Given the upheaval in France, it is fitting to draw attention to developments north of the American border in Quebec, a distinct Canadian province with its own civil legal system, and the only majority French-speaking jurisdiction in North America. A formidable Palestinian agenda has found its way into the Quebec National Assembly under the auspices of a Palestinian-born politician, Ruba Ghazal. She recently won re-election in the riding of Mercier during the Quebec provincial general election on October 5, and she enthusiastically raised a keffiyeh during her oath-taking ceremony.
The keffiyeh is one of the most powerful symbols of the Palestinian ‘resistance’. And she gained the attention of Qatar-owned Al Jazeera…

For some background on Ghazal’s agenda and that of her party, Canadian Jewish News reported this in November 2024:
A Quebec’s National Assembly has rejected a call to debate a motion in solidarity with Gaza brought by Québec Solidaire (QS) MNA Ruba Ghazal. In her motion, Ghazal—who was born in Lebanon to Palestinian refugees—wanted the Assembly to acknowledge statements by United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese, who visited Quebec this week and told a press conference by the Ligue des Droits et Libertés and Coalition du Québec Urgence Palestine, that the world is witnessing “the first colonial genocide broadcast live in Palestine.”
The Quebec government is to be applauded for rejecting Ghazal’s call to debate such a motion in support of the infamous Albanese, whom Ghazal wants to promote as she leverages her political authority. Albanese’s reputation precedes her:
Francesca Albanese’s long record of virulent antisemitism, repeated legitimization of terrorist actors, and flagrant abuse of her mandate have long crossed every acceptable line of conduct for a UN Special Rapporteur.
Democratic governments around the world, including the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, and Austria, have now all called for her resignation.
We call on the Government of Canada to join its democratic allies in formally demanding Francesca Albanese’s resignation, and to take measures here at home, including the removal of all of her reports from Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board approval process.

Ghazal became a founding member of Quebec Solidaire in 2006. Her next goal is to become premier of the province, as the first-choice candidate for the Quebec Solidaire party (QS). Though that is unlikely, she remains ambitious. QS is a leftist, independent party with a resolute pro-Palestinian platform, as well a firm commitment to DEI. Ghazal has “repeatedly cited her own immigrant background as an example of how politics should be more inclusive.”
This is where Quebec Solidaire now stands in the overall power structure of Quebec: Following the Quebec general election that was held on October 5, 2026, the Parti Québécois won the election but fell short of a majority, securing 59 seats (64 are needed for a majority); while the Opposition Liberals have 40 seats. The Conservatives hold 19 seats, leaving Québec Solidaire as the fourth party. Québec Solidaire captured 12.42% of the popular vote, translating into 9 seats in the 127-seat National Assembly. So here’s the picture: because the ruling Parti Québécois (PQ) is five seats short of a majority, Québec Solidaire holds a shared balance of power. The PQ cannot pass legislation or survive a non-confidence vote without the backing of at least one opposition party.
Quebec Solidaire has made significant inroads. Think what its foreign platform means for the traditional values of Canada and of Quebec. Think also what it means for Jews in a country, plagued by surging antisemitism.
Ghazal will likely get powerful pushback in her dream to become premier of Quebec. In 2025, Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge warned that Quebecers need to “wake up to the threat of radical Islamic groups infiltrating society,” while Premier François Legault stated in his inaugural speech that “he has a concrete example of what he describes as an assault against Quebec’s common values…. There is one that is flagrant: what happened at the Bedford school… Listen, radical Islamists who denied young girls from taking physical education courses — that’s not a small matter in Quebec.”
The Quebec Solidaire party frequently aligns with pro-Palestinian advocacy as a matter of course, which has earned it strong opposition from Canadian Jewish groups. Its entire caucus has voted for Palestinian statehood recognition, and is pushing for the province of Quebec to recognize it as well. The party demanded Israeli ceasefire during the height of war in the Gaza Strip, and it opposes the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
Pourquoi ce silence médiatique à propos d’une ingérence irano-qatarie dans les élections au Québec ?
QS a récolté des votes via la campagne “Votons Palestine”, organisée par le terrorisme palestiniste du PYM-FPLP : https://t.co/IYtGNvWp9i— Yves Claudé yclaude (@yclaude) October 20, 2026
**Translation:
Why this media silence about an Iranian-Qatari interference in the Quebec elections?
QS gathered votes through the “Votons Palestine” campaign, organized by the Palestinianist terrorism of the PYM-FPLP:
Ruba Ghazal, a Beirut-born child of Palestinian refugees, sits in Quebec’s National Assembly as a Québec solidaire co-spokesperson. She waves the keffiyeh and demands Quebec shut its Tel Aviv office, putting a foreign cause above the province that took her family in. This is what left-wing fanaticism looks like: imported grievance politics first, Quebec last. https://t.co/edvfm86UtX

The Palestinian cause is the central cause of the Muslim ummah, and it is relentless in drawing support under the banner of human rights. Canada beware.

