Inside furious Kamala’s campaign as infighting grips staffers and Trump emerges as red-hot favorite

Kamala Harris has embarked on a desperate last ditch bid to keep her presidential bid alive amid sliding poll ratings little more than two weeks before polling day.

The Democrat nominee is struggling to keep a lid on recriminations from colleagues infuriated at her high-handed approach as they see the key battleground state of Pennsylvania slip from their grasp.

The VP has been forced to abandon her safety-first strategy of cozy sit downs with friendly outlets, in a high-stakes pivot towards finding unlikely recruits for her fraying electoral alliance.

How often do caucus revolts succeed?

Does Justin Trudeau smell a whiff of grapeshot?

After a disastrous summer for the Liberals that saw two byelection defeats in historically red seats, and constant rumblings of dissatisfaction within caucus, the prime minister has held firm.

There have been no major cabinet shuffles (as of yet), no grand policy announcements, and no real changes to speak of.

Bruce Pardy: At TMU medical school, some students are more equal than others

Canada’s newest medical school will select students not for their ability, but their identity. Great, as if Canada’s healthcare system wasn’t bad enough already.

The school, which opens next fall at Toronto Metropolitan University, will reserve 75 per cent of its seats for Indigenous, Black, and other “equity-deserving” groups including 2SLGBTQ+. These students will need an undergraduate GPA of only 3.3 on a 4-point scale, and maybe not even that; for comparison, the University of Toronto medical school’s average accepted GPA is 3.95. Able-bodied straight white students can’t apply for these seats. It’s TMU’s affirmative action school for doctors who can’t get in on their merits. Canada now has full-blown racial and gender discrimination. How did we get here? The Supreme Court of Canada is largely to blame.

Trump works fry cooker at McDonald’s — and MAGA faithful line up to order: ‘I’ll take whatever he gives me’

FEASTERVILEE-TREVOSE, Pennsylvania — Call him McDonald Trump!

Former President Donald Trump served up some fries and political shade against his rival during a behind-the-counter stint at McDonald’s Sunday, which drew a monster crowd to the Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. fast food restaurant.

McDonald’s has long been one of Trump’s favorite chains, but his visit to the Golden Arches Sunday doubled as an effort to re-up his doubts over Vice President Kamala Harris’ claims that she worked there in the 1980s.

Liberals unhappy with Trudeau ‘don’t have another choice’: ex-BQ leader

Former Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe thinks the writing’s on the wall for the federal Liberals — which is why no one is clamouring to replace beleaguered Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ahead of the next election.

In an interview with Mercedes Stephenson that aired Sunday on The West Block, Duceppe said he’s heard from Liberals in Quebec who are unhappy with Trudeau’s leadership and the party’s electoral prospects. But with no one waiting in the wings to chart a new course, there’s little that can be done.

I can’t think of a single LPC front bencher who isn’t an inveterate liar. The entire Liberal caucus is inclined to lie on any matter large or small.

Much as I hope the LPC will lose every seat rest assured Toronto will still vote for them especially if Junior remains.

Drive-by shootings, arson and murder: is the Indian government trying to silence Canada’s Sikh activists?

On one summer night in Ontario, a Canadian Sikh activist received a panicked call from his wife: police had come to the family home and warned her that his life was at risk.

Two weeks later and thousands of kilometers away, a gunman in the province of British Columbia filmed himself firing a volley of bullets into the home of a prominent Indo-Canadian singer as two vehicles burned in the driveway.

Both instances – together with a string of arsons, extortion schemes, drive-by shootings and at least two murders – are now believed to be part of a wide-ranging and violent campaign of intimidation across Canada orchestrated by India’s government.

I have no love for Modi and his Christian murdering Hindus but why is Trudeau harboring Sikh terrorists?

As America’s Marijuana Use Grows, So Do the Harms

In midcoast Maine, a pediatrician sees teenagers so dependent on cannabis that they consume it practically all day, every day — “a remarkably scary amount,” she said.

From Washington State to West Virginia, psychiatrists treat rising numbers of people whose use of the drug has brought on delusions, paranoia and other symptoms of psychosis.

And in the emergency departments of small community hospitals and large academic medical centers alike, physicians encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug — a potentially devastating condition that once was rare but now, they say, is common. “Those patients look so sick,” said a doctor in Ohio, who described them “writhing around in pain.”

North Korean soldiers will become Putin’s cannon fodder

Hermit kingdoms usually keep themselves to themselves, but now, North Korea is reinventing the moniker by which it has long been known. The country may have the world’s fourth largest military, numbering nearly 1.5 million – out of a population of 26 million – but when the first tanks invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, few observers would have anticipated North Korea’s actual involvement in the ensuing war. It is not only Ukrainian intelligence reports which, this week, raised the possibility that over 12,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed to aid Russia’s war effort. Only a few hours ago, South Korea’s intelligence agency has confirmed this grim reality – troops have now arrived.

Trudeau the Magnificent offers foreign-interference inquiry a master class in redirecting attention

The big message of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s testimony this week before the foreign-interference commission was – as it so often is – an elaborate political version of, “It’s not me, it’s you.”

In his telling, information flowed in and out of the Prime Minister’s Office as it was supposed to, and anything that didn’t float up to his eye level mustn’t have met the triage test. His government had been pro-active – not reactive, and definitely not inactive – in combatting malign foreign states who wanted to stick their fingers in the eyes of Canadian democracy, he argued.

Israel Fights Alone, Carrying by Itself a Catatonically Suicidal West

Culminating with the dispatch of arch-terrorist Yahya Sinwar this week, how many of the world’s most vicious terrorists has Israel liberated the world from in a few short weeks? Little Israel is showing the world how to win again — and saving civilization and a free way of life into the bargain. For those of us fortunate enough to live in a free society rather than in a society of fear, as the former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky calls them, let Israel keep winning!

Kentucky man declared brain dead wakes up during organ harvesting

A man who had gone into cardiac arrest and been declared brain dead woke up as surgeons in his home state of Kentucky were in the middle of harvesting his organs for donation, his family has told media outlets.

As reported Thursday by both National Public Radio and the Kentucky news station WKYT, the case of Anthony Thomas “TJ” Hoover II is under investigation by state and federal government officials. Officials within the US’s organ-procurement system insist there are safeguards in place to prevent such episodes, though his family told the outlets their experience highlights a need for at least some reform.
