What’s there to fear about Pierre Poilievre?

Canada has never had a federal Conservative or Liberal leader who fit the term “career politician” more precisely than Pierre Poilievre. He was consumed by politics as a kid and has done nothing except politics ever since. A well-rounded man, he is not.

In his book, Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life, right-side journalist Andrew Lawton traces the Leader’s first political meetings to his early teens, when his mother took him to pro-life events in Calgary. Even before he graduated from high school he was working in the office of Reform Party MP Art Hanger, hauling in $600 a month.

Would Poilievre be where he is today if Trudeau was not PM?

CBC desperately spinning a win in St. Paul’s as a national endorsement of their near universally despised sugar daddy Trudeau

Toronto voters say federal byelection is a referendum on Justin Trudeau’s future

The upcoming Toronto-St. Paul’s federal byelection will be a critical test for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his party — a bellwether indicating how the party is faring in an area of the country where Liberals have performed well for decades.

CBC News spoke to 15 voters in the riding to gauge support for the incumbent party and to learn more about what’s motivating people at the ballot box.

While the June 24 byelection is being held to pick a new MP for Toronto’s midtown, some voters are treating the summer vote as a referendum on Trudeau’s time in power.

The Libs will likely win, Toronto is that stupid. But Toronto is not the real world. It won’t make a difference in TROC.

‘I wish Hitler was back,’ one student told me. Here’s what it’s like to be Jewish and in high school in 2024

If I was asked to pick a theme that defines my education from elementary school to high school it would be anti-bullying.

In school assembly after school assembly, in class after class, teachers and motivational speakers told my peers and me repeatedly: don’t be bystanders to bullying. If you see something say something. And above all, try your best to spread “small acts of kindness” wherever you go.

The sad thing is, it’s become clear that this lesson did not sink in, especially when it comes to antisemitism.

Conrad Black: The media and Trudeau have yet to return to reality

Residential Schools Kenora

The controversy over the alleged surreptitious burial of 215 Indigenous children who had supposedly died at the Kamloops Indian Residential School has been extremely damaging to this country, because it has naturally inflamed the grievances of natives and incited the guilt of a huge number of Canadians, but is based on suppositions unjustified by the known facts. As with other contemporary controversies, dissent pending receipt of evidence tends to be greeted by a storm of reproach that the individual who is unconvinced of the conventional explanation for these alleged graves is not only a ”grave-denier,” like someone who denies the overwhelmingly documented horrors of the Holocaust, but is also an anti-Indigenous racist and even a closet apologist for genocide against the native peoples of Canada.

No Israelis in Brussels? Prepare to lose more than that

The slippery slope is not a figure of speech, but it is terrifyingly reality when dealing with radical Muslims who hate, not just Israel, but all of Western culture.

The football match between Belgium and Israel scheduled for September 6th in Brussels will not be possible. This was announced by the mayor of the Belgian and EU capital, Benoit Hellings, according to whom it would be “simply impossible” to guarantee public order and safety at the stadium and in the city.

“Hosting this match in our capital would provoke huge protests against it, compromising the safety of spectators, players, residents as well as the police force themselves,” Hellings said.

Poor mayor, it must be really complicated to manage a city conquered by Islam. And it couldn’t even do as in Malmö, which allowed Israeli Davis Cup tennis players to play, but without an audience. But that was in 2009, a century ago.

Biden Will Not Be the Nominee

And Hunter’s conviction is his Golden Parachute.

The latest phase in the center ring of the longest circus in American politics, the 2024 campaign, has ended. Hunter Biden is guilty on all counts — where have we heard that before? — and up next is sentencing, another federal trial, and …

Maybe. But I think the Deep State has a true appreciation of Tapioca Joe’s malleability.

The Palestinian Plan For ‘The Day After’ In Gaza: To Kill More Jews And Destroy Israel

The Biden administration says it will soon reveal its plans for the Gaza Strip’s future in the aftermath of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which the terrorist organization murdered 1,200 Israeli, wounded thousands more and kidnapping more than 240 Israelis, including babies, women and the elderly. Half of the Israeli hostages, only 50 of whom may still be alive, are still being held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas terrorists and “ordinary” Palestinians.

She lied to get her twin daughters Inuit status and is about to be sentenced for fraud. Again.

Noah Noah says he has no positive memories of Karima Manji, the woman who used his mother, Kitty Noah, to obtain Inuit identities for her twin daughters so she could gain access to funds only available to Inuit beneficiaries.

“She was really awful,” Noah said of Manji during a CBC News interview in 2023 at his Iqaluit home.

A truly awful family who do not deserve to be in Canada.

Jeff Bezos Bought The Washington Post, But The Left Won’t Allow Him To Run It

Here’s a bit of useful history.

In 1933, the then-bankrupt Washington Post was purchased by the wealthy financier Eugene Meyer. With Meyer’s passing, the paper was inherited by his daughter and son-law, Katherine Meyer Graham and husband Phil Graham.

As his wife noted in her memoirs, Phil Graham himself met with tragedy, suffering from manic depression and eventually taking his own life. With that, Kay Graham was on her own – and decidedly made the Washington Post the paper to read when it came to coverage of all things Washington.
