“The Right Path” sends the right message

author Tasha Kheiriddin/book cover

Special to The Jewish Post & News by TASHA KHEIRIDDIN Well known political commentator and author Tasha Kheiriddin published her most recent book, “The Right Path: How Conservatives Can Unite, Inspire and Take Canada Forward” last month. A long-time conservative, Tasha is currently the co-chair of the leadership campaign of Jean Charest.

She is also a principal with the Toronto office of Navigator and a lecturer at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. Tasha agreed to share some of her ideas that she outlines in her book with The Jewish Post & News as to how the federal Conservative party could best move forward in the future.      

In “The Right Path: How Conservatives Can Unite, Inspire and Take Canada Forward”, I offer a roadmap to the Conservative Party of Canada to win the next election and elections well into the future. The book traces the twin arcs of populism and conservatism in Canadian politics, analyzes their current appeal and proposes the best approach for the party to succeed with three crucial voter groups, including New Canadians, urban and suburban dwellers, and Millennials / Generation Z.  All these groups are part of a strategy to build a larger and more well distributed base of support for the party.

If Conservatives intend to remain a vital force and potential governing party, they need to put aside their differences and build a winning coalition. To attain this objective will require soul-searching and self-examination. Canadian Conservatives need to ask themselves some fundamental questions, including: How did we get here? What is Canadian conservatism? And how can we unite, inspire, and take Canada forward—and win a majority government?

As many have noted, in 2021 the Conservative party won the popular vote but lost the federal election because most of their support was concentrated in Western and rural Canada. Similarly, in the 2019 federal election Conservatives won 34% of the popular vote compared to 33% for the Liberals. Yet the Liberals remain dominant in crucial battlegrounds, including the GTA. To ensure a well distributed base of support and to win, it is imperative that Conservatives reach out to various groups across the country and build a bigger tent of support.

Successful Canadian Conservative leaders have always understood the importance of coalition-building. I discuss three leaders who successfully did this: John A. Macdonald, Brian Mulroney, and Stephen Harper. They were able to build big tents and win large majorities by tempering extremes and not playing to them. All three understood that governing is a balancing act. Each had their own challenge: Macdonald’s was nation building, Mulroney’s was nation keeping, and Harper’s was nation changing. While they did not accomplish everything they set out to do, they each came to power by forming extremely effective alliances and coalitions and made history as a result.

Politics is as much a social exercise as it is an ideological one. Forming personal connections with various communities throughout the country is essential and opens the door to potential support and civic engagement. The current Conservative party has been building alliances with various communities but much remains to be done.

Since the days of Mulroney and Harper, the party has developed a strong relationship with Canada’s Jewish community. While in office, Stephen Harper was a strong friend of Israel, and remains so today. He recognized the importance of Israel as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East. He understood the need to combat anti-Semitism at home and abroad. He also championed the values that conservatives and the Jewish community share. At its core, conservatism stands on three pillars: faith, family and free enterprise. All of these are also pillars of Judaism and of the Jewish experience in Canada.

This respect and support for Israel and Jewish Canadians continues to resonate within the current Conservative Party. In May of this year, designed Jewish Heritage month, leader Candice Bergen stated that “Throughout the month of May, I encourage all Canadians to celebrate the inspirational role Jewish Canadians have played in communities across Canada.” She noted that Canada is home to nearly 400,000 people of the Jewish faith – who have made invaluable contributions to various fields, including medicine, sports, technology and the arts, thereby improving the quality of life for Canadians and the entire world. Bergen committed to continue to carry on the fight against anti-Semitism and expressed the hope that all Canadians will take time to learn about Jewish history and culture in Canada and celebrate the incredible achievements of Canada’s Jewish community.

Just as we, as parents, strive to have our children carry on our heritage and traditions, one of the most important challenges for Conservatives is also engaging the next generation. Millennials now outnumber baby boomers, comprising 33.2 % of the working age population. As for Gen Z, they are projected to outnumber baby boomers by 2032 and millennials by 2045. Unlike what is commonly assumed, these groups are not monolithic in their political views, or overwhelmingly left-leaning. Almost 48% of Gen-Z voters, aged 18-24, define themselves as right of center. Among Millennials, about 30% lean right, and another 20% could be accessible Conservative voters if the party takes a centre-right approach and offers solutions on issues such as climate change. Young people are looking for a party that listens, and “that cares”; they seek sincerity and authenticity in their politicians.

