cross-posted from: https://biglemmowski.win/post/5838704

The party did not comment on its reasons for parting ways with Loyola. Loyola has not responded to request for comment.

The party's decision to drop him as a candidate comes after the National Post reported they had found a video from 2009 in which he appears to be praising Hezbollah and Hamas at an anti-NATO protest. Both are listed as terrorist groups in Canada.

Norwegian government approves increased $7.8 billion Ukraine aid for 2025 (kyivindependent.com)
 

The decision follows a March 6 agreement among Norway's parliamentary leaders to boost support by 50 billion kroner ($4.6 billion) on top of the previously allocated 35 billion kroner ($3.29 billion).

"We are tripling our military support," Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg said, adding that the funds would be spent abroad to avoid putting pressure on Norway's economy.

What's that expression?

'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 50,000 times I become a rabid terrorist supporting gullible rube'.

Lol, I mean, the link you provided... to wikipedia... says they've been 'accused' of being right-wing or non-partisan so I guess take your pick who to believe? Their mission statement seems pretty respectable to me.

Hamas suspected of manipulating Gaza death toll, research shows (www.euronews.com)
 

Some 3,400 previously identified deaths from its August and October 2024 reports can no longer be found in the PDFs released by the ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between combatants and civilians.

At least 1,000 children are among those no longer on the list, according to two research reports, which corroborated each other's findings.

The discrepancy has made researchers concerned about the possibility of numbers being intentionally inflated by Hamas, especially since the health ministry’s figures are widely reported in international media and seen as relevant by the likes of the UN, and triggering widespread social response and even political developments.

I am a younger Canadian and want to put more thought into investing, and investing in Canada. What would you recommend? in c/[email protected]

A house is always worth a house.

It was this tautology I took issue with. I do agree that there are many housing related ways to invest that are far less susceptible to market manipulation.

Except when the bubble bursts, or the market turns.

Buying a house now just before an election, where the subsequent Government will almost certainly take drastic steps to alleviate the housing crisis, is begging to lose significant value to depreciation.

Buy a house to have a home? Absolutely. Buying one solely as an investment? I'd wait a year to see how the dust settles first.

If you were really curious you might have bothered to read the actual article. You would then know that the HJS is only one commenter in a list that also includes the Telegraph, and Honest Reporting within it. All of which are rated as right-leaning biased, but at least HonestReporting gets a "mostly-factual" from MBFC. The published data being criticized is from Hamas (and always has been).

The bias is good to be aware of, but the factuality is critical. Considering a left-biased Euronews published the same report I suspect there is some truth to the core facts being discussed.

Hundreds gather in Buffalo for cross-border rally against Trump’s tariffs (www.theglobeandmail.com)
 

Shortly after Donald Trump announced details of his global tariffs Wednesday, a few hundred Americans gathered in the pouring rain on a pedestrian bridge in Buffalo and sang their northern neighbours’ national anthem.

The protest, held in the shadow of the Peace Bridge that connects the two countries, was meant to send a message to both Washington and to Canadians across the river – an affirmation that not all Americans support Mr. Trump’s economic and rhetorical attacks on Canada.
