January 3, Yonge/Dundas Square, Toronto

When the concept of multiculturalism was introduced to Canadians, most assumed it meant “more pavilions at Folkfest”…

  1. I wonder if Pierre’s ghost attended the rally?
    On a serious note , we should not forget that the People in Gaza are resonsible for this mess. They chose and elected Hamas and they continue
    to support these thugs.
    Even those who support Israel sometimes forget that it’s the average Palestian who is responsible.
    I sometimes wish our Immigration criteria had one founding rule: If you want to bring your hatreds with you…Don’t come to Canada!

  2. What are the champions of human rights, secularism, responsible free speech doing today…well they’re marching with terrorists and their supporters, lending support to terrorists shouting “Allah Akbar! and ‘death to Israel’ etc. etc. The new inverted Canada.

  3. From yesterday’s Jerusalem Post:
    “Another Fatah official said it was “ironic and sad” that people were demonstrating in Tokyo and London against the Israeli offensive while the PA was trying to halt such protests out of fear that they would turn into pro-Hamas rallies. ”
    Ironic indeed.
    Fatah and Egypt are siding with Israel against Hamas. This is a stunning development, a news definitely worth printing. But it won’t be. That’s beyond ironic.

  4. Palestinians sure are hard to figure out. First they claim that they want to be martyrs, that there is no greater glory. Next, after provoking a response by shooting missiles across the border, they get p*ssed off when Israel responds by dropping bombs on them. Some people you just can’t make happy no matter what you do.

  5. We have an islamic 5’th column right here in Canada.
    One would think that Iran’s agents in Canada are running the show in regards to the demos here and elsewhere. No person in their right mind could actually support these thugs, Hamass. unless of course you are doing the bidding for the mother ship of terrorism, which happens to be Iran, or you could be a brain dead anti-semite. Well actually both.

  6. Just ignore it. In a few years they will be doing it again. And again. And again. Just a endless tape with same crap…different year.

  7. Why do we tolerate this and why are they not deported? Two excellent questions and I would add a third one. How many were born here? A famous Brit (not to-day’s UK) who was born in Ireland was once asked how he could be British and not Irish replied that being born in a stable did not make one a horse.
    So just exactly what do these people contribute to Canada other than the most vile form of hatred?

  8. Right on Alain. And how difficult would it have been to screen these fascists or their parents on entry to Canada? A half trained immigration official might have missed one or two but we seem to have a real problem building for the near future.
    Entire cultures of thousands who consider us to be just convenient dupes or worse. An American social scientist some years ago attributed the much higher US crime rate as caused by a counter culture of people who were schooled by the Civil Rights Movement. I think we will all live to see his Theseus proved.

  9. Are these flags not of a banned (and illegal ..) terrorist organization?
    Should these flags not be confiscated at the very least by police, or the demonstrators charged?

  10. Alain; the actual selection and screening of immigrants (to Canada) is done by locals hired in whatever country is under discussion. To a career bureaucrat that seems to make sense, I guess…

  11. Any person holding up a flag with an AK-47 on it is not a Canadian. He/She is certainly not welcome in my Canada.
    I’m fed up with the Cult of Tolerance, and the Cult of Multikulteralism. You are Canadian, period. If not, f8ck off, and go back to Fecesistan where apparently you’d prefer to be. F*cking ingrates.

  12. Looks like they’re getting ready for martyrdom. Thank God for the Gun Control Registry.

  13. every day we get a little closer to violence in our streets. i have said it before and will say it again, islam is evil and those who follow it do not want peace except on islamic terms. ie. the death of all jews, christians etc.

  14. Israel, here’s how to do it;
    Take over all the mosques and schools that they use to teach their children this poison, then wait thirty or forty years, until the present generation is too old for rocket-launching duty.

