11 people in Australia were killed today by gunmen while they celebrated the first night of Chanukah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Targeted because they were Jews.

As Jewish families around the world, we place our menorahs in our windows. Our message to the world: Light will outlive the darkness.

I hate being bullied by the national media and fans across the country to embrace any team from Toronto as my own.
Why? I'm from Montreal. Nothing in my DNA says "go Toronto!"

On the same day as the NBA arrests, in an environment infected by sports betting, it looked very, very suspect.

you’ll hear people say about their doctor that they “just want someone who will listen” but that’s not really true. what they really want is someone who will diagnose their condition and treat them with a medicine or procedure which has no risks or side effects and costs nothing and who also listens

Absolutely avoid everything US. Don't go to the US. Don't buy anything US. Keep your dollars in our beautiful Canada.
Another one bites the dust. Canadians are voting with their money. Avoid the US as much as possible, avoid Florida altogether.

So the middle class gets a tax cut on Canada Day. Who do they consider middle class? I have seen NOTHING for low income and seniors. You know, the ones that are struggling the most?! How about forcing healthcare transfer payments to be actually used for public healthcare and not private

To no one's surprise, #Habs Lane Hutson is the recipient of the 2025 Calder Memorial Trophy.
Hutson is the first #GoHabsGo player to win the rookie of the year award since Ken Dryden in 1972!

Lost in the hoopla of Montreal failing to clinch the other night was Slaf reaching the 50-point mark for the second-straight year.

Congratulations, Slaf. Here's hoping you surpass last year's total in grand style tonight in your 200th NHL game.

Average Canadians are making a difference to US business.

There were 500,000 less cross border visits in February - but, over 2.2 million Canadians STILL crossed the border that month.

Let's try harder.

Folks complained about Gallagher's contract for years, and from a statistical standpoint, they're right. But you can't place a price tag on heart, loyalty, and mentorship. This man's all-out effort and sacrifice must inspire MTL's young players. It was a helluva game from the new Papa last night.

So Rubio comes to Canada and on Canadian soil the little asshat says Canada should be the 51st state.

Can we stop inviting these turds to our nation?

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Big day tomorrow in Canada - total blackout on all US retailers here (yes, including the “good guys” like Costco and the Canadian subsidiaries). Loads of local and other Canadian businesses to support! Try something new! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
