Well, to each their own. I’m not in the market for a boat living in the Canadian prairies (I think the closest ocean to me is actually the Arctic ocean), but if somebody happened to live closer to the ocean…and was in the position to be looking for one, there might be some good deals to be had at fire sale prices within the next week, depending on the auction catalogue, etc…

Do you need a boat? Maybe a discount yacht? Can you get to the Atlantic via the Potomac?
Yep, easy.

Shame I get deathly seasick.

I’m very curious what your question was and it’s wording in order that prompt this response???

Giving an AI answer to a specific question without stating with the specific question is…is pretty misleading at best.

As much as I could always use the money, I don’t think there could be a high enough dollar figure involved.
Black Sabbath refers to the British arrest of 2700 Zionist terrorists in Operation Agatha.

How many got away?

Were 2700 terrorists victims of the British as portrayed in it being a BLACK Sabbath?

Is using War Pigs as a Palestinian war cry "Anti-Semitism"?

Isn't that enough for a ban?

Terrorism against the Crown is awesome?

Pre 1982 an attack on the Crown was an attack on Canada.

Our legal system has no statute of limitation.



If youre going to stuff plastic up my ass like a lesbian on a second date it better be a fist full of Platinum VISA cards ya fucking wankers.

As the second anniversary of October 7 approaches, Canada has an opportunity to act with principle. Listing the DFLP, PRC, Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and Gaza’s Al-Ansar Brigades would send a clear message that peace cannot be built by turning a blind eye to terrorism.

October 7 was a terrorist attack by any definition: civilians were massacred, families destroyed, children abducted, women sexually assaulted, entire communities nearly erased. And it was not carried out by Hamas alone. It was a co-ordinated assault involving multiple factions in Gaza that trained and struck together.

Canada has been too quick to reward aspirations with recognition, and too slow to confront reality. By closing these gaps now, Canada can show that it does, in fact, know the difference between diplomacy and denial.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly unveiled Gaza peace plan has thrown the spotlight back on international diplomacy. Israel has already said yes; the world now waits to see whether Hamas will do the same. Canada, meanwhile, prematurely recognized Palestinian statehood without imposing mandatory conditions that only weeks previous where contingent to its endorsement.

Tuesday will mark the two-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks in which Hamas terrorists kidnapped and murdered Israelis, young and old, in their homes and at the Nova Music Festival. Many of the festival goers were around the age of most university students. Despite this fact, and despite the terrifying videos that surfaced from that day, if you were to look at Concordia University’s undergraduate student handbook as well as communications posted by several student associations at the Montreal university, you’d be given the impression that it was not a horrific day at all, but cause to celebrate, and worse, that the job hasn’t been completed. In other words, it appears that Hamas’ influence over Concordia is at an all-time high.
I wonder what Amira Elghawaby (as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia) would have to say about this?
I'd wager Amira Elghawaby is pickled tink.
Ironically, these students, who no doubt believe they are supporting the democratic self-rule of Palestinians, are actually undermining the best interests of Palestinians by supporting Hamas, which used terrorism to purposely undermine the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords and Yasser Arafat because he was willing to share land with Jews.

That’s right, sympathetic Concordians. You’ve been duped.

Hamas are not freedom fighters struggling for a democratic Palestinian state. They are fighting for Islamic rule of Palestine and the West — by any means necessary.

Despite making up around one per cent of Canada’s population, Statistics Canada reported that in 2023, Jews were the victims of 70 per cent of all religiously motivated hate crimes. Muslims, who constitute around 4.5 per cent of the population, accounted for just 16 per cent.

If you like that…Hamas victims’ families and Canadian Jewish groups are condemning anti-Israel protesters’ plans for events commemorating the “martyrs of Palestine” on Tuesday, the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks.

“When you think they can’t sink any lower, they do,” said Raquel Look, a Montreal woman whose son, Alexandre, was murdered on Oct. 7, 2023, after attending the Nova Music Festival in Re’im, southern Israel.

Alexandre, a 33-year-old Canadian who lived and worked in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was in Israel on vacation when he was killed, said his mom.

“I had to wait three weeks for Alex’s body to come home, and it was a hell I don’t wish upon anyone,” she said.

Social media posts indicate there are events planned at several Canadian universities, including Concordia, McGill and the University of Toronto, that would appear to glorify the October 7 attacks.

An event at the University of Toronto Mississauga will be, “honouring our martyrs,” says social media post from the the school’s students’ union, which promotes a gathering slated for 3 p.m. Tuesday outside the school’s student centre.

“We remember our martyrs, we honour their legacy, and we continue the fight for a free Palestine,” says the Instagram post from the school’s student union.

An Instagram account dubbed “Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights McGill” posted a notice about an Oct. 7 rally planned for 1 p.m. at Concordia’s Hall Building. “It is time for students to take action in support of Palestine and its resistance,” says the post.

Jewish students and faculty members at some Canadian universities have complained in recent years about not feeling safe on campus. Some say they have been attacked, and others say they have experienced antisemitism.

Last year, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warned that the Israel-Hamas war has led to a spike in “violent rhetoric” from “extremist actors” that could prompt some in Canada to turn to violence.

