Ottawa police investigating chant on Parliament Hill glorifying Hamas Oct. 7 attack … I bet.

Ottawa police say they are investigating an allegation of hate speech that has emerged from a weekend protest on Parliament Hill.

Police say they received complaints about some of what was said during a pro-Palestinian demonstration Saturday about the Israel-Gaza war.

The protest featured demonstrators brandishing Palestinian flags and placards calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.

Canada contacts Israel after aid agency says water truck bombed in ‘targeted’ attack

When Justin calls.

A Canadian humanitarian organization says its key water-aid truck was bombed in Gaza this week, and the federal government now says it has contacted the Israeli government for “more information” on the incident.

Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday evening that the government reached out to Israel after hearing that the truck operated by the International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF) had been bombed.

LILLEY: They are openly cheering Hamas and their terrorist attacks now … Who’s to blame?

“October 7 is proof that we are almost free,” the speaker yelled as “protesters” marched past Parliament Hill. “Long live October 7th, long live the resistance,” the speaker called out to cheers from the crowd of thousands.

All of our PM’s pictured screwed Canada over by importing Islam.

In a just world they would be tried as terrorists.

Ordinary Canadians will suffer while they live out their lives in privileged isolation from the damage they have done.

The media and Pols add insult to injury by feigning shock that virulent antisemitism from the Islamo-left could be so widespread. It dashes their narrative that such hate could only originate from Right Wing islamophobic antisemitic White people. 

To criminalize dissent the elites corrupted our intelligence services to lie that “white supremacism”  was a threat equal  to or greater than Islam.

No doubt copious tears are flowing around the Kumbaya Kool-Aid cooler.

I love to say it. TOLD YOU SO!

Gee all those cops for 1 guy?

They have always told you who they are.

FIRST READING: Canadians are so fed up, they’re abandoning political sacred cows

It’s been among the most volatile and untouchable third rails in Canadian politics: The adoption, at any level, of a private health-care system.

In the last federal election, a Conservative statement about “public-private synergies” was all it took for Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland to brand it as a right-wing assault on the “public, universal health-care system.”

But a new Ipsos report shows that “two tier health care” is not the threat it once was.

Former Toronto Metropolitan University Students Cleared to Sue School Over COVID Vaccination Policy

A lawsuit launched more than two years ago by a group of former Toronto Metropolitan University students over the school’s COVID vaccination policy has been given clearance to proceed.

Ryan O’Connor has been representing 18 students from the university, which was formerly known as Ryerson, since they launched their lawsuit in 2022. Despite the long delay, a judge has now decided that enough evidence exists to move the case to discovery, he told The Epoch Times.

How much is too much? Analyzing the U.S. and Canada’s government debt problem

Nearly two decades ago, David Walker went on tour across the United States. Not as a rock star or a travelling preacher, though he did have a sermon to spread. Instead, Mr. Walker was the country’s chief bean-counter, and his message for his fellow Americans was grim: The U.S. was suffering from “a fiscal cancer,” the then comptroller-general told the public on what he called his Fiscal Wakeup Tour. Spiralling deficits and debt would have “catastrophic consequences” if left untreated.

His pleas were ignored.

Can Trudeau’s budget restore ‘generational fairness’? Economists say don’t bet on it

“Everything that is created, built, served and sold in this country is increasingly being created, built, served and sold by Millennials and Gen Z,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he announced what he called a budget focused on a quest for “generational fairness.”

“Their success is Canada’s success in the future, sure, but also right now. But the economy isn’t rewarding them the way it used to reward their parents and grandparents.

“That’s not right. That’s not fair.”

Trudeau is at risk of weary voters tuning him out — and Poilievre needs to be cautious too

In marketing as in politics, a brand’s voice can make or break its ability to connect with its target audience. More than just tone and delivery, a brand’s voice signals its authenticity, approachability, and relatability. Get the voice wrong, and your message may fall on deaf ears — or worse, grate on them like nails on a chalkboard.

As Marshall McLuhan famously said, “the medium is the message.” In other words, how you say something is just as important as what you’re saying. The wrong brand voice can cause the receiver to simply tune out. Like Charlie Brown’s monotonous teacher whose “wah wah wah” fails to hold the Peanuts gang’s attention, a brand that speaks in a dull, generic way will struggle to engage its audience.

Most Canadians and Americans don’t trust the UN, poll finds

United Nations meets Beaver

The majority of Canadians and Americans do not trust the United Nations, according to a new poll.

The Leger survey for the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and the Metropolis Institute was conducted about four months after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Since then, the UN has been under fire for its response to the attack, and for a UN agency’s alleged connections to the Hamas terrorists.

Three auto theft convictions should result in three years in prison, Pierre Poilievre says

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says repeat car thieves should not be allowed to serve their sentence “in their living room watching Netflix.”

Poilievre released a new policy today that insists the current Liberal government goes too easy on people who steal cars.

He says a Conservative government would make sure auto thieves spend at least three years in prison if they are convicted for a third time, and ban house arrest for those convicted of an indictable offence.

Canada’s immigration dilemma — not enough workers or not enough homes

The federal government’s decision to bring in fewer newcomers in the next few years due to the housing crunch could create labour shortages and inflationary pressures on some areas of the economy if the right balance isn’t maintained, says an analysis by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

Conrad Black: The nadir of our once great nation

It was my privilege last week to meet with a western Canadian group of public-spirited and accomplished individuals who are so concerned by what they see as the general decline of Canada, they believe that a radical change of policy direction is all that will prevent us from becoming a failed state. It was a spirited session, replete with entertaining, if somewhat bibulous but friendly interruptions. In preparation, I had done some updated research and concluded that their concerns were more justified than I had thought even a few months ago, when I last wrote about this subject in this column.