Whoopee! Thank you ex-PM Trudeau for giving today’s Canadians this legacy of hate through your open borders policies.

Quebec. Has a long history of antisemitism. The Catholic Church controlled Quebec for centuries
I don’t
Know if this still applies but Quebec had two different school systems. One for Protestant and another for Catholics.

The western world is seeing an infestation of foreign born shit holers running and winning office. My concern is their lack of loyalty to their new country and are on a quest to destroy their adopted country. We need to get smarter real soon
Grace Joubarne says
That’s not possibe (getting smarter). The majority of the population has been sucking up fluoride since the 1970s…Harvard proved that dumbs us down 7 IQ points every generation (it cummulative)
gravenimage says
The study published in 2012 by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health reviewed 27 prior studies (mostly from rural China) and found an association between extremely high fluoride levels in water (far above U.S. standards) and lower children’s IQ scores.
This has nothing to do with low flouride levels in the West.
Canada’s IQ levels have not been dropping since 1945, when they started using flouride.
Grace Joubarne says
You are misinformed. Three Harvard studies alone proved fluoridation of drinking water causes massive drop in IQ points and that drop is cummulative over the generations subjected to it.
In addition some US states have now banned fluoridation of water given the landmark US Supreme Court ruling that it causes decreased IQ in children.
Then we have the Physician to 7 presidents (Burk) who said that the studies prove that fluoride causes more cancers faster than another other substance on earth.
Go to FluorideFreePeel.ca to find the evidence.
Also, if you do not want to avail yourself of the extensive scientific evidence of grave harm to children, just look at their teeth to see the lordosis for yourself.
gravenimage says
There is no mention at the site you link to that the Harvard study is about Chinese studies, involving *much larger* amounts of flouride than are used in the West–as I noted.
Standard public drinking water does not cause lordosis. There is no scientific evidence directly linking optimal water fluoridation (typically maintained around 0.7 mg/L in community water supplies) to lordosis.
Only prolonged exposure to extreme, toxic levels of fluoride—usually from highly contaminated natural groundwater or industrial settings over many years—can lead to a rare metabolic bone disease called skeletal fluorosis.
Then, the implication that flouride causes tooth decay is mistaken–in fact, just the opposite.
Recommended Fluoride Levels (0.7 mg/L): Major long-term and national studies—including a 2026 PNAS study tracking over 10,000 individuals from childhood through age 80—found no negative association between standard community water fluoridation and adolescent IQ or adult cognitive function.
High-Dose Studies vs. Tap Water: Studies linking fluoride to lower IQ scores typically involve high fluoride exposure (1.5 mg/L to 4 mg/L or higher, often from naturally occurring geological deposits in countries outside the U.S.), which is double or more than double the level used in U.S. municipal water supplies.
Federal Reviews: The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the American Dental Association note that while high-level exposure can act as a neurotoxicant, there is no evidence that the low levels used in U.S. public water systems (0.7 mg/L) harm brain development or lower IQ.
Finally, it seems that you have no actual problem with Jihad terror–just your hobbyhorse floridated water.
Grace Joubarne says
Obviously I meant fluorosis in my comment — I can’t correct the typo because this comment system does not appear to allow corrections.
And I never said that fluoridation of drinking water causes cavities. I said it does not prevent cavities as claimed and worse, completely disfigures the teeth.
As far as reduction in IQ, look around any City where families have been on fluoridated drinking water for generations.
But the biggest problem with the fluoridation of drinking water hoax, is that it is mass medicating entire populations which is a violation of the Health Care Consent Acts.
No one should be subjected to the interpretation of evidence of others…they should have the enforced right to make their own decisions.
Municipal governments are supposed to maintain the streets and infrastructure…not mediate us based on the self-serving opinions of eugenicists.
gravenimage says
No, it was not clear to me that “lordosis” was actually intended to be “fluorosis”. And the idea that all children who drink floridated water have brown teeth is clearly not the case.
And the claim that IQs in the US have been dropping 7 points a generation since 1945 is clearly not the case, either. This would mean that in the US that the average IQ has dropped 42 points.
Far from having dropped, throughout much of the 20th century, average US IQ scores actually increased by about 30 points. Not saying this is due to flouride, of course, but it belies that claim that IQ has dropped over 40 points.
And no–flouride is not “eugenics”. One can make a case against floridated water, but these false claims do not do that.
And as I expected, *still* nothing from you opposing Jihad. I really am not surprised, though.
Grace Joubarne says
GravenImage: There is no way to reply to your last comment, so here is my reply in a separate comment.
I do wish you would stop adding adjectives and terms I never referred to.
Your comment: . And the claim that all children who drink floridated water have brown teach is clearly not the case. – I never said all children and I never said ‘have brown teeth’
Your comment; … dropping 7 points a generation since 1945. I never said that. I said that studies have shown that there is a drop of 7 IQ points in every generation subjected to fluoridated water.
Re your comment that throughout much of the 20th century, average US IQ scores actually increased by about 30 points is absolutely false and you know that. Not to mention absurd.
Your comment: And no–flouride is not “eugenics”. I never said fluoride was ‘eugenics’. I said it was introduced into the water system by eugenicists after the last great war…in fact the guy who started to fluoridate our water secretly was the President of the Eugenics Society of Canada.
Your comment: And as I expected, *still* nothing from you opposing Jihad. Why would I change the subject?
I am fervently opposed to jihad. But that has absolutely nothing to do with your deliberate misquoting of me. I think you have been drinking too much fluoridated water.
I will not be replying to any more of your nonsense.
gravenimage says
Yes, this is how you reply to a comment.
And yes–fluorosis at its worst does cause brown teeth.
And yes–the US began floridating water in 1945. Ergo, the IQ level in the US would indeed have dropped 42 points in the six generations since then, if they dropped 7 points a generation.
And yes–IQs have actually risen during most of the 20th century:

