The Meatball Shoppe

A conservative Minister once resigned over a $16 orange juice. The Prime Minister spent $116 on 1L of coffee creamer.

In 2005, Israel gave Palestinians exactly what the world demanded: “Land for Peace.” They unilaterally withdrew from the entire Gaza Strip, but got no peace. The IDF forcibly removed every last Jew — even digging up Jewish graves. Gaza was made completely Jew-free, exactly as Palestinians demanded. Israel handed over thriving communities, farms, and hundreds of millions in infrastructure — including productive greenhouses that could have become an economic engine for a Palestinian state. What did the Palestinians do with this gift? They destroyed it. Mobs looted and burned the greenhouses. They ransacked and demolished synagogues. They celebrated with Hamas flags and gunfire. Then, in January 2006, they voted Hamas — a genocidal terrorist organization whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews — into power. By 2007, Hamas completed a bloody coup, threw Fatah members off rooftops, and seized total control of Gaza. The result? - Tens of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli civilians - More than 500 miles of underground terror tunnels - Billions in international aid stolen for war, not welfare - Gaza transformed into a fortified Islamic terror enclave Land for peace was tried — and violently rejected. Everything Israel gave away in 2005 became the launchpad for the October 7 Massacre. This is the ultimate proof: the Palestinian movement has never wanted a state living next to Israel. Its goal has always been the destruction of the Jewish state — in any part of the Land. Important note: The blockade only came after Hamas seized power in 2007 and turned Gaza into a launchpad for war. And when that happened, Egypt joined it too. Disengagement didn’t bring peace. It brought the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

I’m told, the USG has made it clear that if the CDN gov reneges on the contract signed by the Trudeau gov in Jan 2023 to purchase 88 x F35A’s in 4 batches, in order to buy a number of Gripen E’s, then 3 things will happen quickly. 1. LM with the full backing of the USG will launch a lawsuit to recover lost funds. When the Chrétien gov did the same thing with EH101 purchase, the CDN gov paid AgustaWestland nearly $1 billion in compensation. 2. CDN based businesses that exist solely to provide various components for the 3 variants of the F35 will have their future parts orders cut by 50%. This will cost them roughly $1.5 billion in revenue. 3. The USG will notify Saab & the Gov of Canada, that they will veto the export permit for the GE F414 engine, making any sale of the Gripen E to Canada impossible. The Biden admin, threatened this when the sale of the Gripen E to Columbia was announced, the Trump admin followed through with the threat & formally vetoed the use of the engine, which killed the deal. When the Columbia challenge occurred Saab engineers looked at the cost of using a Rolls Royce engine & concluded it would add $3-5 million USD to the flyaway cost to each Gripen E & add 5-8 years to the delivery timeframe while the airframe was modified & new testing & certification was completed. Last point, the RCAF has made clear their position, 1 fighter jet & the best option is the F35A, why exactly should short term politics play a roll in a $20 billion dollar purchase that will not be finalized until long after Trump is not just out of office but likely deceased. Perhaps they should just honour the contract they signed just 3 years ago & as recommended by the very people who risk their lives using the aircraft, no?

Great parade of some eff-wits!

Remember how excited everyone was a year ago to get rid of all these idiotic internal barriers? We flaked out. It was too hard or locally controversial. We are our own worst enemies. Hands down. Trump is simply daring to jab at the wounds we’ve inflicted on ourselves.

Rats make tunnels as well .

Totally agree… cost of downsizing to a condo is absolutely stupid… better to just rent. Problem is older people know what they have to spend to stay in their house and they tend to have/know their friends/neighbours. Easier ( not necessarily the better) the known vs unknown

LILLEY: Canada's economy sputtering into recession with Carney at top torontosun.com/opinion/column…

Canada is a textbook case of how bad policy turns a resource‑rich nation into a declining one: attack energy, overtax work, bury business in regulation, and then act surprised when growth stalls and separatism rises.

Canada 🇨🇦. Trudeau and Carney wanted net zero, and they got it: zero growth, zero jobs, and zero productivity. via Bloomberg

So let me get this straight... Canada is in a recession—the only G7 country currently in one. Unemployment is up. Inflation is rising. Food insecurity is at a record high. Yet the highest proportion of Canadians since 2017 now say the country is on the right track. That's either a remarkable display of optimism—or a sign that many Canadians aren't getting the full economic story from the news they consume.

@mohamadfakih8 All Post dated cheques ! Call your HAMAS buddies and get a loan from those billionaire thieves so you can repay the taxpayer.

