O Canada, Where Have You Gone?...A Message to Climate Changers & 'International Women's Day'...Don Cherry...

The Canada we knew is slowly but surely fading away. Especially in Toronto and to a minutely lesser extent, Montreal.


Olivia Chow, Toronto's Asian mayor is an outright antisemite. She doesn't like Jews and doesn't care who knows or what anyone thinks about it. That is if you can understand a word of what she is saying when she decides to grace people with her word salads.


She will not lift a finger to stop any 'protests' which are nothing more than Jew-hating paid radicals gathered together with one agenda: to scare the Jews. She ignores the shootings at synagogues. She allows openly antisemitic signs to be proudly carried at protests.


The rest of Canada is not much better. Now, here are a few examples of what our “illustrious” prime minister, Mark Carney, has done for Jews in Canada:


...He called antisemitism “disturbing and intolerable.” And what did he do about it? Nada.

...He condemned shootings at Toronto-area synagogues as “criminal antisemitic assaults.” Then what?

...He acknowledged that Jews in Canada “no longer feel safe” and left it at that.

...He talks about action. Where is it?

...He pushes a two-state framework while Jews are still under threat at home. How brave.

...He signals moral outrage abroad, but offers little reassurance to Jews here. Bingo.


Nothing but talk and not an ounce of backbone. And why? Because the muslim number of votes is much greater than the Jewish numbers. We're on our own.


The big, rather difficult question is how long will we be able to call this place home? Will we have to leave, as our ancestors did over and over and over again?




Update: This is what we read today: Canada No Longer Feels Safe for Jews...


Last month in Toronto, at one of the largest synagogues in North America, I stood in the back of a dimly lit auditorium and listened to a law expert speak at length about Israel, antisemitism, and threats to Jewish life in Canada.


To attend the event (in the synagogue), guests had to pass through a police checkpoint, wait in freezing temperatures to get an entry badge, and then go through metal detectors. The venue was teeming with security both inside and out.


This has become the norm in Canada.


Perhaps someone should be sending this to Mr. Carney. It might and we emphasis might move the dial a millimeter.



The entire media world is pounding on Trump that he didn't know what he was doing by killing the most vile leader in the world. That he has no plan for this war and clearly no end game.


Now read this: Al Jazeera is now running the headline "The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working."


Professor Muhanad Seloom has worked for the US Department of State and advised defence and intelligence agencies in multiple countries. He has no interest in cheerleading for war.


"I have spent my academic career studying how states authorise the use of force through intelligence institutions, and what I see in the current campaign is a recognisable military operation proceeding through identifiable phases against an adversary whose capacity to project power is collapsing in real time."


However, more interesting than the professor's words is the simple fact that Al Jazeera now feels free to publish this sort of thing, that Qatar is tentatively dipping a toe into this new narrative. In other words, that Qatar now calculates that the war might just succeed.



Some people, who happen to be conservatives, have put Don Cherry's name in for the Order of Canada award. That put the liberal, woke, tree-hugger-save-the-whale snowflakes into a tailspin. Get a grip people.


We present one of his more truthful Cherryisms:


He said it was inappropriate for women reporters to be in the dressing room while players were undressed, and that interviews should happen outside the room instead. People wouldn’t accept men going into women’s locker rooms, so why the reverse?


Obviously liberal woke nudniks are not going to like what he said. They believe that men who decide to identify as women should not only be in the women's locker room, but they should be allowed to go up against them in sports.


Cherry was 110% correct. Athletes, as the rest of us, need and want boundaries.


We're not quite sure if Cherry deserves the order of Canada, but he sure deserves some kind of award. He is a colorful, fun, real commentator who was unfairly pushed off the air way before he was ready to go.



Although this is a pretty dry subject, it is very much in the news these days. The NATO budget is very complex. We broke it down so even we could understand the numbers.


When people say the U.S. pays 65–70% of NATO's costs, they mean the U.S. spends far more on its own military than other NATO countries and that spending supports NATO capability.


So, the U.S. defense budget is $850+ billion and the entire rest of NATO combined is much lower. So the U.S. makes up about 2/3 of total NATO military power spending.


Plus...What the U.S. actually provides because of its size most of NATO’s aircraft carriers, a huge chunk of air power & logistics, advanced systems (missile defense, intelligence, satellites) and rapid deployment capability.


As for payment, each country should spend 2% of their GDP on defense. In reality, the U.S. spends ~3–3.5%.


So Trump asked NATO to help him open the Strait of Hormuz.


Most of the countries refused which sent Trump into a tizzy. He scolded the NATO allies for their lack of action in the war against Iran, calling the military alliance’s resistance to getting involved in the conflict a “very foolish mistake.”


Indeed it is foolish, very short-sighted and will come back to bite them if and when the US exits NATO.


And then we had to watch our foolish foreign minister Anita Anand who cannot seem to talk faster than .0001 speed, say yet again that Canada was not asked or told about the war.

Now she's saying nanni, nanni pooh, pooh. We're not going to help you.


Seriously? Here's a headline for Madame Anand: Canadians with even half a brain know you are full of it. Up to your eyeballs. Trump should have asked or told Canada about going after Iran? Again, to Trump we are, pardon the expression, a wart on a donkey's ass.


And speaking of eyeballs, we read an interesting article about the Five Eyes which is what you ask?


It is one of the most powerful intelligence-sharing alliances in the world made up of a group of five English-speaking countries that cooperate closely on spying, surveillance, and security.


The current members are the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It appears Trump wants Canada out. Let's see what happens with this one.




Last week Montreal was supposed to have the mother of all ice storms. Turned out to be a nothingburger. Today, when they should have issued one of their orange warnings, we got crickets until half the province lost power due to the insane winds.


Can we talk?


They can’t get a 12-hour forecast right but they’re absolutely certain about the next 50 years.

The ice is gone, the forests are dying, disaster is imminent any minute now. Strange how the end of the world keeps getting rescheduled.



Last week was International Women’s Day. Of all the self-congratulatory organizations we hear about, including the United Nations, this one ranks in the top three for sheer hypocrisy.


After October 7, when sexual violence was used as a weapon against Jewish women, the silence from International Women’s Day advocates was deafening. Not a word. Not a statement. Nothing. Crickets. As if Israeli victims don’t count.


An organization that claims to stand for all women, but goes quiet when it’s inconvenient, isn’t principled, it’s selective. And selective outrage isn’t advocacy. It’s cowardice.


Don't support them and don't send them a penny of your money. They are total hypocrites.


We'll talk...
