Do you care about your country? You now are “far right”

What is the agenda that Western voters have rejected? Put the climate before industrial production and stem the demographic collapse with non-European immigration.

There is a simpler explanation for the downfall of Western governments: they all agreed on an agenda that the majority ended up rejecting. In the words of the eminent Pierre Manent, great scholar of Machiavelli and Tocqueville, “we have been forbidden to love our history and we have been ordered to accept everything that accuses us, because the new political religion decrees to dissolve us in humanity”.

Emmanuel Macron’s centrist bubble party obtained only a fifth of the national vote following the disastrous European elections on 9 June. Marine Le Pen stood alone at 34 percent, the left-wing coalition at 28.

The History of Democrats Hiding Presidential Disabilities

So much for the “public’s right to know.”

According to journalist Carl Bernstein, several people “very close” to President Biden have related that the president has had 15-to-20 episodes of cognitive decline — similar to what happened during the presidential debate the other evening — during the past year and a half. Bernstein told CNN that these Biden supporters said, “There have been numerous instances where the president has lost his train of thought, can’t pick it up again.” The New York Post editorialized that Democrats and their “media enablers” have attempted to hide Biden’s cognitive decline. The Daily Mail reports that “current and former aides” to the president are saying that Biden’s cognitive decline has been known for months. National Review calls the “cover-up of Biden’s mental decline” a scandal. And recall that the special counsel’s report about the mishandling of classified documents by the president described Biden’s memory as “hazy,” “fuzzy,” “faulty,” and “poor.” Axios reports that top aides to the president have “carefully shielded him from people inside and outside the White House since the beginning of his presidency,” noting that first Lady Jill Biden was especially “protective” of the president. Fox News reports that there is growing anger among some Democrats at Jill Biden and White House staffers who they claim have “concealed” the president’s mental decline.

U of T encampment ends not with a bang, or a whimper, but a shrug

There was something for every group to latch onto in Ontario Superior Court Justice Markus Koehnen’s decision granting an injunction to clear out the pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Toronto. For the university, as well as for Jewish groups, Jewish students, and members of the wider U of T community, there was the obvious: students and their allies had to pack up their tents and move out by 6 p.m. Wednesday. The decision was unsurprising. King’s College Circle, where the activists had set up camp for the past two months, is U of T property.

Poilievre would repeal online harms bill after PBO report finds $200 million in new bureaucracy

OTTAWA — Conservatives are promising to scrap the proposed federal online harms bill after the latest report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer found that it would create more than $200 million in new bureaucracy.

Bill C-63 would establish three new entities: the Digital Safety Commission, which is mandated to enforce the act and has the power to issue monetary penalties and fines, and the Digital Safety Ombudsperson, which will support social media users. Both will be supported by the Digital Safety Office, which manages the day-to-day operations.

Rodent problem in Ottawa is so bad that one city councillor is proposing using rat birth control

The city of Ottawa is considering using contraceptives to bring down a rat population that has been growing out of control for several years now.

Last month, CTV News reported that Laine Johnson, Deputy Mayor and a councillor in the city’s College Ward, was going to bring forward a motion to council to ask Health Canada to approve a rat birth control product that has been used in several U.S. cities.

Western University says protesters’ camp must go by the end of the weekend

Western University has given pro-Palestinian protesters the weekend to voluntarily clear out their encampment, saying if they do so the school “will not pursue disciplinary action against students or employees” who took part.

However, an online post from university president Alan Shepard also warned that “if a student or an employee engaged in violence, property damage, building barricades, unauthorized entry into buildings, harassment or discrimination, they will be held accountable.”

US cities can now punish homelessness. Will it help or hurt a crisis?

“I still have 20 more minutes before I have to move,” Anthony yelled from his green tent on a Hollywood sidewalk as he heard footsteps approaching.

Officials in Los Angeles had come by earlier to warn him that he could face arrest if he didn’t move his belongings.

They told him about the recent Supreme Court opinion that opened the door for cities and states across the US to punish anyone sleeping outdoors — the most significant ruling on homelessness since at least the 1980s, when many experts say the modern US homeless crisis began.

Living in Toronto has become such a grind people are leaving in droves. Can you blame them?

I was at a gathering recently for my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. The party also served as a farewell: my cousin and his family were moving the next day from the GTA to Alberta.

They told us of the job opportunities, and of the six-bedroom house with ample parking and yard space they were able to afford on their southern Ontario budget.

You get used to such news, after a while.

British Election: No one anticipated how many pro-Gaza independents would be elected to Parliament

The successful Muslim vote campaign is a snapshot of things to come.

Much of the focus on the 2024 general election will be on Labour’s landslide, the impressive Liberal Democrat performance, and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage finally entering the House of Commons. But the victories for a string of pro-Gaza independents should not be ignored.

While Left-wing maverick and leader of the Workers Party of Britain George Galloway failed to win in Rochdale, pro-Gaza independents elected include former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in Islington North, Ayoub Khan in Birmingham Perry Barr, Adnan Hussain in Blackburn, Iqbal Mohamed in Dewsbury and Batley, and Shockat Adam in Leicester South (where Labour heavyweight Jonathan Ashworth was defeated). Pro-Gaza independent Leanne Mohamad nearly pulled off an astonishing win in Ilford North, where Wes Streeting now has a majority of just 528 votes.

After nine years in office, is it time for Justin Trudeau to go?

A Canadian prime minister who has outstayed his welcome, persistent inflation, a government bumped and bruised by scandal and a fired-up opposition leader itching for a public showdown.

It was against this backdrop, four decades ago, that Pierre Trudeau took his apocryphal “walk in the snow” and decided not to contest the next federal election.

After a shocking upset in a “safe” electoral district and with a looming possibility of a blowout in the next federal election, Justin Trudeau’s predicament closely mirrors that of his father.

Biden says he’s ‘first black woman to serve with a black president’ in latest gaffe

President Biden described himself as the “first black woman to serve with a black president” as he yet again twisted his words, his latest gaffe as he scrambles to reassure voters he’s still fit to lead.

The 81-year-old president made the slip up as he struggled to find the right phrasing while being interviewed Thursday on Philadelphia’s WURD black radio station as part of an Independence Day media blitz a week on from his train-wreck debate performance.
