ANALYSIS: How Number of MPs Not Running for Re-Election Compares to Previous Years

Like clockwork, in the months before each federal election is called, a number of MPs from each party will announce they are not running for re-election, each with his or her own particular reason. This time around, the numbers tell an interesting story.

The previous two elections saw 59 MPs in 2019 and 34 MPs in 2021 quitting or not seeking re-election by the time the writ was dropped. Of these, in 2019, 24 were from the governing Liberals, 21 were Conservatives, and 14 were NDP, and in 2021, 19 were Liberals, nine were Conservatives, and the other six were NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Independent.

BARBER: Making Canadians pay for Trudeau’s dystopia

In April, PM Justin Trudeau announced more funding for infrastructure to further his housing program. A program that is hoped will accomplish two things both not usually mentioned.

The first is to sway young voters to stick with the Liberal Party because they are fleeing. The second is to help urbanize as much of Canada as possible. The second goal is justified because of environmental concerns, but also includes vote buying. City dwellers require more government supported services such as public transportation and this often drives votes to the Liberal party. There is also money to get people to use public transit in the 2024 budget. Much of this is also a coverup of the disaster Trudeau’s immigration policy has wrought.

Hardened jihadists or guns for hire? The answer may lie in the hills of Tajikistan

Part of Saidakrami Rajabalizoda’s ear appeared to have been cut off and shoved in his mouth.

The gory scene was filmed by his captors, likely Russian security services, the day after the deadliest terrorist attack in Russia in decades.

The grocery code of conduct has suppliers settling for scraps

Canada has what seems like a rare win in the competition space. Stakeholders are celebrating the finalization of the Grocery Code of Conduct – a milestone more than three years in the making that was threatened this year when Loblaw and Walmart indicated they wouldn’t be signing.

Now, the grocery industry has slightly better processes to resolve disputes among suppliers and retailers regarding issues that include random fees, sudden cost increases, lack of clarity on contracts, and late payments. The code includes important elements such as no unilateral contract modification, no refusals to deal, and a board with representatives from across the supply chain.

Joe Biden left it late to step down — now Democrats face dilemma

Joe Biden has long had a reputation for taking an age to make decisions and agonising over problems until the very last minute. He really outdid himself this time.

All US presidential candidates, by definition, possess a giant ego. But Biden’s stubborn insistence that he was the only person capable of defeating Donald Trump deprived the Democratic Party of valuable time to introduce some new, younger faces to America.

He began this presidential journey by declaring that he wanted to act as a “bridge” to “an entire generation of leaders” while campaigning in March 2020 with Kamala Harris, who became his vice-president; Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan; and Cory Booker, a senator for New Jersey and former city mayor.

Rahim Mohamed: Joe Biden headed for retirement, Democrats for oblivion

While undoubtedly the right call to make, Joe Biden’s belated decision to step aside Sunday, and endorse Kamala Harris for president, comes too late to stop ascendant Republican nominee Donald Trump from winning a second presidential.

What’s more, the Democratic establishment will only have itself to blame when the party loses control of the White House, after trying and failing to pull a fast one over the incredulous American people.
