How Project 2025 could upend Canada-U.S. relationship under Trump

Concerns are growing about how a far-right policy agenda known as Project 2025 could influence a second Donald Trump presidency — as well as Canada’s relationship with the United States.

Democrats have been attempting to tie Trump to the controversial initiative and convince voters its extreme conservative policies would be representative of how Trump will govern if he wins the U.S. election in November.

At the heart of Project 2025 is a plan to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy to make the civil service much more aligned with the political interests of the White House. That would have major implications on the day-to-day business of managing Canada-U.S. relations in important areas like trade, analysts say.

No. 1 – Trump is on record stating Project 2025 is not on his radar making this one more example of MSM TDS.

No. 2 – Making the civil service much more aligned to his political interests is exactly what Justin Trudeau has done in Canada.

With more people living in Hamilton parks, council looks at new options for encampments

At the edge of a east-end Hamilton park, Lisa Bartlett carefully wipes dirt off her belongings after heavy rainfall partially collapsed and flooded her tent.

Living in an encampment is hard, said Bartlett, 50.

It’s often uncomfortable and unsafe, she added.

She wears a whistle she around her neck and carries a can of hairspray to ward off anyone who seems dangerous.

Conspiracy theorists claim Trump’s attempted assassination was ‘staged’ using FAKE BLOOD

It took just minutes for anti-Donald Trump conspiracy theorists to claim the shooting was ‘staged’ to boost his electoral prospects.

The first posts appeared on X as agents were whisking Trump from the scene of his Pennsylvania rally blood running down the right side of his face.

In the hours after Saturday’s night shooting, ‘staged’ was the fourth ranked search term on Google, followed by Trump, Secret Service, and Antifa – before law enforcement had even confirmed the identity of the gunman.

Donald Trump and America’s dark history of presidential assassinations

The image of Donald Trump with his fist in the air and blood on his cheek will be an enduring one.

Whatever happens next, it is likely to consolidate this man’s extraordinary power over the course of modern US politics. Some are responding by saying the attack was “un-American”, but in reality the history of the United States is one of deep, roiling political conflict that has frequently turned violent.

Poll: Liberals continue to lose young voters thanks to housing crisis they created with harmful mass immigration scheme

“… The latest Nanos federal ballot tracking has the Conservatives now at 41.0 per cent, 15 points ahead of the Liberals at 25.7 per cent. The NDP, meanwhile, are sitting at 17.3 per cent, the Bloc at 8.9 per cent, the Green Party at 4.2 per cent and the Peoples Party at 2.6 per cent.

Nanos says it’s young people, who he called a swing-voting block, appear to be deserting the Liberal government.

“In 2015, Justin Trudeau built his majority around many enthusiastic and positively minded young people who were progressive,” he said. “Fast forward now, and those same young people have deserted the Liberals and are looking at the Conservatives probably because of the anxiety and frustration they are having with the rising cost of living and housing.”

Blame the secret service for Trump’s near-death

The attempted assassination of former president Trump – which came within centimetres of succeeding – reveals the incompetence of the secret service in preventing even the most amateurish of efforts to kill a presidential candidate.

Despite the heroism of agents near Trump when he was wounded, no armed shooter should have been allowed anywhere near any building with a line of sight to the speaker. Yet this 20 year-old with a large rifle was able to get off multiple shots. Any protective service should know that all buildings in rifle range and line of sight must be cleared before a protectee is allowed on the platform.

Justin Trudeau is reckoning with the decision of his political life. Here’s why few know what he will do

This is a moment of reckoning for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The question of whether to stay or go, or to deliver some other kind of dramatic change the Liberal caucus is clamouring for, is one of the most sensitive and solitary exercises a prime minister can undertake.

Sometimes the moment arrives when bitter internal rivalries push a leader out, as happened to Jean Chrétien. Sometimes it comes on the night of a general election defeat, as it did for Paul Martin and Stephen Harper.

Canadian Real Estate Weakens As People Flee Toronto & Vancouver

Canadian real estate didn’t get a boost from a recent rate cut. That’s good news, according to BMO’s latest research note. The bank broke down CREA’s June update on existing home sales, and believes this is what the Bank of Canada (BoC) would like to see. Cheaper credit didn’t suddenly spark exuberant demand, potentially clearing the way for more rate cuts. However, BMO warns the data is driven by just one major factor—people fleeing the country’s largest markets, Toronto and Vancouver. This same trend is also helping to boost prices in traditionally affordable regions, creating a split market driven by the same issue.

Don’t Worry if You Missed FBI Presser on Trump Assassination Attempt. You Didn’t Miss a Thing.

“The Secret Service is really the one to answer that question,” said a Pennsylvania police official to curious reporters after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. “[We] really have to defer to Secret Service for those questions,” an official told another reporter about the Pennsylvania attack. “Well, Secret Service always has the lead on securing something like this…” came another reference to the early evening shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. And on and on it went at a presser on Saturday night after Trump was shot. The bunch that might give us some answers skipped it to possibly stay out of legal trouble with investigators.

Can Canada Trim Its Reliance on Foreign Labor?

To boil down the economy of labor for his university students, Mikal Skuterud often poses them a basic question: Would they prefer to graduate when jobs are scarce or when workers are scarce?

They mostly vote for a time of worker scarcity. Workers can benefit in a vast job pool through employers’ competition to attract them — with better wages, for example — though this dynamic varies across industries, said Professor Skuterud, a labor economist at the University of Waterloo in Ontario who specializes in immigration.
“Labor economists tend to see labor shortages not as a first-order economic problem that governments need to solve,” he said.

Children as young as six made badges calling for intifada at charity workshop

Children as young as six were encouraged to make badges celebrating the intifada and praising Palestinian martyrs as part of a charity workshop.

The badges, featuring slogans such as “Long Live the Intifada” and “If I must die, let it bring hope, let it be a tale”, were part of a series of arts and craft activities staged by the charity Metroland Cultures. The event was held in London’s Kilburn on June 28 to raise money for Palestine and Sudan.

They have been criticised as “propaganda designed to sow hatred of Jews” by campaigners against anti-Semitism, who said it is inappropriate for children so young to be encouraged to imitate Palestinian slogans celebrating death and the armed struggle against Israel.

‘Things could have been different’: Frustration building amid Spadina Avenue TTC construction

A six-month project to upgrade the streetcar route along Spadina Avenue has only just started, but is already causing headaches for drivers, cyclists and businesses alike.

On June 23, the TTC switched out streetcars for buses on the busy downtown artery to perform critical track renewal work at Spadina Station. The project also includes upgrades to the overhead electrical system on sections of the right-of-way route, including between King Street and Queens Quay and between College Street and Spadina Station.
