Restricting the number of international students in colleges and universities has been big news in Ontario since last January, when the federal government finally brought some rationality to what had become a back-door immigration plan.
Doug does identity politics making it doubtful he would do the right thing.
What happened Wednesday night to Kamala Harris on Fox News may have been the equivalent to what happened to President Joe Biden at that infamous debate in June — irreparably exposed her as unacceptable to voters.

No tag days for Kamala she’ll land on her knees somewhere.
Once again, Justin Trudeau showed there is no issue so serious that he wouldn’t use it for his own political advantage.
While testifying before the Foreign Interference Commission, Trudeau accused the Conservatives of harbouring people involved in foreign interference and Leader Pierre Poilievre of looking the other way.
What are the risks when police & prosecutors rely upon A.I. Artificial Intelligence to gather evidence?
Unfortunately, a Canadian A.I. company called Global Intelligence might be responsible for innocent persons being criminally charged.

Russell Brand is selling “magic amulets” for £188 to ward off wi-fi signals and other “evil energies” supposedly present in airports.
The disgraced comedian, who has been accused of rape and sexual assault by four women, has attempted to remake himself as a far-right Christian influencer but has been criticised after posting a video promoting the product.
I visited one of our country’s many and burgeoning homeless tent encampments last week. None of the residents wanted me to take a photograph of their face.
“I don’t want my mom to see me like this,” said one man who appeared in his thirties. Another would only allow photos of the unbandaged and bleeding venous ulcers on both of his shins, a familiar sight from my days of outreach nursing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. It seemed important to him that I share the evidence of his physical deterioration. But absolutely not his face.
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe says it will compensate local and foreign White farmers who lost land and property more than 20 years ago in farm seizures meant to redress some of the wrongs of colonialism.
About 4,000 White farmers lost their homes and swathes of land when the Black-majority country’s then-president, Robert Mugabe, launched the often-chaotic redistribution program in 2000, which turned violent at times. Mugabe, who died in 2019, said it was aimed at addressing colonial-era land inequities after the southern African nation gained independence from White minority rule in 1980.
… The seizures badly impacted commercial farming, forcing a country that was a key regional food producer and exporter to rely on assistance from donors. Zimbabwe’s agriculture sector has rebounded in recent years, but recent droughts are now the main challenge.
Demand for electricity in Ontario is set to soar by 75 per cent in the next couple of decades, far higher than was projected just last year, in part due to a sudden surge in data centres supporting artificial intelligence, the system operator said Wednesday.
The demand has been relatively flat for the past 20 years, but now it is building and shows no signs of levelling off, officials with the Independent Electricity System Operator said in a briefing. Just last year, they expected demand to grow 60 per cent higher by 2050.
Can’t wait for those magic reactors to be built to match that magic EV manufacturing.
October 16, 2024— the day Vice President Kamala Harris had a meltdown on live television after being grilled for one of the worst administrations in U.S. history.

Four more federal cabinet ministers will not run for re-election, Radio-Canada has learned, meaning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will reshuffle his cabinet at a time when his leadership is increasingly fragile.
Marie-Claude Bibeau (National Revenue), Carla Qualtrough (Sports), Filomena Tassi (Economic Development for Southern Ontario) and Dan Vandal (Northern Affairs) have informed the prime minister they won’t be running in the next federal election.
… According to Radio-Canada’s count, 24 elected members of the Liberal caucus don’t intend to seek re-election. That’s not counting the seven MPs who have resigned since the last election, including former ministers Marc Garneau, David Lametti and Carolyn Bennett.
A slow motion ouster.
The 13-year-old boy should have been in school last Thursday, instead of sitting in a police station in central Gothenburg. But police say he fired shots outside the offices of Israeli tech firm Elbit Systems.
“He was basically caught in the act,” said police spokesman August Brandt, who said the shots were being investigated as an “attempted murder and weapons offence”.
Kalleback on the outskirts of Gothenburg is a fairly sleepy residential neighbourhood with upmarket developments, a supermarket and a few offices.
More than six billion litres of milk has been discarded on Canadian dairy farms since 2012, according to a newly released study.
“Systemic inefficiencies” in Canada’s supply management system have led to between 6.8 billion and 10 billion litres of milk being dumped out over the past 12 years, says the study published in the journal Ecological Economics. Valued at as much as $14.9 billion, the dumped milk accounts for roughly 7 percent of milk produced on dairy farms during that time period.
Security officials have said that the chances that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a strike in Gaza are “increasingly higher,” Israeli media reported on Thursday.
The IDF and Shin Bet (ISA) put out a joint statement on the possible assassination earlier Thursday.
Justin will have to declare at least a day of mourning to appease his Muslim caucus.
In 1989, when reports surfaced that Ottawa had expelled Indian diplomats for spying, then foreign affairs minister Joe Clark did not hold a press conference to lecture the Indian government or express righteous indignation at its alleged Vienna Convention violations.
Instead, Mr. Clark rose in the House of Commons to respond to charges from the Liberal immigration critic Sergio Marchi that India’s government had engaged in “elaborate and covert operations … to discredit and destabilize the Canadian Sikh community” and manipulate Canadian officials. India had grown frustrated with Canada’s coddling of Sikh separatists and the RCMP’s botched investigation into the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight that originated in Canada.
