Poilievre is sharpening knives to take out Housefather and another safe Liberal seat

OTTAWA — First, the Conservatives took Toronto—St.Paul’s. Next, they’re gunning for Mount Royal in Montreal.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is said to be sharpening his knives to take on a Liberal fortress in Quebec’s largest city in the next general election. And after the party’s stunning byelection victory in a formerly safe Liberal seat on Monday, the Conservatives seem more confident than ever.


Hard for me to have sympathy for Housefather. He blocked me on X for pointing out Trudeau was going to admit 5K plus Hamas supporters from Gaza.

Nadine Spencer Ex-Police Services Board Member & Fantasist

City council passed an urgent motion from Coun. Shelley Carroll (Ward 17), without debate, on Thursday to rescind Spencer’s appointment to the board of the largest municipal police service in the country.

In a statement to CBC Thursday evening, Spencer said she was “deeply disappointed” by council’s decision, and called the move “reckless”.

Can Democrats Just Dump Biden And Move On? It’s Not That Simple

Will Democrats replace Joe Biden as their presidential nominee?

It’s not that simple, logistically or politically, as long he’s still alive. States have pretty strict rules on last-second ballot changes, but Democrats have always found ways to get courts to rewrite laws for them at the last second. Just look at what they did for Frank Lautenberg and Robert Torricelli in New Jersey. It would be a heavy lift but not an impossible one.

‘Biden can’t do it’: European politicians shocked by US president’s debate flop

European politicians, already drowning in multiple crises of their own, were left shell-shocked and aghast at Joe Biden’s meandering performance in Thursday’s presidential debate, aware that a second Trump term had drawn that much nearer – with all that this implies for the rise of populism in the continent, the future of Nato, and for Ukraine and the Middle East.

The voices of despair came from across the mainstream political spectrum, interspersed with the odd call for Europe to prepare even more intensively for a Trump second coming.

“American democracy killed before our eyes by gerontocracy,” Guy Verhofstadt, a member of the European parliament and a former prime minister of Belgium, posted on X.

Did Justin Trudeau cover up the Chinese spy scandal?

The Liberal Party has failed to protect Canada

Did the Chinese Communist Party interfere in the past two Canadian elections? A fantastic series of leaks from Canada’s Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) over the winter of 2022/23 suggests so. The leaks point to a vast CCP campaign of political interference that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government allegedly covered up. It has been a major scandal: a Liberal MP named Han Dong was forced to resign from his party in the aftermath, and reports suggest that a “network” of two dozen candidates and staffers were affected.

Jocelyn Nungaray: Hundreds turn out for funeral of murdered girl – as her family vows revenge against illegal migrants charged with her death

The 12-year-old Houston girl whose brutal killing has shocked the nation and re-opened the debate over the border crisis was laid to rest in Houston today, surrounded by hundreds of Texans who wanted to pay their respects.

The death of Jocelyn Nungaryay, who was strangled, bound and whose body was thrown in a bayou, has captured national attention as the two men accused in her death entered the US illegally in El Paso, Texas.

Venezuelans Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, are facing capital murder charges in her slaying.

Bari Weiss: They Knew

Rarely are so many lies dispelled in a single moment. Rarely are so many people exposed as liars and sycophants. Last night’s debate was a watershed on both counts.

The debate was not just a catastrophe for President Biden. And boy—oy—was it ever.

But it was more than that. It was a catastrophe for an entire class of experts, journalists, and pundits, who have, since 2020, insisted that Biden was sharp as a tack, on top of his game, basically doing handstands while peppering his staff with tough questions about care for migrant children and aid to Ukraine.

Jagmeet Singh says Toronto byelection shows voters are ‘done with Trudeau,’ doesn’t address NDP drop

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said this week’s Toronto—St. Paul’s byelection results showed “how frustrated” Canadians are with Justin Trudeau’s Liberals but declined to explain why his own party’s numbers also experienced a similar drop.

In 2021, the federal NDP got 16.8 per cent of the vote in the Toronto riding, which its represented by the provincial NDP in the Ontario legislature. But during Monday’s byelection, the party garnered only 10.9 per cent of the vote — a drop of nearly six points.

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

Among the less commented-on results of the Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election was the performance of the People’s Party of Canada, the populist-nationalist party led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier. If you missed it, here it is: they got 234 votes, or 0.63 per cent of the total.

What a disappointment this must be for the PPC, after winning 2.67 per cent of the vote in the riding in the past general election. But it’s in keeping with the trend nationally. In the 2021 election the PPC took nearly 5 per cent of the vote. Nowadays it’s mired in the two-to-three-per-cent range.

Coyne bullshits for a living, but this nonsense is below even his typically low standards.

Are Hollywood celebrities ready to ditch Joe Biden after debate night flop against Trump?

Some of Joe Biden’s Hollywood pals must be nervously quaking in their boots after the president’s disastrous performance in Thursday night’s debate against former President Donald Trump.

With his aides blaming a cold for Biden’s halting, confused and oftentimes incoherent responses, the Democrat candidate’s performance was called a “disaster” by a chorus of critics online.

The Trudeau switch has been flicked for Liberals

The mood of Liberals changed abruptly this week, like a switch being flicked.

There were already party apparatchiks and MPs who thought Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should go, of course. But before Monday’s by-election loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s, there were many who thought Mr. Trudeau was probably better than the alternatives.

He’s a good campaigner, they said. He wins seats in Quebec. Those waiting in the wings might lead the party to oblivion.
