Derek Burney: A wake-up call from RBC’s Dave McKay

Years ago, it was customary for Canadian bank CEOs and other senior business executives to opine candidly to shareholders and clients on public policy challenges facing Canada. As public attitudes and moods evolved, and because of deference to political correctness and woke trends or business prudence, executives became more circumspect, and interventions diminished in frequency and depth. Speeches adopted the word salad approach of many politicians, tilting to prevailing winds of likes and dislikes, while avoiding messages that might be construed as controversial or insensitive. Refreshingly, RBC’s CEO Dave McKay broke the conventional cone of silence recently in remarks to the Canadian Club in Toronto when he declared flatly that Canada is “definitely on the wrong path” and “we’ve got to make fundamental change to get back on the (right) track.” He cited specifically the need for a more competitive tax regime and a tighter relationship with the U.S.

It’s going to be very difficult to reverse the damage Trudeau has done, we are nearly a 3rd world country thanks to mass immigration from incompatible cultures, ruinous economic, environmental and social policy.

Canada’s New Young Conservatives

“Young people will change the world,” we often hear. And the implied change is always the same: a leftward shift. Youth are naturally rebellious, we’re told, and they’re bound to cast aside hidebound conservative ways. This has generally been true for Western and Central European youth, who have tended to lean left. The French coalition of far-left parties known as the New Popular Front got nearly half the 18- to 24-year-old vote and 38 percent of the 25- to 34-year-old vote in the last election, and the German Green Party would hold a majority today if only 18- to 34-year-olds voted. But now youth voting patterns seem to be changing. The surge of right-wing parties in recent European elections won significant support from people of all ages. And we can expect the proportion of right-wing youth to grow as liberal and left-wing parties get crazier. Indeed, this is what has happened in Canada.

Forget the Polls: Here Are the Numbers That Matter

The 2024 presidential election is rapidly becoming the most polled election in Pennsylvania history. As the most important battleground state political observers scour every poll taken in Penn’s woods for some hint as to the status of what again is likely to be a very close battle for the commonwealth’s 19 Electoral votes.

Almost without exception every poll has Donald Trump and Kamala Harris within the margin of error. As such, the drama that surrounds every point or half point change in the polling has made for interesting parlor speculation. But, polling is so imprecise and the race is so close that the polls are in fact meaningless in terms of discerning who is winning the horse race.

​​​Porno allegedly showing Diddy with more famous A-list celeb being ‘shopped around,’ lawyer says

A pornographic video allegedly showing Sean “Diddy” Combs and an even more famous A-list celebrity is being “shopped around” Hollywood, according to a lawyer for one of the music mogul’s latest accusers.

The explicit video supposedly shows Combs alongside a “more high-profile” person — who appears unaware they’re being filmed, lawyer Ariel Mitchell-Kidd told NewsNation’s Laura Ingle, without identifying the celeb.

“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around, but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video,” Mitchell-Kidd said.

The ‘task force’ Mark Carney was hired to lead has no members but him

Ignatieff but without the charm.

OTTAWA — Weeks after Mark Carney’s appointment as chair of the prime minister’s special new task force on economic growth, his outfit appears to have no firm deadline for its findings, no scheduled events and no other members except Carney.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the former governor of Canada’s and England’s central banks and a rumoured Liberal leadership contender would be chair of the new “Leader’s Task Force on Economic Growth,” at the Liberal caucus retreat in early September. Carney’s role means he will be working for the Liberal party and not the government.

Is Trudeau sabotaging this guy?

Defeating Hezbollah Will Strengthen the West

The Israeli military campaign against Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists is not just an exercise in safeguarding Israel from suffering further bombardment from tens of thousands of missiles and attack drones.

An Israeli victory against Hezbollah’s terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon is vital to guaranteeing the security of the entire Western alliance. It will send a clear signal to Iran — Hezbollah’s paymasters — that the ayatollahs’ unremitting campaign against the West and its allies is ultimately doomed to failure.

Delicate TTC tracks mean slow subways are ‘new normal,’ advocacy group worries

Advocates are raising concerns that a web of restricted speed zones across Toronto’s transit network is making slow subways the city’s “new normal” as the rail system shows its age.

The TTC has introduced restricted speed zones for trains in places where “certain defects have been documented” in order to reduce the wear and tear suffered by older portions of the track.

There will come a day when no one will be left who can recall when TO wasn’t a shithole.

Hostin Claims Trump Is Like a Nazi Literally Planning a Second Kristallnacht

Sunny Hostin – shit for brains

Less than a month after the second assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) spewed dangerous, incendiary rhetoric against him on the Monday episode of ABC’s The View. According to her, Trump was a Nazi who was literally planning a second Kristallnacht but against “black and brown communities,” if he was to get elected again.

Usual Suspects join Australian, New Zealand peers in pushing for Palestine statehood

Heather Mcpherson MP

OTTAWA – Canadian members of Parliament are working with their colleagues in Australia and New Zealand to try and convince their respective governments to jointly recognize Palestinian statehood.

NDP MP Heather McPherson, who is leading an effort to recruit Canadian MPs, said building on work the three governments have already done might be the best leverage to advance a two-state solution.
