I've said for years - the resistance inside Iran is real.   They should get all the help that can be provided. Put the regime at risk from as many fronts as possible and Americans will be safer and the jihadists will have to find a new major sponsor of global terror. foxnews.com/world/iran-regim…

And he dared attack Jimmy Pattison and others to kick off his campaign? Staggering hypocrisy
Just now, David Eby confirms that he has his kids in $10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare. Approx. only 10% of BC daycare spots offer $10/day daycare. Most families who want in can't get a spot. As Premier, Eby earns $227k/year. Eby's wife is a doctor. Their household income is likely well over half a million dollars per year. We don't resent British Columbians who are successful (we want more people to succeed). But where there are wait lists, surely a wealthy family like Eby's shouldn't be taking advantage of $10/day daycare. Think about a working single mother? David Eby deserves the spot more than her?

Gross, insulting and absurd all at the same time.
So let me get this straight, @Dave_Eby launches an entire campaign around Buy Canada, then goes and stands in front of Cdn-owned Save-on-Foods and slams BC billionaire owner Jimmy Pattison (who donates 10% of annual wealth per year to charity) as a profit gouger, when Pattison is helping him fund $75m towards the NDP's new St. Paul's hospital through the largest donation by a private citizen to a medical facility in Canadian history? Ooooooookay.

Very well done. Clear messaging for change. Presents and sounds like a Premier for serious times.

No Joke: The Islamic Republic of Iran has been elected by secret ballot to the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s General Committee one week after the same body condemned Iran for non-compliance. Dracula has been put in charge of the blood bank. nysun.com/article/iran-is-gi…

Day 2 of Rally by freedom-loving Iranians outside the UN General Assembly, New York The regime that rules Iran does not represent the Iranian people. It is an enemy of the people and responsible for the killing of Iran's young generation. It is also a threat to peace and security in the region and the world. But the real battle is between the Iranian people and the organized Resistance, on one side, and the religious dictatorship on the other. The people of Iran are determined to end this dictatorship. #FreeIran2026NYRally #UNGA maryam-rajavi.com/en/rally-i…

RIP Andy. Truly a legend.
We are sad to announce the passing of legendary Toronto Sun cartoonist Andy Donato. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Andy recently retired from the Toronto Sun following 55 years of cartooning. This was his last cartoon.

Twenty-five years later, we remember those we lost, those who ran toward danger, and the freedom they stood to defend. We will remember them.

Good to speak this evening with @MelissaLantsman, Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, about the Canadian Government’s outrageous statement on the banning Israeli goods. She reaffirmed the Conservative Party’s strong support for Israel and its firm opposition to the Canadian Government’s intentions in this regard.

EU Nations Reassess UNRWA Funding Over Hamas Ties: A senior State Department official said the USAID Inspector General’s investigation is “prompting other European countries to examine continued funding to UNRWA.” We urge all to join Sweden & Finland in ending support for UNRWA.
BREAKING: 🇫🇮 Finland cuts all funds to UNRWA. Since 2020 alone, Finland donated over $45 million to the terror-infested agency. Now the number is $0. The move follows UN Watch's expose, “The UNRWA Terror Network,” and USAID IG’s investigation into 1500 terror-linked UNRWA staff.

GOOD NEWS: Finland cuts all funding to UNRWA. 🇫🇮 FM Ville Tavio: “The support agreement between Finland and UNRWA during the previous Social Democrat government ends, and I have not granted it an extension.” Funding for Palestinians will go to non-UNRWA agencies such as WFP.

Saddened by the passing of Susan Cartwright. One of the finest public servants I have had the pleasure and honour to work with. An incredible professional woman who made things happen. A remarkable leader. Thinking of her family & friends. May her memory be a blessing. #cdnpoli

It's been 32 years since the AMIA bombing. On the morning of July 18, 1994, Hezbollah terrorists detonated a car bomb at the AMIA Jewish community building in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people. It was the largest terrorist attack in Latin American history, ordered by the Iranian regime. Three decades later, we continue to demand justice for the victims.

Popular far-left French politician Louis Boyard discreetly took off his Rolex worth $50,000 before giving an interview ‘denouncing the ultra-rich.’ Hypocrisy at its finest.

Saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and former @BennettJonesLaw colleague Eddie Goldenberg. He played an outsized role in Ottawa and served Canada with distinction. A great Canadian. My thoughts are with Caroline, his family and many friends. #cdnpoli
