Oh, these are “current”-ish populations, I’m assuming, where the number of Palestinian Refugees has expanded over the last 75 years by 1000% from its original 700,000 compared to the 850,000 Jews expelled from other countries in the Middle East at the same time (but they don’t fit the...

Uhm…no. About 1/2 (so 700,000-ish Muslim Arabs) left Israel about 1948, while the other 1/2 didn’t….& the half that left is still a smaller number than the number of Jews expelled from all the other surrounding nations in the same time frame, but you don’t mention those or why they also left...

Analysts are looking to the byelection in Manitoba that will also be held Monday as an indication of the strength of the NDP and its leader Jagmeet Singh. The NDP has won ten of the last 11 elections in Winnipeg’s Elmwood-Transcona riding with the Conservatives taking the other. In the Montreal...

Maybe it’s a Muslim thing? Israel is only 17% Muslim instead of 90-100% Muslim, so that might be a factor, but you could always ask Iran who’s behind almost (if not all) the active players in the “lob stuff at Israel” circlejerk plus other militant instabilities throughout the region...

In Canada, calls to ban “military-style” (?) weapons started in the immediate aftermath of the Polytechnique massacre on December 6, 1989 — almost 35 years ago. Ottawa launched the buyback program in 2020 shortly after the mass shooting in Portapique, Nova Scotia, which left 22 people dead…with...

Despite the defence department spending more than $34.8 million on new sleeping bags, the Canadian Army asked late last year that hundreds of soldiers headed to a joint northern exercise in Alaska with the Americans be issued with old, 1960s-vintage bedrolls. Troops who had used the recently...

The federal government is now seeking to spread its problem around the country. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said this week the feds want to move thousands of refugee claimants in Ontario and Quebec around the country. “Alberta’s government is opposed to...

Does the "right to defend itself" include long range Missile attacks into Russian territory? On how many fronts is Israel having to defend themselves on at this point? Has Hezbollah been lobbing missiles and rockets into Israel since October 8th 2023 from the Vatican or London while being...

“Israel appreciates the support of the overwhelming majority of Canadians in our just war against Hamas – an Iranian-backed genocidal terrorist organization in Gaza,” he said using the official X account of the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel. http://www.youtube.com/shorts/7YzXpy9dNYo...

Well, at the very most, we’re 13 months away from the next federal election, and hopefully sooner. Justin Trudeau’s Heritage Minister, Pascale St-Onge says Canadians love CBC and it’s only Pierre Poilievre who doesn’t like it. But CBC’s ratings, which have been falling for years, tell a very...

It must be disheartening to be David Eby and the B.C. NDP these days. Justin Trudeau is sending 22,000 asylum seekers to B.C. in the midst of a housing crisis and Jagmeet Singh has just announced he (probably) wants to axe the carbon tax. How B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad managed to get...

Every police officer in Canada knows that laying a simple drug possession charge is a symbolic, hopeless endeavour because all federal Crown prosecutors, since 2020, have effectively been instructed to throw those charges directly into the trash. (A separate, more expansive decriminalization...

Like the Liberals, the NDP has sought to acknowledge two realities: it has denounced antisemitism, condemned Hamas’s “horrifying” Oct. 7 attacks, and frequently called for the safe release of all Israeli hostages. But unlike other major federal parties, the New Democrats have become the primary...

Earlier Thursday, federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party is coming up with a climate plan that may scrap the policy altogether if the party forms government…which is easy to do when you know that you will never form government, and would be hard-pressed to even be the opposition, & not...

Maybe, & maybe not. First the war has to end though, or at least this latest round of it. What will it really take for that to happen? I thought it was more like 700,000 & not 550,000?

Until after this war is over, or this round of it anyway that started Oct 7th. Once it’s over so is he I’m assuming. As long as Hamas/Islamic Jihad/Etc…are holding hostages from October 7th, even though only 40-50/100 are alive at this point, and those ringleaders that initiated it are still...

By questioning the value of the carbon tax, Singh is breaking away from the Trudeau government’s mantra that it is the most economical and efficient way to reduce emissions and that the rebate system puts more money into the pockets of working people than they pay in carbon taxes, a view shared...

I think that’s an “after the war” thing with respect to changes in Israeli leadership. What about actually ending it within the next year or less?
