The data shows that despite Poilievre’s constant complaints that the media go easy on his Liberal opponents, the opposite is true in this election campaign.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is a Zionist lobby group that has a stated priority of “strengthening the Canada-Israel Friendship.” It has aimed to do so in several ways, including lobbying MPs and taking them on fully paid trips to Israel. I’ve published several articles on CIJA’s activities since 2022, including a list of the 10 MPs most lobbied by CIJA and a breakdown of MPs CIJA has taken to Israel.

Israeli occupation forces arrested Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, this week after he was brutally attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers at his home in the occupied West Bank. Shortly after the attack, Ballal’s Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham posted on X: “Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took [Ballal].”Ballal and two other Palestinians were released from Israeli detention on Tuesday.

It might sound hard to believe, but a London-based bookie had a hand in sparking Canadian media’s early fascination with Prime Minister Mark Carney. The year was 2011, and the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had just resigned after being charged with attempted rape in the United States.

Carney already backtracked yesterday, but that doesn't mean anything to Israel's lie machine. This is actual foreign interference.
Canada has always sided with civilization. So should Mr. Carney. But instead of supporting Israel, a democracy that is fighting a just war with just means against the barbarians of Hamas, he attacks the one and only Jewish state. Mr. Carney, backtrack your irresponsible
RT @jasontoney_: Mark Carney denied there's a genocide in Gaza and then did a "hip flip" with Nardwuar.
I asked Global Affairs Canada to confirm if it is true that military exports to support Israel's Iron Dome are exempt from current restrictions. They said they have "nothing further to add to Prime Minister Carney’s comments."
Carney just told Global News that in his response to the protestor he did not mean to accept that there is a genocide happening in Gaza, and said Canada's arms export restrictions on Israel do not apply to the Iron Dome. (45 minute mark) https://t.co/LIkRdqQpXN
