National Post- Man in keffiyeh threatens Montreal Jew: ‘We will kill you all”
Sources indicate the man does not live in Saint-Laurent but likely attends a mosque in the borough. That fact risks further inflaming tensions in a neighbourhood where Jewish and Muslim families live side by side in the post-October 7 world.

Fudge Those Numbers!
Whatever happens to the housing industry in this country, the damage will invariably be papered over by financial institutions marking assets to book value instead of market value. That’s what they’ve been doing since 2008 and most everyone seems okay with it. What could possibly go wrong?
“I think the last time I saw this was in 2008-2009 during the financial crisis,” she said. “And in 2020 during COVID-19.”
Calderwood has built a career specializing in selling luxury real estate from condos to waterfront properties, and she has recently noticed both a decline in sales and prices, as well as a rise in foreclosures.
“It really picked up last year, but this year, too,” she said. “A lot of foreclosures and then you just see the price dropping. Sometimes people are losing a couple of million.”
Obviously We Need To Shut It All Down
University of British Columbia- Canadian crops beat global emissions—even after 17 trips across the Atlantic
Canadian-grown wheat, canola and peas have some of the lowest carbon footprints in the world—so low that, in some cases, they could be shipped to Europe 17 times before matching the emissions of the same crops grown there.
Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
Kevin Klein- Air Canada strike shows cost of Ottawa’s protectionism
When one or two players dominate an industry, every disruption becomes a national crisis, and the government ends up refereeing instead of letting the market do its job. That’s the bigger problem. We’ve built a country where too many sectors are protected from competition, and Canadians pay the price for it.
Pants On Fire
Blacklock’s- Organ Donor Story Unproven
Labour Minister Patty Hajdu yesterday would not substantiate her claim a legal strike by 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants threatened deliveries of life-saving medicine and organ tissue. Hajdu was previously cited for fabricating stories to justify strike bans.
“Shipments of critical goods such as pharmaceuticals and organ tissue should continue to reach their destinations,” said Hajdu. The airline strike was about “the safety of Canadians,” she told reporters. “This is simply unacceptable.”
Ask Not
I Want A New Country
The state-owned trading giant has accelerated moves to secure supplies from Australia, the world’s second largest exporter, following Beijing’s decision last week to impose a temporary duty of 75.8 per cent on shipments from Canada following an anti-dumping probe, said the people, who asked not to be named because they’re not authorized to talk to the media.
China has typically relied on Canada for the bulk of its imports of rapeseed and the meal that’s derived from crushing the crop into a product that’s easily fed to livestock and fish. That trade was already under fire when Beijing slapped hefty tariffs earlier this year on cargoes of rapeseed meal in a tit-for-tat response to Canadian duties on Chinese goods.

Lawfare engaged to kill Saskatchewan coal revival

Pipeline Online does one of its deepest dives yet into the injunction application meant to shut down Saskatchewan’s coal-fired generation fleet, just as this province begins its rebirth. At stake are 1100 jobs, billions of dollars, and keeping 44% of Saskatchewan’s lights on. And just who gets to govern around here, anyhow?
I spent five days working on this five part series which starts Monday. The Saskatchewan Environmental Society and Citizens for Public Justice have put forward a 12-year-old non-binary child from Regina who has been in national headlines now three times in two years (attention seeking, perhaps?) as the Saskatchewan version of Greta Mark II as part of this. And be forewarned, the lawyer who did that said that if anyone said nasty things online about the child he put forward, there could be legal consequences. Is he using the child as bait? I dig into this in Part 3.
The other inviduals are a Saskatoon environmental podcaster who is taking a poli sci degree in her 50s. And the third is a Manitoba farmer who neither lives in Saskatchewan nor is a SaskPower customer.
And it was only at the end of this process I realized the lawyer filing the case has run unsuccessfully for office five times. Is he trying to accomplish through the courts what he failed at the ballot box?
This is lawfare, pure and simple.
I’ll have a piece each day. Watch for it and share if you’re willing.
