By now, Justin Trudeau’s unpopularity is not a bug in Canadian politics, but a feature.
It is the starting point for every conversation revolving around the Liberals’ future prospects against the Conservatives in the next election. It figures large when trying to guess the lifespan of the Liberal-NDP deal — how long will Jagmeet Singh and his New Democrats want to remain allied with an unpopular PM?

Although the Liberal government has placed an annual price tag of $60-billion on its commitment to spend two per cent of Canada’s GDP on defence by 2032, unless a boost is on the way, it will still likely fall short when the goalposts funds needed to reach the NATO-sanctioned metric shift.
Canada is unlikely to meet the spending standard first agreed to in 2014 based on its own projections as it is relying on international forecasts for its GDP to guide its defence-spending commitment.
Tommy Robinson has been arrested under anti-terror laws, according to his social media account.
It comes after a film was allegedly screened in contempt of court during a protest in London.
A post on X said: “We can confirm that Tommy Robinson has been detained by police using powers afforded to them under the Terrorism Act 2000.
I watched this yesterday. It is the “banned doc” that purports to show TR’s trial for libel was a “stitch up”.
I am not a lawyer, neither is Tommy but he should have had one consulting on this doc as well as an editor. I found it confusing.
Share this film EVERYWHERE.#FreeTommy

The technology behind the production of EVs, which I regard as EVil, is in my estimation at least 10 years away from perfectibility. Meanwhile, EVs comprise a technical hazard, a convenience disaster, an energy cannibal, a financial liability, and a moral ignominy.
As the Western Standard reports, in Canada, “Big money — something like $52 billion in tax-payer dollars have been allocated to over 13 projects in the form of investment tax credits, production subsidies, and other supporting mechanisms, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer.” Enacting an authoritarian policy, the federal government is pilfering tax revenues to fund the production and sale of EVs, subsidizing companies that have no accountability and buyers who have no practical sense.
Sources within Hezbollah told a German news agency on Sunday that the organization has been on high alert for several months, stating, “We are constantly on alert, and the organization is now expecting a severe attack.”
Ali Fayad, a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese parliament, stated that the organization is preparing for all possibilities, including the possibility of ground conflict. In a speech in the city of Markaba in southern Lebanon, Fayad stated, “The Lebanese resistance has the full right to defend itself, which allows it to use all the tools and capabilities at its disposal to protect itself, its community, its nation, and its homeland.”
Netanyahu says Hezbollah will pay 'heavy price' after deadly Golan Heights strike.
Lebanon was playing with fire shooting thousands of missiles at Israel. It's only a matter of time before they get invaded, justly so.

Canadians know they pay too much tax because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wastes too much money.
The majority of Canadians say the government spends too much money, takes too much money from our pay cheques and wastes money on the wrong priorities. That’s according to a new Ipsos poll commissioned by the Montreal Economic Institute.
The organisers of the Paris Olympics have apologised after a drag queen parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper featured in the opening ceremony.
The scene, which recreated the biblical scene of Christ and his apostles, included drag artists and a naked singer. It was heavily criticised by politicians and members of the Catholic Church.
NEW: Barbara Butch, the obese woman who depicted Jesus in the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, says her aim is to “unite people” and to “share love.”
She should look up the definition of unite.
The self-described “fat, Jewish, queer lesbian” says she wants to share “love… pic.twitter.com/vGjpZrDoS0

On Sept 5-6, 1972, over the course of 20 hours during the Munich Olympic Games, 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were tortured and murdered by the terrorist group, Black September, an affiliate of the Palestine Liberation Organization. For 49 years, this darkest of episodes received no official Olympic commemoration. The victims were eventually honoured for the first time at the opening ceremonies of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
AfD’s legal representative says left-wing media dreamed up the Potsdam plot.
Claims by a German state-funded, left-wing media outlet about a conspiracy to conduct the mass deportation of migrants have been shattered in court. A ruling by a court in Hamburg prohibits public broadcasters from repeating the allegation that the expulsion of German citizens of foreign origin was discussed by participants at a meeting in Potsdam last November.
Germany funds something on the order of 27 “news sites.”
Canada’s Trade Minister Mary Ng has dismissed U.S. protests over Canada’s record on protecting copyright owners as merely a “political tool,” according to a staff briefing note.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the United States recently placed Canada on its 2024 “watch list” due to concerns over copyright theft.
Facing mounting criticism for failing to meet the NATO defence-spending target of 2 per cent of the GDP, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has announced the planned acquisition of up to 12 under-ice capable submarines to patrol the Northwest Passage and the broader Arctic region.
Wait, sorry – what’s that feeling I’m having? It must be déjà vu.
The unexpected spotlight on the Manhattan case had the effect of discrediting the entire enterprise in the public mind.
With President Joe Biden having withdrawn from the 2024 presidential campaign, the collapse of the Democrats’ lawfare crusade against the Republican nominee, former president Donald Trump, takes on added significance. Lawfare was not just the plan for making Trump conclusively unelectable; it was the plan for keeping Biden out of the public eye — for maintaining the spotlight on Trump because Democrats have known Biden was declining mentally and physically.
The two greatest demographic bulwarks of the modern Democrat Party are urban blacks and suburban college-educated women. The first is a true mystery, given the degradation of our cities under 70 years of straight Democrat control. The second, though, is a less explored, greater mystery for at least one large subgroup: Those suburban college-educated women with children.
