Kamala Harris worried Democrats will upset Blacks by choosing a White candidate instead of selecting her to replace Joe Biden

Kamala Harris’s team is concerned that Democrats will install a white candidate ahead of her to replace Joe Biden, arguing that it would be “offensive” to black voters to overlook her should the president stand aside.

Mr Biden is facing calls to step back from the race over concerns about his age, after a disastrous television debate performance against Donald Trump on Thursday.

The Biden campaign, which is a joint ticket between the US president and Ms Harris, has dismissed calls for him to step aside for a younger candidate.

GIESBRECHT: Okay to fly the flag after all, CBC decides… no apology, though!

CBC is telling Canadians to joyfully celebrate Canada Day 2024 

This stands in stark contrast to how they were telling Canadians to celebrate — or rather, how not to celebrate — Canada Day 2021. Canadians were told in 2021 that they must be ashamed of their past, and our “dark history” as evidenced by the “remains” of 215 children who had been “discovered” at Kamloops.

Who covers the gas tax when the electric revolution hits?

Canadians have been standing at filling stations for decades, so they’re probably not thinking too much about the taxes they pay on their gas or where that money goes, but that may change as more electric vehicles are sold.

Alberta this past spring slipped EV owners a bill for $200 — due every year on top of the standard registration fees — to account for the wear and tear on roads their cars cause. In doing so, it joined Saskatchewan and a number of jurisdictions in the United States that have imposed additional fees on EV drivers to compensate for the fact that they’re not paying taxes on gasoline.

‘Fix your system’: Winnipeg rally calls for more international workers to remain in Manitoba

Hundreds rallied in northwest Winnipeg to call on the federal and provincial governments to allow more international workers to remain in Manitoba.

Protesters gathered at the city’s Adsum Park in The Maples on Sunday afternoon to demand that more people get their expiring work permits extended, among other things.

The federal government announced late last year it would stop offering an 18-month extension to post-graduate work permits, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Students can’t find jobs? Gee how did that happen?

Especially difficult summer ahead for young people looking for jobs, economist says

Isabelle Burzese started looking for a summer job in February. Now, after finishing her first year of studies at Concordia University in Montreal, she’s back home with her family and she’s still looking. With expenses piling up, her search is becoming more and more urgent.

“I’m not looking to get a job for spending money or money to have fun, even though I would love to,” the 18-year-old from Toronto says. “It’s really for tuition and rent and groceries and things like that for next year.”


Do not believe a word that the business community or the government says about the need for mass immigration to offset labour shortages. They are evil liars.

New faces, old fears

The front-page headline demanded action: “Time to Close the Gates.” It was March 26, 1908. Centred on the page, a list of three recently murdered men and their four “supposed slayers” – their non-Anglo-Saxon, ethnic names unmissable in all-caps. “The Goth is at our own gates,” The Globe editorial warned.

“One has only to glance at this list to see that the Slav and the Italian are swelling the statistics of crime in this country.” The only effective cure for the “invasion” would be “the closing of the gates on the offscourings of the Slav and Latin races.”


This Globe piece is one of a small flurry of articles that have recently appeared expressing concern about Canadian attitudes toward immigration and or identity politics.

It’s not surprising that the paper of record for Canada’s Corporate cronies will have published 3 such pieces in that last week.

The elite have have sold Canadians a “patriotic myth” that immigration is always beneficial and that to oppose it is racist.

Someone is getting worried about their supply of cheap foreign labour hence the push to remind Canadians to know their place in the run-up to Canada Day.

Globe – Canadians don’t need to worry about identity politics

Globe – In a country where immigrants are the majority, anti-immigration politics are obsolete

Trudeau ruins Canada Day for everyone says he is ‘committed’ to inflicting his odious self on nation as PM after byelection loss

Trudeau says he is ‘committed’ to staying as PM after byelection loss

Justin Trudeau says Monday he is “committed” to staying on as prime minister after the Liberals’ shocking Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection loss exactly one week ago.

“There’s always going to be lots of reflection after a tough loss, but there’s also so much to do,” Trudeau told CBC’s Heather Hiscox, answering questions about his future for the first time since the upset.

Before last week’s vote, a Conservative candidate hadn’t been competitive in the federal riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s since the 1980s. The party hadn’t won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election.

It’s Not Far-Right, It’s Counter-Culture

As mainstream progressive culture goes ever further left, more and more people in the centre or right are being labelled ‘far-right.’ This progressive culture has been taught for decades, in that if boundaries aren’t constantly being torn down, progress isn’t being made. Most attitudes in the centre/right haven’t changed, but the left demands they do, since they control the majority of the media that considers itself ‘respectable.’

What Rhymes with FBI?

Mark Twain has been credited with the quip that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” When it comes to corruption and the FBI, he may have been right.

In the late teens to early twenties, evidence began to trickle out in the media suggesting that an individual within the Executive Branch of the United States Government had profited significantly from his official position. Over the course of several years, it became clear that money had flowed from an energy company looking to secure favorable business deals to a self-dealing Executive Branch official. Millions changed hands and the Bureau was called in to investigate.

The Great China Shell Game: The U.S. Must Stop Playing Sanctions Whack-A-Mole with the CCP

The larger Chinese banks, in response to stern U.S. warnings, have this year been exiting transactions involving Russia.

Are America’s sanctions efforts finally working?

No. Beijing is merely shifting transactions to smaller banks and non-banking channels. China, to help Russia’s war effort in Ukraine, is employing a decades-old stratagem: the shell game.

At best, America’s sanctions are crimping the fast-growing China-Russia trade, not ending it.

Jeffrey Epstein Transcripts Released

Some of Epstein’s pals

Florida prosecutors knew Epstein raped teenage girls 2 years before cutting deal, transcript shows

Florida prosecutors heard graphic testimony about how the late millionaire and financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted teenage girls two years before they cut a plea deal, according to transcripts released Monday of the 2006 grand jury investigation.

The transcripts were at the center of a court battle for about a decade after media investigations into Epstein’s ties to the rich and the powerful seems to have allowed him to continue to rape and sex traffic teenagers without ever being sent to prison or serving a serious jail term.

Jamie Sarkonak: Discrimination achieves ‘equity’ at the federal health research agency

“Equalization” as we generally know it is an interprovincial funding formula that takes from net producers (like Alberta) and gives to net spenders (like Quebec). It breeds resentment from some, but it’s part of our constitutional architecture, so we’re stuck with it, just as families are obligated to provide for their young, net-consuming children. We also call this “equity.”

Two Joe Bidens: The night America saw the other one

The past 36 hours showcased two Joe Bidens: the veteran president rallying voters in a swing state, and an 81-year-old man struggling to string thoughts together in a debate.

Interesting reveal of Biden’s battle with dementia. No idea how anyone could possibly consider him fit for duty
