Chris Selley: The NDP ends a defective deal, but its defective leader remains

So, the deal is off. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh apparently located a few scraps of dignity in some long-forgotten kitchen drawer or closet. Just minutes before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was set for a press conference to give himself yet more credit for the NDP’s national school-lunch program, Singh announced he was calling off the NDP’s two-and-a-half-year-old confidence-and-supply agreement with the governing Liberals.

Trudeau’s Liberals face another big test in Montreal byelection

The federal Liberal brand will be put to the test again in a byelection in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun on Sept. 16 — a contest Liberal Party brass hope won’t deliver a repeat of the party’s failure in a Toronto riding earlier this summer.

The Liberals’ byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s — a riding the party had held for more than 30 years — prompted a lot of soul-searching and griping among Liberal MPs who interpreted the result as a rebuke of their leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

If the LPC loses will Justin finally take the hint? Too vain I suspect.

PolitiFact Hypocritically Labels Trump ‘Pants on Fire’ For Calling Harris a Communist

In 2020, PolitiFact gave Georgia Sen. David Perdue a “pants on fire” rating for claiming that rival Jon Ossoff was a socialist. Now, PolitiFact is at it again, giving Donald Trump a similar “pants on fire” on Wednesday for rating for labeling Kamala Harris a communist.

In the “if your time is short,” section, Amy Sherman summarizes, “Marxism refers to the school of thought inspired by Karl Marx’s analysis of capitalism. Communism is a political system of government or a party that abolishes private property.”

Will Liberals quit on Trudeau?

The real mystery isn’t whether or not the prime minister will stay, it’s whether or not his base will leave.

When it comes to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, many journalists and pundits are asking the wrong question.

They’re asking, “will Trudeau quit the Liberals?” when the more pertinent question is: “will the Liberals quit Trudeau?”

Why is that the more pertinent question? Well, first off, all the signs suggest Trudeau isn’t about to pack it in anytime soon.

MANDEL: Swarming girl who pleaded to manslaughter still doesn’t get it

She is still frighteningly clueless.

Even now, even after watching and rewatching the horrific video of her part in the senseless swarming attack on Kenneth Lee, where she’s enthusiastically hitting, punching and stomping on the vulnerable man — practically doing everything but actually delivering the fatal knife wound — the pig-tailed teen still has no remorse.

Monsters walk among us.

Jagmeet Singh says challenge ahead is convincing people NDP can win

OTTAWA — Jagmeet Singh brought a message of hope Thursday in his first speech following the NDP’s exit from its supply and confidence deal with the minority Liberals, who portrayed his move as a bow to Conservative wishes.

New Democrats are attempting to paint themselves as a legitimate alternative to the Liberals and Conservatives ahead of the next election, but Singh acknowledged one his party’s biggest challenges will be persuading Canadians it can actually form government.

“Like many of you, all my life I have been told, it can’t be done. Cynics will say: Canada has never had an NDP government, it’s not going to happen,” Singh said in a campaign-style address.

Top Manhattan US Attorney’s Office spox blasts DA Bragg over Trump prosecution in secret recording: ‘The case is nonsense’

A top Department of Justice spokesman in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his recent prosecution of former President Donald Trump — accusing Bragg of conducting “lawfare” just to further his own political ambitions.

Nicholas Biase, chief spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office, was secretly recorded tearing into the progressive prosecutor during a recent conversation with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”

Liberals Whistle Past Graveyard

‘This is a significant change’: How Liberals are reacting to the resignation of their party’s campaign director

OTTAWA—Trailing in the polls and suddenly facing the prospect of an early federal election, many Liberals say there is a welcome chance for renewal now that the governing party’s national campaign director is leaving his post.

Jeremy Broadhurst, a veteran strategist who was set to quarterback the Liberals’ election campaign after serving as a top adviser in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, announced Thursday that he is stepping down from his party role on Sept. 30.

Does Trump’s Performance in Polls Suggest He Will Fare Better in November Than in 2020 — or Even 2016?

As I try to understand public opinion in yet another presidential election year with President Trump as the Republican nominee, I see an anomaly.

On one hand, the polls look very much like the 2020 and 2016 election results. Trump trails Vice President Harris by 1.9 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, for instance.

I don’t have the impression people want to vote for Harris, especially not just because she’s a brown skinned woman.

It is obvious that the Deep State machine that put a senile Biden in the White House is busy gluing a Potemkin Kamala together.
