Israel’s National Security Council has raised its travel advisory for Canada from Level 1 (“no warning”) to Level 2 (“potential threat”), citing an increased danger to Israelis and Jews living or travelling in the country.
The NSC noted a “growing threat from terrorist elements” in Canada, pointing to a series of recent attacks and threats targeting Jewish institutions and individuals. Over the past 18 months, there have been multiple incidents, including shootings, arson attacks, and direct threats against Jews and Israelis.
B’nai Brith Canada documented a historic high of antisemitic incidents in 2024, with 6,219 reported cases including firebombing of synagogues, attacks on schools and Jewish-owned businesses, and several arrests of suspects on terrorism-related charges. The tally represented a 7.4 per cent increase from 2023 and a 124 per cent increase from 2022.

Penticton Herald- 18-year-old from Ivujivik takes action against Elections Canada
Tiivi Tullaugak says he wants to hold the government agency accountable for failing to arrive in his community on April 28, federal election day, to set up polling stations.
Elections Canada is investigating why people were denied the chance to vote in seven Nunavik communities on election day. Polling stations in Akulivik and Tullaugak’s community of Ivujivik never opened, and in five other communities they operated for only part of their scheduled eight-hour window.

The Sound Of Settled Science
I thought nothing could “escape” from a black hole;
A supermassive black hole lurking at the heart of a relatively close galaxy is firing off a rapid-fire slew of ultrafast gas “bullets” into the surrounding galaxy.
This is the conclusion of an international team of astronomers with the U.S./Japanese X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), whose spacecraft was designed to observe the hot plasma winds that blow through galaxies.
The subject of the study was PDS 456, an active galactic nucleus located some 2.18 giga light-years from the Earth in the constellation of Serpens.
The team say that the energy being carried by the “bullets” of wind is far greater than was expected—and could shake up our understanding of how galaxies and their central black holes evolve in tandem.
But it’s Newsweek, so they probably got it wrong.
It’s Only Okay If The Liberals Do It
I have no doubt that Carney is running a much tighter ship than Justin ever did. But I can’t help but contrast how the mainstream media seems blissfully content about this, considering that Stephen Harper, who also ran a similarly tight ship, was routinely denounced as having a dictatorial approach precisely because of it.
He is fiercely punctual, runs a tight ship during meetings and is decisive — all marked differences from his predecessor.
“Decision-making is not a problem,” said one senior government official, describing Carney as “task focused” and for whom results matter.
“He does not suffer fools,” the official added, a common refrain among all sources.
Carney, 60, also cares deeply about professionalism in his office. Staff are expected to dress in formal business attire and documents are to be written using British spelling, for example.
Let Them Eat Taser
Never forget.
Newly declassified intelligence documents reveal that the Biden administration categorized Americans who opposed COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates as potential “Domestic Violent Extremists” (DVEs). This wasn’t mere rhetoric—the DVE designation grants federal agencies expanded surveillance and investigative powers against targeted individuals, according to intelligence records recently declassified and obtained by Public and Catherine Herridge Reports.
But there’s more: One of the most powerful figures at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has admitted she refused the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine while pregnant—even as her agency promoted it as “safe and effective” for all pregnant women.

The co-founder of ChatGPT maker OpenAI proposed building a doomsday bunker that would house the company’s top researchers in case of a “rapture” triggered by the release of a new form of artificial intelligence that could surpass the cognitive abilities of humans, according to a new book.
Ilya Sutskever, the man credited with being the brains behind ChatGPT, convened a meeting with key scientists at OpenAI in the summer of 2023 during which he said: “Once we all get into the bunker…”
A confused researcher interrupted him. “I’m sorry,” the researcher asked, “the bunker?”

Readers will note the odd implication that the level of serious criminal behaviour at any given time should somehow conform to the amount of prison space you have at that time. As if the moral gravity of a criminal act, and likelihood of recidivism and danger to the public, should be determined by whether or not you can be bothered to build another dungeon.

Telegraph- Trump announces 50pc tariffs on EU
“The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with,” he wrote.
“Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50pc tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States.”
