Prominent Liberal Speaks Out On Israel-Hamas Conflict
We’re saving your tweets, @mohamadfakih8. History has a long memory — it will mark who stood with the only democracy in the Middle East, and who chose instead to excuse genocidal Islamic terrorists.

On behalf of literally every Canadian of conscience: if you are a Canadian and a supporter of Israel, you do not have basic human values, let alone Canadian values.

John Sikkema: Hamilton, where billboards can’t question transgender children
On Aug. 8, Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath saw a billboard she didn’t like. So she lifted her hand and she gave a command. And the billboard came down that same day.
“This afternoon, my office was made aware of a transphobic ad on a billboard along the Linc,” Horwath announced on social media, referring to the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway. The post didn’t mention what the advertisement said, or what it was about.
WTF?
No one sensible denies the hardship people in Gaza are facing. But @AmiraElghawaby you're not evenhanded. I've scrolled through your timeline starting October 7 for at least a month going forward and I see no condemnation of the horrific Hamas attacks on Israel. No mention of… https://t.co/yA0hHhYaDP pic.twitter.com/n70fXcg0jc

Kneecap keeps Canadian tour dates, cancels U.S. shows due to court hearing
The Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, whose performance at Coachella earlier this year sparked controversy for projected messages against the Israeli government’s war in Gaza, is cancelling 15 of its shows in the United States but says four scheduled shows in Vancouver and Toronto will go on.
In an Instagram post this week, the group announced it was cancelling the U.S. shows due to Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh’s upcoming court hearing in London scheduled for Sept. 26.
Ó Hannaidh is a rapper and group co-founder who performs under the name Mo Chara. He faces terrorism charges in the United Kingdom after videos emerged appearing to show him wearing a Hezbollah flag over his head. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are designated terror groups in Britain and Canada.
Women and children face deportation under Reform migrant plan
Women and children would be deported under Reform UK’s plans to remove 600,000 illegal migrants within five years, Nigel Farage has said.
Emergency powers would be passed to stop all small boat arrivals within days of a Reform-led government coming to power, he said, and there would be a “carrot and stick approach” to encourage people to leave, followed by forcible detentions and removals.
Farage raised the prospect that children born in the UK to parents who arrived illegally could also be deported, but added such a move would be “complex”.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
WTF?

Canada Post lost $407M in 2nd quarter, says customers seeking out other parcel carriers
Canada Post continues to hemorrhage money, losing $407 million in the second quarter of 2025, the beleaguered Crown corporation announced Tuesday.
It’s the largest quarterly loss as parcel revenue plummets, the postal service said.

Put it out of its misery.
‘Who let her in??!’ Minister’s staff accidentally text deliberations about 15 per cent spending cut to reporter
OTTAWA — With ministers due to present their proposals for a 15 per cent spending review, deciding where to cut carries inescapable “political consequences,” according to the staff of Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin.

For Media Hypocrites, Burning The US Flag Is Speech But Touching The Rainbow One Is ‘Hate’
On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to use existing laws to prosecute American flag desecration.
The order instructs agencies to “prioritize the enforcement to the fullest extent possible of our Nation’s criminal and civil laws against acts of American Flag desecration that violate applicable, content-neutral laws, while causing harm unrelated to expression, consistent with the First Amendment.”
To be clear, the order does not make flag burning itself illegal. It makes no new laws.
