Another byelection loss forces Justin Trudeau’s Liberals to face a hard reality

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s grip on a nervous Liberal caucus is weaker today.

The separatist Bloc Québécois stole a Liberal seat in suburban Montreal and Trudeau’s ex-governing partner, the NDP, held onto a Winnipeg riding — results that will embolden Trudeau’s internal critics, and gladden the hearts of his parliamentary Opposition, just as the minority government opened a fall sitting in the Commons.

Trudeau and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh both saw their parties lose big shares of the popular vote.

In short – Neither the LPC or NDP will want an election anytime soon after these results.

Hundreds of Hezbollah Operatives’ Pagers Explode in Apparent Attack Across Lebanon

BEIRUT—Pagers carried by hundreds of Hezbollah operatives unexpectedly exploded Tuesday, leaving many of them injured in an unprecedented event that struck across Lebanon.

The affected pagers were from a new shipment that the group received in recent days, people familiar with the matter said. A Hezbollah official said hundreds of fighters had such devices, speculating that malware may have caused the devices to heat up and explode. The official said some people felt the pagers heat up and disposed of them before they burst.

Geoff Russ: Elon Musk could save taxpayers millions. Of course Liberals won’t hear of it

In the minds of the paranoid and possibly deranged, Elon Musk lives rent-free. The mere mention of his name over the weekend was enough to make Liberals think like Enoch Powell and awaken a very tired and uniquely Canadian defence of protectionism.

Last Friday, the Prime Minister’s Office announced that the federal government is extending a $2.14-billion loan to Telesat Lightspeed so it can “expand internet and 5G networks in communities across Canada, with affordable, high-speed broadband connectivity.”

Psst … When it came to immigration Enoch Powell was right.

Bloc Québécois win longtime Liberal seat and deliver stunning blow to Trudeau in Montreal byelection

Voters have dealt Prime Minister Justin Trudeau another devastating byelection loss, this time picking a Bloc Québécois candidate in a Montreal riding that’s been held by the Liberals for most of the last century.

The defeat in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun is Trudeau’s second byelection loss in a safe Liberal seat in the last three months and it raises questions about his long-term viability as party leader.

Bloc candidate Louis-Philippe Sauvé very narrowly beat Liberal Laura Palestini — a stunning upset given the governing party’s past strength in this part of southwest Montreal. NDP candidate Craig Sauvé finished third.

Chairman Chow Warns Drivers – ‘You are going to pay for bad behavior’

Toronto drivers caught blocking intersections across the city will now face significantly steeper fines, Mayor Olivia Chow announced Monday.

At a news conference near King Street and University Avenue, Chow and Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie confirmed that the province approved a request to up the fines for this infraction, which Chow said “infuriates” other motorists.

“These drivers that blindly rush out into the middle of the intersection, even when they didn’t have room in front of them to get through… the light changes and everyone is stuck,” she said.

What Are the Rules?

Donald Trump was targeted by a shooter for the second time in two months, and, somehow, the former president is the one being blamed for it.

Consider this a forlorn cry for exposition and specificity. Will someone, somewhere, in the name of all that is good and true, tell me what the bloody rules are for determining whether rhetorical bombast counts as mere everyday hyperbole or as the ineluctable prerequisite to political violence? I have looked and looked for a pattern, but, despite having pried up the floorboards and scoured the attic and investigated every last corner of the basement, I can find no standard that I find satisfactory. Surely, there must be more undergirding all this than just Calvinball?

Has Banning ‘Assault-Style’ Weapons in Canada Improved Public Safety?

Four years ago, the federal government prohibited “1,500 types” of “assault-style” firearms. Has public safety improved as promised?

The 2020 ban instantly made it a crime for federally licensed firearm users to buy, sell, transport, import, export, or use hundreds of thousands formerly legal rifles and shotguns. According to the government, the ban targets “assault weapons,” but in reality they are classic semi-automatic rifles and shotguns that have been popular with hunters and sport shooters for more than 100 years. Ottawa announced at the time that newly prohibited firearms were to be confiscated and their legal owners to be “grandfathered” or receive “fair compensation.” That hasn’t happened.

Poll finds Conservatives have 26-point lead over Liberals

The Conservatives have a 26-point lead over the Liberals when it comes to people certain to vote in the next election, according to a poll conducted by Abacus Data.

Freeland allowing more 30-year mortgages, higher values for insured mortgages

OTTAWA — Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced Monday Canadians will be able to borrow for longer, while also increasing the maximum value for insured mortgages, potentially giving buyers more money in the housing market.

I don’t see this helping many people but I always get a laugh out of Liberals pretending they solved a huge problem while conveniently failing to acknowledge their disastrous immigration policy is responsible.

HHS Opens Investigation into Alleged Anti-White Discrimination at Cleveland Clinic

Now showing more anti white bullshit

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Office for Civil Rights concluded on Tuesday that it has “sufficient authority and cause” to investigate allegations that the Cleveland Clinic violated federal civil-rights law by discriminating against white patients.

The investigation was opened in response to a complaint filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) on behalf of the medical watchdog Do No Harm on August 14. The complaint alleges that the Cleveland Clinic “treats white individuals differently from certain racial and ethnic minorities in the tailoring and provision of services provided through its Minority Stroke Program and Minority Men’s Health Center.

Duchess of Sussex cropped out of photo used by Royal family for Duke’s 40th birthday

The Duchess of Sussex has been cropped from a photograph shared online by the Royal family to mark Prince Harry’s 40th birthday.

The King and the Prince of Wales took the surprising step of using their official social media profiles to send the Duke of Sussex birthday wishes on Sunday.

The Royal family account on X, formerly Twitter, posted a message that said: “Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!” It was accompanied by a picture of the Duke, taken during an official royal engagement in Dublin in 2018, when the Sussexes were still working members of the family.
