Put It Where the Sun Don't Shine...Quebec Suddenly Woke Up?...Time for Poilievre to Become Prime Minister...She's Baaack...

Can we talk? What business is it of the provincial government if private Jewish days schools pay to bring in Israeli soldiers to speak to their students?

We'll tell you. It's none of their damn business. Nor should the only English radio station gleefully put it as the first story in their news cycle.

Last we looked, we live in a democracy.

And no, much as the government wants it to happen, the majority of the population is not secular. People have free choice to follow a religion which keeps them grounded, which keeps their families closer and which makes their communities better places to live.

Jewish people especially take care of their own. And that goes as far as Israel. So when Israeli's are in pain, Jews the world over are in pain. That is something very foreign to this quebec government. For them, it's every man for himself, which studies have found is mentally unhealthy.

So our response to the government making Jewish day schools answer to them for bringing in Israeli soldiers to speak to their students is this: Put it where the sun don't shine.

As for the English radio station putting this item front and center in their news cycle, they are on the wrong side of history and one day they wake up and find out.

One has to wonder where the quebec government has been all these years. From what we are reading today, it sounds like they were living under a rock.

It has suddenly occurred to them that constantly talking about a referendum to separate quebec from the rest of Canada is not good for the economy. Good morning.

All their constant chatter of will there be a referendum or won't there be a referundum is that quebec is becoming a dangerous place to invest money.

And that means people with money don't even consider looking here. And THAT means as they finally woke up and said, 'the impact of uncertainty with respect to a referendum is approximately give basis points per year, which is the difference between 4% and 4.05% percent interest rates.'

So while this does not translate to a lot of money, it does translate to companies not expanding and to other companies who might have come here, saying never mind, that place is too unstable.

We are guessing that the people in the 'regions' who vote in separatist parties are unaffected by this because we are also guessing many of them live on government assistance.

Here's a headline which someone should translate into French and send to them:

If quebec ever did separate they would be in for a very rude awakening as we receive, yearly - get this - $29.3 billion in transfer payments from Ottawa which is in Canada. And you can be very certain the ROC - the rest of Canada - would be very happy to stop those payments and take that money for themselves.

So the people in the regions better wake up sooner than later or they will find themselves with a lot less money if, G-d forbid, a referendum was ever successful. And unless everybody stops talking about it, we will all be just a little less in the economic loop, which slowly but surely, filters into every strata of our lives.

Every year, Newsweek puts out a list of the best hospitals in the world. The Mayo Clinic came in first. Guess who came in second? The Toronto General Hospital.

Quebec's hospitals? The Jewish General Hospital dropped from 130 in 2025 to 133, and the CHUM dropped from 92 to 158.

Now read what Legault said today about the medical specialists, with whom he is at war, likely before seeing this disastrous list:

“Enough! Medical specialists, who work full time, earn on average $550,000 a year. We are offering an increase of 11 per cent. That means $600,000 a year."

It appears he is stupidly not done with going after the doctors who, despite fighting with the government for over a year, have graciously stayed here. It is his way of deflecting the real issues.

Instead of spending money on what is important like hospitals, schools, hydro infrastructure, he threw away money on the roof of the ridiculous Big O, he failed to know that way over a billion dollars was spent to revamp the licence bureau website which still does not work properly and he spent billions going atfer doctors, nurses, immigrants, people who say hi, buses who put Go Habs Go on their signs.

While he does somewhat support the Jews (until today), the rest of his time as leader has been dismal at best, a total disaster at worst.

And this fighting with doctors? That could well be the most foolish thing he has done and won't stop.

The more somebody huffs and puffs like he does, the more guilty he is. His arrogance does not hide the fact that he is an incompetent leader and threw away other people's money like it was water.

Now we are all going to pay for what he has done in the past 8 years. Doctors leaving, specialists leaving, nurses leaving. What we cannot fathom is how the regions kept voting for him while losing all their doctors. It boggles the mind.

We will again remind you that within about 8 months he will be gone and we will be left holding the bag. He will walk away like nothing happened.

And to those who believe we should not be going after him because he's nice to the Jews - well, now he's not nice to the Jews. Just like everyone else.

We will not placate nor rely on people like Legault because in the end, as we are seeing today, he stuck it to us anyway.

Hillary Clinton was forced to testify in front of the committee dealing with Epstein. She said she never met Epstein. She was indignant that she even had to come and testify.

Can we talk? While this Epstein scandal is far reaching, it reminds us of the me-too movement. People got caught up just because their name was mentioned in an email.

When it comes to the Clintons however, while she may never have met him, you can bet your bottom dollar that her beloved Bill was front and center, deeply involved with Epstein. And we will leave it to your imagination to figure out how deeply.

One thing about the Clintons is that they always manage to squirm out of 'things'. There have been more than one deaths and they demolished and ruined Monica Lewinsky and other women Bill was, shall we say, overly friendly with.

Most likely we will never know the real story of Epstein and you can be very sure that it will keep going as long as Trump is in the Oval office because he is the main target.

Those two wrote the book on do-you-know-who-I-am.

Finally, at long last, Pierre Poilievre is showing us why he needs to be prime minister. It took a while, but he finally got there.

The speech to the Economic Club of Toronto was long, but here are a few salient points. We encourage you to read this. It is not double talk. It is honest, understable and clear. Unlike Carney who, when he does lower himself to speak to us, does so with great disdain and arrogance speaking in economic, woke talking points.

...And his 51st state talk is wrong. It goes without saying: 

There is zero chance of Canada ever becoming part of the United States.  Canada is our country.  The country we love–just as Americans love theirs. 

...Canada and the United States have built one of the most successful economic and  security partnerships the world has ever known. That partnership remains profoundly in  the interests of both countries. 

...It is also important to distinguish governments from peoples. 

...Politicians come and go. The people remain. The miner in Appalachia, the energy  worker in Texas, the engineer in California do not wake up each day dreaming about  ways to stick it to Canadians. The American people are not our adversaries.

...China is not a substitute for the United States.  Canada should pursue diversified trade and global engagement. Conservatives stand in  favour of a full free trade agreement with India and deeper ties with others.  

But diversification must be grounded in realism. Not all partners are interchangeable. 

The Prime Minister’s Davos Speech proclaimed a new middle-power alliance. We  already have that. 

...Canada already has free trade agreements with at least 50 countries–many of them  middle powers. We should look to deepen those agreements, but their markets are  largely already open to us. 

But our problem is not that these countries block our products from coming IN but that  our own government blocks our products from getting OUT. 

...The reality is that some of the worst tariffs imposed on Canada today are those imposed  by the government here.

Slow permits, changing rules, high taxes, and outright bans on  shipping oil from B.C.’s northern coast. We have the second slowest building permits in  the OECD. It takes 19 years to approve a mine. None of that has changed in the last  year.  

We suggest. you google his speech and read it in its enterity. He knows what he's talking about and is not running around the world like Carney - 15 trips and counting, telling us nothing about what he is really doing. He treats us like children on a need to know basis and clearly, according to Carney, we don't need to know.

Good Shabbos

We'll talk...