When I started writing this book after the 2021 election, no one could have foreseen the events of 2022, including the freedom convoy in Ottawa, Russian’s attack on Ukraine, galloping inflation, and economic anxiety. Recent events have created an even more uncertain world, making it crucial that Canada has a government that provides greater stability and growth. Conservatives – and all Canadians, must also guard against the spectre of intolerance and hate that can accompany upheavals and economic anxiety. Populism has led nations to some terrible places in the past, and we need to ensure that this never happens again in the future.

Canada today needs a choice of governing parties and I believe that conservatism offers a better path out of our present malaise. The Conservatives can be that choice, but only if they can find some common ground. I hope “The Right Path” offers the next leader, whoever he or she is, some guidance and insight into how to achieve this objective.

Staying Safe Online: How to Verify Phone Numbers and Emails in a Digital World

In today’s connected world, communication happens instantly. Whether through phone calls, text messages, or email, we receive information faster than ever before. While this connectivity brings convenience, it also increases exposure to scams, fraud, and misinformation. Communities that value strong social ties, philanthropy, education, and global connection—such as Jewish communities worldwide—are particularly active online, making digital awareness essential.

One practical way to stay safe is by verifying unknown phone numbers and email addresses before responding. Modern lookup tools now make this process quick and accessible.


Why Phone and Email Verification Matters

The Rise of Digital Fraud

Across North America and beyond, online fraud has become more sophisticated. Scam calls may impersonate:

  • Charitable organizations
  • Financial institutions
  • Government agencies
  • Community leaders
  • Family members in distress

Similarly, phishing emails often appear legitimate at first glance, using familiar names or logos to gain trust.

Before replying, donating, clicking links, or sharing sensitive information, verification can prevent costly mistakes.


Common Scenarios Where Verification Helps

1. Unknown Calls Requesting Donations

Many people are generous and active in charitable giving. Unfortunately, scammers sometimes exploit this generosity. If you receive a call asking for contributions to a cause, verifying the phone number can help confirm legitimacy.

2. Suspicious Emails About Account Access

Emails claiming urgent action is required—such as password resets or banking alerts—are common phishing tactics. Looking up the sender’s email can reveal whether it is associated with known fraud reports.

3. Online Marketplace Transactions

When buying or selling items online, verifying the contact details of the other party reduces the risk of fraud.

4. Reconnecting with Old Contacts

Sometimes you receive a message from someone claiming to be an old friend, colleague, or distant relative. A quick lookup can confirm whether the contact information aligns with public records.


Introducing ClarityCheck

One of the tools designed to simplify this process is ClarityCheck. The platform allows users to search for information associated with phone numbers and email addresses, helping individuals make informed decisions before responding.

What Makes ClarityCheck Useful?

Quick Searches

Users can enter:

  • A phone number
  • An email address

The system then aggregates publicly available data and digital signals connected to that contact detail.

Easy-to-Understand Results

Rather than overwhelming users with technical data, the platform presents results in a structured format, making it easier to interpret findings.

Privacy-Conscious Approach

The service focuses on organizing publicly accessible information, helping users assess risk without intrusive methods.


How Phone Number Lookup Works

When a phone number is entered into a lookup service, several types of information may be identified:

Data CategoryPossible Insights
Carrier InformationType of line (mobile, landline, VoIP)
Geographic IndicatorsArea code origin
Spam ReportsPrevious complaints or flags
Digital FootprintPublic listings linked to the number

This information can help users determine whether a number is likely legitimate or potentially fraudulent.

For example, a donation request from a number flagged repeatedly for spam activity would be a clear warning sign.


How Email Lookup Enhances Security

Email addresses often reveal patterns that help identify risk.

Key Signals in Email Verification

  • Domain age and reputation
  • Presence in public databases
  • Links to known scam reports
  • Associated online profiles

For instance, an email claiming to represent a large institution but using a newly created domain may warrant caution.

Verification adds a layer of confidence before you respond.


Community Safety and Digital Responsibility

Strong communities rely on trust. However, trust must be balanced with vigilance in digital spaces.

Protecting Elders and Vulnerable Individuals

Older adults are often targeted by phone and email scams. Sharing tools and knowledge about verification can significantly reduce risk.

Encouraging family members to:

  • Verify unknown callers
  • Avoid sharing financial details immediately
  • Consult trusted relatives before responding

can prevent emotional and financial harm.


Practical Steps Before Responding to Unknown Contacts

Here is a simple checklist:

  1. Do not click links immediately.
  2. Avoid sharing personal information.
  3. Verify the phone number or email address.
  4. Contact the organization directly using official channels.
  5. Report suspicious activity when necessary.

