NDP defends Montréal byelection candidate Craig Sauvé over Palestinian flag on pamphlet

The NDP is leaping to the defence of Montréal byelection candidate Craig Sauvé after he was criticized for using a Palestinian flag on an election pamphlet.

“Craig Sauvé included a Maple Leaf on the leaflet in question, and frequently poses with the Canadian flag and Quebec flags — both of which he deeply loves and respects,” a statement from the party says.

“It’s ludicrous to suggest that when a politician is seen with another flag it’s un-Canadian, whether that’s the Ukrainian flag, Israeli flag, Palestinian flag or other nations.”

Manhunt for Kentucky shooting suspect cancels classes as authorities urge people to be on high alert

As a manhunt stretched into a third day Monday for a suspect in a shooting on a Kentucky interstate that wounded five people and struck 12 vehicles, authorities vowed to keep up a relentless search as the stress level remained high for a rural area where some schools canceled classes.

Authorities have been searching a rugged, hilly area of southeastern Kentucky since Saturday evening, when a shooter began firing at drivers on Interstate 75 near London, a small city of about 8,000 people located about 75 miles south of Lexington.

With suspect Joseph A. Couch, 32, still at large, numerous area school districts canceled classes for Monday. State police Master Trooper Scottie Pennington, a spokesman for the London state police post, urged area residents to lock doors, keep porch lights on and monitor security cameras. The search was focused on a remote area about 8 miles north of London.

‘He’s not getting the message’: Justin Trudeau shrugs off the naysayers as he heads into a Liberal caucus retreat

OTTAWA — The summer ride is over. So too is the Justin Trudeau listening tour.

The prime minister spent much of two months meeting in small groups or individually with nervous Liberal MPs, many angry after the June loss of a supposedly safe Toronto seat to the Conservatives.

Trudeau also spent two months running, paddling, boxing and bounding from one summer festival to another, taking thousands of selfies with Canadians who appeared not to have read polls about how disliked he is.

The week that sent trans fanatics into retreat

Aftershocks can occur days or even weeks after an earthquake. So it is, it seems, with the Cass Review.

Five months on from the “Big Bang” moment in April when Dr Hilary Cass’s findings reset the terms of the trans rights debate, some of the most significant reverberations were felt this week.

Cass’s report warned of a “toxic” debate in which parents felt forced to allow their children to change gender, fearing they would otherwise be labelled transphobic. At the time, the findings by Cass, a leading paediatrician, were roundly criticised by trans activists. But now the narrative is changing.

Hopefully Canada catches up one day.

Thwarted terrorist plot shows Canadian intelligence isn’t up to the task

It makes for grim reading, the criminal complaint filed by a federal prosecutor in New York City, ripe with details about a thwarted plot by a devotee of the Islamic State group to massacre Jews after slipping across the border from Canada.

Alarming content in the wake of another recent arrest — an accused Egyptian-born father and son terrorist combo — allegedly conspiring to slaughter civilians in Toronto, in the service of Islamic State. A father who somehow managed to slither through security screening, claiming asylum, granted a visa, then permanent residency status, then Canadian citizenship (in May) before a gruesome video surfaced of the now 62-year-old Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi allegedly dismembering a prisoner with a sword.

Pay your way or pack your bags — King looks to solve ‘Prince Andrew problem’

The King is keen to find a way to “solve” the issue of the Duke of York’s living situation as a new television drama serves up a reminder of Prince Andrew’s fall from grace.

Charles, 75, is still hoping for a swift resolution to what those close to the King have called “the Andrew problem” by moving his brother from Royal Lodge in Windsor to more suitable accommodation.

Liberals are facing a palpable appetite for change, but their path forward is unclear

NANAIMO, B.C. — These should be consequential meetings. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals face the greatest challenge they have ever faced — the possibility of a fourth-place finish after the next election. Aside from the leadership question hanging over all Grit MPs’ heads — should the prime minister stay or should he go — there are other challenges to address.

Trump and Harris Neck and Neck After Summer Upheaval, Times/Siena Poll Finds

Former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris enter the homestretch of the campaign in a tight race, and with their only scheduled debate looming on Tuesday, Ms. Harris faces a sizable share of voters who still say they need to know more about her.

A national poll of likely voters by The New York Times and Siena College found Mr. Trump leading Ms. Harris, 48 percent to 47 percent, within the poll’s three-percentage-point margin of error and largely unchanged from a Times/Siena poll taken in late July just after President Biden dropped his re-election bid. Mr. Trump may have had a rough month following the president’s departure and amid the burst of excitement that Ms. Harris brought Democrats, but the poll suggests his support remains remarkably resilient.

Link fixed.

Nearly two-thirds of Canadians support tariff on Chinese-made EVs, poll finds

Nearly two-thirds of Canadians show some level of support for Ottawa’s plan to add a 100-per-cent tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles, a new poll has found.

The survey by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail found 43 per cent of Canadians say they support the tariff, while 20 per cent say they somewhat support the measure.

Ten per cent of respondents polled said they oppose the tariff and 17 per cent said they somewhat oppose it.

Europe has finally realised the enormous costs of mass migration

Has Keir Starmer’s Britain become the softest touch in the West for illegal migrants? In a week when another 12 people drowned in the Channel and ministers squirmed under scrutiny about their still leaderless Border Command, attention turned to the Continent. “Rwanda’s back – but it’s Germany planning to use it,” screamed a tabloid headline on Friday. Tory leadership candidates fell over one another to claim German endorsement for their now defunct scheme.

Joachim Stamp, Berlin’s migration commissioner, had indeed floated the idea of processing asylum seekers in Rwanda, using facilities now sitting idle since Labour abandoned the policy as their first act in office. The irony of this turn of events will not be lost on British taxpayers, who paid hundreds of millions of pounds for these facilities in Kigali. And if the Germans are so eager to go ahead, where does that leave all the legal objections and moral outrage of our own liberal establishment?

Trudeau insists he’s staying on as Liberal leader. But what if he changes his mind?

The Liberal caucus is set to meet in Nanaimo, B.C., next week for a retreat ahead of the fall parliamentary sitting. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists he will lead his party into the next election despite polls citing his unpopularity among Canadians. Here’s a look at what would happen if he decided to call it quits.

Could Prime Minister Justin Trudeau step down? Absolutely. But a decision to step down becomes a lot harder now that the New Democrats have pulled out of a supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals, which has helped keep the minority government in power.
