    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    Vehicle explosion closes Canada-U.S. border crossing near Niagara Falls: FBI

    I don’t see the word “Presumed” but OK. You do realize that Poilievre is the leader of the official opposition to the government in Parliament, right?

    There is plenty of evidence that the chant, “From the river to the sea,” is not a cry for freedom but a genocidal statement that demands the destruction of Israel. Khaled Mashal, Hamas’s former leader, was absolutely clear about what it meant. “Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and...
