Nobody involved wants a Two State Solution at this point. The Israelis have agreed to it repeatedly, and the Arabs have turned it down repeatedly. Will the Israeli’s agree to it a fourth time to have it turned down again? Will the Palestinians accept anything less than the Jews being driven...

Good times…

Not today. Maybe when time permits.

More muddled east posturing. Iran & Qatar fund many on the Islam baddies list for the West…& others are try’n to get permission to get from Afghanistan to Gaza to fight against Israel (ISIS & some other…), etc…to cut across other countries to get to Gaza.

Mini-Budget update day tomorrow… In the federal government’s 2023 fall economic statement, to be presented by Chrystia Freeland in the House of Commons on Tuesday, we will undoubtedly be told of the Liberals’ efficacious fiscal management and the wonderful economic results their policies have...

An Iranian-American activist is accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of “empty words” and “cliché” over the federal government’s handling of alleged Iranian agents operating on Canadian soil. Masih Alinejad, a Brooklyn-based journalist and women’s rights activist, told The West Block host...

The finance minister has been relatively tight-lipped on the contents of the fall economic statement, but has repeatedly said measures will be geared toward addressing housing and affordability. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly renewed his government's focus on these two issues after the...

Oh yeah, the “Proportionality” of the whole (most recent) war between Hamas & Israel, with the Attack by Hamas on Israel on Oct 7th killing something like 1200-ish mostly civilians & kidnapping a bunch more….with Israel responding killing 10,000-ish so far mostly civilians and not turning Gaza...

That gun is what? 8 & 1/2 foot long?

Hamas is currently holding roughly 240 hostages. Many of the hostages are believed to be from foreign countries, including about a dozen Americans. Hamas released four hostages after earlier negotiations arbitrated by Qatar. Qatar is a key financial backer and ally of the Palestinian militant...

The University of Alberta says it has fired the director of its campus sexual assault centre after she signed an open letter calling reports of sexual violence during Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel an “unverified accusation.” University president Bill Flanagan issued a statement Saturday...

Canada, bulk discount for homicides, served concurrently. I’m betting 15 years, for good behaviour, released at 2/3’d time served minus double time for time served on remand before sentencing. This guy will be back on the street (maybe not legally driving, but that’s a different story) before...

Yeah, forgive me, but I’m looking at this war in the light of the last 43 days from October 7th, and not the last 43 years or 43 centuries, but that’s just me. Blah blah blah…

Yes, & potentially, in another decade, she might have served in the Israeli military so “totally justified” by Hamas (Hamas are Palestinians but not all Palestinians are Hamas) to kidnap her, and 10 month old babies, and 80yr old geriatrics, etc… When this was unfolding back on October 7th &...

On Sunday night, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante stated the obvious: “At this moment, the Jewish community is under attack in Montreal.” Bullets had been fired at two Jewish religious school doors in densely Jewish neighbourhoods last week (one school on two separate occasions), following...

OK, that’s his 10 shots. Did Hankison hit anyone with his 10 rounds or was he just firing blindly? Hankison was the only officer who fired his weapon the night of the Taylor raid to be criminally charged. Prosecutors determined that two other officers were justified in returning fire after...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that his government has “always exercised fiscal restraint,” as he prepares for the Liberals’ fall economic update next week that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is saying needs to include a plan to balance the budget, as well as relief from...

Patients, staff and displaced people left Gaza's largest hospital Saturday, health officials said, leaving behind only a skeleton crew to care for those too sick to move and Israeli forces who had taken over the facility earlier in the week. The exodus from Shifa Hospital in Gaza City came the...

But it’s trade between a province and other entities on a non-national level. It’s outside my limited knowledge base, but was curious to hear someone else explain how that would work, if trade deals were only on a national level...

Where would the Quebec/California carbon trade market deal fall into this statement? Apparently there’s also a Washington State/Nova Scotia Agreement that I’ve never even heard of before that slots into this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Climate_Initiative I ask not because it’s a “Got...