  15. I expect the CBC will start another TV comedy to appease the pro-Hamas population of Muslims in canada since LMOTP was such a hit after 9/11 when 24 canadians were slaughtered by 19 Muslims.
    The show could be called….
    Corner Gaza
    A peacful town out west has a business run by Palestinians that funnel profits back to Hamas and Hezballah , but locals haven’t caught on to the families bent for collecting RPG’s and Suicide vests.
    Thanks to out Refugee System these thugs and Islamists also get free health care and welfare checks if they go to school , maybe that’s why some have covered their faces because they told Officials they fled the Middle east to live in Peace in canada.
    This is what maher Arar told the Media and they bought it , the CBC didn’t care that Arar applied for a gun permit, or that he left his wife and kids to live in the USA near the Boston Airport
    where the 9/11 hijackers got some planes , nor did they report that the RCMP found data Discs and Hard drives hidden in walls and the attic of his house.
    His wife is palestinian and Pro-Sharia law that’s why we don’t see her ever working outside the Home , the Arar’s fled canada for Tunisia to live to her relatives until the local Police starting watching them because of her relatives ties to the Muslim Brotherhood .
    That was when Arar again abandoned his family and caught a Plane to get out and go to the USA , he was refused entry as a single male travelling by himself with a canadian passport as a Syrian.
    Tunisia refused to take him back for fear the Arar’s would demand asylum and go on welfare , it was only JORDAN that agreed to take him in and then Ararbs kidnapped him and Allegedly harmed him befor taking him to Syria for a Military trial as a draft-Dodger .
    We were played for suckers folks, the Arar’s got $10 million dollars in exchange for dropping their $400 million Law suit agaisnt us tax payers.
    Arar never testified , nor gave one piece of evidence to prove he was tortured in Syria after he left Jordan.
    It’s all in the Inquiry documents and the O’Connor report that the MSM is ignoring or too stupid to do research on the facts about Arar.

  16. Deja vu…
    How predictable.
    Every time Israel defends herself against the hateful Jew-killers of “Palestine”, these scumbags are all over the Toronto streets with their illegal terrorist flags and their hate-propaganda picket signs (don’t expect Special K and the Warman to go after these special folks, though- they ain’t white, so they can spew hate all they want). But when “Palestine” is attacking Israel and Israel isn’t retaliating, where the hell are these people? Think about that. Duh!
    Pro-“Palestinian”/anti-Israel demonstrators are haters, period. They lie. They claim to stand up for human rights, but that’s a lie.

  17. Why did the Hamas supporters have face coverings at the protest while the Israeli supporters didn’t cover their faces?
    Answer: The cold Toronto wind was blowing onto the faces of Hamas supporters. The wind was blowing onto the backs of Israeli supporters–face coverings weren’t needed. It’s allahmentary science.

  18. This is the price we must be willing to pay to ensure free speech in this country (not that we have free speech as Ezra, Kate and the other Bloggers who have faced lawsuits and/or human rights complaints can attest). I might not agree with their message but they should have the right to express their POV.

  19. “Why did the Hamas supporters have face coverings at the protest while the Israeli supporters didn’t cover their faces?”
    Maybe the Hamas supporters are ugly and were embarrassed to possibly see themselves on TV.
    Oh, wait…

  20. Saw clps of protests all around the world, including in Israel itself. Yes, that’s Jewish Israelis protesting their own gov’t, demanding it be stopped.
    I wonder, if you’re a Palestinian living in Gaza and blame Hamas, can you take to the streets to protest against them…. or would you be shot to death on the spot, or taken away never to be seen again? Just further proof that there’s no moral equivalency between Israel and Hamas.
    Oh, and it’s funny that we have MSM attacking the Israeli gov’t, demanding they be allowed to follow the IDF around inside Gaza to report specidfic locations to Hamas… this is the same MSM that explains/rationalizes to its viewers that its reporters have to be blindfolded by Hamas terrorists (oops, strike that, I meant “militants”) en route to the rocket-making factories… you see, if they weren’t blindfolded, well, Israel could map the route with the footage provided, and if you’re MSM you don’t want to do that.

