Biden’s poor debate performance renews questions about Trump, Trudeau and Canada’s future

U.S. President Joe Biden’s uneven — and at times incoherent — debate performance Thursday reportedly has triggered panic in Democratic circles as it could lead to an insurmountable lead for Donald Trump and a victory in November’s vote.

It also has observers on this side of the border wondering what a second Trump presidency could mean for Canada and how political leaders here will handle the sometimes volatile former president if he wins again.

Polls suggest Trump was already leading Biden before Thursday’s debate in the six battleground states that are expected to decide the presidential election — Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin

New York Times editorial board calls on Biden to drop out

Not sure if this Time cover is real but it should be.

The New York Times editorial board called on President Biden to suspend his campaign after his shaky debate performance against former President Trump on Thursday.

“Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on this threat of tyranny and defeating it. His argument rests largely on the fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020,” the board wrote. “That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.”

The Most Disastrous Debate Performance in U.S. History

The loud, lingering question: can his candidacy survive this?

It started with a “Hello, Cleveland” moment. Joe Biden gingerly shuffling to the podium and saying in a husky whisper “Great to be here, thank you” to an empty room foreshadowed.

The 90 minutes that followed showcased a candidate struggling to articulate coherent thoughts in complete sentences and occasionally suffering brain freezes.

Danielle Kubes: Why some Jews are giving up on Canada

Dana Kontorsky, a 27-year-old social worker, was at the Fuego Fuego music festival in Montreal last month wearing a Star of David necklace. She was getting drinks when she saw a girl in a keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern scarf that has become a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The girl looked at Kontorsky’s necklace and called her a “nasty Jew.”

What I Saw at a Terrorist Rally Outside a Synagogue

Thirty minutes after Hamas supporters first set up their operation outside a Los Angeles synagogue, they maced their first Jew. And the Los Angeles police did nothing.

Not until an hour into the terrorist rally outside a synagogue, did the LAPD finally step in, pushing back masked Jihad supporters in keffiyeh terror scarves from the entrance of Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) which they had occupied.

An Ottawa elementary school was missing 80 percent of its students during its scheduled “Pride” flag raising ceremony earlier this month, a local pro-family activist has said.

Speaking to LifeSiteNews, Muslim pro-family activist Kamel El-Cheikh said that on June 4, teachers and staff at Michaelle Jean Elementary School in Ottawa, Ontario were baffled when 591 out of 738 students (80 percent) were missing from the school’s LGBT “Pride” flag raising ceremony.

Republican Calls Out CNN Panel Propping Up Biden, ‘Lying’ to All Americans

The liberal media was finally forced to admit that the senile president wasn’t wearing clothes following Thursday’s presidential debate hosted by CNN. As a member of a predominantly liberal/pro-Biden panel, Republican commentator Scott Jennings took them all to tack for trying to prop up President Biden’s campaign and lying to the American people about how cogent he obviously wasn’t.

I know the inside story of the Liberal revolt against Justin Trudeau. How? I overheard it in a train station … Guilbeault now says he was taken out of context

Steven Guilbeault Enjoys Kissing Xi Jinpings Ass

Steven Guilbeault has been taking the temperature of the Liberal Party caucus as calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation mount.

The environment minister was in Toronto this week to meet with Members of Parliament who were awestruck by Monday’s upset defeat in the Toronto–St Paul’s byelection. He spent Thursday working the phones with Liberals across the country trying to take stock of how bad things really are.

I know this because Guilbault did some of this work in public, in the Via Rail business lounge, as he sat next to Canada’s least-recognizable columnist: Me.

Head of National Microbiology Lab resigns in wake of scientist security scandal

The head of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg says he is stepping down to continue his medical work and take a position at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, CBC News has learned.

Since 2020, Dr. Guillaume Poliquin has overseen Canada’s only Level 4 virology facility, which is equipped to deal with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases.

Poliquin announced his resignation to staff in an internal email on Tuesday.

With so little public information it isn’t hard to imagine this was much worse than we know.

Michelle Obama ‘not campaigning for Biden over treatment of her friend’

Michelle Obama has resisted campaigning for Joe Biden in part because of how the family treated Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, according to reports.

While Barack Obama has been helping boost Biden’s 2024 campaign by co-hosting glitzy fundraisers and appearing in promotional videos, the former first lady has been notably absent from the trail.

She is also understood to have refrained from posting about Mr Biden’s campaign other than to repost his announcement declaring he was running.
