    Syria... is next.

    Cue the CNN-ish intense music: Israel says it is not seeking conflict with the new authorities in Syria, but its jets have been bombing targets across the country over the past three days to ensure Syrian military equipment does not fall into hostile hands. Regional security sources and...

    Syria... is next.

    ISIS are (sorry, is) Rebels, so all Rebels must be ISIS? Is that the argument? Like Montreal Steak Spice is spice, so all Spice must be Montreal Steak Spice? It’s late & I’m off.

    Syria... is next.

    Your link above, first paragraph: Israel has been secretly providing aid to Syrian rebels in the Golan Heights for years with the goal of maintaining a buffer zone of friendly forces to keep ISIS and forces aligned with Iran at bay, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Anyway, it’s...

    Syria... is next.

    Ok, much has changed in Syria right now. Who in Syria is Israel backing now? I can see the Americans are backing Kurds in the north & some other group on the eastern edge of Syria, but at this point, all I can find is that the Israeli’s are bombing the shit out of any stock pile they can find, &...

    Syria... is next.

    Ok, please feel free to post a link to show exactly which Islamic Jihadist group or faction in Syria that Israel is supporting or endorsing “currently”, because I’ve looked and I can’t find something to support what you’re stating repeatedly. It doesn’t mean it’s not happening, but it does mean...

    Syria... is next.

    Which ISIS? Are they the same ISIS (remnants) in the grey blobs that the Americans also bombed the shit out of in the last day or two, while the Israelis are bombing any other stockpile of weaponry that they can, regardless of who controls it? Are you saying that because Israelis fought...

    Syria... is next.

    Below these four gray bean looking blobs are the remnants of ISIS. …& it sounds like Hezbollah is cut off & retreated from Syria into Lebanon (the white blob above Israel and west of Syria). There’s the ISIS remnants below: And below Russia is still distracted by Ukraine: Then this dude...

    Syria... is next.

    Have they (?) or have all those groups played musical chairs of allegiances and we both need to watch the above video again. I literally had to Google this below: …& I’m no wiser. Israel stepped on the Iranian proxy Hezbollah (that much I do know) in retaliation for over a year of missile and...

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

    Last week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre challenged Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to table her fall economic statement after she accused him of delaying the process. On Monday, Freeland finally announced that the statement would be revealed on Dec. 16. Poilievre’s comments came...

    Canada Post Strike

    After a few days of back-and-forth proposals, the apparent progress to end a strike by 55,000 workers at Canada Post seems to have ground to a halt. By midday Monday, neither side would confirm whether the Canadian Union of Postal Workers had officially responded to the company's latest offer...

    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    The Liberals are set to face a third Conservative non-confidence vote today, but the government is likely to survive with the support of the NDP. http://apple.news/A_4v8U-vHRReOMJcq5xrXuA

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Assault rifles are already illegal in Canada, and have been for quite some time. An actual assault rifle generally comes with automatic firing and a large-capacity magazine – neither of which are allowed. Long before Justin Trudeau ever became prime minister, rifles were limited to five rounds...

    Refugee/Migrant Crisis

    There were 87,000 more unemployed Canadians in November than in October and 276,000 more unemployed in November 2024 than in November 2023. Canada added just over 329,000 jobs in the past 12 months. So, how come unemployment has risen so sharply? Because over the same year, the federal Liberals...

    Iranically Iran, Middle East’s Karen…

    Syrian rebels declared they had ousted President Bashar al-Assad after seizing control of Damascus on Sunday, forcing him to flee and ending his family's decades of autocratic rule after more than 13 years of civil war. In a seismic moment for the Middle East, the Islamist rebels also dealt a...
