Canadian support for Donald Trump higher than in last U.S. presidential election, poll finds

The majority of Canadians prefer Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the U.S. election, but support for the former Republican president has increased here, especially among young men, according to a new poll.

The research, conducted by the Environics Institute in Toronto, also found that more Conservative Party voters prefer Mr. Trump than during the last U.S. presidential campaign, in 2020.

Kamala Unwinding

Don’t kid yourself: Kamala Harris does not want to be President of the United States. She doesn’t even want the ceremonial stuff, the incessant shuffling from one photo op to the next, the tedious Easter egg rolls, the prayer meetings, the turkey pardonings, the tiresome state banquets for men in strange headgear who are unfamiliar with using the fork and knife, and forbidden to sip chardonnay. . . .

The Real Forever War

No matter the outcome in the current war, the Arabs — propelled by Islam — will never make a lasting peace with Israel.

Americans talk about “forever wars,” as if our wars in Afghanistan or Iraq could qualify as such.

The real forever war began in 610 A.D. when Islam was founded. It has never lived in peace with equals, only with peoples it has rendered subjects. The latest version of that forever war began in 1948, a few months after Israel was declared a nation by the UN, when its Arab neighbors began their wars to destroy the Jewish state.

Canada’s woke Stasi

An elderly school trustee who questioned trans ideology has been subjected to a legal witch-hunt.

Under other circumstances, former school trustee Barry Neufeld may have retired as one of your curmudgeonly, albeit amusing, elderly neighbours, equipped with a brash sense of humour, a glass of wine and a cigarette. Had he not introduced himself at a recent panel event I spoke on in Victoria, British Columbia (BC) about the harms of gender-identity ideology, I would never have pegged him as a supposed hate-monger. He seemed rather jovial, in fact. Yet the Canadian media and some of Canada’s most powerful unions see things differently. They have made Neufeld their nemesis.

Woman Who Tried to Smuggle 29 Turtles Wrapped in Socks Pleads Guilty

A woman pleaded guilty on Friday to attempting to smuggle 29 Eastern box turtles, a protected species, that were individually wrapped in socks inside a duffle bag as she tried to paddle in an inflatable kayak across a lake from Vermont to Canada over the summer, officials said.

The woman, Wan Yee Ng, of Hong Kong, was arrested in June at a rental residence in Canaan, Vt., as she was about to enter into the kayak with the bag on Lake Wallace, according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont.

The Chinese are like locusts there isn’t an animal they won’t kill for food or “medical” potions or powders.

UK Limiting Islamist Books in Prisons Raises Questions

The UK’s Ministry of Justice has imposed new rules aimed at curbing the spread of Islamist ideology in prisons. The measures, announced in late April, are part of an effort to reduce the terror threat posed by “highly ideologically motivated offenders,” said Ian Acheson, an expert on Islamist radicalization in UK prisons.

The new rules limit the number of books prisoners convicted of terror offenses can keep in their cells to two boxes, totaling 15 kilograms. The goal is to prevent the stockpiling or concealment of extremist literature. The MOJ has also banned prisoners convicted of terror offenses from taking leading roles in religious services to preclude them from exploiting the communal worship of Friday prayers to indoctrinate or radicalize fellow inmates, one in seven of whom is a Muslim.

B.C. NDP could be punished for its policies on crime

After being arrested, a British Columbian can successfully sue the police for making racist or other insulting comments, “even if the mental distress is not very serious,” now-B.C. Premier David Eby wrote in 2007.

And even if you are being legally arrested in the act of stealing a car, Eby wrote, you can later go to court for thousands of dollars of compensation if you are bitten by a police dog.

How Joe Biden’s fury at being ‘overthrown’ by Kamala Harris now threatens to derail his VP’s campaign

Lingering anger from Joe Biden’s staffers at him dropping out of the race after a relentless campaign from Democrats to oust him has led to tension with Kamala Harris’ campaign team, a bombshell report reveals.

Biden, 81, has appeared to undercut Harris at least four times in recent weeks during the critical final stages of the 2024 race that could be one of the closest in history.

He made a surprise White House briefing room appearance during one of her rallies and praised Ron DeSantis’ response to the hurricanes that devastated his state, while she accused him of playing politics.

Public service union calls for investigation into return-to-office mandate

A union representing some 27,000 federal public servants is calling for a parliamentary committee to hold an inquiry into the three-day-a-week return to office mandate.

The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE) believes the return-to-office policy has been “surrounded by catastrophic failures” and says the standing committee on government operations and estimates should investigate.

CAPE president Nathan Prier said his union’s members have lost confidence in the senior management of the civil service.

Ontario First Nations accept $47.8 billion child welfare deal after intense debate

After two days of lengthy and contentious discussions in Toronto, Ontario’s First Nations have ratified a $47.8-billion child welfare reform agreement with Ottawa, which has been in the works since 2016.

Ontario’s largest confederation of First Nations, the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN), voted to ratify the agreement, followed by the Chiefs of Ontario (COO) on Thursday afternoon. A third and final vote will be held at the Assembly of First Nations meeting in Calgary next week.

This grift has to end.
