Nearly a third of Canadians believe antisemitism has become more acceptable, survey finds

Nearly one-third of Canadians believe that antisemitism or anti-Jewish attitudes are becoming more acceptable in the country, according to a new poll.

The Leger survey, conducted on behalf of the Association for Canadian Studies, found that 31 per cent held that view, while the highest level of agreement was concentrated among university students (37 per cent), men (38 per cent) and Canadians between the ages of 18 and 34 (35 per cent). English speakers were more than twice (35 per cent) as likely to agree with the statement as opposed to just 16 per cent of Francophones.

What’s in the US-Iran agreement?

US officials have unveiled the full text of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding to extend the ceasefire, open the Strait of Hormuz and, they hope, end the conflict between the two countries nearly four months after it began.

The Trump administration has described the 14-point agreement as “performance-based”, with Iran benefitting only if it complies with its commitments.

Speaking at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains in France, President Donald Trump said that the deal will be formally signed “shortly” – potentially as soon as Thursday.

New Brunswick art gallery will show controversial Mohammed the Goat Rapist … oh wait it’s just that “Edgy” Piss Christ slop

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton is planning to exhibit one of the most controversial art works of the 1980s this summer.

The gallery announced Tuesday that it will be showing Piss Christ (Immersions), a large photograph by the American artist Andres Serrano that shows a crucifix suspended in an amber fluid that the artist identified as his own urine. It will be on display from Thursday to Nov. 29.


That spineless Gallery would never dare show the Motoons, but “Piss Christ” that’s so edgy and cool!

Vance shuts down hostile ‘The View’ hosts accusing Trump admin of denigrating ‘black folks’

Vice President JD Vance easily batted down accusations the Trump administration is hostile to Americans of color in his Tuesday appearance on “The View.”

Vance’s first time venturing into hostile territory was a cordial if restrained affair as he squared off with the show’s lefty hosts on a range of issues, coming away mildly bruised but far from beaten.

Homeownership increased for recent immigrants in Canada and decreased for Canadian-born individuals: StatsCan

Homeownership rates for recent immigrants in Canada grew recently, but it also decreased for Canadian-born individuals, according to a Statistics Canada study released Tuesday.

Homeownership in Ontario among recent immigrants in their fifth year in Canada rose by from 35.7 per cent in 2018 to 40.2 per cent in 2021, recording an increase of over 12 per cent. While Canadian-born individuals saw a five per cent decrease in homeownership rates for the same period from 50.7 per cent to 47.8 per cent.


I guess the Elbow people who voted for economic security wrecking mass immigration all have homes set aside for their children and grandchildren.

Group planned to attack White House UFC event using snipers and drones, FBI says

The FBI thwarted a plot targeting Sunday’s UFC event at the White House and has arrested five men, the US justice department said on Tuesday.

Part of the plan involved striking nearby buildings with explosive-laden drones and firing on “high value targets”, prosecutors alleged.

One suspect was arrested in Ohio last week, where investigators reviewed encrypted messages involving other alleged conspirators. Prosecutors said in charging documents they had allegedly “expressed ultra-religious and antigovernment sentiments”.

Sounds like a revolt!
