This makes a lot of sense from a few different perspectives. First of all is safety. During a global pandemic, having politicians gather multiple large crowds a day to solicit for donations and support is a clear health hazard to everyone involved. This is why the two leading candidates, Peter MacKay and Erin O’Toole have suspended their campaigns.
In the last 48 hours, the WHO has declared Coronavirus a global “Pandemic”, major sports leagues have been suspended, the Prime Minister’s wife has tested positive for Covid-19 and the entire Canadian parliament has been shutdown until at least mid-April. However, one ongoing public event is still taking place, the Conservative party leadership race. It […]
The softness of the media combined with Omar Khadr’s inability to accept responsibility and show remorse for his actions have taken the pro-payout side off a moral cliff. Now, it is believed that “Omar Khadr did nothing wrong.”
This pipeline was proposed by Kinder Morgan at no cost to the taxpayer, but after the Liberals provided every possible roadblock to the TMX project, Kinder Morgan was forced to cut their losses and leave Canada. This forced a government buyout of $4.5 billion. They assumed the remaining costs, which have now ballooned past $12.6 billion.
Avideh: “Jowhari’s demeanour has led me to think that he is acting in favour of the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic. I particularly remember the time when he tweeted a favourable stance toward the Islamic Republic of Iran, against the rights of protestors, while the regime was killing people brutally in the streets, calling the Islamic republic’s government an “elected” government. And actually, his first official act as an MP at the House of Commons was to sponsor the Petition E-553 which benefits and is in the interest of a foreign government, the Islamic Republic of Iran, a nation which is internationally sanctioned and is known as a state sponsor of terrorism.”
That’s right. The leader of our country needs a break after two-plus weeks of vacation in the middle of a major political crisis. Shocking, but not atypical from his escapades in the Bahamas and to Aga Khan’s island, exceeding $215,000 and $125,000, respectively.
On Saturday, January 4th, dozens of people showed up to honour dead terrorist Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis. The rally was organized by the Mahdi Youth Society to honour these “heroes of Islam.” They also named them “Shaheed,” which is Arabic for martyr.
Over the next few weeks, expect a lot of noise from Iran, their proxies and political pundits who had to Google what the IRGC Quds Force was last night. But mostly it will be just that, noise.
It is being reported by Al Mayadeen news that Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Force, has been killed in a recent U.S. airstrike. The Quds Force is the foreign arm of Iran Islamic Republic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) and a listed terrorist entity in the U.S.
Unfortunately, we have a political class that is happily in bed with Islamists and can rest there quite comfortably since they know the media poses no real threat of competently reporting on any of this. Take for example the recent major Islamic conference in Toronto, Reviving the Islamic Spirit, which bills itself as the largest one in North America. They chose to invite Siraj Wahhaj as one of their main speakers, and this should have raised some eyebrows within the media if it truly is as sensationalist and Islamophobic as some people claim it is.
