## 110-year-old Fort Erie, Ont., man says to treat others as you'd like to be treated

Authored by cbc.ca

When he turned 105, Fort Erie, Ont., resident Burdett Sisler told his son Norman that his goal was to live to be 110.

Burdett worked for the agency after the war as an appraiser at the Peace Bridge port of entry in Fort Erie from 1949 to 1979.

His family moved to Toronto in 1918 to open a tire factory, where Burdett eventually worked.

Burdett said that as far as he's concerned, "everything everyone does matters" and you should treat people the way you'd like to be treated.

On April 11, about 250 people gathered at the Fort Erie Legion for a birthday party for Burdett.

Later, guests sang Happy Birthday and Burdett blew out the candles on a cake.

"I never thought I'd see such a large crowd to see one person," Burdett said. »

Qatari deputy prime minister and defense affairs minister Sa'oud bin Abd Al-Rahman Al Thani this week posted and quickly deleted a Twitter/X post in support of Hamas: “We Are all Hamas… Oh Al-Quds, revolt and commemorate Al-Qassam!”.

Thani, who was appointed in November as Qatar’s deputy prime minister and defense affairs minister, has served as head of the Emiri Diwan for several years before that.

However, the Qatari minister quickly deleted the post, along with other posts endorsing Hamas, in an attempt to erase his history of support for the terrorist group. »

### OK, Chuck Schumer. Trump Just Crossed Your Red Line. Now What?

Authored by newrepublic.com

Due process and the rule of law are cornerstones of American society for citizens and noncitizens alike and not to follow that is dangerous and outrageous.

Is Schumer’s banal press statement really the best that Democratic leadership can do?. »
