BREAKING:

The asylum seeker who sparked huge riots in Belfast by trying to behead a local has been named as Hadi Alodid.

He’s from Khartoum in Sudan. The city is currently under control of the Muslim Brotherhood-allied Sudanese Armed Forces. Beheadings are an Islamist specialty

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The Belfast victim has lost his left eye and has severe damage to his right eye.

Hacked at the neck, with his eyes gouged.

Men who inflict this brutal evil on others do not deserve to live.

First minister Michelle O'Neill: “The debate today ... is about our inclusive society, our welcoming society.”

Tone deaf.

[Darrell Stonehouse @DarrellSto67629]

He knows this. It’s why he’s killing the pipeline with upstream carbon taxes and Pathways costs.

[Melissa Lantsman @MelissaLantsman]

C-69’s “no more pipelines” act, the C-48 shipping ban, an emissions cap, a rising industrial carbon tax, and endless red tape are ALL still on the books.

Repeal them. All of them. 🇨🇦

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.

But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.

That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.

There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.

The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”

Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.

That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.

[David Vance @DavidVance]

It appears he threatened to kill the NHS radiographer who treated him after he had tried to kill Stephen Ogilvy. And yet the Prime Minister and media are more angry about people protesting this.

@ExnerPirot @seeriley “We should wonder why so many in eastern 🇨🇦 believe this, assert this, and seem to want it to be true.”

For decades Tides et al spent millions convincing Canadians. This was obediently and uncritically repeated over and over in media in 🇨🇦 and around the globe.

[Heather Exner-Pirot @ExnerPirot]

Canadian oil sands are not “the highest carbon oil in the world”. We should wonder why so many in eastern Canada believe this, assert this, and seem to want it to be true.

And there would be zero need for any public $ if the Liberals would just get out of the way & get rid of all the bad pipeline-preventing laws.

[Dwayne Chomyn @Citizen004]

People aren't mocking this because Sean joined the socialists. They're mocking it because he insisted his reporting was objective when it was clearly partisan. Too many journalists use reporting jobs as vehicles for activism.

I respect that he's dropping the pretense and openly joining his team.

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

[Lee Humphrey @tleehumphrey]

Trump has mused about two bilateral deals for 18 months now saying that the deal with Mexico is very different than the deal with Canada.

Mexico clearly got the message & is now on round three of formal negotiations with the US.

Carney’s approach was to say no rush & even when the US Ambo to Canada warned us that it was a stupid approach, all Carney aided aptly by his ventriloquist dummy Ford did was get offended & pretend the ambassador had called all CDN’s stupid.

Of course the subsidies addicted MSM amplified that narrative instead of asking Carney what he was hoping to accomplish by not engaging with the American head negotiator.

Now hear we are, Mexico is closing in on a deal, LeBlanc flew to DC & formally proposed a 16 year extension & was rebuffed while Ford flew to town & managed to meet with a couple of Democrat Congressmen which is akin to an American bragging about meeting with Elizabeth May & Avi Lewis.

Carney’s number one election promise was that he would get a deal with Trump…yet here we are a year later & he’s again off to Europe to be feted by the very EU that 9 years after Canada ratified CETA (Canada-Europe Free Trade Agreement) still hasn’t ratified the deal themselves.

Oh & he’s yet to secure a bilateral meeting with Trump at the G7!

[Lee Humphrey @tleehumphrey]

Carney is setting up Premier @ABDanielleSmith IMO.

He’s imposing regulatory conditions that make the private sector business case for building a new pipeline to the West Coast nearly impossible while hedging his bets that when you add in indigenous & BC gov push back, no pipeline company in the western world, would take the risk.

Now if you’re a bit concerned about Carney’s relationship with China, perhaps it’s a long term play to offer the contract to the China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co., Ltd. (CPP) which is owned by the Chinese National Petroleum Company (CNPC) would be willing to take the risk on.

A year ago, the government said dozens of senior Iranian officials are here in Canada who should be deported.

In the last year exactly *one* has been deported.

When will the government treat foreign interference threats seriously & protect our Persian community?
