Liberal MP says her constituents are ‘very adamant’ Justin Trudeau needs to go

‘I heard it from dozens and dozens of people — he’s no longer the right leader,’ Alexandra Mendes says

Quebec Liberal MP Alexandra Mendes said Monday she’s heard from “dozens and dozens” of constituents over the summer telling her it’s time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step aside after nearly nine years at the top.

Speaking to Radio-Canada, CBC’s French-language service, on the sidelines of the Liberal caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C., Mendes said her constituents are “very adamant the prime minister needs to go.”

Au revoir, France: your synagogues and churches are burned

This week I read a chilling article by historian Marc Knobel about burned synagogues. Meanwhile, in France, a church burns every two weeks, while 15 mosques go up.

Just a week ago, a man with a Palestinian flag and a keffiyeh set fire to the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, in the south of the country. In May, they burned the synagogue in Rouen.

And this week I read a chilling article by historian Marc Knobel about burned synagogues:

“It all started on October 1, 2000. What happened that day? A synagogue in the 19th arrondissement of Paris receives threats. A Molotov cocktail is thrown into the courtyard of the synagogue. The same day, a Molotov cocktail is thrown into a kosher restaurant in Paris. And, during the service, an unknown person leaves another in the courtyard of the Chnei Or school in Aubervilliers.

Harris Will Defeat Herself During Debate

There is no authentic Kamala Harris to unleash in this debate. She simply cannot speak extemporaneously for the length of time required.

BC News has now published the final rules for Tuesday night’s presidential debate, and they are essentially identical to those which governed the June 27 encounter between former President Trump and President Biden on CNN. They contain nothing that should worry anyone who can stand on stage for 90 minutes and provide coherent two-minute answers to questions involving the major issues of the day.

Yet Vice President Harris will be on the stage with Trump Tuesday night precisely because her boss couldn’t get over that low bar. Nor is it obvious that she can clear it either.

‘Something must change’: Liberals are under siege in Montreal days before byelection

MONTREAL — It’s considered a Liberal fortress, but these days it feels like the ramparts of Lasalle—Émard—Verdun are shaking. Who knows? Maybe the byelection here on Sept. 16 could send the Trudeau Liberals to the dungeons.

Daniel Wiseman isn’t sure yet how he wants things to turn out. The lifelong separatist who has lived in Verdun for over 30 years has no idea who he will vote for in just over a week.

UK: Starmer’s Dictatorship?

Britain’s new leader, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in the tried-and-true way of Communist dictators, has begun his first term by initiating a great purge of British dissidents.

British protesters, denounced as “far right thugs,” are being put behind bars faster than the prison services can absorb. More than 1,000 people who have been arrested and more than 500 charged, are waiting for their court appearances in police holding cells: prisons have run out of space. As in the most expert dictatorship, even children and grandfathers have been arrested by the police for “rioting”. The youngest child arrested and charged is just 11 years old.

The Curious Career of Cultural Christianity

Among the many abrupt twists and turns in our online-driven, unstable social life, one of the oddest is the recent career of “Cultural Christianity” (hereafter “CC”). CC refers to the merely passive – and precarious – residue of Christianity in many people’s lives, not a fully living faith. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was often denigrated as a sharp decline from the robust religiosity once quite evident in America. Indeed, back then it seemed there was an emerging “Catholic moment” – the title of a 1987 book by our late friend, Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, published three years before he converted from Lutheranism. Evangelicals, too, were lamenting “The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind,” the lack of substance among their otherwise committed and politically influential fellows. There seemed to be a mood for Christian renewal.

Canada: ‘DEI Expert’ says antisemitism definition will be used ‘to attack Palestinian activism, promote Islamophobia’

White people are the target of DEI scammery.

Kehillat Beth Israel Congregation in Ottawa has invited former J-Space president and leftist “anti-racism expert” Karen Mock to speak about antisemitism. J-Space is the Canadian counterpart to J-Street in the U.S. The announcement was circulated in a newsletter by the organization Israel Now, which was founded by Meir Weinstein, former Canadian national director of the Jewish Defense League.

UK: Police too Slow to Arrest ‘Jihad‘ Protesters at Gaza Rallies Says Top Cop

London’s police were too slow to arrest at the endless series of Palestine protests that followed the October 7th terror attacks on Israel last year and would act more quickly now, a senior officer has said.

Talking tough after the fact is hardly inspiring of trust.

KLEIN: The left’s agenda is destroying Canadian identity, threatening democracy

Canada has long been celebrated as a land of opportunity, freedom, and hope. People from around the globe have aspired to become Canadian, drawn by our reputation as a welcoming, fair, and democratic nation.

But today, our country’s identity is under siege, not from outside invaders but from within — by an ideology that seeks to erase what it means to be Canadian. The left’s relentless attack on our values, history, and sense of belonging is tearing at the very fabric of our democracy.
