To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Ping!

[Fungi]

You mean there is sanity across the northern border? Feckless fool on the hill, are you listening? Never mind.

[RichInOC]

As an American, I find that incredibly damning.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I think Canada still keeps some reason in their socialism, and realizes that Islamism would be the fatal skunk in the punch bowl, to mix and match a few metaphors.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Too bad Canada’s military is just two snotty kids with BB guns.

[faithhopecharity]

Canada is wonderful but USA government is .... well.... you know.....

pray for America!

[Jet Jaguar]

Ping.

This is complete nonsense and a complete falsehood.

Canada gives $60 million to a year the Palestinian Authority.

The United States gives $3 billion a year to Israel.

Israel has been talking to ‘another man!” She’s ‘seeing other people’ here lately. Can’t really blame her.

“Israel has been talking to ‘another man!” She’s ‘seeing other people’ here lately. Can’t really blame her.”

Please ping me when Canada begins to give $3 billion dollars a year to Israel and pays for the Iron Dome that is protecting the people of Israel at this very moment.

Until then, Canada is just talk and talk does not prevent Hamas missiles from murdering Israeli children.

That settles it. I'm defecting.

I used to believe that Australia was a big supporter of Israel - especially when John Howard was in power and even Bob Hawke (Labor) declared that Australia was a great supporter of Israel - I am not so sure about the previous Labor govt. and I have heard very little from the current conservatives!

[MacMattico]

Go Canada! But I feel ashamed as a US citizen, and I don't see the Muslim hoard being deterred by Canada. (sorry Canadians)

To the extent that that's true, it's the result of having Stephen Harper as PM, IMO. Get back to me if the Libs headed by Trudeau Jr, the shiny pony, form a government anytime soon.

Unfortunately the support for Israel will last only as long as the current government, because the Liberals and NDP are firmly in the “blame Israel for everything” camp. I’m not sure about the average Canadian, although I suspect most don’t care much either way. This Canadian supports Israel, with some reservations, as the only state with anything resembling real democracy, human rights, and freedom of religion in the middle east. The weasels in the Liberal party and NDP are either anti-Semitic themselves, or are too gutless to take on the Muslims and their anti-Semitic leftist fellow travellers in their parties.

I agree. As for the Libs, they have always been experts at riding the fence and doing nothing meaningful either way, but it was all talk. Even as the anti-Israel rhetoric from Liberal regimes was a daily ritual, our military & intel was quietly working hand-in-hand with the IDF and the Mossad.
