Honored to have my research mentioned by @netanyahu in his address to the UNGA. Israel has in fact implemented more civilian harm mitigation measures (many that no nation has ever even imagined/attemped) than any military in history. The other facts in his speech were also spot on. Israel has not only implemented extraordinary precautions in urban warfare to prevent civilian harm while Hamas has done everything it can to increase civilian harm, there is no genocide, actually the opposite of genocide in Gaza, Israel provided tons of food, water, medical supplies, facilitated immunizations for the entire populations, field hospitals, built new water lines, electricity, got patients to hospitals outside of Gaza, and much more.

So it’s not a national security risk to disclose extremely hypothetical war planning to the New York Times. But it does pose a national security risk to disclose before Parliament a deal he walked away from? On behalf of millions of anxious Canadians for whom this isn’t a Liberal political game, we have many, many questions. ctvnews.ca/world/article/ana…

No matter what you think of BIbi, and the issues of Israel, this is a powerful speech worth watching. For some it will be an important education.
The only speech at the United Nations worth watching. What a leader. Churchillian.

Well done against this idiot antisemite NDP member.
Massive W for @Roman_Baber. Watch as he utterly shuts down anti-Israel activist @EnglerYves with facts and logic. Bravo 👏👏👏

Prime Minister Carney knows full well there is no such risk, but he is evidently prepared to stoop to a level of extreme cynicism and demagoguery, inadvertently exposing his belief that Canadians are dimwitted saps, for political gain.

We should not have to rely on Americans to give us diesel that originally comes out of our own ground. Nor should Canadians be paying 31¢/L more than our Americans neighbours. We need a Diesel Price Relief Action Plan to save you money and put Canada First👇

Delusional Liberal boomer elites compare giving up California wines and golfing in Florida to those who served in WW2 🤦🏼‍♀️🆘🇨🇦 You’re free to be wrong because better people than you served.
Bob Rae on fighting for democracy: "I think it's really important for people to understand that this is the battle of our lifetime. And our grandparents and our parents fought that battle in the Second World War. We had it on easy street for quite a while. And now we've got to fight again."

Peter McKay on Carney's talk of invasion plans with the NYT "I don't think that this is going to move the dial one bit in terms of trying to get Canada back to the trade talks" "So I don't know what domestic political gain was intended here, if at all. But I really find this entire episode quite strange and certainly, in my view, unhelpful in terms of dealing with these trade tariff issues." @PeterMacKay

Even this horrible deal for taxpayers where most of the cost to produce these batteries were covered by taxpayers through 2032 still won’t work. Another @FP_Champagne failure.

Yeh and there is nothing government waste in @MarkJCarney deficits which are double socialist Trudeau’s.
Federal government departments and agencies are set to spend more than $18 million to get their employees to work in the office more often. nationalnewswatch.com/2026/0… #nationlnewswatch via @natnewswatch

Why is Canada paying more for diesel than most around the world, when we have the 4th largest oil supply on earth? Eliminate ALL Liberal taxes on diesel to save you money on food, supplies, and everything else that moves by truck: conservative.ca/cpc/zero-tax…

The PBO released its report on the Carney government’s operating budget fiscal anchor. The PBO formally states, “Attributions of certain tax or spending initiatives as operating versus capital appear contradictory and would benefit from a more formal methodology motivation.” In other words, the Carney government’s definition of operating vs. capital is nonsensical. The PBO also states, “the lack of specific definitions to the initiative level constrained the ability to assess whether the anchor would function as a binding discipline on overall federal spending in practice or serve more as a directional guide as to high-level values for the government.” In other words, the Carney government’s nonsensical definition of operating vs. capital is a smoke screen and creates confusion about what actually is going on with federal finances. Mr. Carney should abandon this methodology and simply stick with long-standing operating and capital definitions under the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) standards. pbo-dpb.ca/en/publications/R… #cdnpoli

Funding terrorists is what Carney does. Iran supports Hamas so @MarkJCarney is following the priorities of those state sponsors of terrorism.
.@GAC_Corporate sent nearly twice as much foreign aid to #Palestine last year as it sent to #Ukraine, $217M, after @MarkJCarney recognized "State of Palestine" & just pledged another $100M: "I'm speaking for Canada now."  blacklocks.ca/palestine-aid-… #cdnpoli @ShuvMajumdar

The government assumed bond rates would fall over the year- that's a problem when the federal government needs to borrow nearly $600b in the bond market this year. Prime Minister Carney's reckless fiscal decisions to double deficits put Canada's finances at risk.

As you look at this projection, remember all the people telling you that Brexit destroyed the UK economy.
The OECD put out its interim economic outlook today. It now projects Canada's real GDP will grow just 0.9% in 2026. That ties Italy and beats only Japan and France in the G7. The US is at 2.2%. The G20 at 3.1%. oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en…

See below. Who speaks for victims and who speaks for criminals? The Tornto Police Association knows.
Things we like to see: the House of Commons discussing parole reform.   This is a priority for us, our members and the families we work with.   It doesn't matter who delivers these changes. @FrankCaputoKTN, @ArpanKhanna, @rubysahotalib, @gary_srp, we just need change. Now.   Everyone's focus should be on prioritizing legislation that respects victims, including the families of slain police officers.
