The Iranian connection. It’s well-known, or should be, that Iran is the epicenter of much of the chaos in the world, these days. Wherever you look, the Iranian regime’s destructive presence is being felt. Iran-backed Houthis terrorists have targeted shipping in the Red Sea, shutting down 70 per cent of

The Trudeau Liberals are still a government, yes. But make no mistake: they are dying. And they are dying without dignity. Yes, they have all the trappings of government. The expense accounts. The limousines and chauffeurs. The legions of officials producing mountains of unread memoranda for them. All that. But,

Governments-funded hate rallies? Anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protestors are getting paid to protest.  That was the revelation that Postmedia shared last week.  In Canada and the United States, groups and individuals are receiving thousands – sometimes tens of thousands – to stage angry, and occasionally violent, protests against the Jewish state. But some

OTTAWA – Liberal forecast here in the Nation’s Capital: rain, hail and locusts. With a possibility of sunshine, chirping birds, and limitless blue skies. That, at least, was the Grit forecast at the 90th birthday party of the Rt. Hon. Jean Chretien in Ottawa Thursday night. Lovely and clear, but

Follow the money. In any scandal, that’s the rule: follow the money. When you see who is paying, and who is benefiting, you learn plenty. Yesterday, this newspaper followed the money, and broke some news: anti-Israel protestors are getting paid to protest. After the horrors of October 7 – and

They’re being paid to protest. What many have suspected has now been confirmed by this newspaper and a few courageous Canadians: pro-Palestine – and, increasingly, pro-Hamas – protestors are being paid to protest. To block highways and roads. To intimidate and threaten Jews and non-Jews. To cause chaos. They’re being

In less than a week, we’ve seen them disrupting the Mayor’s skate party. We’ve seen them scream curses and epithets at the regular folks there. We’ve seen them intimidating an elderly couple at the same event. We’ve seen them blocking highways and roads and getting coffee and doughnuts from the

It’s terrorism. The firebombing of a Jewish business in Toronto last week, that is. The attack on International Delicatessen Foods (IDF) – and the FREE PALESTINE scrawled on its exterior wall by the firebomber(s) – literally meets every available definition of terrorism. The Canadian Department of Justice defines terrorism in

Jean Chretien is turning 90 this week. And what a life he has had. Let me tell you one of my favorite Chretien stories, about just one afternoon in that extraordinary life. One sunny day a few years ago, I was in Vancouver for business. Turned out Chretien was, as

What does it take? What does it take for police and prosecutors to do their job, that is. What does it take? Since October 7, when a modern shoah commenced, this country has shamed itself. This country has witnessed the biggest surge in Jew hatred since the years leading to the

Sorry, partisans, but you can’t have it both ways. January 2022: protestors start blocking Ottawa streets to make a political point. Police are ultimately used to clear them out. Some conservatives are very unhappy the police used force to do so, while some progressives are happy. January 2024: protestors start

“We don’t need no education.” It’s ironic, and telling, that the author of that 1979 Pink Floyd lyric was Roger Waters. Waters is a musician, but he is also one of the most notorious Jew-haters on the planet. He dresses up in Nazi-style uniforms for shows, he refuses to eat

Two sides. One side hasn’t shot up schools for little kids. It hasn’t firebombed community centers and places of worship. Its clergy haven’t called for a deity to slaughter the other side. It hasn’t yelled death threats at people in shopping malls. It hasn’t targeted businesses with threats and abuse

Picking the big winner of 2023 is easy. It’s Pierre Poilievre. At year’s end, the fledgling Conservative leader is a winner not simply because he is leading in the polls. At various times, Erin O’Toole and Andrew Scheer – along with the likes of Robert Stanfield and Kim Campbell –

It’s that time of year – when columnists make predictions about the year ahead. The ones found below were written before this writer, and this newspaper, were targeted by an army of trolls – and some we considered friends – accusing us of anti-Semitism. Us, arguably the most pro-Israel newspaper

Where were you, Mom and Dad, on the day that Hamas thanked the Trudeau government? Agreed: the day that the world’s most notorious terror group offered up video thanks to the Justin Trudeau regime probably doesn’t rank up there with 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. But it’s in the same category,
