An attempted arson attack on a historic synagogue reveals a total breakdown of baseline security and public order on Canadian soil. Forcing communities to face targeted violence and hate-driven destruction at synagogues is a catastrophic domestic failure. Performative administrative statements condemning these acts mean absolutely nothing when radical hostility has been systematically tolerated for almost three years. These extremists operate with zero fear because the law is never decisively enforced against them. This is terrorism, and it must be dealt with head-on with full force. The political establishment must stop choosing public relations damage control over the permanent destruction of active terror threats inside Canada.
Now you know why we are leaving. Not far from us.
Issuing soft diplomatic scripts while ignoring the reality that Hezbollah is an active terrorist organization funded by the Islamic Republic of Iran reveals a complete collapse of strategic clarity. Demanding generalized restraint while failing to name the specific international bankrollers like Qatar who finance and control these terror networks exposes the shallow nature of modern foreign policy announcements. This performative messaging deliberately avoids pointing out the explicit entities driving the violence, prioritizing safe public relations narratives over unyielding accountability. A nation cannot project real strength or command international respect when its leadership continuously sanitizes armed networks with generic joint statements. True global leadership requires abandoning empty ceasefire boilerplate, directly confronting the foreign networks bankrolling destabilization, and standing unyieldingly against systematic terror operations.
1/2: Canada, together with 11 other partners, expresses its profound concern over the continued escalation of hostilities in Lebanon and welcomes ongoing efforts to implement the ceasefire. We call upon all parties to exercise maximum restraint, adhere fully to the ceasefire, refrain from actions that could lead to further escalation, and ensure the protection of civilians.
Handing out temporary checks while a resource-rich G7 country suffers under a severe affordability crisis is an absolute insult to struggling citizens. Admitting that over twelve million people require government handouts just to afford basic food items is a confession of systemic failure, not an accomplishment. This manufactured reliance suppresses genuine prosperity while unvetted immigration frameworks finish suffocating the national infrastructure. Superficial public relations campaigns cannot hide the raw reality of an engineered domestic collapse.
Aujourd’hui, de l’argent ira directement dans le compte bancaire de plus de 12 millions de Canadiens.
Et c’est grâce à la nouvelle Allocation canadienne pour l’épicerie et les besoins essentiels, qui donne un coup de pouce aux Canadiens qui en ont le plus besoin.
The upcoming Walk with Israel event highlights the critical necessity of defending Jewish Canadians from continuous intimidation across local neighbourhoods. While drawing a definitive line against targeted harassment is a necessary step, administrative warnings mean absolutely nothing without concrete execution in the streets. True public safety cannot be achieved through performative press conferences or temporary security perimeters designed for a single weekend. It requires a permanent commitment to holding radical hostility accountable to the full extent of the law. A nation cannot maintain basic stability or protect freedom of assembly when citizens are left wondering if institutional boundaries will actually be enforced. Toronto Police must decisively execute these directives on Sunday, abandon the policy of strategic de-escalation, and permanently restore baseline order.

@GadSaad A breathtaking display of classic, timeless romance. Someone get these two a Hollywood movie deal immediately! 🎬❤️
The Canadian federal government is actively using headline job numbers to mask a decaying domestic landscape. This artificial employment expansion is an absolute mockery of citizens struggling under severe economic hardship. It cannot hide the damage caused by federal programs that encourage corporations to exploit cheap foreign labour channels instead of hiring locally. This state-incentivized loophole completely suppresses domestic wages while unvetted immigration frameworks finish suffocating the entire Canadian infrastructure. Relying on superficial statistical rebounds will never fix an engineered economic collapse that leaves an entire generation locked out of home ownership. A resource-rich G7 nation cannot survive when its leadership continuously prioritizes global handouts over the immediate survival of Canadians.

