On this day three years ago, Hamas crossed into Israel and murdered, raped and burned its way through communities full of families. Eight of the dead were Canadians. October 7th was never only about Israel. It was an assault on everything free societies stand for: the rule of law, free speech, equal treatment of every citizen, and the idea that we settle our differences without terror. Three years later, people are still glorifying that day on here on our streets. They march under the flags of terrorist organizations our own government has banned. They burn our flag and chant death to Canada outside Parliament. This spring in Montreal, they strung up effigies by the neck in a public square. Meanwhile, foreign agents operate with near impunity. Police stand and watch. And too many of our leaders treat it as a public-relations problem rather than what it is: an assault on Canada. Remember the eight Canadians we lost. Remember who killed them. And remember we must stand up and defend the values they want to destroy.
