November 2025 I was sickened and disgusted by the Palestinian flag raising ceremony at Nathan Phillips Square on Monday. Besides the sick irony in that the square is named after Toronto’s first Jewish mayor, it was alarming to see supporters standing on the elevated platform where the flagpole sits, shouting “Free, free Palestine” and “From …

November 2025 Re: “Unvarnished Hatred” (Brian Passifiume, Toronto Sun, 11 Nov): A rather disturbing video was posted by independent journalist and lawyer Caryma Sa’d, showing a group of pro-Hamas agitators marching through a Jewish neighbourhood, is receiving a dismissive reaction from Toronto Police. Their official stance is that this march is to dismiss it as …

November 2025 According to a report in the Ottawa Citizen by David Pugliese on 10 November, Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to draft federal civil servants into the Canadian Armed Forces reserves? Would those be the same civil servants who have a problem coming back to the office 5-days-a-week? Those civil servants?! Seriously?! Did he …

November 2025 I’m continually amazed at the logic of some of the readers of The Hamilton Spectator. In his Letter to the Editor (“This is why we need electoral reform,” 11 November), Chris Cardey disparages our first-past-the-post system of government, claiming that Doug Ford’s government has a “false majority,” and this is why we need …

November 2025 Well, it’s official. The new mayor of New York City is Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old New York State Assemblyman from New York’s 36th State Assembly district. It never ceases to amaze me how the useful idiots on the political left keep tightening the noose around their own necks and other liberal democracies by …

November 2025 So, in the space of a few days, Canada’s “Great White Hope,” Prime Minister Mark Carney, has bowed down to Chinese PM Xi Jinping and apologized to President Donald Trump for the very accurate anti-tariff advertisement featuring former President Ronald Regan. It’s debatable whether it was a wise strategy to produce this advertisement, …

October 2025 To anyone who was aware of the Cold War struggles behind the Iron Curtain, the name Lech Wałęsa is synonymous with the fight for freedom. As the co-founder of the Solidarity trade-union (Solidarność in Polish) in the Lenin Shipyard, in the northern Polish city of Gdańsk, Wałęsa became an international figure in the …
