In These Strange, Savage Times, a ‘Practical’ Antisemitism Emerges in Britain

The Labour Party may have ejected Jeremy Corbyn, but the Green Party is now putting up aggressively Islamist candidates.

For years I’ve been oddly intrigued by those poor souls who somehow manage to run themselves over with their own cars, such as the pop singer Brian Harvey of East 17. I always think of this when I consider the Keystone Kommunism of Komrade Jeremy Corbyn.

He’s the little man who got behind the wheel of a vehicle far too large for him to handle and eventually went under it when, in 2019, he led Labour to its greatest defeat since 1935. Huge swaths of traditional working-class Labour heartlands — the Red Wall — opted for Boris Johnson.

‘Crappy’ polling numbers make some Liberal MPs uneasy about electoral prospects, but still consider next election ‘worth fighting’

Odds are stacked against the governing Liberals, making some MPs “nervous” and “uneasy” about the next election, but caucus members are vowing to go all-in against the federal Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre.

“We’ve got a year to turn it around. [It] means that the campaign is going to matter,” said four-term Liberal MP Sean Casey (Charlottetown, P.E.I.) in an interview with The Hill Times. “It means that people are completely disengaged. It means that we’re long in the tooth, and the political pendulum is swinging against us. … We can’t give up, and I owe it to the people I represent, we owe it to Canadians to keep plugging, to keep a positive message, and to keep working. I mean, I don’t know what the hell else you can do.”

Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden

A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump.

All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.

‘We will be your human shields’: Why unions are showing up in force to support the U of T pro-Hamas protest encampment

Settlement offers have been made and rejected. Deadlines have come and gone. Convocation is around the corner. As the Palestinian solidarity camp at the University of Toronto stretches into its fourth week, all outcomes other than a police intervention appear increasingly unlikely.

With tensions stretching to their limit, representatives of workers have thrown their hat into the ring, pledging to support the student protesters till the end.

What will Trump jury decide? Here are the three options

After more than five weeks, countless hours of testimony and a mountain of documents, New York Justice Juan Merchan will soon instruct a panel of 12 New Yorkers to make a historic decision: whether Donald Trump is guilty or not guilty of felony charges.

After both sides make their final pitches to jurors on Tuesday, Justice Juan Merchan will deliver deliberation instructions, going over each of the charges and explaining the elements of the alleged crime. While they can be technical and dry, the instructions are important guidelines for jurors’ deliberations.

Ontario blowing $225-million to cancel its Beer Store contract is a scandal, not something to celebrate

Who asked Ontario’s government to blow upward of $225-million to accelerate the introduction of beer and wine in corner stores?

Is there an overworked nurse in Thunder Bay who has been pleading for respite in the form of 12-packs at her local convenience store? Have parents of children with autism been banging on the Premier’s door, demanding better access to Coors Light? Is there some sort of clandestine wine-drinking lobby in this province that told Doug Ford they simply can’t wait another 16 months for new places to shop for booze?

RUBENSTEIN: The costly and damaging hoax of the Kamloops residential school

“Lies, damned lies, and statistics” is a well-known phrase describing the persuasive power numbers often have in bolstering weak arguments.

This well applies to the sketchy use of figures by B.C.’s Kamloops Indian Band, locally known as Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, in a May 27, 2021, media statement of seismic numerical implications, literally and figuratively …

Britain will soon discover, to its horror, that there is no ‘moderate’ Left

Since it seems inevitable that we will soon have a Labour government it is worth pondering now what manner of monstrosity it might be.

The Conservatives have spent recent days warning about the known knowns of the Labour Party. Which is perhaps inevitable. But to continue with the Rumsfeld-ism, we should spend at least some time dwelling on the known unknowns. The things that we know that we do not yet know.

Military Leaders Said Dropping Vaccine Mandate Would ‘Weaken’ Institution’s Credibility

The day after the federal government announced it would suspend its vaccine mandates in June 2022, military leaders were taking stock of their own related policy, with some saying making a similar announcement would impact the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) “credibility.”

“If we rescind the CDS Directive, the credibility of the institution is weakened, particularly the relationship between the strategic and tactical levels,” read minutes from a Strategic Operations Planning Group (SOPG) meeting on June 15, 2022.

Canadian military’s ability to battle forest fires will be limited this year, top general warns

The Canadian military’s ability to help battle forest fires will be limited this year because of reduced readiness and the need to send troops to Latvia, warns the country’s top general.

Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre also complained that the use of military personnel in fighting wildfires in Canada has become, in some cases, “wickedly wasteful.”