You may consider this absurd–but it is quit factual.
And that you will be saying nothing against Jihad does not surprise.

If a person is paying any attention, even without reading articles on this site, that one paying attention should be asking “why” are all of these muzzies coming to the America’s and running for political office as if they were still in some far away land of muzzies.
Various groups based on their ethnicity, culture, etc. tend to live close to others of the same *kind*….
I’ve seen this…people from Latin America, speaking their native languages (not all Spanish speaking people speak alike), people from Viet Nam, speaking their native language, cooking the foods they ate at home, etc. are the norm.
muzzies like to live next to each other and take over neighborhoods….but they also are rabid in seeking political offices so they can make the entire city, state and country, into a muzzie slum.
It’s as clear as the nose on a face…..they are taking over wherever they have not already taken over.
Beans🫘 says
Yes you’re right. Look anywhere, it’s the same sorry story. Cry and moan victim to the white peoples and have them vote for you. Take over and begin funneling money and resources to your own. Also, change the geopolitical direction of the country.
One spot I’ll disagree with you is the main goal is simply pillaging whatever they can, the gain of power is a step below the pillaging. They do not care about budgets, state bankruptcy, fiscal responsibility. They will pillage you till you collapse and fortify themselves in their ghettoes with their loot.
Just observe countries like Pakistan Yemen. There are nice homes with diesel generators and their own water trucks. They pillaged everything, took the wealth. They could care less the power lines don’t work or the water is gone, the state is bankrupt and garbage piles up. They got theirs.
Islam has historically ran their civilization on two things. 1. Loot 2. Customs fees and piracy. Once those two became impossible with the rise of the west, they simply disappeared into the desserts and became terrorists.
You can clearly see this same pillaging attitude in the west where they come.

I was hoping that Quebec could become a refuge for French Frenchmen/women who don’t appreciate the islamization of their country. Alas, looks like this option would be closed to them as well

Sharia creep. This time in Quebec.
The infestation of the West continues and unless the West wakes up and realizes that Israel is on the front lines in the battle to retain Western Civilization then much will be lost. Perhaps everything will be lost.

I think there are too many ignorant people taking up space in this country who are unable to discern one religion from another. To them Islam is just another harmless belief system like Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. and conservatives are just getting their underwear in a bind. It really is tragic and reflects negatively on our education system, our churches and our horribly dishonest media. Fortunately a good number of us have our heads screwed on tight and see what’s going on.

Mind telling me what is a “Palestinian born” person? There is no country named ‘Palestine’ nor has there ever been. The concept was born circa 1964 with the expressed written intention to deny Jews the right to live in their Biblical Homeland. Why pursue to spread the myth of ‘Palestine’ and support the idea of wiping Jews out of existence?
