Canada has stopped issuing export permits to companies looking to sell military equipment to Israel.
A source says that Mélanie Joly’s office has issued instructions to staff at Global Affairs Canada to delay issuing permits that are required for weapons, firearms and components that could have a military use.
Madame Joly has repeatedly expressed concerns about Israel’s conduct in Gaza, particularly with regard to the impending assault on Rafah near the Egyptian border. She said the Israeli government’s demand that the population move again is “unacceptable, because they have nowhere to go and called for a “sustainable ceasefire” and a hostage deal.
Here's a geography lesson for Madame Joly: Israel is bordered by Lebanon to the north, Syria and Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the south. That's four arab countries that can take in the 'poor palestinians' in rafah. Where are they? Why aren't they taking their bros in?
Here's the deal: No deal unless every single hostage - men, women, children and babies are released.
Neither she nor Justin have any right to say a word about Israel until they see the IDF video then go visit the kibbutzim and Nova Festival massacre scene. And even then with their combined brains, it's sketchy. It is 'unacceptable' that Israel go into Rafah? Just Shut up.
Arabs living in Rafah have nowhere to go because no arab country will take them in. We ask again - why is this Israel's problem? This is an arab problem. Israel is ridding the world of vermin called hamas and they will do what they must to get the job done.
As for the rest of the world - they better pray Israel is successful or hama's tentacles will reach way further than Israel.
And we will not stop saying this: How is Anthony Housefather - a Jew - staying in this party?
No less than the rector of the Université de Montréal Daniel Jutras - a pure laine quebecer - came out and said that Legault's pretend, completely false issue with international students polluting the french language in downtown Montreal is a total crock and harming the city.
Jutras said in La Presse that students from the rest of Canada aren’t making Montreal less French, and the decision to target Concordia and McGill won’t help French universities much.
'Higher Education' Minister Pascale Déry who is in bed with both Legault and French Language Minister Jean-François Roberge said - as the puppeteer of Legault that the tuition - increase will help boost funding for French universities and reduce the number of non-French-speakers in Montreal’s post-secondary institutions.
Roberge complained that too much English is being spoken on the streets of Montreal, with non-French-speaking university students partly to blame.
All false. Fake. Not true. Made up. All these idiotin do is make sure less and less companies come to Quebec, less students come to quebec, less money is spent in stores, restaurants, bars, clubs etc.
And then, as we said, they will leave office, get cushy jobs in the private sector and leave the rest of us to deal with the mess they made.
You can be very sure that if the rector of the University of Montreal is speaking out, legault is not happy.
As for Dery, she waits for instructions on how to behave and what to say from legault. Remember, when she leaves his lap she should not be welcome in Montreal's Jewish community. She's an informer.
Donna Kahérakwas Goodleaf is the Director of Decolonizing Curriculum and Pedagogy at Concordia University’s Centre for Teaching and Learning.
Let's start with this is the mother-of-all-nonsensical titles. Do more words in her title mean she gets more money? Seriously?
And in case you didn't figure it out, she is indigenous, inuit and uber-hyper-sensitive about who goes to Concordia and who she is. How sensitive?
She is giving Concordia university a new five-year strategic plan to 'decolonize' and 'indigenize' its entire curriculum and pedagogy.
What does decolonizing and indigenize mean? Here ya go:
Concordia is located on land that was once the Six Nations Confederacy and according to this genius, anyone learning on that land and not learning according to her version of what it means to be indigenous and understand that the land was stolen doesn't belong there.
But...Montreal and buildings in the city like Concordia are now part of Quebec, a province within a country called Canada, which was confederated in 1867 under laws that have governed society for the past 157 years. Clear? Blather according to Kahérakwas Goodleaf.
Her new plan for Concordia draws upon the “principles embodied in the Two Row Wampum Belt … an ethical framework for how colonial-settler governments are to conduct themselves while living in the land of the Rotinonhsión:ni — more commonly known as the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy.”
In other words, Concordia students need to start talking, dressing and acting like people from the Wampum Belt - with feathers and skins for clothing. It goes without saying that they have to give up their dorms and sleep in teepees.
Goodleaf' wants to “create a path where everyone is equal and no worldview is superior." Really?
Here's a headline: The world is not equal. There are good guys and bad guys. Good swimmers and bad swimmers, tall people and short people, skinny people and fat people.
In what world does this indigenous woman live? We suggest she move to the very, very far north, build an igloo, harpoon a walrus and live off its meat and blubber. Then she will feel much more at home than in Concordia where clearly she is uncomfortable. Or, buy a tent, pitch it in front of Concordia and live there.
Thousands of people in the USA and Canada are facing major disruptions to their service as several providers have gone down.
Is someone testing the system to see if they can really shut it down or is it simply a coincidence?
AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile users reported early Thursday that they are having network issues in both countries.
Service disruptions were reported in New York, Boston, Washington, Montreal, Honolulu, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco.
The carrier has more than 240 million subscribers, the country's largest. On their website, AT&T have also said they are 'experiencing long hold times' and have apologized for the inconvenience. Nationwide, 911 operators have warned that the outage has impacted their ability to take calls.
San Francisco Fire Department issued a statement saying they had been made aware of the issue and urged citizens to use try calling from a landline. Landline? Full disclosure: We still have a landline and plan on keeping it exactly for this reason.
Power failures and downed wireless communication do not affect our landline. Just saying.
Good Shabbos,
We'll talk...
