“ISIS militants, using machetes and rifles, slaughtered more than 80 Christians….ISIS emphasized the religious identity of its victims in a post, saying that “Caliphate soldiers” killed “Christians.” According to one report, many of the slain were “very young” and were targeted for “refusing to convert into Islam”…. some bodies were found “tied up” and “decapitated.” – premierchristian.news, June 18, 2024, Democratic Republic of Congo.”
Canada has lost its way in the world. Its international influence and respect is in serious decline, as a result of a combination of poor political leadership and inept actions, especially during the nine years of Justin Trudeau’s government.
It is a challenge for any government to avoid foreign-policy missteps. Given the volatility in global affairs with unexpected crises beyond a country’s control, it is impossible to always get things right, as governments react and adjust to sudden events. But Canada’s errors in recent years go far beyond this, showing astonishing ineptitude – own-goals that will have long-term consequences, and are of the Liberal government’s own making.

A resident of Uzbekistan’s southeastern Surkhondaryo region, he blames his health condition on being born in a consanguineous marriage.
“My father married his cousin, the daughter of his father’s sister,” he said. “It was arranged by my grandfather. My elder sister, Oibahor, and I were born with birth defects because our parents were blood relatives.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced two federal byelections to be held on Sept. 16, according to a government release Sunday morning.
The byelections will be held in the ridings of Elmwood-Transcona in Winnipeg and LaSalle—Émard—Verdun in Montreal.
And if he wins either or both the media will trumpet the victory as an across the board nation wide endorsement of Trudeau.
Border agents detained three Palestinian migrants who illegally crossed the southern border after they were found to have possible ties to terrorist organizations earlier this month, according to sources.
One of the migrants had “salacious photos” on their phone — including a picture of a masked man holding an AK-47 rifle, federal law enforcement sources said.
In addition to the three Palestinians, federal authorities caught one migrant from Turkey who was also suspected of having ties to terror groups.

A group of First Nations families has reactivated a court challenge against Ottawa over ongoing gender discrimination in the Indian Act because a bill created to address the issue is stalled in Parliament.
Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu introduced Bill C-38, An Act to amend the Indian Act (new registration entitlements) in December 2022.
The move was made in response to a constitutional challenge filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. But eighteen months later, the bill is stuck at second reading and hasn’t been sent to committee for study, despite support from all opposition parties.

The Atlantic has published an article claiming that former President Donald Trump promised Christian supporters that he will end elections if he takes office in 2025.
Convenience stores are cornerstones of our communities, operated by responsible retailers who are not just business owners, but neighbours and friends.
These local businesses hold a special place in our hearts and memories, whether it’s grabbing an icy drink on a hot summer day, buying packs of trading cards, grabbing goodies or filling up before a weekend trip to the cottage or campsite.

Two activists from the protest group Just Stop Oil have been found guilty of criminal damage after throwing tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh‘s Sunflowers.
On October 14 of2022, Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland threw soup at the painting, housed at the at the National Gallery of Art in London, before super-glueing their hands to the nearby wall.
Companies that don’t tow the government line on climate change will soon have to, now that Bill C-59 is law. The bill, which received royal assent in June, amended Canada’s Competition Act to prohibit the private sector from “greenwashing” — a move that cracks down on corporate communications to an intrusive degree.
July 26 – More than 160,000 people joined a Zoom call on Thursday night to build support for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris among white women, a voter demographic that has supported Republican nominee Donald Trump in the past two elections.
Organized by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun-safety group with about 10 million members, the video call included activists, podcasters, the singer Pink and regular voters, several who said they regretted not doing enough before the 2016 election that put Trump in the White House.
I thought this was a joke at first but it’s not: Kamala Harris’ campaign is segregating its volunteers by race. These are the people who spent decades smearing their opponents as racists. Why do people tolerate this degrading treatment? pic.twitter.com/sysXmnIz8l

If congestion is chasing people out of Toronto, there’s only one thing left to do
“… Last year, as part of Mayor Olivia Chow’s transition team, I was in the room with city and private sector experts working on managing congestion. City staff are capable of developing smart solutions and, in Chow, have a leader who is not afraid to be bold and push good ideas forward.
However, we can’t deal with traffic congestion without being honest about the fundamental issue: The days of being able to drive wherever you want, whenever you want, are over. It’s about math, economics, and geometry — not politics.”
Toronto is an overcrowded expensive city with a rapidly declining quality of life that simply isn’t worth the cost.
Public transit is a homeless shelter and the situation will not get better, especially under Chairman Chow.
The exodus, (White flight?), has begun and affordability is only one of the reasons why.
The negligent mass import of incompatible cultures is turning Toronto into a 3rd world municipal wreck.
Foreign ethnic conflicts dominate our streets and the rule of law is undermined by the identity politics of our politicians.
I have lived here since 1964 and see no hope for the future.

When Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Representative, turned up at a congressional oversight hearing with the head of the Secret Service a week after Donald Trump was targeted by a sniper at a rally, she expected some answers.
What she got, she tells me when we meet in Manhattan, was obfuscation. Her resulting encounter with Kimberly Cheatle, then director of the Secret Service, so frustrated her that footage of it immediately went viral.
Republicans,
Take out your number 2 pencils and take notes.
Nancy Mace just showed every single one of you so far how to do your job.
