Spot-on reminder from @GadSaad. We are seeing a global manifestation of "suicidal empathy," where unmodulated guilt has officially replaced logical self-preservation inside our modern civilizational and political landscape.
In light of yesterday's electoral outcomes, let me repost this:

Americans will one day look back at this moment and realize they let the Muslim Brotherhood penetrate the government and take over the country.
SENATOR-ELECT calls JD Vance "Habibi" on election night. "JD, Habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January."

Not a single mention of being an "American" or a "New Yorker" in the official bio of a newly elected State Senator.

Canadian media commentators need to stop pretending they speak for the entire country to cheerlead radical foreign movements. As a professional public relations consultant and media pundit, Laura Babcock claiming that "Canada loves Abdul El-Sayed" demonstrates exactly how classic liberalism has been hijacked by a radical, anti-Western echo chamber. El-Sayed's campaign has faced massive domestic backlash for partnering with ideologues who praised the 9/11 terrorist attacks on American soil, which killed thousands of innocent people, including 24 Canadians. This toxic Islamist Marxist agenda is setting the world on fire, resulting in an unprecedented civil war within his own party that forced Democratic Representative Haley Stevens to publicly drop her endorsement and back his Republican opponent. Promoting a candidate who enables those who attacked Canada's closest ally and killed Canadians is a complete betrayal of foundational values. If Babcock sympathizes with this subversion, her punditry belongs nowhere near national broadcasting networks.

Mark Carney explicitly campaigned on a promise to manage relations with the United States and protect the local economy from escalating tariffs. Instead of delivering on that North American economic strategy, shifting the national focus toward an EU framework completely abandons that core commitment to working families. This transatlantic pivot is a clear avoidance of Canada's most pressing economic priority, which requires resolving the border trade war to protect domestic manufacturing and automotive sectors from U.S. tariffs. Canadians must hold Mark Carney accountable for abandoning his primary campaign promise to protect local industries. Canadians did not vote to join the European Union.
A stronger Canada-EU alliance will deliver more choice and lower costs for families. New export markets for businesses. Greater opportunities for young people to live, work, and study where they want.

Municipal politicians must stop dividing the electorate into narrow religious blocks to secure their own re-election. Sue McFadden thanking the Muslim Neighbour Nexus for endorsing her campaign is a prime example of political tribalism. Allowing religious ideology to penetrate municipal elections is a dangerous precedent that completely manipulates local outcomes. When identity-based voting blocks subvert resident votes within geographic wards, the core legal framework shifts and the entire system of how a city works crumbles.

Italian Canadian leaders are demonstrating exactly what true community solidarity looks like. Signing a public pledge to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Jewish neighbours is a direct rejection of the radical Islamism and raw antisemitism flooding Canadian streets since October 7. The tactics of intimidation seen today where anti-Israel mobs use the Palestinian flag to replace the swastika mirror the dark history of 1930s Germany. Confronting this hostile network cannot be left to one group alone. Defending local communities requires raw, muscle-backed solidarity and absolute clarity on the ground, not passive political politeness.
When we were approached, Victoria and I signed without hesitation, though saddened that it is needed in the first place. Standing against hate directed at our Jewish friends cannot be left to one community alone. We are with you. Today and always. That’s our Canada.

The Canadian federal government formally designated the IRGC as a terrorist entity but completely refuses to enforce the law. Allowing Islamic regime operatives to openly march, wave flags, and fund gun-for-hire shootings on Canadian soil is harbouring a terrorist threat. The Anti-terrorism Act demands criminal prosecution and immediate deportation, not bureaucratic tolerance. True national security requires an immediate end to diplomatic normalization and strategic partnerships with the regime's regional allies, namely Qatar and Turkey. Lock up the proxies, seize their assets, and kick them out of the country.
Iran's terrorist regime is suspected of financing gun-for-hire shootings on Canadian soil. Synagogues, a school, businesses, and the U.S. Consulate targeted. Jewish Canadians and Iranian dissidents are being terrorized. We must identify and deport every IRGC operative unlawfully in Canada immediately: conservative.ca/cpc/protect-…

