We don't need a special council to figure that out next year.

We need a maximalist application of existing laws from all levels of government, right now, to curb a growing, explicitly pro-violence hate movement . 4/4

For nearly three years since Oct 7, Canadian Jews have endured masked, antisemitic mobs in their neighbourhoods, schools, and shops. They've absorbed shooting and arson attacks on their synagogues and schools. They've watched police escort and serve coffee to the mobs.

All the while, the Liberal government spouted non-stop nonsense about Islamophobia, fast-tracked the immigration of thousands more Jew-haters from Gaza, and worked to isolate Israel while funding the UNRWA-Hamas complex. The message from the Liberal government was clear: You're on your own, and you kind of deserve it. Also, look at the demographics of our ridings.

So, after nearly three years of making antisemitism worse in Canada, and after more than a year of leading that effort himself, Carney is clearly far too late to make amends.

The only remaining question is: will it be too little as well?

A “fiercely loyal” Canadian would not have spent two years trying to burn down Canada.

A “fiercely loyal” Canadian would not have made a deal with separatists to give them everything they wanted.

A “fiercely loyal” Canadian would not ride the fence and only say she stood for Canada when it became politically convenient.

Danielle Smith is not an innocent bystander. She cannot blame 700,000 Albertans for this. She has been driving the separatist bus the entire time.

Thatcher privatized Heathrow in 1987. Its six owners now are Qataris, Saudis, China, Singapore, two investment funds

From 2024 revenue of £3.6B the six investors skimmed $917M — 25%

When Thatcherites give investors control of monopoly infrastructure, life gets more expensive

In 10 years, we'll realize young adults can't read, write, or think as well as they should. We'll wonder how we allowed students to offload huge chunks of their learning to AI. Today we're just watching it happen. This is the most obvious unforced error of our time.

One of the most astonishing stories of Canadian history is the arrival of over 100,000 Irish Famine migrants in 1847, about 10% to the population of Upper and Lower Canada at that time. Hundreds of thousands more followed in the years to come.

Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto were overwhelmed by the Irish, most of whom were severely malnourished, and many of whom were infected with typhus and other diseases.

In some places they were greeted by hostility and fear. But everywhere there were acts of heroic charity, like those of the Grey Nuns recounted below.

Toronto's first Catholic Bishop, Michael Power, was one of those who died from typhus that he contracted while helping to care for the dying in the fever sheds erected at the corner of John and King Streets in Toronto.

The largest mass graves in Canada are filled with the remains of thousands of Irish emigres who didn't survive their first months here. An estimated 6,000 people (perhaps one of them my g-g-grandmother) are buried in mass graves at both Grosse Île and Montreal.

In a country that remembered and valued its history, the story of the Famine Irish in Canada would be a powerful part of popular culture, memorialized in great films, literature, and art. But like so much of our brilliant history, it has been almost entirely forgotten.

🚀 Before Artemis, there was aeronautics.

👨‍🚀 Jeremy Hansen, Mission Specialist of Artemis II, built his career in aviation as a Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot.

He went on to fly high-performance aircraft and train as an astronaut in preparation for deep space missions.

You mean like calling Canada the 51st state? Like that?

[Cass Blackburn @FiftyFootNest]

They're home.

Seen below is Jazz Flight 7831 carrying the remains of First Officer Gunther to family in Ottawa, after first stopping in Montreal to deliver Captain Forest to his family.

These men deserve so much more than our nation gave them this week. It's sickening. 😭

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Every year, the remains of Canadian soldiers are still being discovered in farm fields in Belgium and Northern France.

Bert Detmold died for Canada over a century ago, but the recent discovery of his remains connects his sacrifice to our own time.

May Private Detmold rest in peace, and may we never forget the supreme sacrifice made for Canada by 118,000 of our fallen.

Once again, the hockey community demonstrates that it is utterly devoid of morals and will happily overlook any atrocities in favor of its favorite entertainers.
Completely despicable and wholly degenerate.

The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated. Incredible reporting from @RetractionWatch: https://t.co/ErcnEw60S6

Dear @MarkJCarney,

Last night military grade weapons were used against Temple Emanuel in Toronto.

I was told with high confidence these were IRGC operatives that did this.

@TorontoPolice have proven beyond any doubt their inability to protect Toronto's Jewish community.

It is time to deploy military and federal resources to defend Canadian Jews.

Astonishing.

Four years into defending themselves from Putin’s brutal invasion, outmanned, outgunned, after suffering enormous losses and being abandoned by the US, Ukraine is still pushing back, now with a tactical counter offensive.

In an age of growing nihilism, the Ukrainian people are showing the world the meaning of the ancient virtues: fortitude, patriotism, valour.

Slava Ukraini!

No disrespect to the 2019 Raptors, this felt bigger.

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

.@CBC reports that 350,000 people flooded the streets of Toronto today, answering the call of Prince Reza Pahlavi and standing for a free Iran.

No buses. No handouts. No coercion. Just conviction.

This is what real patriotism looks like.

Honoring the memory of fallen Ukrainian Defenders is not a violation of any rules and deserves respect.

Paying tribute and honoring fallen Defenders and innocent victims of Russian aggression is the least we can do.

It is precisely because of the sacrifice of Ukrainians that the Olympic Games are taking place under peaceful European skies.

It is important to speak the truth.

We thank Vladyslav Heraskevych for his principled stance and courage.

Sport can remain outside politics, but never outside conscience, honor, and dignity.

Glory to Ukraine!

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

Pay attention to what’s happening to Ukraine on a nightly basis - a Russian air assault designed to freeze the country into surrender.

One day after all this hell, the world will equate the endurance of Kyiv with that of London in the Blitz.

But as is always the case, in moment, while the history is happening, most are blind to it—

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
