A Winnipeg cafe owner and her family were believed to have been attacked, with the café trashed and anti-Semitic graffiti, sparking community shock and an outpouring of support. Police, however, say the incident was staged and have charged Oksana Behrendt, Maxim Behrendt, and Alexander Behrendt with public mischief. The family maintains their story, insisting they were victims of hate, and speaking on CBC Radio after the charges were filed. They described themselves as targets and said they did not stage anything, with statements like “In this moment, somebody grabbed me” and “They can find any evidence against anybody.” They also expressed that their business and home were under threat and emphasized their belief that the attack was real. Police maintained that the incident in Winnipeg was staged and that there was evidence of a crime, though not a hate crime. The cafe’s interior still bore signs of investigation as officers worked the scene. The backlash was swift: a Jewish LGBTQ advocacy group moved out of the building, and there was broad concern that the alleged stunt could undermine support for legitimate hate crimes. Community leaders and residents described feelings of betrayal and worry about future incidents, with comments such as “This is a betrayal of the community and a betrayal of also the police” and concerns that people might doubt genuine cases in the future. Court records show the Behrendts faced lawsuits over debts, and the family denied staging the incident for financial gain. They insisted they did not deserve judgment based on what they say is their truth, stating, “I don’t want people to judge us wrongly because we didn’t do it.” The charges were upheld by the court, and the broader community expressed disappointment and anger about the situation. Meanwhile, excerpts noted that hate-crime cases in Canada had risen to an all-time high in 2017, with nearly 2,100 incidents—a 47% increase from the previous year. Attacks on Jewish people accounted for 18% of all hate crimes, with attacks on Muslims a close second. Other items mentioned included international incidents: in Israel, police announced the arrest of an 18-year-old American-Israeli behind a series of bomb threats targeting Jewish communities worldwide; authorities said he used the Internet to mask his location, and the suspect faced a medical examination and legal scrutiny. In North York, a 67-year-old man, Avram Babrovsky, faced arson charges for allegedly setting a fire inside a synagogue, with a history of using his own access card to gain entry. In Schenectady, a man was accused of spray-painting swastikas on his own home, later charged with falsely reporting an incident and harassment. In West Bloomfield, Michigan, police credited technology for solving a case in which Sean Sammett allegedly fabricated an attack on leaving a synagogue; investigators found inconsistencies in his account, including elevated heart rate on an Apple Watch prior to the claimed assault, and evidence suggested he stabbed himself with a knife and used bloody tissues. Sammett was charged with filing a false police report, with authorities noting the impact on real victims and the community’s sense of safety. In Brooklyn and Manhattan, authorities reported 56-year-old David Haddad, who is Jewish, as the suspect in a string of antisemitic messages and swastika incidents, with additional phone threats to kill Jews. In Vancouver, a defamation suit was filed against HillelBC by UBC’s Social Justice Center over “iHeartHammas” stickers on campus; the stickers had circulated during a walkout for Palestine and a contractor who helped distribute them had been terminated. UBC stated it would not comment on the suit, and RCMP said no charges were laid after investigation. Additionally, Amsterdam’s mayor walked back the use of the term pogrom after violence following a match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, amid political fallout from comments by a government official blaming Moroccans for the unrest. A separate report discussed viral video miscaptioning of footage from Amsterdam, showing Maccabi Tel Aviv fans fighting in a way that media outlets had miscaptioned as Jews being attacked; fact-checkers confirmed the video actually showed Maccabi fans chasing a Dutch man, and several outlets issued corrections.

We begin tonight with the horrific discovery at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. They would shave our heads and beat the hell out of you. These are crime scenes. The residential schools was a genocide of our people. 215 children were found in unmarked graves. The federal government is ready to dispense $10,000,000. $8,000,000. $27,000,000 to find unidentified burial sites. We will follow the evidence. We will follow the science. We are here for truth telling. Neotribal elites are pretending that it's been found that there's 215 children. There's a difference between murders and children dying in the building. There's no list of names of missing children at any of these schools.

After the City Council meeting, I urge you to leave my city. Mr. Kelly, you are a pandemic.

Canadian Parliament's House speaker is under fire for honoring Jaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian-born SS collaborator, with a standing ovation. Hunka served in the 14th Waffen SS Grenadier Division, which fought against the Soviets. The invitation and honor have sparked global outrage. Jewish groups criticized the welcome, while others questioned the speech that lauded Hunka as a fighter against the Russians. Moscow called the invitation an insult, and Poland condemned the whitewashing of Nazis. A Canadian opposition figure demanded a personal apology from Prime Minister Trudeau. Hunka openly admitted his involvement in the SS division, which was set up by German forces. According to reports, this division was notorious for burning down Polish villages and murdering civilians. It's been reported that Canada has a history of providing asylum to Nazi collaborators after World War II.

The speaker's decision to resign due to lack of trust and embarrassment among parliamentarians and Canadians. It impacted various communities, including Jewish and Ukrainian, and tarnished Canada's reputation. Politicizing the issue only worsens the hurt felt by these communities. Moving forward, parliamentarians must elect a new speaker to restore trust and dignity in the house and regain Canadians' trust.

