Sheryl Saperia: Why has Canada not listed all the groups that attacked on October 7 as terrorists?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly unveiled Gaza peace plan has thrown the spotlight back on international diplomacy. Israel has already said yes; the world now waits to see whether Hamas will do the same. Canada, meanwhile, prematurely recognized Palestinian statehood without imposing mandatory conditions.

Last week in these pages, I argued that the newly recognized state of Palestine should be designated as a state supporter of terrorism by the Carney government. At a minimum, if Ottawa wants to demonstrate moral clarity, it could start by listing as a terrorist organization every group found to have participated in the October 7 massacre.

Two words: “Muslim Votes”

Manchester attacker’s father praised Oct 7 Hamas terrorists

Jihad and Jihad Dad

The father of the Manchester synagogue attacker praised the Oct 7 Hamas terrorists as “Allah’s men on earth”.

Faraj Al-Shamie posted on Facebook his own support for the invasion of Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and about 250 civilians and soldiers taken hostage.

Mr Al-Shamie, a trauma surgeon who lived in council housing in Britain, said in his post on the day of the attack that the Hamas terrorists who had infiltrated the Jewish state on motorbikes and paragliders had “proved beyond a shadow of a doubt” that Israel would be destroyed eventually.

Incitement To Murder: German Police Investigate Far-Left Youth Over Targeting of AfD’s Alice Weidel

A scandal is rocking Germany: members of the youth wing of the Die Linke (The Left) party (Linksjugend) in Hanover distributed stickers featuring Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) co-leader Alice Weidel with a sniper’s crosshair over her head and the English caption “Aim Here.”

Lower Saxony police confirmed they have opened an investigation on charges of “public incitement to commit crimes and threats” after images of the stickers circulated on social media and AfD representatives filed a formal complaint.

Government workers in Canada enjoy higher wages than private-sector counterparts

In its upcoming federal budget, in an attempt to offset some of the massive spending commitments it’s made in recent months, the Carney government may shrink the size of the federal public service. But it should also bring government-sector wages in Canada more in line with private-sector wages.

Any talk of reducing wages — either in government or the private sector — will always generate controversy. And understandably so, as people’s jobs and wages are at stake. Therefore, it’s critical to examine the numbers so Canadians and policymakers can better understand the reality of the situation.

The “Strong Borders Act,” Misses the Mark — Only Deep Legal Reforms Will Confront Canada’s Fentanyl Networks:

OTTAWA — Bill C-2, Ottawa’s so-called “Strong Borders Act,” promises to secure Canada’s frontiers with new surveillance powers, sweeping ministerial discretion, and higher penalties. But as veteran Canadian investigators know, the bill misses the point. It is an omnibus solution that expands the state’s reach online, while leaving untouched the very legal choke points that have made Canada a permissive financial platform and fentanyl laboratory for cartels, Triads, and state-linked terror networks.

‘Golden Dome’ and a U.S. defence pivot create new challenges for Canada

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. administration is set to publish its National Defense Strategy this month at a time when the Pentagon is planning for a leaner, meaner military, and President Donald Trump is inviting Canada to enjoy the protection of Golden Dome defence by becoming the 51st U.S. state.

So, National Post spoke with Jennifer Kavanagh, a senior fellow and director of military analysis at Defense Priorities and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies, to get her insights on American defence strategy and the road ahead.

Canada will not pony up.

The Antifa War Instigators

Some things never change. Last Saturday, Ron Wyden, Oregon’s senior Democrat U.S. senator, made a ballsy — if unintended — declaration in a X post. Wyden proclaimed: “My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.”

My, my, are we hearing echoes of John C. Calhoun’s fiery declarations in the runup to the Civil War? The senator’s words smack of States’ Rights conceit. You’d think that Senator Calhoun — err, Wyden — was demanding that federal troops vacate Fort Sumter. Didn’t Abe Lincoln settle that matter way back when?

Black Elites Keep Flogging the Victimhood Lie

Progressivism is a house of cards built precariously on a foundation of sand. It hinges entirely on demonstrably false narratives intentionally designed to sow division and to “rub raw the resentments of the people,” as Luciferian Left-wing strategist Saul Alinsky put it. One of those narratives is that America was founded as, and continues to be, a systemically racist, white supremacist nation in which the purported “Land of Opportunity” excludes the awkwardly termed “people of color” from its promises and prosperity. Racism resides in our country’s very DNA, claimed Barack Obama.
