Is a rogue element in India's spy agency the latest player in the Punjabi Gangland murder-for-hire racket? The Hogue Inquiry's first report is out (so's the jury). And a nemesis of mine is arrested.
"Samidoun was granted registration under Canada’s Not-for-Profit Corporations Act." This fact alone demonstrates Canada's support of select terrorist groups. In its quest for power the Liberal Party has abandoned Jewish Canadians specifically and any sense of morality generally.
Charlotte Kates comments were horrendous, and equally so was the fact that so many people cheered her on. Who were these lowlifes? Do their families/friends/employers know that they hold such atrocious deadly beliefs?
The head of the Ontario section of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Fred Hahn, expressed exactly such atrocious beliefs in his Thanksgiving message on social media, offered a lame apology about "timing". So far as I am aware, only one senior member of the union resigned, and there's a piece of litigation being brought by some Jewish members of the union regarding the toxic environment that the union's "activism" has created in the workplace. I have no idea as to chances of succeeding.
Unlikely. So many people that I have witnessed being interviewed at these events….. have no idea why they are there ( “ Sorry, I’m not qualified or educated enough to know why I’m here……. But, I’m just supporting the cause “ ?
🤦
Similar to the LGBT crowd who support Palestinians. If they ever paid a visit to Gaza….. they would be killed.
As usual why let facts get in the way of a good cause ?
These demos are largely attended by vacuous people wanting to take selfies while wearing keffiyahs, banging on little drums and screaming about colonialism in a piece of land that has been through so many invasions and conquests in its 3000+ years of documented history that it is an absurdity.
Part of this is explained by a desire to bolster one's (usually ridiculous) claim to victim status, the rest by what U Manchester philosopher Eve Garrard described in a 2013 essay titled "The pleasures of antisemitism", which she updated in the wake of the October 7/24 atrocities.
It has become too acceptable in some circles to advocate hate towards some groups just as long as those goups are classified under the 'oppressor' category.
From students to Foreign Ministers, the appeal is the simplicity of a two category world and autoselection. Always support the designated "victim"...no thinking required!
Yep, history is being revised before our eyes, and "critical thinking" has given way to "critical race theory" and related mind-rot. It'll be a huge uphill battle to bring fact-based reality and common sense back into vogue, and it has to start with public union decertification and rebuilding of the education system.
Thank you Terry. Let’s hope that Justice is done and they are deemed to be a Terrorist Organization in Canada. It seems that many groups who are deemed as such around the world are left off any such list in Canada. We are becoming a haven for all things unsavoury and it’s being allowed to happen due to the actions and inactions of the Trudeau Liberal Government. From the IRGC, UNWRA to Samidoun. I hope your hard work pays off and they are all listed as Terrorist Organizations in Canada as well.
Not widely reported yet but according to a report in Le Monde, picked up by Agence France Press and the Times of Israel, there was a series of bank robberies in Gaza targeting the Bank of Palestine some time in the last 2 weeks of Israel that netted the equivalent of $70M US in Israeli shekels. It is believed that the robberies were carried out by Hamasniks operating under "the highest orders". Obviously that money was transfers of foreign aid that resumed after the brief pause to do a whitewash of UNRWA links to Hamas.
Kate should be deported forthwith. John Rustad on X “Charlotte Kates should be deported for promoting terrorism. She is not a Canadian citizen”. The rest is just what Mr Glavin has been saying, all along, that most Canadians I expect would generally agree. But we are powerless to get rid of the cabal of weasels. Once the government changes it is important in my opinion, that parliament protects itself from such illegitimate chicanery: “ supply and confidence “
Canada: haven for terrorists from authoritarian-rogue regimes; safe harbour for immigration and multiculturalism which responds to overtures from the Liberal party to give their votes; welcome mat for United Front Work Department’s thuggish muting of democratic desires in the Chinese diaspora; confused electorate saddled with mixed protection from foreign interference by political parties; Senate hobbled by mouthpiece for Beijing (hello Yuen Pau Woo); Military underfunded and understaffed; study in survival from Ethics Violation Syndrome; land with great potential and currently inadequate leadership. Unsettling times for Canadians who have lived in more confident times.
Why the support for Hamas at Canadian universities? Could it be because universities have been teaching revolutionary and antisemitic radicalism for decades?
I am concerned less with where people are expressing their views and more with who they are, what they have to say and why. The actual platform is way down on my list of priorities. Interesting thoughts and ideas can come from anywhere. I try to stay open to that.
Sure, if you call dedication to truth and common sense, ideology. Maybe you could share some content from EpochTimes that you believe to be "ideology" or unfair?
