Wake Up, Canada! The Jihadists are HERE!

This week, the Pinizzoto children, Domenic and Dani, along with their mom, Marisa, will bury their dad, Marc Pinizzoto.

Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto was shot and murdered last week while doing his duty as a member of the Toronto Police Force.

An 18-year veteran of the force, he was only 43 years old.

Pinizzoto was the 413th police officer killed on the job in Canada since 1960 … but his death was different … very different.

Most police fatalities have occurred attending domestic disputes, as a result of traffic mishaps, dealing with mentally ill miscreants or confronting desperate robbers, drug dealers, gangsters.

However, evidence is mounting that Constable Pinizotto was shot by an alleged gun-for-hire, who police were trying to arrest for a terrorist shooting attack on the US Consulate in Toronto last March.

A terrorist? Working for a foreign power? Operating in Canada?

In fact, the accused is also a suspect, along with another man still being sought, in “several shootings” at Toronto-area synagogues as well.

The alleged shooter is now recovering in hospital from several wounds suffered after Constable Pinizzoto was fatally wounded and his partner fired back.

The investigation is ongoing, but what is being revealed … even in the early stages … should shock Canadians!

“In May, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed documents alleging that an an Iraqi national was behind the consulate shooting and had inspired similar attacks around the world,” the Globe and Mail reported Friday.

“The Iraqi national, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, set up an online terrorist organization with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, U.S. prosecutors allege in court documents.” (You can read the full article here: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-us-consulate-shooting-march-toronto-police-charge-man/)

“As part of the probe, the FBI says it obtained a March 20 audio recording in which Mr. Al-Saadi boasted that his “people” were responsible for attacks in Canada against “the consulate and the Knesset,” the Globe reported.

“In an affidavit filed in court, FBI special agent Kathryn McDonald said she believes Mr. Al-Saadi was referring to the March 10 consulate attack in Toronto, and that his use of the word “Knesset” refers to an attack on a synagogue, rather than the Israeli parliament.”

Nor is Iran’s IRGC the only foreign terrorist group now reportedly at work or having active supporters in Canada.

“Hamas memos show Canadian-funded charities worked with terror group, NGO says”, read the headline in The National Post in May.

“According to a report by an Israeli NGO, Hamas’s own internal memos show it has been working in tandem with Canadian government‑funded charities and non‑governmental organizations. The documents, which the Israeli army says it seized during its Gaza counteroffensive, detail how the terror organization allegedly infiltrated and exploited international NGOs operating in the Strip.”

One of the organizations was awarded $6.5 million in 2014, almost $10 million in 2019 and $210,000 in 2020 by Global Affairs Canada. (Read the details here: https://nationalpost.com/news/hamas-memos-show-canadian-funded-charities-worked-with-terror-group-ngo-says)

In March, Global News reported that that RCMP and CSIS were investigating  a Vancouver company accused of ties to Hezbollah. The US has already sanctioned the firm: Canada has not. (Details: https://globalnews.ca/news/11745676/rcmp-csis-reviewing-vancouver-company-hezbollah/)

Canada had better wake up!!!

The evidence is growing that shows Iran, the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah are now operating here, or have active Jihadist supporters in Canada, sowing discord in society, stirring up anti-Semitism on campuses and increasingly carrying out violence in our communities.

And although their current focus is on destroying Israel, true Jihadists have much more lofty goals; strict Islamic regimentation; Sharia law; restricting women’s participation in society; abolition of homosexuality; and, subjugation, conversion or death of infidels .. especially Western world Christians and Jews.

Seems to me the Jihadists are already here:

“The year 2026 is already on track to be the most violent year for the Jewish community in recent memory, ” B’nai Brith Canada reported in May.

The Jewish fraternal group reported more than 6,800 anti-Semitic incidents in Canada in 2025.

