Canada is home to the world’s fourth-largest Jewish population.
“You can expect an increased police presence in the Jewish community,” the Toronto Police Service said in a statement. “This is a proactive measure to ensure the safety and security of the community.” Matina Stevis-Gridneff

Buck the news cycle, remember just the other day.

15.Oct.2025 Trump publicly confirms he has authorised the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela.

How do you *announce* covert operations *publicly*? Ask Trump, who does six unprecedented things before breakfast. #Trump #Venezuela #war #um

The inimitable Cody Johnston of Some More News neurotics his way through the war-again-off-again, conflict between Trump and the Venezuelan fishing industry.

(I can't believe I just used neurotic as a verb.)

Buck the news cycle, remember just the other day.

Noem said, “I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches and entitlement junkies.”

If MAGA were a country, it would be at the top of the list.

Indeed. Does hooch-hound Hegseth even remember where he was when the boat was being bombed? ... being bombed himself, I mean.

Pete Hegseth has no business lecturing anyone on "the fog of war." The fog of hangovers, yes.

"A sickening moral slum of an administration." Never were truer words spoken-- except it isn't an administration. It's a gang of thugs and lowlifes aspiring to be a regime-- the kind of regime that needs changing, like somebody's dirty nappy.

Milei has dismantled gender policies, defunded services for survivors of domestic & sexual violence. Last year, 170,000 people accessed these services. A femicide is committed every 35 hours in Argentina.
