The Middle East’s Ancient Hatreds Have Given Way to Scorn by Clueless Canucks

While historic changes are occurring in the Middle East, the petty grudges of ignorant Canadians are still ongoing and some are noticing:

Canadian officials went so far as to ban American spirits from their store shelves, a prohibition that still exists in many provinces today.

“This was all about some ugliness that we’re not part of,” Moore said. “We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

Canadian visitors by land to the United States have plunged 31% so far this year through the end of September, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada. Air travel by Canadians is down by 13%.

“The tough thing for us is, it’s nothing we’ve done. We’ve worked hard to grow our business and lure folks who want to come across the border,” Dame said. “Canadians just aren’t happy. It’s not economic policy. It’s these hurtful things said about their country.”

Styx weighs in.

Maybe Saskatchewan needs to get moving on that whole rare earths thing. Lithium, too. Gotta power those iPhones.

Trump won this war in June, when he made an unapologetic decision to intervene with military strikes in Iran. Those strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities completely shook up the order in the region, which had settled into an Iranian track toward dominance. Israel had already done most of the damage by wiping out Hezbollah’s upper echelons and their banking system, which led directly to the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new Syrian regime that detests the mullahs in Iran. However, the strikes by Trump on Iran forced everyone to reconsider their assumptions and recalculate for a president who had no problem ordering military force to defend and protect American interests.

However, the strike by Israel on Hamas facilities in Doha played a role here too. Trump claimed to be angry over that attack, and the White House made it known that he supposedly forced Benjamin Netanyahu to apologize to the Qatari emirate. However, that also sent a signal that both US and Israeli impatience over the Hamas Hokey Pokey and the uselessness of the Billionaire Boys Club in Doha had reached a critical moment. With both the US and Israel willing to throw down against terror networks and their sponsors, time ran out for Hamas.

Fox News: Israeli lawmakers declared Trump ‘the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House’

Trump described the ceasefire with Hamas “as a very exciting time for Israel and for the entire Middle East” and said “the forces of chaos, terror and ruin that have plagued the region for decades now stand weakened, isolated, and totally defeated.”

Trump, who is also set to depart for Egypt on Monday, suggested a peace deal with Iran could be next as he looks to enfold more Middle Eastern nations into the Abraham Accords, which saw the normalization of relations with several Arab nations during his first term.

Meanwhile, in Gaza… “This time people weren’t fleeing Israeli attacks. They were running from their own people,” one witness told the BBC.

“Why?”

Yes, Hamas Caved. (Read it all).

Egypt and Qatar told Hayya the deal was his last chance to end the war, according to the officials. They pressed Hamas to understand that holding the hostages was becoming a strategic liability, giving Israel a source of legitimacy to keep fighting.

The next day, joined by Turkey, they warned him that if Hamas didn’t approve the plan it would be stripped of all political and diplomatic cover; Qatar and Turkey would no longer host the group’s political leadership, and Egypt would stop pressing for Hamas to have a say in Gaza’s postwar governance, the officials said.

Dan Knight- “They Never Asked What It Would Cost”: Budget Watchdog Testifies Liberal Government Never Calculated Impact of Immigration Surge

In a stunning moment of honesty before Parliament, Canada’s own budget watchdog just confirmed what every sane person already suspected: the federal government under Justin Trudeau and now Mark Carney has never even bothered to ask what this out-of-control immigration surge is actually costing the country.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

In another embarrassing and revealing moment for Western mainstream media and its many puff pieces on Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, Canadian national broadcaster CBC has aired a news report this week from “an elite training facility” of its 3rd Assault Brigade in Kiev, featuring a fighter with a swastika tattoo on his arm.

The footage, released Thursday, blurred out the swastika tattoo of one of the main military trainers interviewed, but failed to do so in the video’s YouTube thumbnail. Comments were turned off, with a note attached in the YouTube description which reads: “A tattoo of an offensive symbol has been blurred in this video.” Watch (officer with tattoo starts at :16 mark)
