JD Vance, the Ohio senator, was announced as Mr Trump’s running mate on Monday after the former president was shot in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania at the weekend.

Diane Francis: Lavish condo purchased for consul general in New York epitomizes Trudeau’s profligacy

Last week was a busy one for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Leaks undermining his finance minister surfaced, as did reports that he was courting former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. But the biggest splash was in the New York Post, which reported that Canada quietly spent US$6.63 million (C$9 million) to buy a lavish condo overlooking Central Park on Billionaires’ Row in Manhattan, which we later learned is meant to house our consul general, former broadcaster Tom Clark.

Hillbilly Veep

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin—It’s just before 4 p.m. and everyone at the Republican National Convention is jockeying for a glimpse of Senator J.D. Vance. A woman kicks off her bedazzled heels, then stands on her seat barefoot to get a better view. A delegate tells me he just borrowed a woman’s lipstick to scrawl “VANCE” in capital letters on a white Trump sign.

Everyone is craning their necks toward the Ohio delegation, where Vance is shaking hands, posing for selfies, and gleefully fist-bumping attendees who pull away with a bewildered look, as if they can’t believe they just crossed paths with the future vice president of the United States.

Blackie’s Star Takes The Vitriol Down A Notch: Trump Dangerous and Unfit

In Milwaukee, it’s clear what the attempted assassination of Donald Trump really changed

“… For those who think, correctly, that he is dangerous and unfit, the fact that someone tried to kill him isn’t likely to sway any votes. For his supporters, the attack may add to the myth, but they were already in the bag.”

Sir John A. Macdonald’s Legacy Desecrated With Fake Graves Lie

A national historic site reopens with a new look at John A. Macdonald’s legacy

“The hard truths are hard to avoid now at Bellevue House.

… In the aftermath of the confirmation, in 2021, of hundreds of unmarked graves discovered on the grounds of Canada’s residential schools, the city of Kingston was forced to reckon with how to present its once favourite son. “We needed to address the elephant in the room,” Hugh Ostrun, Superintendent of National Historic Sites in Eastern and Central Ontario, says. Concerned Parks Canada staff realized it was time to do more than just fix the roof and wiring. The pandemic gave them time to take stock.”

Our heritage is reduced to Marxist libels.

Elon Musk Prepares for Legal Battle Against EU After ‘Secret’ Censorship Deal

The European Commission and Twitter/X billionaire Elon Musk look like they are once again on a collision course this week, after the billionaire CEO took to the platform to condemn an “illegal secret deal”—where social media companies were allegedly pressured to censor political opinions online.

This is not the first time the tech mogul has gone to war with Brussels bigwigs. His online outburst came after the European Commission charged Twitter with empowering the spread of so-called misinformation under the terms of the Digital Services Act (DSA), which fines companies 6% of their annual income for non-compliance.

Psst … Muslims will literally throw you off a roof – “Discourse around Pride and Palestinian rights part of history of activism in the 2SLGBTQ+ community”

In the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 last year and Israel’s subsequent military assault in Gaza, Halifax Pride and other organizations in Canada have faced calls from parts of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to support Palestinian people.

Community educator Aaliyah Paris is one non-binary and queer person in Halifax who’s made that call.

She wants more transparency from Halifax Pride, and for it to divest from companies on the Canadian boycott, divest and sanction (BDS) list — a group of firms, organizations and people that pro-Palestinian groups say should be boycotted to put pressure on Israel.

Adam Zivo: B.C. dodges a bullet by rejecting ‘safe supply’ of all hard drugs

Vancouver Junkies – How could this not be considered a successful community integration?

Thank God the B.C. government has rejected the latest reckless proposals from safer-supply advocate Dr. Bonnie Henry.

In a new report released Thursday, Henry, the Provincial Health Officer, recommended that B.C. legalize drugs through a “non-medical” model of “safer supply” wherein substances like fentanyl, crystal meth and cocaine could be obtained without prescription. The province’s NDP government immediately dismissed the idea — which was praiseworthy, because Henry’s report was unscientific and irresponsible.
