Trump Debates Harris, Muir, and Davis to Stalemate
Kamala Harris crossed the stage, extended her hand to Donald Trump, and introduced herself. She won, unlike her dazed boss in June, the first 10 seconds of the presidential debate. This orchestrated civility yielded to angry squints, interruptions, shaking her head, inappropriate laughter, and face dances when her opponent spoke.
The debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in Philadelphia broadcast on ABC News came across as a far more competitive and combative affair than June’s debate between Trump and Joe Biden.

Trudeau’s Canada: The Share of Households Struggling To Make Ends Meet Jumps 50%
The struggle is real, according to nearly a third of Canadian households. This morning Statistics Canada (Stat Can) released the 2022 Canadian Housing Survey, a bi-annual window into the cost of living across the country. The latest findings reveal that both renters and homeowners are increasingly struggling. Renters were most likely to report financial difficulty, but homeowners aren’t faring well either. It’s not just mortgage costs, as the fastest-growing demographic experiencing financial difficulty was mortgage-free homeowners.
China Casting the Decisive Vote in U.S. Election
The U.S. Department of Justice on September 4 announced it was seizing 32 internet domains “used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns colloquially referred to as ‘Doppelganger.'” DOJ also announced criminal charges against two Russian media executives.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control at the same time designated 10 individuals and two entities “as part of a coordinated U.S. government response to Moscow’s malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election.” The State Department also took actions against Russian parties for such conduct.
GUNTER: With Trudeau at the helm, expect more Liberal MPs to bow out
“Abandon ship! All hands, abandon ship!”
If that wasn’t printed on a banner over the entrance to the hall the federal Liberals have been using for their national caucus in Nanaimo this week, it should have been.
The teenage terrorists of the ‘Islamic State’
The Austrian teenager who was shot dead last week after firing a vintage rifle at German police in Munich is thought to have been influenced by Islamist extremism. But 18-year-old Emrah I., from a small town in the Salzburg region, hardly attended his local mosque, nor did he grow a beard or wear a long gown.
The only clue that might have predicted his behavior in Munich was in early 2023, when Austrian police, investigating complaints about a fight at his school, found videos from a computer game on his phone. In these, he had decorated scenes with anAl Qaeda flag.
But after finding nothing else, police now believe that in the intervening months, the teenager was radicalized online.
RCMP Lifts Veil on Use of Emerging Technologies to Fight Crime
The RCMP says it installed tools on digital devices to covertly collect electronic evidence in 32 cases over a recent five-year period.
The criminal offences being investigated in these cases from 2017 to 2022 involved national security, illicit drugs, financial misdeeds and other serious matters.
The national police force disclosed the statistics Tuesday in a report that provides details about various operational technologies, some of them little known to the public.
JD Vance SCHOOLS CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Immigration and Cat Memes
U.S. Senator and GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance went into the post-debate spin room and exposed the media’s omissive biases when covering the effects of the border disaster in small towns like Springfield, Ohio. It took cat memes to get the media to look at the story.
Pro-Palestinian activists charged with criminally harassing Immigration Minister Marc Miller
Three pro-Palestinian activists were arrested and charged with criminally harassing Marc Miller, a Montreal MP and the federal immigration minister, prompting a group of protesters to rally at the Montreal courthouse to denounce the arrests as a violation of the right to freedom of expression.
Samar Alkhdour is one of those activists.
One of those situations where you want both to lose.
Fact Check Reveals Interesting Fact About Armed Teachers
Fact-checking is an odd industry. We’ve seen plenty of examples of “fact-checks” that seemingly dispute the actual facts, ignoring the plethora of evidence supporting an initial claim, all because the fact-checker really wanted the claim to be false.
Michael Higgins: The Carney-Trudeau political romance will likely end in tears
The courtship by Justin Trudeau of financial guru Mark Carney is finally seeing them in a political embrace.
The union, however, can be expected to end in tears as it has for other smart, competent and principled people. Such people tend to threaten the prime minister and it does not do to bruise Trudeau’s ego.
Queen Elizabeth statue ‘does not resemble her in any shape or form’
A bronze statue commemorating Elizabeth II has been ridiculed following its unveiling in Northern Ireland.
One councillor said it does not resemble its subject “in any shape or form”.
Gun control group calls Trudeau government’s buyback program a ‘waste’ of money
The Trudeau government is losing a key ally in its efforts to take hundreds of thousands of military-style firearms out of circulation, jeopardizing one of the top items in its public security agenda.
Launched in 2020, the federal government’s plan to buy back and destroy firearms it has banned — such as AR-15s — has long been vilified by firearms industry groups and the Conservative Party of Canada.
It Looks Like Trump May Have Helped Himself in the Debate
I don’t think it helps to just say what people want to hear. The truth matters. And the truth is that it was not a great debate for Donald Trump on Tuesday night. I suspect he did little to no debate prep in advance, and every time Kamala baited him, he took the bait.

Justin Trudeau’s flock is abandoning its shepherd
Oct. 22, 1844, was known as the Great Disappointment to followers of William Miller, an American preacher who promised the second coming of Jesus Christ would come on that day. (That was, in fact, the revised date, after his previous prophecy forgot to adjust for the transition from BC to AD.) When Jesus did not end up making his earthly return, Millerites, as they came to be known, were bitterly dismayed, and many immediately left the flock. Some broke off to form their own Adventist groups with separate beliefs about Christ’s return, but Millerism itself was over (even if Miller remained steadfast in his prophecies until his death in 1849).
The lesson: when a movement can’t hang onto its most ardent followers, it is as good as done.
