This is just so gross. Imagine telling that to anyone let alone a 6 year old child. But that's the kind of hatred and attacks that Jewish Canadians suffer from on a daily basis. A new government report on antisemitism in schools details the very scary rise in Jew-hatred across

We all want to see the hostages returned, the humanitarian situation in Gaza resolved, and a ceasefire agreement reached. Tragically, negotiations collapsed today, with mediators concluding that while Israel agreed, Hamas was acting in bad faith. Despite these developments,

Biden Mideast negotiator Brett McGurk “recalled a Gaza deal nearly reached in May 2024. ‘On May 7, there was a deal on the table that gave Hamas 85% of everything it wanted that could have stopped the war the next day, but Hamas did not answer,’ he said… jpost.com/israel-news/de…

2/3 …until six weeks later, when it ‘fundamentally changed the whole thing.’ Back to the drawing board. Then on August 16, another deal was offered, this time one that ‘had about 95% of what Hamas wanted, and again they did not say yes, they did not answer.’

3/3 … “McGurk’s bottom line: ‘This war could have stopped at multiple times, if Hamas stopped the war and released hostages.’”

Thank you Senator Leo Housakos for shining a light on this disturbing story - along with your leadership on so many files critical to our national security. This is a direct threat to the safety and wellbeing of Canadians. It’s time for our government to take concrete steps to

Thank you Stewart Bell and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for shining a light on this. As an org founded by terror victims, we are appalled by this absurdly light sentence for someone convicted of such a crime. Our courts seem to care more about would-be terrorists than the safety of Canadians.

This further undermines public confidence in those entrusted with safeguarding Canadians. And it should underscore that no MP should ever advocate for someone CBSA confirmed to be a member of a terror group. This must not be treated as business-as-usual by our government.

Call to Action: 20 years ago, Israel left Gaza completely and handed the territory to the Palestinian leadership. Rather than build positive conditions for statehood, Hamas seized Gaza and built its own terrorist state. It brutalized Gazans. It massacred Israelis. And it

Today, the Prime Minister stated that Canada will pre-emptively recognize a Palestinian state. This is predicated on misplaced faith in vague commitments by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, notorious for his corruption, lack of democratic credibility, and funding of

Some very key points in this piece by Jamie Sarkonak. 3 years to order a criminal deported. 16 years to actually remove them. Unacceptable. We need comprehensive immigration reform - and real political resolve - to protect Canadians. nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-…

Pleased to see allies unite to denounce Iran's global threat. We now need to see words matched with meaningful global measures. As Canadians 🇨🇦, we're not immune from this danger - as seen in the recent Iranian assassination plot targeting Irwin Cotler. timesofisrael.com/14-western-all…

In the wake of Carney announcing Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state, Council for a Secure Canada’s CEO warns this move rewards violence, undermines democratic norms at home, and signals that extremism—not reform—shapes our foreign policy. nationalpost.com/opinion/sheryl…
