Nazi Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Narco Socialism and all other forms of socialism move at different speeds but always to the same destination — impoverished hell for the many and special powers & wealth for the few. Only freedom — free speech, free enterprise and free choice —

Donald Trump was the essential element that got the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire done. It’s hard to see how this would have happened under any other president

No other U.S. President could have done what he did

Starmer said he would recognize a Palestinian state if no peace deal was reached in September, which created a clear incentive for Hamas to resist negotiations. It was one of the stupidest moves by a Western leader over the last two years. The gall of this guy now
I share the deep feeling of relief as hostages are released today. It is now crucial that we work together to implement President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

It’s incredibly sad to see Dennis the Menace pivot from mischievous but mostly benign neighbourly antics to this
“Put the zios in the ground” is a call to murder Jews. “Zio” was the term for Jew coined by the KKK The cry to “go back home” was what the National Front used to shout at Black people. Now normal discourse on the streets by the community of the good https://t.co/NqvRIzG6cM

The Conservatives are right: Canada should end birthright citizenship

Doug Ford’s ‘Captain Canada’ shtick is getting old. Doesn’t he have a province to run? https://t.co/JPi45La7Hs

The Premier could focus on making the province more attractive to businesses. Instead, he’s threatening to pull Crown Royal from the LCBO

I wonder if the Liberals would reconsider if we start calling it “American-style birthright citizenship”
Federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser says he supports the continuation of birthright citizenship, calling it a bedrock of equal rights, in response to a Conservative MP’s push to end the practice https://t.co/16GbUInMfj

This is a lot of words to say you support raping women at a music festival and burning families in their homes
Palestinians as an indigenous population living under brutal military occupation and colonialism have every right to armed resistance against their oppressors. Solidarity with Palestinians and their right to life and dignity, must extend to solidarity with their armed resistance.

What a failure and embarrassment Concordia University downtown campus closed today to avoid 'potentially obstructive' protests https://t.co/W3JvBeokn4

Large-scale pro-Palestinian demonstrations filled the streets of downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon as part of a series of planned demonstrations to mark two years of war in Gaza.

Does Doug Ford have literally anything else to do? How about needlepointing a new tie? At least that would give him something tangible in the end

Incredible if this actually happens. It’s hard to overstate just how valuable hostages are to Hamas. If they indeed release them all at once, it would be enormous
BREAKING: Hamas statement in response to Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza: 🚨We appreciate President Trump’s efforts to bring an end to the war 🚨We agree to release all the hostages in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire 🚨We are ready to enter immediately into

Another bad Trudeau policy move that Carney should reverse
In 2012 Stephen Harper went to Davos to announce 🇨🇦 would raise the OAS / GIS eligibility age to 67. Why? Because by 2030 costs were projected to balloon to 3.14% of GDP. Trudeau undid that and then enhanced benefits. What’s it projected to now cost in 2030?… 2.98% #cdnpoli

What Carney has decided to recognize is an idea: a hypothetical Palestinian state that exists mainly in the minds of doe-eyed diplomats in Geneva, but is completely divorced from the current Palestinian reality, where Hamas is very much still in control
