Today, downtown Ottawa. No more euphemisms, they are openly promoting terrorism and violence towards Jews. This is intolerable and it is time for Canadians to speak up.
Margaret Thatcher once said “the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
Finance Min. Chrystia Freeland looks hell-bent on putting that theory to the test.

In Canada you can get dragged before a Human Rights Tribunal for saying men aren't women but it's totally cool to call for extinction of Jews in Israel.

Where is the antisemitism in this? People are getting tired of this broad definition that is only meant to protect Israel, hides its crimes and silence anti-genocide voices. You are doing no service to the victims of the Holocaust by continuing to play this dirty game.
Justin Trudeau, who hasn’t hesitated to play armchair quarterback throughout Israel’s war in Gaza, is now actively helping Hamas mount its last-stand defence against an IDF that sits on the one-yard line.

and first ever exclusive report. Read about how Canada could play a positive role (for a change) in the next phase of the war in Gaza:
ppl need to realize that the only reason we are taught that Nazis are bad, is only bc Nazi Germany threatened the other empires of Europe. It was never about ideology, or protecting minorities, it was about the fact that Germany stepped out of the fold of western expectations.
With Canada itself no stranger to secessionist violence, the NDP is playing a dangerous—and, frankly, irresponsible—game by endorsing Hamas’s violent path to securing a Palestinian state.
