So sad! I agree 100%. You cannot appease fanatics. Absolute cowards the hypocrites in charge that sold their souls and allowed the Trojan horse and awful ideology to take over western civilization.

I am so glad I don't live in Canada and did not raise my daughters in Canada. The antisemitism I faced in the 1970s was enough to get me to move home to Israel 50 years ago. I never imagined it could get as bad as it is today.

I’m Canadian, and I’m thinking of hiring someone to teach me Hebrew. It will take a while, but I can learn. Canada is in big trouble.

Yes, Canada is in big trouble. I'll be happy to practice Hebrew with you on Zoom if you want.

I don't so I just asked ChatGPT to recommend one and it listed more than one and the important points to consider for each. Then I asked about youtube channels and it came up with a few there too. Great resource, ChatGPT!

This was jihad. They have begun slaughtering Westerners. Truly sad and sickening.

Charlie was a leader in free speech and an advocate for free dialog.

Our "leaders" seem to shy away from such leadership.

As for the comments about elites being quiet I am more of the option that the elites share the extreme thoughts.

While he defended our Jewish nation and its people worldwide by publicly opposing anti semitism, I fear this may have been a targeted attack using a sniper. One perfect shot, unseen, unheard, and the wrong guy arrested after the only voice who could raise enough young voters and campaign money for the votes of the young to turn Right is in perfect range for someone far enough away from the crowd to escape. And the instantaneous voices of the same dems who shouted “we will take this fight to the streets” in opposition to President Trump, as they have been, all simultaneously speaking up against violence? While beatings go on and cities are burning down and being looted? Hmmm… they didn’t so much as utter a word , or not much, about other recent deaths, especially Jewish deaths, done at the hands of public lunatic leftist citizens. But suddenly, at this they all cry out against the violence? Looks guilty as sin to me. Just saying.

Last week I went to a "How do we fix Canadian universities" event.

The only proposed solutions were:

1. "getting back to excellence and standards"

2. giving the universities more $$

We are doomed.

I don't have much hope, the students don't want to learn, the professors are often unqualified and simply want to do the minimum, you would be amazed how many profs I taught with who had never worked in the area they taught, they wouldn't even read the the textbooks they assigned, they would just give high grades to make everyone happy. Administrators tend not to care about learning; they just want to have a degree factory. You'd be amazed at how many university administrators only talk about tuition and money. If you ask students if they're learning anything, they look at you like you are insane. I think post-secondary education needs to stop hiring people with BS credentials, PhDs in sustainability, subconscious bias, and all sorts of credentials where everyone goes, "What does that mean?" I think that truly educated people are those who want to learn, not people who have parked their butts in classrooms.

We need to get back to universities being the place for society's best thinkers, rather than a factory that claims it's there to funnel anyone with a degree into a high-paying job.

The trades are one avenue for that, but the path that's really neglected and discouraged is entrepreneurship.

When eventually the FBI or another LEA finds Kirk's killer I wouldn't be surprised if the killer states their motive was to Free Palestine and to globalize the intifada. And if so the Jew haters will come out en masse to support the killer, moreso than if the killer's motivation was anything other than the Free Palestine and genocide and killing children nonsense.

MAGA is far from perfect. Perhaps though, given the alternative, we should be fans? How bout MCanadaGA?

Thank you for another thoughtful essay!

Eternal peace CK.

Thank you. The worst thing for me is that my daughter is afraid I will be murdered because Islamists have targeted me at the University of Guelph. I think I will be okay but I don't want her to think this.

Horrified to hear this. I could not imagine. Terrible people they are. It's not so bad out West, yet. I wish I had some decent advice. Of course you're not allowed to defend yourself. Keep offending, please. And maybe move out West of the 100th meridian. Best of luck. We're going to win. Good over evil right!!

Agree. But the institutions and law enforcement are cowards. They fear exactly what happened to Kirk. How do the Muslim fanatics control the world?. Exactly like this. It's war against reason and judeo Christianity that created this world. Only war will settle it.

Agree. Out west is safer and shows more reason among a majority of the population and their provincial governments. I think Canada is headed for balkanization to end up as the west, Quebec, laurentian upper Canada set and no idea where the east goes.
