Marcie Paul is nervous.
A Democratic activist, Ms Paul has been knocking on hundreds of strangers’ doors, making phone calls and sending out flyers, all in an effort to woo people here to vote for Kamala Harris.
When Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate in July, Ms Paul was hopeful, as she saw the vice-president go “off like a rocket” in Michigan.

The first rule of regicide is: “if you come for the king, you best not miss.”
Another useful axiom is that, when you are poised to act, don’t have word leak out just before a long weekend, ahead of a break week, and a full 12 days before you can rally support at the next caucus meeting.
The incipient mutiny of Liberal backbenchers sounded credible when first reported by the Toronto Star, with as many as 40 MPs said to have signed their name to a letter calling for Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader.
But if the coup had legs, sources now suggest it has lost them.

A series of investigative reports released on Tuesday by the European Leadership Network (ELNET) exposes an extensive network of Hamas-affiliated organizations and individuals operating across several European countries.
The reports, focusing on the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium, were released one year after the October 7 attack in Israel.

The Thanksgiving break week has granted the Liberal Party breathing room on a privilege motion that has ground House business to a standstill, but questions remain over what—if anything—the governing party can do to reverse static polling showing a catastrophic defeat at the next election.
Members of the government have sought to pour cold water on speculation that Parliament will be prorogued in order to avoid a successful non-confidence motion, especially since NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh (Burnaby South, B.C.) announced an end to his party’s supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberals on Sept. 4.

Take your pick Sikh Terrorists or Muslim terrorists. The US assassinates foreign terrorists and those who aid them on a routine basis, as does Israel. Junior had better be careful.
Russia is cracking down on children identifying as cats and other animals after a powerful ally of President Putin said the trend was part of a western plot to turn people into slaves.
The teenage subculture, known in Russian as “kvadrobing”, has made headlines in Russia, as well as in western countries. Schools in Britain and the United States have previously been forced to deny fake reports that they provide litter boxes for children who come to lessons as cats.

“Jet fuel cannot melt steel beams,” claims a widely circulated conspiracy theory that attributes the 9/11 attacks to the FBI. Canada appears to have its own conspiracy equivalent: the government of India was supposedly involved in the 1985 Air India bombing.
Two separate inquiries have thoroughly debunked this claim. Yet, with Trudeau Liberals down in the polls, they are fanning the flames of conspiracy again.
British Army dogs are to get goggles and combat vests as part of a £3 million kit upgrade to their working wardrobe.
The new “canine catalogue” will support and train a pack of more than 500 military working dogs so that they can achieve tasks that range from entering hostile environments, to protecting their handlers.
A Liberal backbencher is publicly calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader as other MPs co-ordinate their efforts to force him out.
Sean Casey, the MP for Charlottetown, told CBC News Network’s Power & Politics that Trudeau’s leadership has become one of the main topics of conversation when he speaks to voters in his riding.
“The message that I’ve been getting loud and clear — and more and more strongly as time goes by — is that it is time for [Trudeau] to go. And I agree,” he told host David Cochrane in an exclusive interview Tuesday.
He’s wishy one day and washy the next.
Liberal MP endorses ‘robust caucus discussion’ about whether Trudeau should still lead the party

A poll has found that most of the people who identify as minorities in British Columbia do not believe that criminalizing drug use is “racist.”
The results fly in the face of claims made by the BC NDP that prohibition is “rooted in racism.”
Here I thought we were done with my four-year series, Misadventures in Lawfare, at least until after the election.
After all, Jack Smith is stuck in the mud, his book-length description of former President Trump’s J6 infamia having enraged only the already-enraged, and his Mar-a-Lago documents prosecution in appellate suspension. Alvin Bragg’s case was such a joke that Democrats tend to restrict their “convicted felon” Trump banter to conversations among themselves, lest they remind the country of the underlying travesty — and Bragg couldn’t even get Trump formally convicted and sentenced owing to his own malpractice in ignoring the immunity issue. (Trump’s lawyers filed a brief in the Second Circuit on Monday, trying yet again to get Bragg’s case removed to federal court.) On the civil side, a New York appellate court seems poised at least to gut, if not to toss entirely, the half-billion-dollar damages award imposed by Arthur Engoron, an elected club Democrat in a robe, in Trump-deranged AG Tish James’s fraud case with no fraud victims.
