General News
Masada shall not fall again!

Every generation has witnessed the oaths of free men and women maintaining vigilance for the survival and success of liberty. Defenders of the Spanish Republic swore “No Pasaran!” They shall not pass! The fascists shall not pass. The valiant souls of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters staved off Nazi might longer than any national army and swore that, “Yet one day our time will come!” The challenge of a brave, young American president standing in West Berlin and looking east daring Soviet tyrants that i...

West End News
Israel at 60

If the Jewish people are the canary in the mineshaft of civilized history, Israel is the litmus test of the ability of western civilization to survive. It is the frontline member of the family of free nations facing the existential challenge of Islamist fundamentalism. It may very well be that as Israel goes so goes the west. It is folly to think that if only we are accommodating today’s enemies of freedom will leave us alone. The evidence of that is long and bloody. London, Madrid, Besl... Full Story

Two more hearings are scheduled later this month in the Town of Mount Royal and Hampstead.The EMSB cr... Full Story



Sports
St. Leo’s season ending revue

The St. Leonard Figure Skating Club’s 39th annual ice revue was performed to standing room only crowds on Friday and Saturday evenings and a Sunday afternoon matinée at the Martin Brodeur Arena. The theme of the show was Mirror-Mirror where the skaters reflected on what they had learned over the course of the past season. Everyone got in on the act, from the youngest members to the seasoned competitive skaters of St. Leonard.



Entertainment
A musical 'call to remember'

When it comes to the Holocaust, it’s often difficult to discuss God or the victims’ suffering. But Toronto violinist and composer Ruth Fazal addresses these topics head-on in her large-scale classical work Oratorio Terezin, which was performed last Sunday at Salle Wilfrid Pelletier at Place des Arts.The Montreal premiere, presented as a Vanier College Foundation Benefit Concert, united about 220 voices with the sounds of a full orchestra, all guided by acclaimed conductor Iwan Edwards.Fazal wrot...