  21. I have always wondered at this curious alliance between militant islamists and our liberal lefties. What would make those dim bulb libs get in bed with racists, women haters and religous fanatics? At first glance they are nothing alike.
    Upon closer inspection though, our fig farming goat feltching palestinkian terrorist friends are much like our liberals in other regards:
    1. they will happily yodel and howl about their own rights while denying others theirs
    2. they will cheerfully bypass the democratic majority to achieve their ends and fall back on it when their aims coincide
    3. when it is time to defend their rights, these bungholes would rather have others do their fighting for them – they will offer moral support by waving placards and burning flags.
    4. their personal hygienic habits are similiar too. Dirty, smelly hippies abound in Tranna
    Rather than bacon grease, I would rather see that crowd sprayed with napalm. To hell with the lot of them.

  22. As I’m looking at the Muslim protest a question comes to my mind……. Is it possible for Israeli F-18’s to fly this far……? Naw…. too bad though.

  23. It may not make sense to anyone with common sense but apparently it’s OK to fire rockets into Israel and expect Israel to ignore them. That’s a prime example of the Lefty brain at work.
    The media gives the Hamas supporters holed up in the safety of this country more coverage than they gave our anti-coalition crowds.
    Thanks to Trudeau’s Charter those Bastards with face masks on our Parliament Hill and elsewhere have all the rights they could never dream of where they sprung from. How many are true Canadian citizens? If they were pooped out here they certainly are not protesting according to Canadian values, they’re protesting in extreme hatred for the Jewish people. As Canadians we support the right of any country to defend herself.
    If we don’t stem the flow of immigrants with agendas spawned by old hatreds we’re going to be having more than demonstrations in our streets.
    It appears Australia gets it. They’re not going to allow any Gitmo detainees back into their country. Of course the Leftoids in this country can hardly wait to get the Khadr spawn back “home” to the arms of his terrorist supporting family.

  24. I am sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Gaza part of Egypt before the 1967 war? If that is the case it has never been Palestine and the Israelis should give it back to Egypt and let them deal with it.

  25. Sounder: “The new inverted Canada.”
    In a nutshell.
    I can tell you that if 80% of Canadians went to Christian churches and synagogues on a regular basis and 20% didn’t, as was the case just a scant 50 years ago, we wouldn’t have many of the lib-left policies we have today or the disgusting scenes of Hamas flags proudly waving at the corner of Yonge and Dundas Streets in one of Canada’s largest cities.
    Today, we have 20% of Canadians going to Christian churches and synagogues and 80% not. ‘Talk about inverted Canada: Can we say that this flip in our habits has benefited Canada and Canadians’ freedoms?
    If we are EVER to come to terms with what has happened in our country, re the inversion of democratic values, we have to come to terms with our national belittling of the faith of our fathers and mothers, the faith that nurtured and ensured the democratic freedoms Canadians have enjoyed up to this point.
    For the past 40 years, in both government and our public institutions of “education” (let’s call it re-education) Canadians have been discouraged from either acknowledging, let alone supporting, Judeo-Christian beliefs and values. We have been told to dump them, while at the same time, under the banner of multiculturalism, to glorify all other cultures and faiths. Christians (less so Jews) have been ridiculed and criticized when we express our faith in the public square and have been told, in no uncertain terms, to shut up and go to the back of the multi-culti bus.
    A few people get it. But a whole lot more Canadians need to get — and start speaking up about it — before there can be any expectation of a change for the better in multi-culti, anti-Judeo-Christian, Canada.
    ‘Ever wonder why the left supports Hamas? In part, because they’re against both Jews and Christians whom the left see as sworn enemies. And, in many ways we are. We don’t buy their social engineering schemes for the world and have often been quite vocal about it — even though very few seem to be listening …

  26. I respect anyone’s right to free expression in Canada and that includes peaceful demonstrations but I’m more than a little pi–sed to see a couple of Canadian flags flying in that protest scene. Its an insult to my country’s strongest symbol.

