A month from tomorrow, the nation will chart its the course for the next four years. It may take a week after Election Day before some of the closer states make a call, but seeing how both campaigns are running down the closing stretch tells me election might not actually be as close as regime media will have you believe.
In today’s Canada, the cradle you’re born into increasingly dictates whether you’ll ever hold the keys to your own home. This isn’t just a market fluctuation. It’s a boiled frog phenomenon.
Incremental changes – the steady rise in home prices, gradual policy shifts and slow-moving supply constraints – went largely unchallenged. By the time the severity of the crisis was recognized, many prospective homeowners were already cooked.
An interesting article marred by the author’s omission of mass immigration as the primary cause of Canada’s housing crisis.
Vladimir Putin has demolished his favourite Black Sea holiday villa where regular Ukrainian drone attacks have made the area dangerous to visit.
Satellite images published by the Russian opposition website Proekt showed a gaping hole in the ground where Putin’s dacha near Sochi had once stood.
Overwhelmed by workload, public sector integrity commissioner asks for more money
Canada’s public service integrity watchdog says it’s so overwhelmed with tips about wrongdoing, from mismanagement to violations of departmental codes of conduct, that it needs to double its budget just to keep up.
Harriet Solloway, public sector integrity commissioner for just over a year, is warning the “crisis” could undermine her office’s mandate — to investigate wrongdoing in the federal public sector and protect whistleblowers from reprisal.
It is now, or should be, common knowledge that electric vehicles—cars, trucks, buses, bikes, scooters—under conditions of even low humidity or water damage, are prone to catching fire, owing to the unstable nature of the lithium-ion battery. As Chris Morrison writes at The Daily Skeptic, EVs are known to explode “with the force of a bomb blasting super-heated jets of flame, melting and decomposing nearby structural materials including metal and concrete, and sending vast amounts of toxic fumes into any enclosed atmosphere.”

The fact that people are celebrating on this solemn anniversary shows how deeply entrenched antisemitism has become
One year ago today, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, committing horrific atrocities. Since that day, Canadian Jews have existed in an extended state of mourning and grief, not only because of the horrific massacre and the ongoing captivity of the hostages trapped in the tunnels of Gaza, but also because of the denial, justification and even celebration of these events. The Jewish community should have had time to grieve, but were instead forced to grapple with new waves of antisemitism here in Canada.
Well Golly Gee Deb what can little old me do about it?
I didn’t import a hate cult by the hundreds of thousands, successive Canadian governments of all stripes did that.
It wasn’t me that encouraged “newcomers” to bring their ethnic and religious hatreds along with them. Multicult did that.
And if our universities churn out frothing at the mouth lunatics well it’s what our elites wanted and they know best.
Heck our current government subsidizes “anti-racist” hate groups that seek to criminalize dissent but only “right-wing dissent” lead by the brightest lights of Canada’s vibrant diversity.
If we did speak out about it we’d risk being called racists or worse Islamophobes!
I support Israel pity my own government seeks to rob me of my own nation.
No need for you and your tone deaf cronies to look in the mirror though.
No idea who these people are but I bet they probably would have called me a racist or Islamophobe on Oct 6. Heck they probably still do.
Its been one year since the horrific attacks of Oct 7 took place which saw hundreds taken hostage, and thousands killed or injured.
Words cannot describe the pain that so many felt, and still feel to this day.

The Royal New Zealand Navy has lost its first ship to the sea since World War Two, after one of its vessels ran aground off the coast of Samoa.
HMNZS Manawanui, a specialist diving and ocean imaging ship, came into trouble about one nautical mile from the island of Upolu on Saturday night local time, while conducting a survey of a reef.
It later caught fire before capsizing.
All 75 crew and passengers onboard were safely rescued overnight. Two people needed hospital treatment for minor injuries, one with a dislocated shoulder and another with a hurt back.
"Rescuers battled currents and winds that were pushing the life rafts and sea boats toward the… pic.twitter.com/gRLnCs5qG0

Canadian doctors warned to be on the lookout for scurvy
Scurvy is a disease that likely conjures up images of sickly sailors from hundreds of years ago, but doctors in Canada are being warned to look out for the condition now, as a result of growing food insecurity.
A report published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) details the case study of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with scurvy at a Toronto hospital last year.
No worries folks! Justin is doing OK! And he has a solution!
SURVEY: Feds @PrivyCouncilCA proposed renaming #inflation as “heat-flation” to persuade Canadians to associate rising cost of living with #climatechange, documents show.
The idea polled badly.https://t.co/5QTBJKmQ65 @environmentca @FinanceCanada #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/Pl2zSUu0mo— Holly Doan (@hollyanndoan) October 7, 2024
Hamas fired five rockets at central Israel from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, the IDF said on Monday, following the rocket sirens that sounded in the area starting at 11:00 a.m. local time.
Alerts sounded in Tel Aviv, Kfar Chabad, and Rishon Lezion, among other localities in the country’s center.
The military noted that rocket impacts had been identified.
No going back. I wonder what the ME will look like a year from today.
A year after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, a new Leger poll suggests younger and left-wing Canadians are markedly more likely to support Hamas, while older and right-of-centre Canadians favour Israel. The poll was commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies for the National Post.

If it were a movie, it might feel a little too cliched: Russia funnelling money through a maze of shell accounts, a ploy to push stories favourable to a foreign power, and a supergroup of telegenic stars of the right wing media-sphere.
At least, that’s if the allegations laid out in an explosive 32-page American indictment are proven true. The claim is this: that a fledgling Tennessee-based media company took $10 million (U.S.) — provided by Russians who they all claimed was a fictional European businessman — in order to recruit a gaggle of high-profile YouTubers and post videos that, at best, inflamed existing American social divides and in some cases pushed untrue version of news events designed to paint the Kremlin in an advantageous light.
