Star publishes 4037th “Trump Bad Man” article

The worst parts of American politics are creeping into Canada. Here’s why

It is the question bedevilling progressive-leaning people north and south of the Canada-U.S. border throughout this raucous, election-filled fall — how has the race against the conservative right become so close?

You hear it from people voting for Democratic contender Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential vote. How on earth is Donald Trump, a convicted felon, an election denier, the man who inspired a mob to stage a deadly riot on Capitol Hill four years ago, even a serious contender?

We Keep On Playing Polling ‘Head Games’

1979 was a pretty terrific year in music. After a fog of disco dominating the pop charts in the second half of the decade, rock finally made its comeback with a slew of wonderful albums that dropped that year. Whether it was Damn the Torpedoes by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Breakfast In America by Supertramp, The Pretenders’ eponymous record, London Calling by the Clash, there were dozens of true rock staples that were released that magical year. One of those was the third studio release by Foreigner – Head Games.

Poilievre calls on premiers to remove sales taxes on new homes under $1M

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Canada’s premiers to match his pledge to remove the federal sales tax on new homes under $1 million by doing the same with provincial sales taxes.

Five reasons each for why Harris or Trump might win

With just one day to go, the race for the White House is deadlocked – both at the national level and in the all-important battleground states.

The polls are so close, within the margin of error, that either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris could actually be two or three points better off – enough to win comfortably.

There is a compelling case to make for why each may have the edge when it comes to building a coalition of voters in the right places, and then ensuring they actually turn out.

Full Blown TDS ~ If America votes in a fascist this week, the whole world should worry

Triggered TDS Trump Derangement

Just a few days from now, while two major nuclear powers wage war in Europe and the Middle East and a third threatens war in Asia, the world’s strongest democracy may elect to become a fascist state. Many people recognize that this is a dangerous time for the world; many others understand that Donald Trump is a dangerous man for the United States. And yet: Even among those who know that the world at present and Trump as president are each singularly dangerous — that there has been no time on earth so precarious since WWII, and no president so pathological as Trump, ever — there are still some who claim that Trump will not make the world a more dangerous place.

North Korean troops in Ukraine may soon face their worst fear: South Korean missiles

Who would have believed when Ukraine was invaded that, almost three years on, North Korean troops would be fighting on European soil? Yet, here we are, with Pjongjang now a full-fledged participant in Russia’s war, largely thanks to the West’s failure to deter. The US now estimates that 10,000 North Korean troops are stationed in Russia and 8,000 of those forces will be imminently deployed to the battlefront. After meeting with her Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Friday, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui vowed to “stand alongside our Russian comrades” until Russia’s “day of victory” in Ukraine.
