MONTREAL—The front window of the NDP’s campaign office in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun features a small selection of flags.
Some represent countries, like Ukraine and Sudan, that are currently mired in conflict. Others represent Indigenous rights and LGBTQ2+ causes.
The Palestinian flag, the largest of the set, is affixed above them all.
I bet we have a Hamas party soon.
To most observers, even on the political Right, it was hard to avoid the conclusion that Donald Trump lost the debate with Kamala Harris. Trump was unfocused, blustery, and unprepared, leaving many golden opportunities to go after the vice president unexploited. This was entirely Trump’s fault, and there’s no point in pretending otherwise. His debate loss is mostly his fault.
Mostly. It is also true, however, that Trump was put at a disadvantage by the ABC News moderators, who repeatedly intervened to “fact-check” Trump’s statements, but let Harris pass unharassed. Moreover, their questions were sometimes bad jokes. For example, race is a major issue in American politics and culture, and Kamala Harris, who is black, has joined just about every major far-left racialist cause. In 2020, she even promoted a fund to bail out leftists jailed in Minneapolis for race rioting. The Biden-Harris administration has gone all-in on the increasingly unpopular DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) campaigns.
Canada announced at the latest NATO summit in July it would be meeting the alliance’s military spending target by 2032, but Ottawa now says the plan to do so cannot yet be shared publicly.
After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the commitment on July 11, the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) requested figures from the Department of National Defence (DND).
They don’t have a plan.
So, Mark Carney is supposed to fix the economic image of the Liberals. Justin Trudeau’s economics is a failure and has hurt Canada. Jagmeet Singh’s socialism is worse, for it is the proven recipe for national poverty.
Carney has financial credentials. What would he say about economic policy? He could suggest that the Liberals adopt the Conservative economic plan.
Donald Trump has confirmed there will not be a debate rematch with Kamala Harris in a lengthy Truth Social post after 48 hours of speculation.
After publicly tamping down calls for another debate with the vice president, Trump delivered an unambiguous rejection of the idea Thursday – saying there ‘will be no third debate.’
Trump made the declarative statement in all-caps on his site, hours after a new Reuters/Ipsos poll showed a majority of registered voters concluded Harris won the debate.

While voters may have tired of him, Trudeau looks forward to a ‘choice’ election
Standing by the docks in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., on Monday morning, Liberal MP Alexandre Mendes told Radio-Canada she came to this week’s Liberal caucus retreat with a message from her constituents: “dozens and dozens” of them were “adamant” the Liberal Party needed a new leader.
Speaking later to CBC’s Power & Politics, Mendes said it was hard to pinpoint a specific reason or issue to explain her constituents’ feelings for the prime minister.
“It’s a very generalized … ‘we’re tired of his face’ kind of thing,” she explained.
It goes far beyond being tired of his smug face.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. — The U.S. Border Patrol station chief was worried.
On a late summer day in 2000, he pointed to the hidden inlets along the St. Lawrence River — perfect spots for smuggling drugs, guns and people.
Of particular concern were an influx of people from the Middle East. This was a year before the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Wow he’s so feminine!
Very demure! Very mindful!

Of course I am disappointed that Trump did not score another knockout. Expectations for Harris were low. Trump came in as the guy who just had knocked out the last guy.
In many ways, really, it was a good debate. It really was — in many ways. They got to talk. Trump did not have a crowd to play to, so he remained serious throughout the 90 minutes, without the showmanship and off-topic stories. The mikes were shut off while the other person spoke, so he could not interrupt her. That was great because it is terrible graphics to see a tall, strong, white man interrupting a weak, small, colored (black, Indian) woman. If anything, it was she who interrupted him — twice — and, as I had hoped, he responded with: “Excuse me, I am speaking.”
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies.
Telegraphing their plans? h/t patthedog
When Jagmeet Singh recorded his video declaring he had “ripped up the supply-and-confidence agreement,” it felt like the most decisive move he had made in a very long time.
I don’t see it happening on his say so.
The pretence that the UK’s new Labour government has moved away from the blatant anti-Semitism that was rife under its former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has been brutally exposed by the actions of David Lammy, the party’s new Foreign Secretary.
Prior to his appointment to one of the British government’s key positions in Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s new administration, Lammy had made his name as a Left-wing firebrand.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it recorded a record-high number of encounters with migrants between border posts on the Canada-U.S. border between October 2023 and July of this year.
It’s a pattern experts say could be a problem for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government as the question of illegal immigration heats up in a close-fought U.S. election.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records an “encounter” in its database when it comes across someone who is inadmissable to the U.S., or when border patrol officers find someone who has illegally crossed the border into the U.S. between border posts.
It may be the birthplace of McDonald’s and Burger King, but America is no longer the home of the world’s best burger.
According to the “Michelin Guide for burgers”, the best burger in the world is now found in Spain – a country better known for small plates, jamón ibérico and Ferran Adrià’s signature creations at the legendary El Bulli restaurant.
I blame Kamala.
