As Toronto falls apart …

Fossil fuel ads on the TTC will now face pre-screening

Some fossil fuel advocate advertising will now be pre-screened by TTC staff before it runs on vehicles, as the transit agency takes steps to ensure the groups are making factual claims in their messages to the public.

The TTC board directed staff to review all future advertising from a pair of fossil fuel advocates to confirm the claims they’re making have been independently verified. The board has also asked staff to propose changes to current policies that would allow the city to decline fossil fuel ads if they don’t align with Toronto’s own climate change policy, TransformTO.

The TTC is in dire financial straits so it makes sense to strangle ad revenue on the say so of a few fear mongering ideologues.

Does Poilievre Represent a Threat to Canadian Identity?

On his way to the Conservative leadership, Pierre Poilievre called Jean Charest a Liberal and Patrick Brown a liar. More recently, he’s called opioid policy in British Columbia wacko and Montreal’s mayor incompetent. He’s expressed support for Freedom Convoy protesters and disdain for lobbyists. He wants to defund the CBC. Will he coarsen the national character?

If I’m being honest, I have to say I’m not particularly worried.

Harris is ‘underwater in our polling’, Michigan representative says

A Democratic representative in a key battleground Senate race in Michigan told supporters she’s concerned about Kamala Harris’s chances in the state’s presidential election.

“I’m not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan,” Elissa Slotkin said at a fundraiser earlier this month, according to Axios. “We have her underwater in our polling.”

What high grocery prices say about the dysfunction in Canada’s economy

Some argue that Canadians do have an option for affordable groceries at the discount chains of the major supermarket chains: No Frills (Loblaws), Freshco (Sobeys) and Food Basics (Metro). Indeed, Loblaw Cos. Inc. is piloting an ultradiscount grocery store in Ontario, No Name, that promises lower prices by stripping away even more frills.

However, the prices at these discount chains are not nearly as attractive as those found at the hard discounters in other countries (even in the U.S., Trader Joe’s and Aldi are thriving).

Neil Sharma: Liberals big government has left Canadians struggling for the basics

The federal Liberals are proving that big government does indeed impoverish the populations they govern.

Canada’s in the throes of a seemingly endless cost of living crisis, and while it’s doubtless a consequence of federal policies like mass immigration and the increasingly punitive carbon tax, the country’s over-inflated civil service is an outsized factor.

Dems can only escape Kamala Harris’ woeful record by censoring bad news of admin’s failures

Censorship is the only hope for increasingly desperate Democrat grandees as Kamala Harris flounders in swing states and among Hispanic voters against Donald Trump.

The vapid candidate they installed at the last minute is shaping up to be even less palatable to voters than her predecessor Joe Biden. Apart from her off-putting personality and inability to string together a coherent sentence, her biggest liability is the illegal migrant invasion.

‘Salad bar extremism’ has come to Canada, intelligence report says

A new kind of violence known as “salad bar extremism” has come to Canada, warns an internal government report obtained by Global News.

The term refers to attacks fuelled by a mix of views rather than a coherent ideology, said the report, which cited the recent Edmonton city hall shooting.

“While some extremists are assessed to have a primary motivation, others are influenced by a combination of beliefs,” said the Strategic Threat Assessment.

“Salad Bar Extremism” is just the latest PC effort designed to avoid offending Muslims or Sikhs etc.

Terror on the home front?

…Closer to home, Canadians are increasingly concerned about the threat of rising jihadist-inspired terrorism.

Prior to ongoing Hamas-Israel war, Canadian authorities had charged only a handful of individuals for jihadist-motivated terrorism. Recent cases include a knife attack by an ISIL adherent in British Columbia and an instance of incitement/recruitment in support of terrorism in Montreal (both events happened in 2023). But within the past two months alone, there have been five separate incidents where Canadians or people with domicile in Canada have either launched jihadist-motivated attacks or been involved in their planning.

‘Doing a Biden’ is new international shorthand for ousting past-due leaders

When President Joe Biden exited the presidential race to make way for Vice President Kamala Harris this summer, he knew his decision would be closely watched around the world.

What he didn’t realize is that it would make “doing a Biden” the new political shorthand for an embattled national leader who sees the writing on the wall and steps aside for others within his party. Or the move’s ripple effects: setting an example for those within democracies closely tied to the United States to pressure their own leaders to step down.

Anti-Israel protesters hijacked Indigenous suffering to promote hate

Hundreds of students from 15 schools within the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) attended a field trip on Sept. 18. The goal of the trip was to raise students’ awareness about the Indigenous community’s “efforts to address mercury contamination and advocate for their rights regarding mining and logging activities within their territory.” Parents were assured that their children would not participate in the “rally” but would “observe and learn from the presentations and discussions.”

Nothing new here. The Unholy alliance between the Liberal/Left and the Islamists is well established and so called allyship is really about infiltration and running cover for sinister agendas.

The TDSB and OISE have long been co-opted by perverse ideology.

Former Trudeau cabinet minister criticizes PMO over access to prime minister

Says his kids punched him out

Former foreign affairs minister Marc Garneau is criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office, saying that he was “never sure” if something conveyed to the Prime Minister’s Office “ever got to the prime minister’s ears.”

In an interview on Rosemary Barton Live airing Sunday, he said he felt the PMO “acted as a bit of a filter,” and that certain ministers had closer access to Trudeau, like childhood friends.

“There are occasions when a minister wants to talk directly to the prime minister. And I never felt, despite the fact that he said his door was always open, that was really something that he invited,” he told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.
