In my final question of 2023 to the Trudeau govt, I asked for 🇨🇦 to review the $10M recently pledged to #UNRWA. Instead of treating evidence of misuse of intl aid & taxpayer dollars with the seriousness it deserves, @HonAhmedHussen attacks me personally. I hope he reviews this:
Five days ago, we exposed a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza replete with praise of the Hamas massacre of October 7th. UNRWA cast doubt that they work for them. The UN spox disparaged us. This 🧵 will show how the group admins and members are indeed part of UNRWA.

The #freedoms we enjoy today did not come free. Generations of brave 🇨🇦 veterans made the ultimate #sacrifice so we can be free, including: — 66,755 in WW1 — 42,042 in WW2 — 516 in the Korean War — 158 in the Afghanistan War Today, #WeRememberThem. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay – at Toronto, Ontario

This perfectly sums up why I think we should stand with Israel. Nothing to do with Biblical prophecy or racial disputes. All who love humanity should stand with Western Civilization.

I am an avid hunter/fisherman and I will always be. For the people who are asking me why I have my son with me, I am teaching him a very important life lesson… the beef, venison, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables all come from somewhere, not just the grocery store.

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible. 2020: Silence is violence. 2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding. ———————— 2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities. 2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter. ———————— 2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression. 2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship. ———————— 2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing. 2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.” ———————— 2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. 2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture. ———————— 2020: Believe all women. 2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”? ———————— 2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist. 2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters. ———————— 2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence. 2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate. ———————— 2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned. 2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.

My heart aches for Jewish communities across the Western World, having to watch while thousands take to the streets to celebrate terrorism and antisemitism. So many of us, who are not Jewish, stand with them. #NeverAgainIsNow

In Ontario, public sector nurses are quitting their positions to join private nursing agencies mostly for more hourly pay and job flexibility despite the lack of pension and benefits. This is exactly how Doug Ford planned out his privatization scheme - 1. He froze public sector nurses' wages for years until a court deemed it unconstitutional. 2. He made staff nursing positions less appealing, causing public sector nurses to quit in droves. 3. He allowed private nursing agencies to flood the healthcare system to enrich his donors. 3. He made the public health system look dysfunctional to justify the need for more privatization. The end result - 1. The public health sector lost thousands of nurses to private nursing agencies. 2. The public sector has to rely mainly on private nursing agencies to supply them the same nurses they lost, BUT, at triple the costs. Neat privatization scheme #onpoli #corruption

Harvard: “We’re so fully committed to free expression that we won’t bat an eye when our students make public overtures of their support for terrorist rapists.” Also Harvard: “Students may be subject to disciplinary action for free expressions of 'sizeism,' 'fatphobia,' 'cisheterosexism,' or ‘ableism'.” Make it make sense.

This is what genuinely “feeling unsafe” looks like. Not having a conversation where the pronoun ritual is rejected. Not being in the vicinity of middle aged women talking about their lost rights. This is actually feeling unsafe and terrorised. By other students. Disgusting.
"They want our people dead." Traumatized @UW students plead with admin about a gathering of Palestine supporters on the campus Red Square who shout, "There is only one solution." The far-left event was promoted with a flyer featuring a Hamas paraglider. teapaw.org/mozgovaya/status/17125…

I am a little bit troubled by the fact that "decolonization" — a very mainstream concept in modern Canadian political discourse — is understood by at least SOME faction of Canadian to mean "indiscriminate extrajudicial killing." Just a lil' troubled by that.

My daughter came to my study last night and asked me for some soothing words for her Jewish friend who is afraid because of Hamas’ global call for Jihad tomorrow. I tried to contextualize her fears by reminding her what we went through in Lebanon. We lived relatively free from these worries for decades in Canada. No longer true. All in the name of suicidal progressive ideals. Heartbreaking.

Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh was a gay man who feared persecution and sought asylum in Israel. His severed head and decapitated torso were discovered near his family’s house in the West Bank city he had reportedly fled. Hundreds of “queer” Palestinians are reported to have fled to Israel because of the hostility they face in Palestine. But go on…

That's odd. The most hateful week in 80 years, the most anti-Semitic moment since the Holocaust, followed by hate rallies across Canada, including chants for murder, and yet Trudeau's "anti-hate" NGO, @antihateca, hasn't had a single word to say.

We said ‘never again.’ The UK was a safe haven. Now, after the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, British Jewish children are being advised to hide their identities as they walk to school, for their own safety. There should be mass outrage that this is necessary.

#ONpoli Doug Ford held back $1.2 Billion in healthcare funding over the past 3 months… almost the exact amount he will spend on the clearing & parking garage & sewer upgrades for Therme spa.
