Trudeau?s Prorogation of Parliament is a Mistake He Must Be Allowed to Make Fri Jan 10, 2025 13:18 | Dr James Allan
Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

The Significance of Jordan Peterson Fri Jan 10, 2025 11:00 | James Alexander
Jordan Peterson should make his mind up about Christianity, critics say. Prof James Alexander disagrees: he's a profound Jungian explorer who wants to help a secularised world see why Christianity still matters.

Irish ship to join flotilla that will attempt to breach blockade in late May
John Ging, the Irish-born head of the UN humanitarian agency in Gaza - the UNRWA - demanded yesterday that the international community should break the Israeli siege of Gaza by sea.
 John Ging calls for a smashing of the blockade of Gaza In an interview with a Norwegian newspaper, Mr Ging said: The international community must shoulder its responsibility on this issue, and look for practical ways to break the siege, leaving the statements aside, because there is a possibility to break the siege.
He continued: We recommend the world to send ships to the shores of Gaza, and we believe that Israel would not stop these vessels because the sea is open, and many human rights organizations have been successful in previous similar steps, and proved that breaking the siege on Gaza is possible.
Mr Ging blamed both Egypt and Israel for the continuation of the blockade on Gaza, asking, "How can Israel evade the responsibility of the siege, and how Egypt would not agree to show flexibility in order to bring aid to Gaza?"
He added, "It is time for the international community to bring aid by sea as it did in Haiti."

IRISH SHIP IN FLOTILLA TO BREAK BLOCKADE IN LATE MAY
John Ging's remarks come in advance of a major seaborne effort in late May by grassroots activists to break the blockade on Gaza.
Irish human rights activists will participate in this attempt and an Irish cargo ship - currently berthed in Dundalk - will form part of the flotilla. This ship - the MV Linda - is to be renamed the MV Rachel Corrie in memory of the international solidarity activist murdered by the Israeli army.
On 24 May, eight ships will converge in international waters near Cyprus before proceeding to Gaza with humanitarian supplies for those under siege. It is unclear at this stage how the Israeli navy and military will react but those travelling are determined to breach the blockade and land the much-needed aid.
Several Irish human rights activists and politicians will participate in the flotilla.
