Tamara has spent more time in jail than many violent criminals in Canada including repeat offenders.
When you protest against your Government, they will make an example out of you to show others what you dare not think of doing again.
Does that sound like a good Government?

You get 18 summers. Then they're visiting.
You get 940 weekends. Then they have their own.
You get 6,570 bedtimes. Then silence.
Time is the only real currency of parenthood. Spend it wisely.
You can't earn more.

Once they’re inside the four walls of your home it should be fair game. No one is in your house at 3am to borrow a cup of sugar. And if you have children and a spouse you’re obligated to protect them. ⁦@fordnation⁩ https://t.co/ZmenYjGxs3

One of the many ridiculous legacies of the pandemic era. What a waste of taxpayer $$

UPDATE: 📷TDF secures major win as Crown drops all Quarantine tickets for Sarnia Amish group

Negotiations bring a six-month battle to an end and deliver justice for a vulnerable religious community.

TORONTO: The Democracy Fund (TDF) has secured a pivotal victory for Ontario’s Amish community, with the Crown withdrawing all Quarantine Act tickets against a group of Grey County Amish clients. The decision to withdraw concludes nearly six months of legal efforts, culminating in successful negotiations between TDF lawyers and Crown prosecutors. Withdrawing the tickets in Lambton County Court, the Crown cited “no reasonable prospect of conviction." Senior Litigation Counsel Adam Blake-Gallipeau represented the Amish families in court during the withdrawal.

The Amish rely on horse-and-buggy travel and lack familiarity with modern legal systems. After crossing the border during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were hit with thousands of dollars in Quarantine Act fines tied to the ArriveCan app and PCR testing.

Among the clients are families with sick and disabled children. These families rely on traditional farming and often pass their property to descendants - something that was threatened by liens registered against their property after the fines went unpaid — a threat now alleviated by this win. Due to TDF’s advocacy, their cases were reopened in early February, paving the way for today’s resolution.

“This is a victory for fairness,” said Blake-Gallipeau. “The Crown’s withdrawal is significant. These tickets should have never endangered the lives and land of a peaceful religious minority. We’re proud to deliver justice to these families. The Elders in the Amish community have acknowledged and greatly appreciate the support from TDF donors and the wider Canadian community.”

Though a milestone, TDF’s work continues for other Amish clients facing similar charges and appeals. The organization remains resolute in defending Canadians’ constitutional rights against overreach, with public support essential to this ongoing fight.

Saddened to hear about this, Roy.

Your decades of work on the Canadian radio airwaves, bringing us the news that matters, have left an indelible mark on all your listeners.

Thank you for your service to Canadians, and wishing you strength and courage in the fight ahead.

What a story. Hard to imagine walking in her shoes.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

With great sadness, we received the news about the passing of Auschwitz Survivor Denise Holstein.

Denise Holstein (6 February 1927 – 16 November 2024) dedicated her life to sharing her testimony and educating future generations about the atrocities she endured. She wrote two books about her experiences and participated in a documentary, recounting her story with unwavering courage.

Denise was born into a Jewish family in Rouen, France.

During the war, her father, Bernard, was briefly interned at the Drancy camp in 1942 but was released after three months. By 1943, however, the Holstein family’s fate took a darker turn. On January 15, Denise and her parents were arrested during a mass roundup of Jews in Rouen. While her parents were deported to Auschwitz later that year, Denise, sick with diphtheria and mumps, was initially spared and placed under the care of the Union Générale des Israélites de France (UGIF), living in homes for Jewish children whose parents had been deported.

By 1944, at just 17 years old, Denise was acting as a caretaker for younger children in the UGIF home in Louveciennes. Despite her young age, she took on the role of mentor and protector for a group of children, trying to shield them from the horrors surrounding them. However, on July 22, 1944, the home was raided on the orders of German officer Alois Brunner, and Denise, along with the children, was taken to Drancy.

On July 31, 1944, Denise was deported to Auschwitz with 34 children from Louveciennes. Denise did her best to comfort the children, singing to them and offering whatever solace she could.

Upon arrival at Auschwitz, Denise narrowly escaped death. A French deportee advised her not to take the hand of a crying child, a decision that could have led to her immediate execution in the gas chambers. While this advice saved her life, the children she cared for were all sent directly to the gas chambers upon arrival.

In Auschwitz, Denise worked long hours transporting heavy stones and endured brutal roll calls. At one point, she fell seriously ill with scarlet fever and was sent to the camp infirmary, where she encountered Josef Mengele.

In late 1944, Denise was transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She was liberated there on April 15, 1945, by British forces. Emaciated and suffering from typhus, she required immediate medical care but began the slow process of recovery and reintegration into life after the war.

"You people who come here, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you could pay a couple of bucks for a poppy."

5 years ago, Don Cherry was fired from Hockey Night in Canada for these comments.

He was right then, and even moreso today. Even Ron McLean agreed with him at the time as you can see in the video. That is, before he stabbed Don in the back the next day.

The woke knee-jerk reaction of letting him go was a big mistake, Don Cherry is a national treasure!

His entire Remembrance Day segment was excellent, watch it here:
