix bread prices.

The settlement was the first to come out of lawsuits that were launched after the companies reported an alleged industry-wide conspiracy to the Competition Bureau in 2015, in exchange for immunity from criminal prosecution. (Other grocers have denied involvement.)

London man involved in racially charged verbal altercation will not face charges

London man involved in racially charged verbal altercation will not face charges

London Police say a man involved in a verbal altercation with a group of women on the Western University campus will not face charges.

Much of the incident was caught on cell phone video. And while racist language can be heard, police say it does not constitute a crime, but rather a hate-incident.

“Hate crime is defined as a crime in the Criminal Code of Canada. It’s a criminal offense. A hate motivated incident is an incident that does not meet the definition of a crime,” explained LPS Acting Insp. Michelle Romano.

Trump slaps tariffs on Canadian ‘trash trucks.’ How much garbage is being sent to the U.S.?

Trump slaps tariffs on Canadian ‘trash trucks.’ How much garbage is being sent to the U.S.?

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump removed 50 per cent tariffs on 22 Canadian goods. But he added tariffs to 100 more, including municipal waste — meaning garbage from households and businesses.

The move has been backed by Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, who has spent decades raising his concerns about Canadian garbage imports. Speaking on stage with Trump at a rally in Port Huron on Sunday, Rogers accused Canada of sending “truck after truck after truck loaded with their trash into our state.”


Dump it on Toronto streets, no one is going to notice.
