Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is suffering a major hangover - without the help of alcohol beforehand.
Two legislative drafts making their way through Queen's Park and Toronto City Hall could spell the end of events in public spaces that criticize Israel. Although the wording of these drafts does not explicitly name the annual Muslim commemoration of the Palestinian situation, the intent has been made clear by comments around both of them:
Apart from the Great Pyramids of Giza, few monuments of ancient Egypt have captured the world's fascination like the two great Abu Simbel temples of Ramses II the Great and his beautiful wife, Queen Nefertari.
