Colby Cosh: Lululemon’s sweetheart deal for temporary foreign workers

Monday’s most interesting non-Post news item came to us from the Investigative Journalism Foundation’s Zak Vescera, who published details of a sweetheart deal that the garment maker Lululemon Athletica squeezed out of the federal government last year. Lululemon is building a new global headquarters in Vancouver, where it originated, and by strategic bullying it got the feds to allow it to bring in 116 high-wage temporary foreign workers (TFWs) without the usual mandatory efforts to hire local Canadians first.

Justin Trudeau ‘unleashed’ is the Liberals’ new weapon in their battle with Pierre Poilievre

“I believe we’re going to win everything!” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded when asked this week whether he thought the Liberals will win Monday’s byelection in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun.

“We’ve got everything going, man!” Trudeau declared, as he dashed out of his party’s final caucus meeting Wednesday in Nanaimo, a big smile on face

No, 2024 Is Not Over Yet

Reports of the Trump era’s end are overrated.

If presidential elections were forensic matches, then Kamala Harris would be on her way to the White House. The vice president won Tuesday’s debate on points, baiting Donald Trump into diverting from his core message that Harris is too incompetent and too liberal for the Oval Office. The evening was a missed opportunity for Trump to build on his slight, margin-of-error lead in the latest New York Times/Siena poll. Harris — with help from the moderators — emerged unscathed.

What Scared Ford’s CEO in China

Jim Farley had just returned from China. What the Ford Motor chief executive found during the May visit made him anxious: The local automakers were pulling away in the electric-vehicle race.

In an early-morning call with fellow board member John Thornton, an exasperated Farley unloaded.

The Chinese carmakers are moving at light speed, he told Thornton, a former Goldman Sachs executive who spent years as a senior banker in China. They are using artificial intelligence and other tech in cars that is unlike anything available in the U.S. These Chinese EV makers are using a low-cost supply base to undercut the competition on price, offering slick digital features and aggressively expanding to overseas markets.

“John, this is an existential threat,” Farley said.

He has much more than China to worry about.

Whistleblower: Kimberly Cheatle reportedly promoted a female agent who failed a key exam, then assigned her to ‘protect’ Trump in Butler

Just three days ago, Melania Trump shared a video to social media, discussing her feelings since the attempted assassination of her husband and our president, in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th; from Melania’s perspective, the “silence” in the aftermath feels “heavy,” and there is “definitely” more to the story

Democrats’ Immigration Crisis Pushes Ohioans To The Breaking Point: ‘Who’s Protecting Us?’

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Springfield, Ohio is a blue-collar town of roughly 60,000 residents with a story that’s familiar to dozens of Rust Belt communities across the Midwest that have been transformed by job loss, opioids, and now, open migration.

Schuler’s Bakery greets visitors on the south side of town, not far from the interstate, as a relic of resilience having withstood the challenges faced by a declining economy for decades. Founded in 1937, the local sweet spot can now be found in two locations offering customers the kinds of cakes and pastries that define the small-town memories carried for generations long after residents have left.

Psychologists explain why Tim Walz – Kamala Harris’ VP pick – tells so many tall tales

Great Walz Of China

Democrats have painted Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick Tim Walz as a squeaky clean military veteran, small-town teacher and well-loved football coach.

But as media scrutiny of the Democratic nominee ramps up, fact-checkers are increasingly poking holes in his public image.

Mr Walz, governor of Minnesota and a less practiced politician on the national stage, has been accused of distorting the truth about his military record, his son’s birth, his time as a football coach, and a DUI arrest after doing 100mph in a 55mph zone.

Psychologists have suggested his string of mistruths represent a worrisome pattern of dishonesty.

Commonwealth chief candidates all back slavery reparations

The fraught debate about reparations for slavery and colonialism is likely to dominate the King’s first meeting with Commonwealth leaders since he ascended the throne.

The organisation, which has 56 members, has long resisted tackling the legacy of slavery in a public forum but a reckoning with its roots in the British Empire seems unavoidable next month with the election of a new secretary-general.

All three candidates running to succeed Baroness Scotland of Asthal have backed the idea of making amends for slavery and colonialism.

An American Insurgency

The deadly infiltration of those who wish us harm.

We have experienced the progressive socialist leftists bantering around the word insurrection for quite some time — well, since January 6, 2021. It is rather interesting that no one has ever been charged with such. And from a military perspective, January 6th was hardly an insurrection. Heck, no one was armed, and only the protesters were assaulted, shot, and even killed. However, there is something happening in America that we had best realize before it is too late. There is an insurgency taking place in America. It is an action happening by non-state, non-uniformed belligerents who are in this country illegally…thanks to the open borders policies of the Biden-HARRIS administration. And sadly, in some cases, there are Americans who are joining this insurgency to the detriment of the safety and security of our Republic.

So About That Rigged Trump/Harris Debate…

For the past few days, the silver tongues from the left and right chattering classes have been hissing at each other like angry cats fighting over which one will be the last feline to be put in  the stewpot in Ohio.

They’ve fought over media favoritism and selective partisan fact checking from the Trump Harris debate. Even the Germans are closing their borders now, but the Democrats in America and the Biden/Harris administration keep the gates wide open without complaint by corporate left-wing media.

And most of the post-debate bitching sounded removed from the concerns of Americans in real life, the bitching separated from reality, hollow screams from hollow men from the bottom of a long hollow tube.

Canada tried to copy New Zealand’s gun buyback program — what went wrong?

The Canadian government sought to follow New Zealand’s lead in 2020 when it launched a program to force gun owners to surrender military-style firearms. But while New Zealand acted quickly in 2019, Ottawa is still struggling to implement its own plan.

The government of then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced its firearms buyback program shortly after a white supremacist killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch in March 2019.

SLOBODIAN: The laughable claim Canadians have ‘access’ to Trudeau

Former Liberal MP Sukhminder Singh Dhaliwal broke a sweat Wednesday trumpeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as an “authentic leader” of “ordinary, working-class Canadians” a.k.a. peoplekind.

Trudeau stood there nodding, soaking in the no doubt personally pre-approved message of heaping praise, something he’s gotten so little of for so a long time.

KOOP: A quiet rebellion against Trudeau’s leadership

For months now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has faced torrents of bad news that make winning re-election seem less and less likely.

The Liberals have suffered from chronically sagging poll numbers. The most recent poll from Leger finds the party has the support of only 25% of voters. This is dwarfed by support for the Conservatives, who enjoy the support of 45% of those surveyed. Under the rules of our electoral system, this would translate into a landslide government for Pierre Poilievre and a thorough electoral thrashing for Trudeau.

Jordan Peterson: I am ready for my re-education. Who will be my tutor?

The fact that I have been required to undergo an open-ended course of re-education in social media use by the body that regulates my profession in Ontario, the College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysts, is both a matter of public record and something that has become relatively well known. Recently, however, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that I had no right to appeal that decision. That decision exhausted the legal avenues open to me concerning this matter.