In the House of Commons, the speaker apologized for honoring a Ukrainian veteran who was later revealed to have fought for the Nazis in World War 2. The speaker should step down, and the prime minister's office should explain their involvement. People quickly found out about the incident online. This is unacceptable and insulting, especially on the eve of Yom Kippur. The Liberal Party will lose support if this continues. It was lazy and put many people in a bad spot, including Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Sincere apologies and action are needed to address this international embarrassment.

I used to love Canada, especially Vancouver, but I won't go there anymore because of the current leadership. The country is heading towards tyranny with oppressive laws and erosion of rights. People there need to laugh, but they're getting caught up in hate speech laws due to their kindness. Compelled speech leads to communism enforced by violence. Canada used to be nicer than America, but now it's a scary place.

Speaker 0: You can't stop me from talking. No. Speaker 1: I'm talking about something. His behavior is a liability. Speaker 2: You can't tell me that. Speaker 1: You're creating a huge issue for yourself. Arrest me. Speaker 0: Please come forward. You have 4 minutes. Speaker 1: I'm here to comment on the council receiving money. It should have been publicized earlier. Mayor Rep sits on the council board, which is inappropriate. City manager Freed fled his house out of fear. He was involved romantically with the victim. His behavior is a liability to the city. Speaker 0: You can't stop me from talking. Speaker 1: I get my 4 minutes. Speaker 0: How does this relate to James Freed's behavior? Speaker 1: His name was in the police report. His behavior is a liability. Speaker 2: You can't arrest me. Speaker 0: They can't actually leave. Speaker 1: I am a resident. They cannot stop me. Speaker 0: Why this?

I will apologize to Canadians, Jewish people, and Ukrainians for inviting a controversial speaker. The person responsible has resigned. We regret clapping for him, as it dishonored Holocaust victims and hurt many groups. With fewer survivors, we must remember the Holocaust. Canada is sorry for the situation it caused for President Zelensky and Ukraine. It's concerning that Russia is using this mistake for false propaganda.

Ansel from the community asks Frances Widdowson about a press release regarding unmarked graves at Kamloops Indian Residential School. Council members dismiss her question due to her controversial past and refuse to engage in discussion. Widdowson persists, questioning if spreading misinformation is acceptable. The council avoids answering and moves to adjourn the meeting.

Councilperson Brian Webb caused controversy when he publicly announced on social media that he now identifies as a lesbian woman of color. Many people were upset by this claim, as they felt it was mocking and disrespectful to these communities. Calls for Webb's resignation were made due to the offensive nature of his post. In response, Webb defended himself, stating that he was serious about his identity and that others had no right to question or demand anything from him.

No one recognized what was happening, which compounds the grave error and makes it painful. The former speaker acknowledged his mistake and stepped down. This is incredibly painful for everyone and has hurt many people in Canada, especially the Jewish community. It has also damaged and harmed the brave people of Ukraine and the Ukrainian president.

The prime minister has not firmly supported the bill, citing a difficult balance regarding limits on speech. Despite inquiries, no clear stance has been provided by key ministers, raising concerns about the lack of decision from the Liberals since the bill's introduction a month ago. It's emphasized that inciting hate, such as residential school denialism, is not free speech and poses a threat to survivors who deserve protection from violence. For true reconciliation, the prime minister and relevant ministers must prioritize the safety of survivors and their communities. Urging them to read and support the bill quickly is essential for progress.

Speaker 0: I mean, Hezbollah, you know, bombed the embassy in, in Beirut and, including many Americans. So, I just feel that's quite inappropriate. Speaker 1: You are an Islamophobe. And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city because you are not somebody who believe in coexistence.

We apologize for any past church actions contributing to current hate. Spokane leaders are alarmed after a pride crosswalk was set on fire. City officials gathered to support the LGBTQ community. Vandalism is escalating to violence, showing the need for love and unity.

I regret using strong language towards intolerant protesters, not everyone in the protest. I believe in calling out hateful language. I want to encourage vaccination but respect individual choices. The polarization and toxicity were fueled by misinformation. Canadians need to listen, talk, and remember we are in this together as citizens.

There are calls to reopen a report on Canadian veterans who fought with the Nazis. The government will focus on next steps in the house and be thoughtful about any further actions.

Frances Widdowson, who co-wrote a book casting doubt on the harmfulness of Canada's residential schools, spoke after indigenous leaders called her appearance harmful and painful. Widdowson, a former professor fired from Calgary's Mount Royal University after comments on residential schools and Black Lives Matter, authored a book contesting evidence of unmarked graves. Widdowson compares the situation to the satanic panic, claiming people's memories are influenced. She won't say who invited her or if she's being paid for her travel costs.

The minister accused of painting Canadians as Nazis refuses to apologize for a vetted Nazi. The descendant of Holocaust survivors criticizes the distortion of history. The government house leader deflects blame, stating the speaker invited the individual and took responsibility. The speaker resigned, which was deemed honorable and necessary.