The exact timeline of Mark Carney’s aggressive push for an EU "associate membership" reveals a calculated career play to land the top seat in Brussels. Look at how the 2029 institutional dates align: β€’ October 15, 2029: The next Canadian federal election takes place, ending the current domestic mandate. β€’ November 2029: Ursula von der Leyen's final term expires, leaving the seat for President of the European Commission wide open. For a career globalist who already ran the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, forcing Canada into a European integration framework isn't economic diversification. It is a calculated resume builder to launch a historic jump to global leadership in Brussels the exact month a Canadian term ends, all while a burning U.S. border trade war is completely ignored. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart. For generations of fans, his portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard was the absolute anchor of the sci-fi universe, bringing unmatched Shakespearean gravity, intellect, and moral clarity to the screen. Beyond the stars, he defined an era as Professor Charles Xavier. A singular, irreplaceable talent whose iconic performances will endure long into the future. πŸ––β€οΈ #PatrickStewart #StarTrek #Picard

A violent home invasion resulting in a father and his two daughters being shot inside a Bridle Path residence is a terrifying indicator of the rapidly deteriorating climate of public safety. When innocent families are targeted with this level of brazen, unchecked violence inside their own homes, it is clear that local security has completely fractured. Welcome to the new world order. #onpoli #TOpoli #cdnpoli

The Canadian federal government spent weeks pouring immense diplomatic capital, work, and single-minded commitment into begging for a European Union "associate membership" status. Now, a direct report from POLITICO Europe confirms that the EU is deeply divided, with multiple European nations completely refusing to even sign off on the label. Chasing validation from a split European bloc while ignoring the burning cross-border trade war with the United States is a catastrophic failure of economic leadership. If even a fraction of that desperate energy had gone into negotiating tariff relief with Washington, thousands of local working families across every domestic industry would not be suffering today. #cdnpoli #onpoli #polqc

Mark Carney is heavily promoting the cultural glamour of Europe, but the federal government remains completely silent on the real structural trade-offs of an EU "associate membership." Every existing European integration framework demands strict compliance. This process requires giving up regulatory sovereignty to align domestic industries with Brussels, tying independent trade policy to European bloc rules, and accepting dispute oversight from international bodies. Swapping Canadian sovereign economic decision-making for a subordinate seat at a European table is a severe blow to national independence. #cdnpoli #onpoli #polqc

There was a time when Canada was the absolute envy of the world. It stood entirely on its own admired globally for its spectacular land, pristine wilderness, rich resources, and a fierce, unshakeable commitment to sovereignty, democracy, and freedom. North America was a distant dream where the impossible became possible, and Canadians were respected for their pride and dignity. Fast forward to today, and EU leaders are arriving in Montreal to discuss wrapping Canada into an unprecedented "associate membership" framework with a distant European bloc. It is heartbreaking to watch a once-independent nation compromise its unique standing and global identity to follow a path that feels like a complete highway to hell. #cdnpoli #Montreal #EU #polqc

Sarah Hagi openly instructing Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford to "give into" dark thoughts on a public platform is a direct incitement to self-harm. Encouraging someone to commit suicide is a criminal offence under Section 241(1) of the Canadian Criminal Code. Targeting a husband and father of young children with this level of malice while facing zero professional consequences or public condemnation from the left has to stop. Hold her accountable. #onpoli #TOpoli #cdnpoli

The Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council (CMPAC) releasing an official statement only congratulating Olivia Chow, Alvin Tedjo, and Patrick Brown tells you everything you need to know. This selective acknowledgment puts the localized block voting strategy on full display. It is highly evident that municipal policy and leadership across the GTA are being targeted by specific, single-issue agendas rather than the collective interests of local taxpayers. #onpoli #TOpoli #cdnpoli

Alvin Tedjo is playing to the crowd, but Mohamad Fakih is staring right at him with the look of an owner watching his investment pay off in real-time. Tedjo gets the title and the microphone, but that smirk tells you exactly who expects to hold the actual remote control at city hall. #onpoli #Mississauga

Cheri DiNovo, an Order of Canada recipient actively celebrating an anti-Western, Islamist-leftist alliance and wanting to "Mamdani" Toronto, is an absolute disgrace. It is disgusting to see public figures with national honours coddle radical ideological agendas that hate everything Canada stands for. Giving highest civic awards to people who actively cheer for the erosion of Western democratic values completely compromises the country. #onpoli #TOpoli #cdnpoli