Two years ago, Hamas gunmen killed about 1,200 people and took another 251 hostage. In response, the Israeli military launched a campaign against Hamas that the terror group’s health ministry in Gaza says has killed an estimated 67,139 people. Israel disputes those figures, which include both fighters and civilians.

Iddo Moed, Israel’s ambassador to Canada, wrote Sunday on social media that western countries have seen “radicalization and the glorification of terrorism lead to violence against Jews in the Diaspora.”

“Now on the second anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack, it pains me to learn of a series of events planned in cities across Canada to commemorate the ‘martyrs’ of October 7,” Moed wrote on X.

Any attempt to “honour or legitimize the perpetrators of such violence is not only deeply hurtful to Israelis and Jews everywhere but also stands in direct contradiction to the fundamental values of democracy, decency, and respect for human life,” Moed wrote.

He urged “all Canadians—regardless of background or beliefs—to stand up against hate in any form. Let us unite in condemning these commemorations and ensure that Canada remains a place where hate, violence, and the glorification of terror have no place.”

The ambassador called “on Canadian leaders from all parties and levels of government to join (him) in rejecting messages of hate and remembering the victims whose lives were stolen on October 7.”
On that day, Look said that Alexandre had phoned her early in the morning as he left the Nova music festival, telling her that there had been a terrorist attack. Along with his friends, Alexandre drove to a shelter about 15 minutes away from the festival site. He was on the phone with his mother until he said in Hebrew: “There’s a lot of them. Mommy, I can’t talk now.”

He dropped the phone, she said. “And we heard what we later found out was him fighting with the first terrorist. He actually managed to disarm the first one. And then we heard shots, lots of shots, and sounds of grenades.”

Look was huddled by the phone with her husband and Alexandre’s younger sister as the attack unfolded. “We were just nestled together, in total shock, crying.”

Of the nine people Alexandre Look had attended the music festival with, four were killed, said his mom.

Neither student group could be reached Monday for an interview.

U of T is “monitoring events on our campuses this week related to the Oct. 7 anniversary and will take action if any pose a safety risk, contravene university policies or break the law,” said a written statement from the university.

“Concerns have been raised about one student union event planned at the Mississauga campus. We have met with the leaders of that independent student group to remind them of their obligations. UTM Campus Safety and Peel Regional Police have been in contact and are jointly working to assess safety and prepare appropriately.”

Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s director of research and advocacy, condemned the events.

“It is disgraceful that, on Canadian streets, some now plan vigils that celebrate the atrocities that claimed thousands of lives, including eight Canadians,” said Robertson’s statement.

“The celebration of terrorism is not a form of free expression. It is an insult to every victim of violence and a betrayal of Canadian values.”

He urged Canadians not to “look away while extremists attempt to recast barbarism as resistance. Every public celebration of terror erodes the safety, decency, and unity that bind this country together. Those who cherish freedom and democracy must respond with moral clarity and unwavering resolve, standing firmly for human dignity.”

The Jewish service organization urged “our civic leaders, universities, and law enforcement to take clear action to ensure our public spaces are never used to promote or justify acts of terror.”

Canadians should be alarmed “to see terrorists openly memorialized and treated as heroes in the streets of our country,” said a statement from Noah Shack, chief executive officer at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.

“Just days ago in Manchester, we saw how pro-Hamas extremism is fueling acts of horrific violence against Jews. In response to these rallies celebrating Canadian-listed terrorist groups on Canadian campuses and other public spaces, authorities must be vigilant in ensuring that anyone who breaks the law is held accountable. At all levels, government must act to end the mass incitement happening in our country.”

The Jewish student organization Hillel took to social media Sunday offering to walk Montreal students to class Tuesday and looking for volunteers who are willing to accompany them.

Don’t you think that was a two-way street? Don’t you think there is a lot of terrorism and shitty shit going in both directions? Are you back to the whole “Jews & only Jews can do bad things?” Don’t you think it’s a little weird that you think history started in 1967?
(YouTube & Powerful message from Golda Meir, Israel’s 4th Prime Minister, whose words continue to resonate decades later)

Today is the second anniversary of “Israel” being invaded by Hamas (& Friends), & they’re still trying to get their people back today that were abducted from Israel two years ago. Why today for a celebration of pro-Hamas-Palestinian “martyrs of Palestine”?

So you see the pro-terrorism “martyrs of Palestine” celebrations around the globe, today, on Oct 7th, as retaliation “against” oppression and violence? Hamas is a Jihadi terrorist organization that is committed to destroying Israel, killing the Jews, and dying as martyrs for their 72 virgins, and they need to be celebrated, today, under a loosely vailed pretence of a pro-Palestine movement, in Canada?
So no taking ownership of the 58 years of terrorism against Palestinians that led to Oct 7? Its all just poor me poor me.
Israel is not committing crimes; Israel is the crime to those people. Its mere existence. They’re not building a case against occupation ‘67; they’re building a case against occupation ‘48.

Graham Carr said the decision came after two people were arrested on Monday “following the disruption of a class and midterm exam,” in an email sent to the “Concordia community” and obtained by National Post.

“One of those arrested was later discovered to be in possession of a metal bar and several incendiary devices. Neither of these individuals are members of the Concordia community,” he said.

“Concordia University student groups are organizing a rally this October 7, celebrating the massacre and atrocities committed by Palestinians, glorifying terrorism under the banner of ‘resistance,'” etc…