I'm not one for generalizations. To me it depends more on whether you pay attention, are open-minded, have a good memory, are detail oriented, and consider information from multiple sources. I am a paid subscriber to many sources, including Washington Post, NYT, National Post, and many, many others. I watch and listen to CBC, despite its rabid Liberal bias and dogma. To me it's about listening to all "worldviews" in order that I can get a sense for "truth". I don't have pet canaries or parakeets, and I always catch, clean and cook my own fish, so I have no use for the Toronto Star.
Terry, I always appreciate your manner of achieving a perspective without compromising your values. Its clear that with the extreme right Hamas terrorists ruling Gaza and with the very conservative Netanyahu trying to avoid persecution by fighting a war, there is not much hope for peace in and around Israel. But a peace that only temporarily appeases Hamas, Iran and their proxies is still a failed peace. I heard from some Israelis recently that 80% of that country want Netanyahu out, except that would interrupt their current military strategies. It really is past time Samidoun was outlawed in Canada.
The face coverings are to prevent individual identification, and to avoid being noticed as regular "hired and paid protesters" Same tactics as "black-bloc" and "BLM". Specialties: anarchy, destabilizing society, extortion.
Don’t the UK bring in a law to ban face coverings during protests? If a gathering of more than say 10 people. No face coverings. Then I guess they will identify as female and say it’s a hijab. Who knows.
I appreciate your effort to parse the “hate speech” claim but I think there is still some significant daylight between calling for genocide against Israelis and calling for the dismemberment of a Jewish state (and replacement by a democratic secular state - something not a few Jews support.) I support a two state solution — and push back against a one state solution which is impossible — but I do hope in a century those states would combine into a federation and then eventually a secular non-ethnic state. That is the opposite of supporting genocide.
Almost everyone--Israelis, Americans, Canadians, Europeans (but not Iranians or Chinese)--supported a two state solution, until it became clear that Palestinians would never accept it. That is why Palestinians have turned down every one of the multiple offers of territory and sovereignty from Israel. The overwhelming majority of Palestinians demand "from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free (of Jews)." The widely-held theology-based claim that land once held by Muslims must always remain under the control of Muslims precludes recognition of a Jewish state. Likewise, Jews must always be "dhimma," subordinate to Muslims. Israelis never found "peace partners" among the Palestinians. Part of it might also be the Palestinian sense of humiliation and loss of honour from having lost multiple wars to Jews, always thought to be subhuman, thus undermining their identity of being brave warriors.
Palestinians need to abandon their genocidal theology and get with the modern world if they want to live and thrive. They should start today by denouncing Hamas, handing Hamas terrorists over to the Israelis to be dealt with by the Israeli justice system, find SNC release the hostages, and pick a leader and a party that wants peace and prosperity, not savage butchery. Responsibility for their own lives and fate is in their hands.
There’s an opportunity with Marwan Barghouti (“Palestine’s Nelson Mandela”.) Let’s see if Israel releases him. I can guess why they would not. He is far more popular than Hamas.
Actually most Palestinians do support a 2SS. Oslo was the closest everyone came but if you look closely at what it was, the key concessions were given by Palestinians. There’s lots written on this subject.
Yes, lots has been written about Palestinian support for a 2SS solution, but my recollection is that among those Palestinians who support a 2SS, many do so only as an interim stage toward a single Palestinian state.
The same can be said about many Israelis of course but their “river to the sea” is a different one — it’s a single Jewish state. My preference is two states->federated state-> single secular state for all, neither Jewish nor Muslim theocracy. But that’s a ways away isn’t it?
Most Gazans support Hamas, to go by opinion polls and the fact that they elected them. The Hamas charter calls for the removal of Israel with everyone accepting Islam.
It's disappointing to see the brazenness with which Khalistanis operate in Canada. This happened in Ontario yesterday (May 5th): https://x.com/sidhant/status/1787340335666069770. Is this really "free speech"? If there were displays / floats of a Canadian PM circulating in other countries with associated threats of violence, we'd be furious. People are free to advocate peacefully for whatever they want, but threatening political leaders of other countries, threatening diplomats with physical harm and actively funding violence in other countries using Canada's financial networks (even as CSIS and this govt. turns a blind eye to it all) completely crosses the line.
"Three days after Israeli authorities listed Samidoun specifically on Israel’s own registry of terrorist groups, Samidoun was granted registration under Canada’s Not-for-Profit Corporations Act."
Holy crap! I really wish people would stop saying "Canada did this, or Canada supports that." It's "Trudeau's Liberals and public sector unions that support this .. and that...". The majority of us, who are "normal Canada", certainly do not.
Two replies from Indo Canadians in Vancouver Sun to my comment mentioning effect in India's view of Canadian's #1 world record of aircraft sabotage deaths and origins.