Hello everyone, its Mohamad Fakih. Since Tuesday, a great deal has been said about Paramount Fine Foods. Unfortunately, much of the public narrative being presented by the Mayor does not reflect the actual facts. Let me be absolutely clear. This is not a case of Paramount refusing to pay. To demonstrate my commitment to paying the amount, Paramount delivered cheques to the City for the full amount based on the agreed payment terms. I have been actively trying to resolve this matter since December. Since then, the City continued introducing additional conditions and unreasonable demands that made it impossible to reach a final resolution. I have text messages with Mayor Carolyn Parrish that tell a very different story than the one she claims in her statement. Quite honestly, I’m astounded by Mayor Parrish’s handling of this entire situation and the false statements that have been made. Her suggestion that this was some kind of unilateral termination by the City is completely false and we have proof to support this. When I reassumed control of Paramount Fine Foods in 2025, I no longer believed the sponsorship arrangement was viable. Following discussions I personally had with the Mayor, we mutually agreed to end the sponsorship. So that everyone is clear, the outstanding amount connected to this sponsorship was NOT something I personally created or was responsible for. It was an obligation that existed before I returned to lead the company. But because I love this city and respect the taxpayers of Mississauga, I will always be committed to paying the agreed owing amount. I have never waivered. I am not in the business of disclosing confidential communication on social media. But If I need to, I will release these messages because I will not allow a misleading narrative to stand unchallenged. What is deeply disappointing is watching our Mayor publicly target a Mississauga business that has invested millions into this city, created jobs, supported charities, and was honoured with a Key to the City… while threatening to spend significant taxpayer dollars on legal action and prolonging a public dispute unnecessarily, despite our willingness to pay for months. This was a solvable matter. Instead, it was turned into a public spectacle. Mississauga residents deserve honesty and leadership focused on solving problems, not creating public fights. Thank you. #canada #mississauga

COLUMN: Albertans are frustrated with being Canada’s cash cow They make a disproportionate contribution to the wealth of Canada compared to other provinces and in return, got a decade of Justin Trudeau policies that constrained their economy. torontosun.com/opinion/column…

An official letter from the Mississauga Mayor’s Office confirming a $1,600,000 lawsuit against Mohamad Fakih and Paramount Fine Foods completely demolishes corporate public relations damage control. Explicitly stating that the franchise failed to meet basic contractual obligations over an extended period proves that municipal patience reached a total dead end. Rushing to execute this legal eviction right before upcoming municipal elections shows a calculated effort by local leadership to project financial decisiveness after years of passive leniency. Everyday taxpayers are entirely exhausted by well-connected figures parading the prestigious Order of Canada pin while leaving municipal assets defaulted. True accountability cannot be reduced to a performative campaign gesture, and this severe financial non-performance proves that federal honours must be immediately reviewed when an individual's actions bring documented disrepute to the public treasury.

Not science when it’s not real… that’s pseudo-science. I agree … good riddance.

@mohamadfakih8 That’s what you get when you divert funds to terrorists and don’t pay your bills. Feeble attempt to garner public sympathy when everyone knows where your support lies.

After investing millions into the Paramount Fine Foods Centre during our partnership with the City of Mississauga over the past many years, I was very disappointed to see the City's misleading public statement this morning about the end of that partnership. Since buying back control of Paramount last year, I have dedicated myself to ensuring that all of its partners, associates, and suppliers were made whole if anything was owing to them from my time as a minority shareholder. This was especially the case with the City of Mississauga, who we have been ready and willing to pay for over six months. Our team has been diligently and cooperatively working with staff at the City for many months to finalize a mutually beneficial end to the partnership that ensure the citizens of Mississauga are protected and will not bear any burden in connection to Paramount. Those teams have been doing a tremendous job and I am hopeful their efforts are not wasted by the inexplicable decision of City management to announce, without notice and in the middle of negotiations, a one-sided and misrepresentative version of the partnership's ending, several days prior to its end. This raises serious questions about City management's motivations. This was not the actions of a party acting in good faith.

About time the City cut ties with Terrorist/Nazis/Hamas sympathizer @CityNewsTO @mohamadfakih8

It will likely take 10 or 20 years for Canada to recover economically from the breathtaking stupidity of Guilbeault & Trudeau Let's hope we never forget or forgive their betrayal of their Country on the alter of Climate Insanity

@iYantho @Marilyn90436711 @GasPriceWizard You need to educate yourself on socialism and how nationalizing industries ends up destroying economies.

@Marilyn90436711 @GasPriceWizard The worst thing Pierre Trudeau did was cave to Western voters manipulated by oil and gas propaganda. We reversed course on nationalized oil, and now I have to listen to people complain Canada doesn't generate enough money from oil like countries that have nationalized oil

And to think, Canadians voted Liberal/NDP to demolish their quality of life 3 times and capped it off with voting for more of the same, claiming their first 3 misadventures on the Orange Man