Verification tools like ClarityCheck fit naturally into step three of this process.


Benefits Beyond Fraud Prevention

While safety is the primary goal, phone and email lookup services can also offer other advantages.

Reconnecting with Confidence

In globally connected communities with family members across countries, unexpected messages are common. A lookup can confirm whether a contact aligns with publicly available information before continuing the conversation.

Professional Due Diligence

For professionals—whether in law, business, education, or nonprofit leadership—validating contact information before engaging in partnerships or transactions adds credibility and reduces risk.

Supporting Charitable Integrity

Legitimate charitable organizations depend on trust. When individuals verify contacts, it discourages impersonation scams that damage the reputation of authentic nonprofits.


Digital Awareness in 2026 and Beyond

As artificial intelligence tools become more advanced, scam attempts may look increasingly realistic. Voice cloning, AI-generated emails, and automated phishing campaigns are becoming more common.

Verification tools help counteract these threats by:

  • Identifying patterns linked to fraudulent activity
  • Aggregating public signals into accessible reports
  • Providing clarity before emotional decisions are made

Digital literacy is no longer optional—it is part of responsible community engagement.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to look up phone numbers and emails?

Yes, when using services that rely on publicly available information and comply with data protection regulations.

Can lookup tools guarantee accuracy?

No tool guarantees 100% accuracy. Results should be used as guidance, combined with personal judgment.

Should verification replace common sense?

Absolutely not. It should complement cautious behavior and independent confirmation.


Final Thoughts

Community strength is built on trust, generosity, and connection. In a digital era, protecting those values requires thoughtful use of technology.

Verifying unknown phone numbers and email addresses before responding is a simple but powerful step. Whether preventing fraud, safeguarding charitable giving, or reconnecting with old contacts, tools like ClarityCheck help individuals move forward with greater confidence.

Digital awareness is not about suspicion—it is about clarity.

Methods of Using Blockchain on Gambling Sites: Explained by Robocat Casino

The world of online gambling is changing and chasing new tools to entertain visitors. Players demand more transparency, faster payouts, and complete control over their money, making traditional casinos seem outdated. Modern websites like Robocat Casino utilize blockchain technology, which is the digital foundation for everything from crypto transactions to provably fair games. If you’re unfamiliar with how casinos use blockchain, we’ll cover it below.

What is Blockchain in a Casino?

Blockchain is a system that records data in a way that cannot be altered. The technology operates using a decentralized ledger shared across multiple computers. Every transaction is recorded in the ledger, which is regularly updated and accessible to all participants.

These properties are useful for gambling sites like Robocat Casino. The digital ledger processes every bet and prevents alteration. As a result, every action is transparent, and players have no doubt about the website’s integrity.

All transactions occur on a decentralized ledger, so there is no central authority that could interfere. This ensures complete anonymity. This privacy has led to an increasing number of players choosing to bet at crypto casinos.

How is This Technology Used in Gambling?

There are several ways users might encounter blockchain technology at sites like Robocat Casino.

  • Provably fair games. Traditional online casinos have always been criticized for their fairness, as players doubt whether the odds are truly in their favor. Blockchain technology eliminates this uncertainty. Systems with provably fair games use cryptographic algorithms and publicly accessible hashes to control the outcome of each spin or draw. This limits backend manipulation and ensures transparency between the website and the user.
  • Greater anonymity and lower KYC (know your customer) requirements. Not all crypto casinos eliminate the KYC process, but many are more lenient than casinos that exclusively accept fiat transactions. Some sites allow you to play with just a wallet address, without the need for identification documents.
  • Cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals. With blockchain technology, you can forget about the five-day wait for funds to appear in your gaming account. When working with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, deposits and withdrawals are almost instantaneous. Interacting with cryptocurrency goes beyond speed. It offers low transaction fees and 24/7 global availability.
  • Smart contracts. These are self-executing contracts based on the blockchain. In casinos, they can automate everything from loyalty bonuses to jackpot payouts. Such procedures require no human intervention, eliminating the risk of errors.
  • Tokenized loyalty systems. Casinos can issue their own tokens as rewards. This is a cryptocurrency that can be sold or spent on the website. This approach creates real economic value for loyalty programs and motivates users to choose the casino.

The evolution of blockchain will lead to an expanded role at Robocat Casino and other gambling websites. Experts expect the use of decentralized applications (dApps) to increase. These operate on blockchain networks, rather than on a single server, and ensure complete decentralization of casinos. The absence of intermediaries or regulatory bodies will provide players with greater transparency.
