Quebec's Bureaucrats Are a Few Flakes Short...Caution if you are Going to Milan...Trump Trumped Carney...

The bureaucrats who run the province of Quebec are either very short on brains or they are very short on brains.

The new train called the REM which loosely translated means Metropolitan Express Network is anything but express. In fact, it is turning out to be so unreliable and now dangerous, that we are guessing people are going to stop using it.

This past Friday a train lost power in the middle of two stations, a very common occurance. According to their media spokesperson, passengers were evacuated to another train, making it sound like things went smoothly and were under control. The reality on the ground was vastly different.

According to one passenger, they were stuck on the tracks for almost an hour and a half in stifling heat. And, as the train is electric guess what? When the train stops so does the electricity, leaving passengers in a train with no air conditioning and windows that cannot open, ergo no air.

Two women (isn't it always women who save the day?) pried open the doors of one of the cars only to receive a message from the 'control tower' saying not to do that as it is dangerous. She told them not breathing is also dangerous. Good for her.

When another train finally did arrive to evacuate passengers, there were no instructions or anyone to help. According to one passenger, “People had to climb up the train. I had to push elderly people on. People were falling down. A woman had a panic attack and started crying."

Welcome to Quebec where some genius thought that getting this express train made in India where there is no winter was a good idea. It is now obvious that even summer is an issue for these trains.

Be very careful if you are going to Milan. Very careful.

An anonymous online form is urging the public to report the presence of Israeli citizens and Italian Jews staying in Italian hotels and other tourist accommodations.

The Italian paper La Repubblica, said subsequent pages of the form asked respondents to report on locations where Jewish or Israeli visitors were seen.

This is serious stuff, especially if you are Israeli. We were in the company of Israeli's not long ago and their parents told their children not to speak Hebrew in public. Is that normal?

How about this one: Don't speak arabic in public or maybe someone will target you.

Or how about this: The Italian government should find out who is puttting up those forms and arrest them. No doubt they are coming from Iran or Saudi Arabia routed around the world to avoid detection. In the end however, they can be found.

We are on the Harley Finkelstein page: We are not backing down, we are not cowering, we are not curling up in a corner. We will live our lives as Jews and everybody else can suck it up.

In case you were not sure if Carney sold Canadians a bill of goods that only he is able to deal with Donald Trump, perhaps what you will read below will sway your thinking.

Before we continue, we must say that his silence, his not sharing information with Canadians when Trump issues his edicts is the absolute height of arrogance. Without saying a word he telling us that we are all just too stupid to understand what is really going on. He will 'take care of you'.

Which, as anyone can see, is not happening.

Yesterday, Trump announced yet another 50% tariff on Canada because of our alcohol bans, dairy quotas and other things. We're not particularly interested in the bourbon ban to the US. The dairy ban? Trump, along with most Canadians have had enough of the dairy supply management system, which protects farmers.

Before we launch into what this means, we have one question:

Why didn't the government protect Canada's textile industry in the 1990s when China began flooding the market with cheaper goods? Canadian manufacturers couldn't compete, and an entire industry was eventually decimated.

Here's what is ticking off Trump:

Canada limits the amount of foreign dairy that can enter the country through tariff-rate quotas. Which means cheese from places like Wisconsin or Vermont are heavily taxed, like 200%, if they can come into Canada at all.

This 'protects' Canadian farmers from being undercut by lower-priced foreign dairy. It also accounts for the Canadian consumer paying crazy prices for dairy products because there is no competition.

Carney is unable to deal with Trump. Period. Running around the world looking for trade deals that may or may not materialize in the next 20 or so years is a waste of time and your hard earned tax dollars.

Carney is a suit masquerading as a prime minister put into place to advance the agenda of those who put him into power. Nothing to do with the 'little people'.

New York's mayor Mamdani fashions himself a dictator rather than a mayor. He has decided that Netanyahu is a war criminal as per the international criminal court and as such, if he comes to NY for the UN general assembly in September he will arrest him. Really now?

For starters, the ICC has zero jursidication in the US. None. Mamdani is a palestinian sympathizer along with being an anarchist and hating America. Good luck to those who put this jerk into power.

Mercifully, Trump trumped him and said “Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested while in the United States of America.”

Mamdani is getting his much of his information from his wife who is a terrorist sympathizer. She was forced to delete her disgusting posts when her husband became mayor of NY but you can be certain that behind the scenes she is fully in support of the slaughter of Jews on October 7 and the animals who perpetrated the attack as well as the arrest of Netanyahu.

To all those running away from where they live because they think the grass is greener elsewhere, think again, especially if you are running to Florida.

Aside from being insanely hot from May until October, for the first time ever, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area has surpassed the New York City metro area in cost of living.

There is no doubt this migration began during the pandemic, when New York imposed some of the country's most restrictive, draconian COVID-19 measures while Florida was, by comparison, living much closer to normal. That marked the start of the steady parade south, a migration that has since helped drive Florida home prices up by roughly 79%.

Coupled with Mamdani's election and the political turmoil leading up to it, the incentive to leave New York has only grown. People may not be fleeing in droves, but they certainly aren't trickling out either.

Along with rising housing costs, insurance, private-school tuition, restaurant prices, and other everyday expenses are responsible for the sharp jump everyday expenses.

So if you are thinking to run away from where you live and uprooting your entire family, it would be wise to do your homework.

We'll talk...
