Every once in a while, someone inside a tightly protected system decides to say the quiet part out loud. That is what Joel Fox, a dairy farmer from the Trenton area, did recently in the Ontario Farmer newspaper.
No Stabilization in Gaza Without Dismantling Hamas
It is time to confront one of the most dangerous illusions of our time: the belief that an International Stabilization Force for Gaza can bring order, reconstruction, or peace without dismantling Hamas. A force that enters Gaza while Hamas remains armed will merely stabilize Hamas itself. It will become, in practice, an International Stabilization Force for Hamas, a shield that protects the very organization that plunged Gaza into tragedy.
So long as there is Islam the world will not know peace.

Can Carney still put together a credible climate plan? Does it matter?
Ten months before he resigned from Mark Carney’s cabinet, Steven Guilbeault vouched for the then Liberal leadership contender.
“I’ve known Mark for many years. We’ve worked together on issues of green energy, transition, fighting climate change and the role of the financial sector in fighting climate change,” Guilbeault told reporters when he endorsed Carney’s candidacy to lead the party in January.
So long as he and Brookfield can profit.

In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Trump accused continental leaders of failing to adequately support Ukraine, branding some of them “real stupid”, as well as claiming Sadiq Khan’s London had been ruined by “ unchecked, unvetted” migration.
Here’s what Canadian provinces are doing with all the US liquor they pulled off shelves
Canadian provinces have a strange problem: What to do with millions of dollars worth of American alcohol, pulled from the shelves in anger over US tariffs and now gathering dust in stock rooms?
At least two provinces say the booze will go to a good cause, promising to sell remaining inventory and donate proceeds to charity.
One province is offloading it to restaurants and bars instead of selling it to the public.
