Sam Routley: Stephen Harper embraced pragmatic, incremental change. Does Pierre Poilievre have grander ambitions?

While there are no inevitabilities in life, it seems at least close to inevitable that the next government will be a Conservative one; and, what’s more, the party appears to be on the precipice of winning a historic majority of well over 200 seats. But this is old (and increasingly less interesting) news. While a weary government continues to delay, Conservative attention has increasingly moved towards the questions of what needs to happen after the election. This includes the as-of-yet unresolved but necessary articulations of how the party will, first, actually accomplish the broad agenda they have set for themselves and, second, do so off of the support of a manageable electoral coalition that is sizable enough to stay in power.

‘Enough is enough’: nervous Liberal MPs push for Trudeau’s exit before the next election

Liberal MPs have been holding discreet meetings in small groups over the past few weeks to come up with plans to urge Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down, according to multiple Liberal MPs sources.

Those quiet efforts spilled into public following reports of a pledge some have signed to solidify their resolve to stand united should Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) resist that call. More than 20 MPs have put their name to the agreement, sources told The Hill Times.

“At the end of the day, this is out already, and this is extremely damaging,” said one Liberal MP who is directly involved in behind-the-scenes conversations calling on Trudeau to resign.

Trudeau and Joly have made Canada into Hamas’s greatest G7 ally

For a year, Canada’s response to the Hamas massacre in Israel was feckless in government and frightening on the streets. Monday’s anniversary highlighted both in disturbing measure.

The scenes in Vancouver — “We are Hezbollah and we are Hamas!” — revealed a distressing level of hatred, including for Canada, complete with flag-burning. There is plenty of darkness in the land of sunny ways.

The Party of Demons

It should be clear by now, to those who have eyes to see, that the Democratic Party is profoundly anti-Catholic. The latest stunt demonstrative of this fact is a video of Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeding a Dorito to a kneeling podcaster, who receives the snack food on her tongue. You know, like Catholics receive the Holy Eucharist while kneeling at the altar rail.

Whitmer and her team may try to dismiss the video as anything other than the anti-Catholic mockery that it is, but Whitmer makes her meaning clear. The Hill reported that Whitmer “offers the camera a serious expression while wearing Harris-Walz campaign gear” after placing the Dorito on the kneeling girl’s tongue. However, those familiar with the Michigan governor (I myself lived in Detroit for a period of time) will recognize a distinctly defiant, mocking menace in her eyes. This is more than just a political ploy, it is more than merely poorly capitalizing on a social media trend, it is mocking and deriding American Catholics.

One of the World’s Most Immigrant-Friendly Countries Is Changing Course

Canada has long had one of the world’s most open immigration policies. Now, faced with a growing popular backlash, it’s changing the rules.

A late-night Uber ride from Toronto’s Pearson Airport into the city usually guarantees a good fare for the driver.

But not for Sachindeep Singh on the evening of Sept. 19.

A few miles into the ride, his Uber app stopped working.

Mr. Singh’s work permit had expired at midnight and, like Canada, Uber was putting him on notice.

Resistance or Terror: The Importance of Dosage

These days, my two favorite bookshops in Paris and London are devoting a full shelf to books on or inspired by Hamas’s “Al-Aqsa Storm” October 7 invasion of Israel.

Some of these books offer various accounts of what happened on that day and could be classed as extended reportages of the kind news magazines offered in the good old days of print journalism. The most interesting of these, Trey Yingst’s Black Saturday, which broadens its scope to offer a portrayal of the subsequent war in Gaza. Because the author is a television reporter, his fast-paced reportage often resembles a newsreel. That, however, does not prevent him from offering often deep insights into the mind-sets of the two adversaries.

Bill Blair doesn’t know what happened in his office, and he’s fine with that

Bill Blair knows how to be a witness. The career cop and former Toronto police chief has even trained other officers on how to testify. He knows how to stick to facts and not let lawyers entice him into speculative testimony in areas where he doesn’t want to go.

And the place he didn’t want to go to when he testified at the foreign-interference inquiry on Friday was inside his own office.

Tim Walz’s China ties are just too deep to ignore

Why would the Department of Homeland Security be so concerned about Tim Walz’s China ties that his name repeatedly comes up in internal communications and classified documents?

According to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, whistleblowers have revealed “serious concerns among DHS personnel regarding a longstanding connection between the Chinese Communist Party and Minnesota Governor Timothy James Walz.”

Man in possession of firearms arrested outside of Trump rally in Coachella Valley

Vem Miller, 49, was found to be illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine

Authorities in California announced that an arrest was made prior to former President Donald Trump’s rally in California on Saturday.

Just before 5 pm, deputies assigned to Trump’s rally in the Coachella Valley contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive.

The male driver, who officials identified as Vem Miller, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was found to be illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.

This must be some kind of record for most assassination attempts during one election!

Trudeau’s Doctor’s and Architects Sleeping In Ottawa Homeless Shelter

As attitudes toward immigrants shift, this Ottawa shelter is just trying to keep them warm

Ashley Potter looks through a rack of donated winter clothing, where there are more than a few Ottawa Senators jerseys hanging amid the winter coats and sweaters.

Soon, new immigrants to Canada might find themselves supporters of Ottawa’s hockey team.

“We have to make sure that we’re getting people dressed properly to be able to brave the elements of their first Canadian winter,” Potter told CBC Radio’s The House.

No Canadian homeless anymore?
