If Trudeau stays, he needs one ‘last reboot’ this summer, say Liberal MPs, pollsters, and political insiders

With the Liberals 21 points behind in the polls, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will need to “supercharge his front bench” and give his government “a new sense of energy” if he really wants to lead his party and be competitive in the next election, say Liberal MPs, pollsters and party insiders.

“Assuming that he wants to lead the party in the next election, the budget impact has been flat,” said Nik Nanos, chief data scientist for Nanos Research. “It means that if he wants to be competitive, he has to do something different. He has to perhaps talk about what does Justin Trudeau version 2.0 mean.”

Hiding the Ball

My guess is these immigrant go-getters didn’t get their start in Malmo.

A university board in Sweden is suppressing research on immigrant income.

A new study of migrants to Sweden found something that will surprise no one: immigrants from some countries end up making significantly more money, on average, than immigrants from others.
Country of origin matters a lot, and it matters at least into the second generation.

Andreas Ek, a young professor at the University of Lund, reported earlier this year in the Journal of Political Economy that, if you ranked average incomes by country of origin, the average immigrant from a country at the 90th percentile earned three times as much as one who came from a country at the 10th percentile. In statistics jargon, that’s the “90/10 income ratio”—and a 3x wage difference is big. For reference, the 90/10 income ratio for IQ—a span of about 40 IQ points—predicts just a 1.5x to 2.2x wage difference.

Will China Soon Control Both Elon Musk and SpaceX?

At the end of April, Elon Musk at the last moment cancelled a trip to India, instead showed up in Beijing, and snagged a deal to rescue Tesla. The results were immediate: The shares of the electric-vehicle maker, which had been out-of-favor on Wall Street, soared on the news.

Now Washington has to be worried that China will control Musk’s other company, SpaceX, which is critical to America’s ambitions in space.

FLASHBACK: Lefties Frowned As America Cheered bin Laden’s Demise

Thirteen years ago, nearly all Americans were united in celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader behind the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Yet one group stood on the sidelines and scowled: the Sourpuss Left, which fretted the “mindless jubilation” and “jingoistic hubris” of those cheering the elimination of the evil al Qaeda leader, an avowed enemy who had ordered the deaths of thousands of innocent people.

Toronto’s construction season traffic is ‘unacceptable.’ Is there a better way?

Sun’s out, shovels out.

As the warm weather sets in, Toronto will welcome its unofficial fifth season: construction season.

Workers will be outside taking advantage of the weather to get all sorts of projects done, such as road maintenance and sewer upgrades.

However, the season is notorious for its traffic congestion, and with the amount of work going on, planning experts say better execution is needed to reduce the impact on people’s lives.

Driving in Toronto sucks at the best of times.

Toronto cop to be sentenced in racist promotion cheating scandal that saw her give exam answers to fellow black cops … Star suggests it was Diversity effort

Inexcusable police misconduct from a high-ranking officer, or an ill-fated attempt to diversify Toronto’s ranks?

The motivations of Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke could take centre stage Monday, as the high-profile and long-delayed penalty hearing begins for the pioneering senior officer entangled in a promotional cheating scandal that rocked the force in 2022.

A diversity effort?  I bet she keeps her job.

Of course she’s the victim … High-ranking Toronto police officer helped officers cheat on exam due to isolation and mistreatment, lawyer says

Columbia Concedes, Cancels Main University-Wide Commencement Ceremony Because of the Radicals

Looks like Columbia University has conceded a big event to the radical pro-Hamas protesters.

After weeks of turmoil and finally calling in the police to clear out the encampment and Hamilton Hall which the activists broke into and occupied, Columbia is calling off the university-wide commencement ceremony that was scheduled for May 15. It’s usually held on the lawn where the radical activists had been encamped.

Three MPPs asked to leave Queen’s Park legislature after Speaker clarifies where the Hamas rag can be worn

Checks all boxes, Black, female, disabled, hates Jews

Speaker Ted Arnott says the kaffiyeh can be worn in the Ontario legislative building — but not in the chamber itself.

Shortly after his remarks during Monday’s question period — which he said were to clarify his previous ruling that banned the black-and-white scarves at Queen’s Park — three MPPs were told to leave the chamber for donning kaffiyehs, which they did.

New Democrats Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto Centre), Joel Harden (Ottawa Centre) and former NDP now Independent MPP Sarah Jama told reporters after that they disagree with the ban.

Young Canadians feel poorer in warning sign for economy, Trudeau

Canadians are feeling gloomy about their personal finances — and Generation Z is the gloomiest of all.

The Nanos Pocketbook Index, a measure of how people perceive their personal finances and job security, fell to 50 last week, matching its April 2020 low. It’s one component of the broader Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index, which also gauges the public’s expectations about the economy.

Hamas tells Qatari, Egyptian mediators it agrees to ceasefire proposal

Hamas has told the Qatari and Egyptian mediators that it agreed to the Qatari-Egyptian ceasefire proposal, the terror group told Al Jazeera on Monday evening.

Earlier today, it was reported that Hamas suspended hostage talks as Israel ignored the warnings of world leaders and pushed forward with plans for a military operation in Rafah, starting with the evacuation of Palestinians from that area of Gaza on Monday.

“We confirm that any military offensive in Rafah will not be a picnic to the fascist occupation army,” Hamas said in a statement. “Our brave resistance on top of them, the Qassam Brigades, is fully prepared to defend our people and defeat this enemy.”

Public Looks Forward To Election Wipe Out Of Freeland Lead Liberals Assuming Trudeau Ever Disappears

Someone will eventually succeed Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader. Here’s what Canadians told a pollster about some of the potential contenders

OTTAWA — Of a slate of potential Liberal leadership contenders largely unknown to the public, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is the most prominent in a hypothetical race with no obvious front-runner, a new poll suggests.

The recent survey by Abacus Data asked 1,500 respondents about their impressions of seven “possible Liberal leadership candidates” to one day succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The respondents were asked who they would prefer to see replace Trudeau as Liberal leader if he announced he was not going to run again.

Hamas Supporters stage Gaza protest and ‘chant at Holocaust and October 7 survivors’ as they walked to Auschwitz in ‘March of the Living’

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators massed near the grounds of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp today, rolling out flags and hoisting balloons as groups gathered for the ‘March of the Living’ in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust.

Police sirens wailed as protestors displayed banners at groups wearing Israeli flags along the sidelines of the event, which brings together thousands annually to observe Holocaust Remembrance Day in silence.

Eyewitnesses claimed protestors were ‘chanting’ at participants on the march, with Israelis responding with lines from ‘Am Israel chai’, a Jewish solidarity anthem.