  27. As Hamas was the duly elected “government” of Gaza and the Palestinians, then the resumption of rocket bombardments was an act of war, not terrorism. Israel has every legitimate right to take the war as far into Gaza as necessary to end the aggression against it permanently. Those barking at the UN and in Toronto and elsewhere, need to understand that if they recognize the legitimacy of Palestine, they have to recognize that the state of Palestine has initiated a state of war against Israel, not terrorism. Be careful what you wish for when you elect a government…

  28. Roger
    there’s a wealth of information available about the kennedy assassinations, never touched by the msm, it’s very damning
    a different bob
    that’d be 15 & 16’s, kanada flies those paper pussy planes, 18’s:-))))
    minuteman
    yup, that’s correct, and the west bank was Jordan, just repatriate the people and keep the land

  29. BTW: When I talk about “we” Christians, I’m not talking about the official hierarchies of most of Canada’s mainline Christian churches.
    For some reason–isn’t this how you get to be part of hierarchical officialdom?–they’ve been very good at playing dead while saying “hit me again” when it comes to Christians being belittled, ignored, persecuted, punished, and shut up in the public square. And all too often, they’re the ones encouraging Canada’s policy of “multiculturalism,” even though Canada’s policy is actually a beard to cover up Canada’s lib-left anti-Judeo-Christian sentiments.
    Enough is enough.

  30. “free to express opinions in Canada”
    Quite right. But as a sovereign, Canada has every right to allow into this country whoever it wishes.
    It follows that it has the right to not allow large groups of people who espouse a cult of death, a perverted form of religion which praises killers, manifests martyrs, treats women like cattle, believes certain groups in our world are so inferior they are ripe for extermination, condones and encourages honour killings and attempts to advocate all of these things as acceptable in Canada in the form of Sharia law.
    Rights work both ways.
    Those who attempt to manipulate the “I have my rights” mentality usually tend to forget that.

  31. Multiculturalism as a policy within our Constitution, bucked up by Trudeau’s Charter could eventually take us to a place we never imagined. It’s one of our main attractions for immigrants from some of the most unstable places in the world.
    In this democracy, before Trudeau’s tinkering, we were governed by the rule of law and had equal rights as law abiding citizens. God and Christianity were not bad words either. We could celebrate Christmas and recite the Lord’s Prayer in public schools and council chambers etc without objection.
    Now we have to go underground so we won’t offend some minority or other. Bear in mind those minority are growing and demanding more for their beliefs knowing they will get anything they ask for under Charter rights.

  32. Well-said, biff. And just a reminder to those who have forgotten: When Christians demonstrated in front of abortion clinics, peacefully by the way, praying, singing, and walking, they were accosted by police and the judiciary banned them from being anywhere near a clinic.
    Linda Gibbons is in prison, again. Does anyone care?
    One of the great ironies of this is that one of the main reasons Canada has had to allow so many immigrants into our country is that we have aborted roughly 2.5 million CANADIAN babies.
    Think about it.

  33. I totally concur with batb. When a country—a civilization, The West—severs its own roots, it’s not going to survive. Add in the fact that the darkness is falling and the wolves are circling.
    We’re watching the suicide of our once strong and free culture. A vacuum will always be filled: look at the pictures of the anti-Israel mobs and be very afraid. ‘Ashamed too: remember, this is suicide. As batb has pointed out, we have chosen to turn our backs on our Judeo-Christian foundation and the free culture it allowed. We ignore its annihilation at our immense peril.

  34. I am sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Gaza part of Egypt before the 1967 war? If that is the case it has never been Palestine and the Israelis should give it back to Egypt and let them deal with it.

    Egypt doesn’t want them.
    Isn’t that surprising. Wow, who’da thunk it?

  35. “‘Ever wonder why the left supports Hamas? In part, because they’re against both Jews and Christians whom the left see as sworn enemies.”
    batb, so true unfortunately.
    I am reading What’s so great about Christianity by Dinesh D’Souza (a Chanukah present to myself)- it clearly covers the facts of how Western civilization is biblically based. JudeoChristian values/morals hinder the agenda of the left and so they team up with the enemies of Christians and Jews.
    If you throw up your hands and say a pox on both their houses, if you cannot pick a side in this battle, your side will be picked for you

  36. You want these hamas terrorist supporters, with their faces covered, out there protesting on our streets. It is a guarantee the liberals will never regain power in our country. I have talked to many who cannot bring themselves to vote liberal because of the fact they see the liberals as terrorist supporters.