Completely agree & I will give it a read. 🙏
It has become too acceptable in some circles to advocate hate towards some groups just as long as those goups are classified under the 'oppressor' category.
Wokism in action. Trudeau sowed these destructive seeds in Canada, but Canadians are reaping and will continue to reap a harvest of tears.
Absolutely correct. And the oppressor-victim framework is the theory through which everything in university is taught today.
From students to Foreign Ministers, the appeal is the simplicity of a two category world and autoselection. Always support the designated "victim"...no thinking required!

Canada's multiculturalism experiment has morphed into a multicult experiment. Social engineering at its' finest.
Kate should be deported forthwith. John Rustad on X “Charlotte Kates should be deported for promoting terrorism. She is not a Canadian citizen”.

I don’t know what to say anymore. Is this really real? Anyway, as always well done.
Canada: haven for terrorists from authoritarian-rogue regimes; safe harbour for immigration and multiculturalism which responds to overtures from the Liberal party to give their votes; welcome mat for United Front Work Department’s thuggish muting of democratic desires in the Chinese diaspora; confused electorate saddled with mixed protection from foreign interference by political parties; Senate hobbled by mouthpiece for Beijing (hello Yuen Pau Woo); Military underfunded and understaffed; study in survival from Ethics Violation Syndrome; land with great potential and currently inadequate leadership.

Yup, that about says it all, 9 years of hard work....Canada in the gutter!!!

Epoch times…..
Were you expecting the CBC to provide some balanced coverage ?
Grateful for people like Terry Glavin & many @ the Epoch Times for truth telling.
Exactly!
A stopped clock gets its right twice a day.
I am concerned less with where people are expressing their views and more with who they are, what they have to say and why. The actual platform is way down on my list of priorities. Interesting thoughts and ideas can come from anywhere. I try to stay open to that.
I agree. But Epoch Times is a fervently ideological paper. Just flagging it. I’ve been interviewed by them too.
Sure, if you call dedication to truth and common sense, ideology. Maybe you could share some content from EpochTimes that you believe to be "ideology" or unfair?
It would depend on whether you share the world outlook of ET or not.
I'll wait for your examples of EpochTimes "fervent ideology".
I'm not one for generalizations. To me it depends more on whether you pay attention, are open-minded, have a good memory, are detail oriented, and consider information from multiple sources.

The problem is that the Palestinians have repeatedly rejected the two state solution. They want one Arab state with the Jews gone.
