Poilievre Says Some Liberal MPs in Favour of Non-Confidence Motion Against Government

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says some Liberal MPs have told Tories they would vote in favour of a non-confidence motion against the government.

Speaking to reporters on Oct. 24, Poilievre said he had spoken with “numerous Liberal MPs” who are worried the Liberal government’s carbon tax policy will cost them their seats, and that they want to vote against that plan.

Jordan Peterson: Canada’s woke nightmare is a warning to the West

Justin Trudeau is creating a new arm of the state with sweeping powers aimed at criminalising opinions deemed ‘unacceptable’ by progressives

The bloom has certainly gone off the rose with regard to Canada’s Justin Trudeau – and most deservedly so.

He was the great hope of modern progressivism, handsome and charming – but his actions and inactions have confirmed the very worst suspicions of those dubious about the moral claims of elites obsessed with green dogma, their excessive demands, and their false compassion.

To put it bluntly: Canada is not thriving. On the economic side, we in the Great White North are now less productive, per capita, than the inhabitants of Mississippi, the least productive American state. Our border is, if anything, more carelessly open than that of our US allies, and our real estate prices are, despite our great expanse of habitable land, much higher.

Trudeau is evil, he’s also off his nut.

Sara Sharif used a hijab to hide bruises on her face which were reported to social workers five months before she was killed, the Old Bailey was told.

Teachers were concerned when the ten-year-old girl gave different accounts of how the injuries were caused shortly before she was removed from classes to be home schooled.

Business community laments loss of means to depress wages & reap profits from shortages associated with mass import of cheap foreign labour reports CBC

Immigration prevented a recession last year, but looming changes could stall growth: economists

Reducing the number of new admissions to the country could have negative consequences for the economy and pose challenges for commerce, according to business advocates and economists alike.

Economic measures such as the gross domestic product (GDP) have been moving in a positive direction, economists say, in part because Canada’s population has continued to increase due to rising immigration levels.

Statistics Canada reported in March that the country’s population grew in 2023 by about 1.3 million, and 97.6 per cent of that growth was the result of immigration.

‘My parents came here illegally, but I’m voting for Trump’: The immigrants rejecting Harris over migration

Like millions of people living in the United States, Abigail Solorzano’s parents came to the country illegally.

Crossing the southern border after a long journey from Nicaragua more than three decades ago, they surrendered to the authorities, claimed asylum and raised their daughter in their new home in the Miami suburbs.

Now, Abigail is one of a growing number of Latinos who think people like her parents should be turned away.

A deeply weird and typical day on Parliament Hill

It’s very Ottawa to prebook an attempted political knifing for a Wednesday morning, but also to keep enough of the messiness under wraps so that if the agitators blinked, you could go back to being one big happy family, with bolted-on grins, in the afternoon.

The last week has been filled with reports about a growing swell of frustration among Liberal MPs over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, given the party’s abysmal standing in the polls and in the minds of Canadians. This discontent took the form of a letter – which no one seemed to have seen with their own eyes, let alone signed with their own hand – urging him to step down.

Trump team bullish about 2024 election victory as early votes roll in: ‘Things look pretty good’

Donald Trump’s campaign has expressed cautious optimism about the Republican nominee’s chances of becoming the 47th president, with early voting numbers indicating the former chief executive is on course to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris.

While officials have insisted that “anything can happen” and that it is “too early to declare victory,” the initial returns from key states look better for the 78-year-old than both the 2016 and 2020 elections.

“Overall, both nationally and in battleground states, we are seeing strong returns for Republicans so far,” a Trump campaign adviser said on a surrogate call Wednesday.

Leonid Sirota: Defunding universities will not rid them of wokeism

In a column prompted by the loony Twitter musings of a law professor, the Post’s Carson Jerema argues that, “Too many professors twist and abuse their status to push whatever progressive cause they care about at the moment” ― and that, “There is only one solution to this nonsense: defund the professors” (“Defund the Professors,” Carson Jerema, Oct. 23). At the risk of falling for outrage-bait, I would like to respond.

I think Canada could stand to lose a few Uni’s.

Homeless encampment moved to make way for Taylor Swift concert

Authorities forced 75 homeless people out of an encampment to make way for a Taylor Swift concert at New Orleans’ Superdome.

The tent dwellers had been living beneath an overpass, and have since been relocated roughly two blocks away, Louisiana State Police said.
The move, which was partly funded with tax-payer money to help the vulnerable people find permanent housing, has been criticised as unnecessary.

I bet Chow is working on this.
