Mark Carney needs to stand up for Jewish Canadians

Ho-hum. Here we go again. Just another day in Toronto, another attack on the Jewish community. Just last week, in separate shootings, three synagogues and two Jewish-owned enterprises were fired on, not to mention antisemitic incidents elsewhere in Canada and the torrent of antisemitic venom online which goes under the radar. We know where this can lead.

Since the synagogue shootings of last week a number of articles have appeared calling for Carney and other of our elites to publicly denounce antisemitism.

I just can’t figure who the intended audience is for these proposed Great Man speeches.

It certainly isn’t going to sway the Muslims nor will it change the minds of their useful-idiot “anti-Zionists” who have been well and truly indoctrinated by DEI.

The 3rd World migrants our elites import for cheap labour have no shared history and no reason to listen.

Bad immigration policy, the officially approved racism of DEI, the erasure of Canada’s history and heritage, the extreme-left capture of our education system and the embrace of identity politics all point to Canada’s antisemitism problem being the handiwork of Canada’s elites as if it were all part of the plan.

Carney may as well scream at himself in the mirror.

I’m going to stop writing an article every week explaining how ‘Islamism’ is simply Islam and instead use this two-minute video from @GadSaad. pic.twitter.com/l7PxhSgsc0

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout crosses floor from NDP to Liberals

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout is leaving the NDP to join the Liberal caucus, adding another floor-crosser to the government ranks as the Liberals inch closer to a majority government.

NDP interim Leader Don Davies issued a statement late Tuesday saying the party has a long-standing view that floor crossers should step down and run in a by-election.

WARMINGTON: One-time member of Toronto Police’s Muslim Liaison Unit arrested

A Toronto Police constable has been suspended following an arrest by Peel Regional Police on charges of assault and sexual assault.

“Farhan Ali, 39, has been arrested and charged” with “three counts of sexual assault, three counts of assault and four counts of mischief,” Peel cops said.

Being a sex fiend is actually a muslim religious thing.

Canada restricts drug boat intel from U.S. Navy’s Caribbean airstrike operation

The Department of National Defence says it has safeguards in place to prevent intelligence from being shared with elements of the U.S. military that have carried out numerous lethal strikes on small boats in the Caribbean.

In a statement to CBC News, the department said that intelligence gathered during Operation Caribbe is “restricted” to the joint interagency task force running the operation and its partners, and is “caveated to not share with any elements of Operation Southern Spear.”

Economy One year after Trump’s sovereignty threats, Canadians keep ‘elbows up’

For Lisa Mcbean, buying American-made snacks and traveling to the U.S. was second nature. That changed for the Ontario resident starting in early 2025.

Since then, the 54-year-old has checked if products are made in Canada before buying at the grocery store. Mcbean canceled multiple trips to the U.S. she had planned for concerts. Once-common jaunts across the border to shop are out of the picture.

What we’ve lost: Nationalism

Growing up in suburban Toronto, I occasionally had classmates who, being the children of immigrants, like myself, seemed spiritually homeless. They spent their summers in their parents’ countries, which were like gauzy pocket universes, while Canada remained a land of mud and chores, tolerated but not loved, pallid against the glow of a romanticized elsewhere.

‘Canada at a crossroads’: Jewish groups call for action after 3 synagogues hit by gunfire

The leaders of several Jewish organizations in the Toronto area are calling for urgent action after three synagogues were hit by gunfire in the past week.

“Canada is at a crossroads,” said Noah Shack, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA). “We’re not going anywhere, and we need every Canadian of conscience to stand up with us for our fundamental Canadian values so that we can ensure that the Canada, the Ontario, and the city of Toronto that we want to see in the future comes to fruition.”

I honestly, HONESTLY thought this was AI at first.

But besides the thousand-yard stares, the utter lack of emotion (not anger, not sadness, just deadness), the wooden reading of the TELEPROMPTER, the terribly awkward posture, & the body language that screams “I KNOW this video… pic.twitter.com/oSB7FN092Q

MAiD deaths predicted to surge to 100,000 by spring 2026 — How did we get here?

Canada will kill its 100,000th patient through its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program, come spring 2026.

This estimated figure was popularized by Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian anti-MAiD podcaster, who shared the news in an article and on British rapper Zuby’s podcast.

The figures estimate a 4% increase in MAiD deaths in 2025 (statistics not yet released), with a similar projected estimate for 2026.

Debate over a foreign spy service for Canada influenced by allies, money: study

The decades-long debate over whether Canada should create a CIA-style foreign spy agency has been coloured by pressure from allies, budgetary restraint and internal federal rivalries, a new study reveals

OTTAWA – The decades-long debate over whether Canada should create a CIA-style foreign spy agency has been coloured by pressure from allies, budgetary restraint and internal federal rivalries, a new study reveals

Much of the discussion about Canada’s foreign intelligence aspirations has taken place — fittingly perhaps, given the subject matter — in classified memos and behind closed doors in the halls of government.

“To spy, or not to spy,” a new paper by researcher and former Canadian intelligence analyst Alan Barnes, draws on recently released archival records to trace the history of official thinking on the question from 1945 to 2007.

CBSA pauses removing inadmissible people to Israel and Lebanon due to war

The Canada Border Services Agency says it’s putting a pause on removal orders to Lebanon and Israel due to the volatile situation in both countries.

The agency says the temporary halt, known as an Administrative Deferral of Removals, is put on countries that are unsafe due environmental disasters or violence.

Seems like the best time to remove them.
