🚨BREAKING: I officially tabled the Stand on Guard Act.
This bill would clarify the legal standard for self-defence to add a clear presumption that when someone knowingly and unlawfully enters your home, the force you thought necessary to defend yourself and your family is presumed to be reasonable, unless the facts show otherwise.
Your home should be your safe place, not the place where the law turns against you for protecting the people you love.

Those who claimed the Flydubai incident was a false-flag operation should be ashamed. Everyone in the UAE is proud of Captain Smit, the Indian pilot, for saving lives.
Saving lives is the greatest act of all.
Thank you, Captain Smit, your scars heal our wounds.

Here's CBC in one headline.
The "Palestinians" were actual terrorists, carrying machine guns to kill civilians with. But you'd never get that from the headline or the cutline.
They are just the worst news organization. The worst.

Our thoughts are with all members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the families impacted by the tragic fire at CFB Wainwright. We stand with the military community as they navigate this profound loss, and we honour the lives impacted by this tragedy.

The exhibit makes it sound as if the first interaction with Palestinians and Israelis was akin to the Huns, invading a new land and scooping it up as their own. But the displacement of Palestinians was not a condition of the formation of the State of Israel. Leaving out the context of a war launched by Arab states and Palestinian militias after they rejected the UN partition plan, and the invasion of what was the newly declared State of Israel, is a choice the museum needs to own. nationalpost.com/opinion/ter…

The remaining Flotilla members held for a month by Libyan militias have been released. They were held at black sites cut off from contact. This militia is notorious for torture, forced confessions, executions and hostage taking. Yet no 24 hour coverage or enquiries. We know why.

Emergency Task Force Constable Marc Pinizzotto #10049, your watch has ended.

Iran has walked away from talks on a deal that would give them $300 billion in investment because it’s more important to them to occupy Lebanon with a terrorist militia that kills Israeli civilians. There is no partner for a favorable deal. It is time to end the regime. It chose.

Dear @realDonaldTrump
If Iran did not want Hezbollah to fire at Israel.
Hezbollah would not fire.
Iran signs deal.
Tells Hezbollah to attack
Israel responds
Iran claims ceasefire broken.
U.S. pressures Israel
Israel gets blame
Iran wins more concessions
STOP BEING STUPID!

What exactly is the Iranian Hezbollah resisting? There wasn't a single Israeli soldier in Lebanon, Gaza, or Iran before October 7. All three attacked Israel and now whine that Israel took the fight back to the aggressor despite being outnumbered 10:1.
Lawrence Gridin retweeted
Funny how when Israel is attacked it's Hezbollah, but when Israel fights back It's Lebanon...

For a second day, we lined the route to the Office of the Chief Coroner in honour of sacrifice and service to our community by a police officer trying to make their community safer. Today, we saluted our own Emergency Task Force Constable Marc Pinizzotto who was taken from us far too early.
Lawrence Gridin retweeted
Today, we mourn the loss of Constable Marc Pinizzotto.
“No words can capture the impact on Marc’s family, who expected him to come home today. We as a Service will support them and each other,” Chief Myron Demkiw said. “This loss will have a profound impact on the Toronto Police Family. Our Service, our members, and all members of the larger policing family are deeply saddened.”

I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of OPP Provincial Constable Tarun Bali, who was killed in the line of duty today while serving in Hearst.
On behalf of the people of Ontario, I extend my sincere condolences to his family, loved ones and OPP colleagues. We honour his courage, service and sacrifice.
