After nearly two years of nonstop talk, practically since Trump took office, the midterms are finally here. If tonight brings a bombshell, expect another Blanche Report. *** In a nutshell here's what you need to know: ~Congress has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Republicans currently control both. ~If Republicans keep both: Trump has an easier path to pass his legislation, approve spending and get his judges and appointments confirmed. ~If Democrat

The mess in Israel is at the bottom of this blog. While it's on the long side, we encourage you to read it to get a smidgeon of understanding as to what is going to happen in Israel in the next few weeks or months. It is truly off the wall. The Canada–EU Summit is taking place in Montreal today and tomorrow. The last Canada-EU summit took place in Brussels, Belgium, on June 23, 2025. As noted, this time we are the host city. This is not a quebec/Canada issue. This is a simply

One has to wonder exactly how arrogant Mark Carney is. One also has to wonder exactly how much he despises both Israel and Netanyahu. One also has to ask who is advising him because clearly they have less than no knowledge of the middle east. Carney, along with a bunch of other antisemite 'leaders' signed on for a two-state 'solution' to the gaza/hamas issue. One of the elements that this agreement rested on was that Abbas of the PA would, after over 20 years in what was a 4

Of all the memes and graphics we have seen from France, the one above reflected a the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. What does looting, setting fires to historical buildings, ransacking luxury stores, burning cars and terrifying people have to do with freeing palestine? We'll tell you. Nothing. Zero. For decades muslims were encouraged to go to France and the rest of Europe. Obama invited them to the US with open arms for eight years. Justin opened the d

Our prime minister, Mark Carney, spent about 4 seconds before deciding to jump on the two-state solution train together with many other countries. Of course he did because he believes Israel is the aggressor, the big bad wolf and brought October 7 upon themselves. Yes, he believes that. Aside from the whole two-state solution bs, making Mahmoud Abbas as the one to help broker this deal shows that none of those who signed that agreement knows anything about the middle east. I

Yesterday, on the third year marking the unspeakable massacre of October 7 (we will not write anniversary), our illustrious prime minister Mark Carney reached yet another duh moment. He said, "There is more work to do to make Jewish Canadians feel safe and thrive in Canada." Really? Do you have to keep repeating yourself while doing nothing about it? We're tired of your empty rhetoric. In fact, he has been saying these same words in different variations for the past three yea

What happened on Flydubai flight 1073 could have only occurred because most of the passengers on the plane are Israelis. They are simply a different breed of people. The word snowflake is not in their vocabulary. First, the 7 open miracles that happened: ...The plane dropped 14,000 feet in about 1 minute. Another minute and there would have been no way back. ...The pilot and hero Captain Smit Machchhar managed to open the cockpit door before he collapsed. He was the one who

If this doesn't make your blood boil and if it doesn't show without a shred of a doubt both the contempt the Carney government has for Jews, Israel and our money and how jaw-droppingly stupid Anita Anand is, nothing will. Today Netanyahu is speaking at the United Nations. In order to get from Israel to New York, he has to fly over Canada. Anita Anand, who masquerades as our foreign minister, spent our money for her underlings to provide her with information relating to this p

It's not that the shul was shot up on Yom Kippur. Sadly, that was going to happen eventually. Why in a small town with one synagogue is nothing short of a miracle. What keeps on happening and is infuriating is that we get the same ridiculous, empty platitudes from politicians. Let's start with what that foolish Anthony Housefather put out: Praying for the police officer, whose heroism outside the Sons of Jacob synagogue in Belleville kept people safe. The shooter must face th

Let's start with this. By the time Carney is done running around the world making sure all his buddies give him standing ovations, approximately 40% of small businesses in Canada will be on the verge of collapsing because he can't make any kind of deal with Trump. And a good percentage of what's left over is looking to leave and set up shop down south. So while it’s very nice to jet from one international stage to another announcing massive deals that may not bear fruit for a

As we stand on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, it behooves us to take stock not only of ourselves, but of what is happening around us. And in Canada, that means confronting the ugly, as yet unchecked reality of antisemitism. We didn't have to look very far. Today’s National Post was filled with articles on the subject, a disturbing snapshot of just how deeply antisemitism has embedded itself in Canadian life. That, in itself, should tell us something. Canada is

We watched a very interesting interview done by the CBC with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. He disputed, very clearly and very succinctly, almost every reason Mark Carney gave for the trade talks blowing up. It is to be noted that we are far from fans of the CBC, but in this case, they got it right. Greer is of the same ilk as Carney. A suit. One of the backroom boys. Unflappable. Doesn't utter an extra word. And so, without theatrics or bluster, he directly contra

One of the things Trump said after Lutnick blew up the tariff talks was that quebec's Bill 96 language requirements affecting product labels, trademarks and commercial information are a“technical barrier to trade". Good morning America. Do politicians in quebec think that no one knows what's going on here? Trump is 100% correct. Carney's response was fake and he was lying through his teeth. He said Quebec's language laws are not an irritant to business. Who exactly does he th

***Facebook did not allow us to post this blog as we wrote about the rot in the CBC and they consider that going after the government. It's on LinkedIn and X.*** *** Both Canadian and Israeli Jews are very familiar with the CBC's stance on Israel and Canadian Jews. It is openly antisemitic on both counts. In case you don't know, the Canadian Broadcasting Company is Canada's national public broadcaster. In other words, what goes on the air carries some weight. They are known t

In the grand scheme of things, the province of quebec is less than a pimple on a horse's behind. The person running for the separatist party in quebec, Mr. Plamondon, is an egostitical, arrogant moron. Does he think for a millisecond that holding a referendum for quebec to separate from the rest of Canada is good for anything except crowning himself as king? We'll tell you. It's not and with G-d's help will never happen. Even suggesting it is an exercise in breathtaking arro

The consul general of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada, Idit Shamir is one very smart, very quick Israeli. First read what our idiot of a foreign minister posted then...relish Idit's response. ...Canada condemns the ongoing violence in the West Bank. The expansion of settlements in the West Bank must stop. These settlements are illegal under international law and undermine prospects for peace, security and stability. Now enjoy this response: Israel condemns the ongoing vi

Finally we are not the lone voice in saying that the firebombing of the kosher restaurant Noam in Montreal may not be antisemitism and it is the owners themselves who are saying this. Speculating without confirmed facts serves no purpose. Here is what the restaurant manager said: “We are trying to be guided by truth rather than fear … We know people are scared and feel the inarguable tear in the social fabric of the Montreal Jewish community, but until we know that this is

The question still remains whether or not the firebombing of Noam, the beloved kosher restaurant in Montreal, was an act of antisemitism or something else. One thing is certain. After watching the video of the person who set the fire, he knew exactly what he was doing. The accelerant was placed perfectly so that the instant it was lit, the fire literally exploded, totally engulfing the restaurant in less than a minute. It was a hit job, but by who? Someone with a grudge or ye

We read the op-ed piece by Chrystia Freeland in the NY Times and what her approach would be to Trump's tarrifs. She believes if you stand up to a bully, they back down. Mark Carney, who is running the country believes the exact opposite. He believes the tactic of ignoring Trump will work much better, ergo we are like mushrooms, being kept entirely in the dark when it comes to the negotiations. And now these two opposite modes of dealing with Trump are being battled out pu

A few months ago, we wrote about Pierre Poilievre and how we felt he was never going to be able to beat Carney in an election. We received major pushback from those who very rightly said that from October 7 until the present day, Poilievre has supported the Jews in Canada, often the lone voice to do so. Unlike Carney who has basically thrown us under the bus. Given that, we are going to reveal the elephant in the room: Yes, he supports the Jews in Canada but what good has it
