Trudeau’s Canada: Woman pays 100% of her income on rent

Living with your parents. Living with your ex. Giving up basic needs like food and clothing.

These are just some of the sacrifices Canadians say they’ve been making to pay rent amid the surging prices and decreased availability marking Canada’s rental housing crisis.

Demand for rentals is outpacing supply across the country. A recent CBC News analysis of more than 1,000 neighbourhoods across Canada’s largest cities found that less than one per cent of rentals are both vacant and affordable for the majority of Canadian renters.

The St. Paul’s by-election was bad for the Liberals, but even worse for the NDP

The stunning upset for the Liberals in the by-election in Toronto-St. Paul’s has intensified all sorts of chatter about whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should stay on as leader. It was, after all, a catastrophic loss in a once-stronghold; one that came after the Liberals had thrown just about everything at both the riding and the general electorate. But the results were just as catastrophic for someone else, and should call into question his ongoing fledgling leadership: Jagmeet Singh.

Whether or not Justin Trudeau should quit now is the wrong question. Just ask Kathleen Wynne

Is her ex-husband still living in the basement?

Should Justin Trudeau stay or should he go?

Kathleen Wynne has been there, done that — and didn’t go.

After a bitter byelection defeat for the federal Liberals in Toronto–St. Paul’s riding this week, Wynne has been asking herself the same question anew. As premier, she stayed to fight another campaign in 2018, paying a high price in the election defeat that followed.

Liberal MPs say Trudeau needs to meet with caucus after surprise byelection loss

 

A growing number of Liberal MPs say the national caucus needs to meet as soon as possible to discuss the fallout of this week’s tough byelection loss in Toronto and that the gathering can’t wait until the retreat scheduled for the end of the summer.

One Liberal MP told CBC News that if the caucus waits until that early September meeting to regroup and reset, “we will be writing our obituary.”

The stunning loss in the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection on Monday has fuelled conversations inside the Liberal caucus about the future prospects of the party, the tenability of Justin Trudeau’s leadership and the effectiveness of the political team that surrounds the prime minister.

Farage is telling uncomfortable truths on Ukraine

Nigel Farage has faced almost unanimous criticism for his assertion that, while Vladimir Putin carries prime responsibility for the war in Ukraine, the West’s provocative decision to enlarge Nato had made Russia ready for confrontation. But these criticisms are mostly outbursts of the “How can you parrot Putin?” variety rather than serious examinations of the evidence.

Obviously Farage is right to say that Putin is responsible for the indefensible invasion of Ukraine. But as to his more controversial point about Nato expansion, history – much of it recently researched – also backs his claim.

BillyHW come back, no one wants Ukraine to fall, but a dose of common sense is needed once in awhile.

Military Leaders Push Back on Culture Change Strategy That Blames ‘Patriarchy,’ ‘heteronormativity’

Canada’s armed forces are ready for emergency pronoun deployment under battlefield conditions.

As Canada’s military continues on a path to overhaul its culture, top leaders in the defence establishment have expressed concerns about the tone used in a new strategy paper guiding the change.

The military’s new guiding document, “Defence Team Culture Evolution Strategy,” which is already being rolled out but hasn’t been publicized, blames “colonialism,” “patriarchy,” and “heteronormativity” for cultural problems affecting the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

The Liberals deserve political oblivion for this alone.

Big stakes and high tension as Biden-Trump debate looms

When Donald Trump and Joe Biden take to the debate stage on Thursday night, it will be a reunion of sorts – although not exactly a friendly one.

A current president has never before debated his predecessor, and the bad blood between these two men will be obvious on the CNN debate stage in Atlanta.

Trump never conceded the 2020 election to President Biden and days after his supporters attacked the US Capitol, he broke with tradition by refusing to attend his opponent’s inauguration.

Stolen Valour Sajjan instructed special forces to rescue Afghan Sikhs rather than Canadians during fall of Kabul

Gave his D-Day plan to Ike.

Sajjan instructed special forces to rescue Afghan Sikhs during fall of Kabul

Then-defence minister Harjit Sajjan instructed Canadian special forces to rescue about 225 Afghan Sikhs after the Taliban takeover in August, 2021, in an operation that three military sources say took resources away from getting Canadian citizens and Afghans linked to Canada on final evacuation flights out of Kabul.

Mr. Sajjan also relayed location information and other details about the Sikhs to the military as special operation forces worked to meet up with the group. The information was passed to him from a Canadian Sikh group that was in contact with these Afghan Sikhs.

Accused Highland Park mass shooter thumbs nose at families of 7 killed, dozens hurt in July 4 parade bloodbath with last-minute reversal

Highland Park shooting suspect Robert Crimo III backed out of a plea deal with prosecutors that could have spared the loved ones of his alleged victims the torture of a drawn-out trial, changing his mind at the last minute during a dramatic court hearing.

Crimo is accused of killing seven people and injuring 48 others during the 2022 July 4th Parade in Highland Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

The 23-year-old was expected to plead guilty to seven counts of murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery during a court hearing in Lake County.

Ontario Liberal leader distances herself from Trudeau: ‘I think the bigger friend is Doug Ford’

Bonnie Crombie, Ontario’s Liberal leader, distanced herself from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ahead of the federal party’s byelection loss on Monday.

“I probably speak to the prime minister less than once a year,” she told Global News in an exclusive video interview released Tuesday.

The ruling party lost a seat in the Liberal stronghold of Toronto—St. Paul’s, raising questions over whether the federal party is hampering its provincial cousins.

New York Times says Jamaal Bowman’s defeat was due to ‘flood of Pro-Israel money’

The New York Times was criticized for a headline blaming ‘pro-Israel money’ for Congressman Jamaal Bowman’s loss to George Latimer in a Democratic party primary on Tuesday.

A headline on an article the Times published on the primary result read, “Bowman falls in House primary, overtaken by flood of pro-Israel money.”

The headline was later changed to “Bowman falls to Latimer in a loss for Progressive Democrats.”