The visual of a federal minister using a corporate grocery aisle as a promotional backdrop to rebrand a massive affordability crisis as an accomplished milestone is deeply insulting. Handing out minor, performative rebate cheques while a wealthy G7 nation suffocates under severe chaos in housing, healthcare, inflation, and a total explosion of violent crime and terrorism is a supreme national embarrassment. This collapse is being actively driven by mass, unvetted, and expedited immigration frameworks that are completely overwhelming domestic systems. The federal government has completely abandoned its primary obligation by prioritizing global handouts over the immediate survival of Canadians.
A one-time top-up payment of the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit goes out today.
Over 12 million Canadians will benefit, helping those in need to get ahead.
The whiplash of watching a U.S. President shift from saying help is on its way and commanding Iranian patriots to record the names of their killers to publicly praising the head of that exact terror network is a disgraceful spectacle. Citing recent interviews to rebrand an active executioner as a professional with a good reputation reveals a complete surrender of moral authority for transactional backroom deals. Declaring a willingness to meet Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the deceased dictator Ali Khamenei ignores the immense threat of an extremist leadership driven entirely by personal revenge. This dangerous outreach completely disregards 47 years of systematic global terrorism, brutality, tyranny, oppression, and active execution threats.
The blunt question that must be asked of foreign leaders is simple: HOW?
How can an unarmed population dismantle a heavily armed totalitarian machine when their lines of communication are systematically severed by state-enforced blackouts? When outside attacks were imminent, Iranians were explicitly told by international voices to stay home indoors, store water and food, and wait for a signal that it was safe to come out. The immediate response was the Islamic Republic broadcasting execution threats on state television while deploying thousands of foreign militias from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Pakistan to massacre people in the streets. Giving Iranians false hope and demanding they face foreign mercenaries empty-handed is a complete betrayal. Later praising this illegitimate regime on the world stage completely destroys any remaining trust. Global leadership must stop issuing performative statements and answer how Iranians are supposed to overthrow a global terror network without real, tangible international intervention.
US President Donald Trump said he would like to meet Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, adding he "probably would" at some point when asked during a New York Post podcast interview about a "gay Ayatollah."
Asked who was making decisions for Tehran, Trump said Khamenei was giving final approval in talks, but added he was "not hearing he's doing great" and "missing a lot of different parts" amid questions about the new leader's health.
The report on Khamenei's sexuality was first published by New York Post on March 16 that said US intelligence briefed Trump that Khamenei "may be gay".
The article added Mojtaba's father Ali Khamenei, the late Supreme Leader who was killed on the first day of the joint US-Israel war on Iran on Feb. 28, feared his son's suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason.
The federal government must immediately intervene and deploy every legal mechanism to stop the targeted harassment forcing Jewish Canadians out of their own country. Watching citizens forced to abandon their homes simply to secure basic personal safety evokes the darkest chapters of the twentieth century. The prime minister and the federal government must stop hiding behind performative public relations, decisively enforce the law, and permanently end this madness on Canadian soil.
The exodus has begun.

The dark assessment by Gad Saad that Canada is locked in a fatal, suicidal death spiral is completely proven by this institutional collapse. Appointing extremist proxies to a federal anti-hate council tasked with shielding citizens is an absolute disgrace to the country. There have been no consequences for these jihadist radical extremists making lives miserable and unsafe every single day, yet the federal government is busy validating hostile cells. Allowing terror sympathizers to systematically push vital citizens out of their own country stands as the ultimate loss for Canadian society. The prime minister must terminate these compromised appointments immediately and permanently end this structural betrayal.
I'm forever grateful to Canada for the years that I've spent building my life here. But I truly think that it is in a death spiral. Stage 5 Suicidal Empathy is fatal. I don't think that Canadians will ever wake up from their parasitized stupor.
Elevating individuals who legally shielded pro-Hamas campus encampments and lobbied against designating terrorist networks to a federal committee tasked with shielding Jewish Canadians is a supreme national humiliation. The federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney has transformed essential public safety initiatives into an absolute joke by staffing anti-hate councils with documented sympathizers of radical violence. While elite cardiac specialists are literally forced to abandon their hospitals and flee the country due to severe localized harassment, Ottawa is busy legitimizing extremists. This complete surrender of security proves that federal leadership would rather pacify aggressive political interest groups than protect its own citizens. Canada is losing its baseline identity to institutional rot because the current administration refuses to stand up for law and order. The prime minister must dismantle this compromised panel, terminate these toxic appointments immediately, and stop enabling the normalization of bigotry on Canadian soil.

Imagine what Iran would be and could be if its immense cultural wealth, brilliant minds, and natural resources were no longer hijacked by the fanatical dictatorship called the Islamic Republic. The visual presence of a modern generation of leadership at the Oslo Freedom Forum offers a compelling glimpse into a free and thriving nation. A future built on civil liberties, women’s rights, and genuine freedom of expression reveals a sophisticated alternative to decades of violent oppression. Reclaiming this stolen heritage and prioritizing transparent, democratic sovereignty stands as the core path forward. The world must look past the current tyranny and firmly support a civilized transition so that Iranians can finally reclaim their country, rebuild their economy, and permanently gain their freedom.
🌏 Noor Pahlavi will be speaking at the Oslo Freedom Forum this June in Oslo, Norway.

It is truly amusing to watch the federal government use highly polished corporate buzzwords to rebrand a verified technical recession as an uneven transition. The strategy is working beautifully, considering the U.S. President just seized on the data to publicly mock Canada as America's potential 51st state. It turns out that while Ottawa is busy sanitizing consecutive quarters of economic decline with scripted talking points, political leaders are left passively accepting dismissive remarks on the world stage. A nation cannot exactly command international respect when its sovereignty is being openly ridiculed online before dinner while its own leadership reacts with indifferent shrugs. The prime minister and the federal government must stop hiding behind confusing economic filters and realize that performative damage control will not fix a collapsing standard of living. It is time to drop the corporate vocabulary lessons, abandon the economic illusions, and restore basic law, order, and fiscal sanity to Canadian soil.
"We take the administration as it is," Carney said when asked about Trump's latest "51st state" remark, which was shared by the U.S. ambassador to Canada.

Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissing a verified technical recession as a mere settling-in period exposes how thoroughly detached federal leadership has become from everyday economic reality. Labeling consecutive quarters of structural economic decline as uneven weakness while regular families actively struggle to afford basic food and shelter is an insult to struggling households. Attempting to sanitize a severe domestic slump with superficial corporate talking points proves that administrative public relations take priority over tangible relief. A country cannot foster genuine business investment or stabilize household incomes when its leadership remains deaf to an ongoing affordability crisis. True economic recovery requires abandoning performative policy scripts, cutting wasteful spending, and implementing a transparent plan that restores financial stability. The prime minister and the federal government must stop hiding behind confusing economic jargon and directly confront this fiscal emergency before the baseline standard of living completely collapses.
"The data is going to be uneven," Carney said.

Princess Noor Pahlavi explicitly defining the Islamic Republic as an occupying force completely shatters the illusion of its legitimacy. Categorizing a fanatical regime as a foreign occupation rather than a lawful government reveals the absolute truth of its decades-long oppression. A dictatorship that hijacks a country's wealth to fund regional terror while treating its own population as hostages is not a sovereign state. Reclaiming national independence from this oppressive network stands as the core blueprint for a free Iran. The international community must stop enabling this tyranny and firmly support a civilized, democratic transition so that Iranians can finally reclaim their country and gain their freedom.
Princess Noor Pahlavi delivering a clear-eyed, powerful address at the Oslo Freedom Forum provides an inspiring message of democratic unity. Proclaiming that her father’s and family’s singular vision for the future of Iran is a transition to free and fair elections stands as a sophisticated, brilliant blueprint for a free nation. This elegant declaration demonstrates the presence of a legitimate, modern leadership capable of guiding a country toward genuine freedom, peace, and self-determination. The world must recognize and celebrate this unified path forward, where the voices of Iranians can finally take centre stage.

The horrific reality of an eighteen-year-old university student bleeding to death in handcuffs while police validate a murderer's weaponized allegations of racism is a national disaster. Handcuffing a dying teenager who was pleading for medical help because responding officers chose to instantly embrace a knife-wielding criminal's lies exposes a complete breakdown of systemic sanity. Forcing a family to watch court playback of their innocent son being read his rights while losing consciousness is an insult to human dignity. This tragedy is a devastating reminder that the racism card has become a dirty, exhausting shield used by violent offenders to manipulate institutions. The police failed this family completely, and no official apology can ever undo the catastrophic harm inflicted. The world has lost a brilliant young soul, and humanity has thoroughly failed a grieving family who trusted the state to protect their child. True justice requires stripping away performative public relations, holding law enforcement directly accountable for this unpardonable failure, and forcing an absolute return to objective law and order.
Rest in Peace, Henry Nowak. 💔

The explicit acknowledgment by intelligence experts that the Islamic regime has survived tactical pressure exposes a dangerous failure in global deterrence. Failing to dismantle the core centres of power has allowed a fanatical death cult to transition seamlessly into a far more volatile era under Mojtaba Khamenei. While his father used a fake religious decree against nuclear weapons as a public relations lie to trick Western diplomats, the new leadership is dropping the act completely. Driven by pure personal vengeance and backed completely by the IRGC, an officially listed terrorist entity across multiple nations, this consolidated dictatorship is abandoning all past diplomatic games to aggressively sprint toward an actual atomic bomb. The nuclear project remains essentially unchanged, proving that standard negotiations are completely useless against an ultra-radicalized network. The international community is not facing a diplomatic state; it is coddling an emboldened regime that thrives on regional blood. Stop talking about containment and realize that a system built on terror will never compromise until it is utterly broken.
We warned that Mojtaba was worse than his father
Remember when living on Canadian soil meant going to school, getting a job, buying a house, and gathering friends and families for a peaceful dinner on the weekend? Strolling down the street enjoying an ice cream, saying hello to passing neighbours, and feeling genuinely proud to be Canadian was the standard. The economy was flourishing, security was at its absolute best, and standard options on store shelves and fast-food menus were simply defined by local and premium North American products. There was no sense of invasion, fear, or daily intimidation. That beautiful, stable vision of a unified national identity is what regular citizens miss so deeply today. Reclaiming that fractured social contract is exactly why an immediate, unyielding return to absolute law and order is non-negotiable.
The official broadcast by Prime Minister Mark Carney admitting that targeted attacks on Jewish Canadians are out of control confirms a severe, systemic collapse of public safety. No administrative committee is required to diagnose a crisis that regular citizens witness playing out all day, every day on local streets. Synagogues are shot at multiple times, while innocent individuals are continuously harassed, intimidated, and threatened. Everyday families now face the terrifying reality of rising street violence and targeted confrontations within their own communities. Prominent figures like Gad Saad have already left the country entirely because this has become an impossible way to live. Canada is actively allowing its law-abiding population to be displaced and replaced on Canadian soil by aggressive supporters of foreign terrorist networks. These daily protests must be stripped of all permits. The glorification of terrorists, chants for intifadas, and public incitement must be permanently banned. This lawlessness has to end immediately with a complete and unyielding return to absolute law and order.