“These brazen attacks on Jewish Canadians are a sign of a crisis of antisemitism that has spiralled out of control,” said Simon Wolle, B’nai Brith Canada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Violence such as this, which has escalated from targeting synagogues to targeting Jewish people directly, does not occur in a vacuum. It is what happens when governments fail to act despite mounting evidence that antisemitism is becoming more normalized and dangerous.”

The investigation, charges, trial(s) of those involved in the shooting murder of Constable Pinizzoto may expose WHO overseas is organizing and financing many of organized Jihad-supporting “protests” and increasing violence in Canada … and HOW they’re stage-managing the growing discord.

That may not be enough to console the Pinizzoto family; but exposing the Jihadists operating in Canada will help protect our Canadian family.

NHL: Why a Canadian Team will NEVER Again Win the Stanley Cup

Your calendar has a flaw if it says no special Canadian historical event happened on June 9.

That’s wrong. On June 9, 1993 the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup and lifted it high, as millions of Canadians celebrated from coast to coast to coast!

Sadly, that was the last time a Canadian team will ever win the Cup.

Since then, we have dreamt about it happening again; we have cheered on our favorite team each season; we have united behind any remaining Canadian team after our own falls in defeat … and then, we sigh and mourn when an American team hoists the cup.

Team coaches, managers, sports “reporters’ and pundits have parroted the usual cliches at the end of each season: our teams are young, but rebuilding; a new coach will change everything; we’re making trades that will improve our goal-scoring; and, there will be terrific prospects ahead in the draft.

For 33 years now!

And our broadcasters repeatedly remind us “This is OUR beautiful game!”

But Canadian teams will never again win another Stanley Cup … and here’s why:

Too many of our best players …after years of being trained, experienced and becoming strong goal-scorers, even stars, for Canadian teams … left us for American teams!

Remember Pavel Bure, Roberto Luongo, Wayne Gretsky, Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, Brendan Shanahan, Mark Messier, Matthew Tkachuk, Mitch Marner, even the venerable Tim Horton? Poof, all of them in their prime, left Canadian teams for the US!

Of course, there are differing reasons why any professional trained and successful individuals in Canada might move south: better career opportunities (for hockey players, to win the Cup!); team trades; climate; lifestyle; to be closer to relatives; and, money.

The NHL does have a salary cap: reportedly $20.8 million per player in the 2026-2027 season, but let’s keep it real … some US franchises are just richer than others, can pay more higher salaries and offer more lucrative off-season promotional/sponsorship/endorsement opportunities.

Now the Montreal Economic Institute has identified another incentive that draws Canadian stars to the stars and stripes: TAXES!

“Professional athletes have short careers and therefore a limited window in which to earn income through their salaries,” observes Vincent Geloso, senior economist at the MEI. “This creates a strong incentive to play where taxes are lowest.”

“Five of the last six Stanley Cups have been won by a team from a state with no personal income tax.”

According to the MEI study:

“On a yearly salary of $750,000, a player on the Montreal Canadiens pays $364,312 in taxes, an effective tax rate of 48.5 per cent. For a player on the Panthers or the Stars, for example, this tax bill drops to $234,520, for a rate of only 31.2 per cent. That’s a difference of more than $129,000 per year on the same salary.”

“The NHL’s salary cap is based on gross salary rather than net salary. In practical terms, this means a team in a state with no income tax can offer exactly the same contract as a Canadian team while allowing the player to keep much more money in his pocket,” the Economic Institute pointed out.

Mitch Marner’s 8-year contract with the Las Vegas Golden Knights totals $96,000,000 US … in a state that has no state income tax.

Of course, he really wants that Stanley Cup ring. But even without one, surely it would be a lot easier to console himself with the loss down south!

No wonder so many Canadian team stars have headed south … making it MUCH for difficult (impossible?) for a Canadian team to ever again with the Cup. (There are 19 Canadian players on the two current Cup finalist teams.)

I’ll still pull for a Canadian team … ANY Canadian team.

Even though the deck is stacked and I know we’ll NEVER again take home the Stanley Cup!

Pass it on …
