Tom Mulcair: The GTA and Quebec still stand in the way of the Pierre Poilievre juggernaut

There are two steep hills that Pierre Poilievre will have to climb if he hopes to turn his good polling numbers into victory: the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Quebec.

The 60 or so seats in the GTA and the 78 seats of La Belle Province have been elusive prizes since the creation of the Conservative Party under Stephen Harper.

In 2021, the Liberals ran the table in Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton. This time around, things promise to be very different. Clever policy work, deep data and an open approach to ethnocultural communities and their concerns could open the floodgates for Poilievre.

Personally I believe the disgust Canadians hold for Trudeau makes re-election impossible however Mulcair is not talking pie in the sky nonsense.

Disgraceful and disgusting: Our Jewish woke moralizerrs

“We are here as men who refuse to have their Jewishness and the Holocaust hijacked by an ‘occupation’ which has led to conflict for so many innocent people”.

This is how British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer spouted forth idiocies as he received the Oscar for best international film for “The Zone of Interest”. So what if Gaza has not been under “occupation” since 2005 and Hamas does not know what to do with Glazer’s distancing from his own “Jewishness”? It’s like the Jewishness of Judith Butler, the gender philosopher of Berkeley who last week defined the massacre of 7th October as “armed resistance”. There are no “good Jews” in Hamas’ world.

A New Chapter in the Haitian Nightmare

The nation’s downward spiral toward a Hobbesian war of all against all seems endless.

Anyone who has been to Haiti does not forget the experience. It is a beautiful, fascinating, tragic, and horrible place. The American writer, Herbert Gold, who lived there for part of his life, wrote a marvelous memoir, calling Haiti “the best nightmare on earth.” Haiti is the only country I have been to where starveling children have tried to snatch food from my plate, insinuating their stick-thin wrists through the grille that supposedly protected the restaurant’s customers.


Barbeque getting a bad rap?

Hur Transcript Released: Things Just Got a Lot Worse for Joe Biden

Last month, the Hur report found that Joe Biden willfully retained, mishandled, and disclosed classified information but determined that he was essentially too senile to stand trial. Biden delivered an impromptu address to the nation that managed to make things worse for him. According to the report, Biden struggled to remember details, and he couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.

Palestinians: ‘Revitalized’ Means Unity with Hamas Terrorists

The US administration believes that the Palestinian Authority (PA) should be “revitalized” before it is handed control over the Gaza Strip after the Iran-backed Hamas terror group is removed from power. The US administration, however, has not clarified what it means when it talks about the “revitalization” of the PA. It can be assumed that it implies implementing — and enforcing — comprehensive reforms and ending the rampant financial and administrative corruption in Palestinian governing institutions.

PA leaders, meanwhile, seem to have a different interpretation of the “revitalization” proposal. For these leaders, revamping the PA means forging an alliance with Hamas by inviting the terror group to be part of a new governing body that would rule the Gaza Strip in the post-war era.

John Robson: Our Brave New World of Drugging Kids Is Nothing to Be Proud Of

Here’s a weird headline. At least I hope you find it weird: “CDC Warns Thousands of Children Sent to ER After Taking Common Sleep Aid.” And my big concern isn’t even that a common sleep aid is causing medical emergencies. It’s that so many kids are taking them that thousands can experience adverse effects. Why is everyone on drugs, including children?
Here I scowl, “O brave new world, that has such people in it.” I realize they no longer teach such things in schools (when I asked a Grade 7 English teacher which novels they’d be teaching I was informed it was the wrong question). But I trust Epoch Times readers to know it’s from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and inspired Aldous Huxley’s sardonic novel title about people living dreadful empty lives in a contented pharmacological stupor.

Nanos Poll: Government spending & budget deficit most blamed for rise in cost of living, with increasing blame on businesses

While an increasing proportion of Canadians blame businesses increasing their prices (26%, up from 13% in 2022), Canadians still blame most often the Government of Canada’s spending and budget deficit policies for the sharp rise in prices and cost of living over the past year. Of note, blame on the Russo-Ukrainian war continues to decrease since tracking started (five per cent; 17% in 2022).

The Taliban once smashed TVs. Now it fosters YouTubers to promote its image.

Taliban Influencer

KABUL — The Taliban-run government is fostering a thriving community of YouTube influencers and video bloggers in Afghanistan, seeking to shape a positive narrative about the country by rewarding those who have welcome viewpoints with access to stories that can draw millions of views online.

The Taliban, which smashed televisions and burned films in the 1990s during its first stint in power, is now using modern video technology in its radical campaign to remake Afghanistan. The regime grants influencers coveted broadcasting licenses that put them on an equal footing with TV networks and radio stations, and threatens to withdraw the licenses of those who break official rules. Influencers whose work is seen as benefiting the regime have been allowed to embed with government ministries and showcase their achievement.

Anti-Groomers disrupt Drag Queen Storytime at St. Catharines library

Small group of screaming protesters barge into Drag Queen Storytime at St. Catharines library

An event intended to teach acceptance and inclusivity to children was upended Saturday when a small group of protesters barged into St. Catharines Public Library and launched hate-filled tirades.

Fewer than 10 protesters created a spectacle during a Drag Queen Storytime held at the downtown library branch, which saw the group storm into the program room during the morning event, screaming and yelling profanities in front of young children, accusing adults in attendance of pedophilia and child grooming.

Warning this article is very pro-groomer.

Western Financial Censorship Goes Global

Trudeau and Freeland being reminded of what happened to the Ceausescu’s

… In 2019, the Russian government froze bank accounts linked to opposition politician Alexei Navalny (as reported by Reuters). Three years later, in February 2022, Canada froze the bank accounts of the ‘Freedom Convoy’ truckers who were protesting against vaccine mandates—with no due process, appeals process, or court order necessary.

Ironic that Trudeau and Freeland aped Putin. Not.

Trudeau’s Surveillance State: RCMP Concerned With ‘Popular Resentment’ Fuelled by Falling Living Standards

In a forecasting report meant to prepare the police force for the future, the RCMP notes a degradation of living conditions in Canada could lead to increased “popular resentment.”

“The coming period of recession will accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” says the report “Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada.”

DOJ Interview Transcript: Joe Biden Made Car Noises, Often Meandered Off-Topic

The transcript of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Bob Hur showed the president frequently wandered off topic, even making “car noises.”

The transcript, obtained by Breitbart News in advance of Hur’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee, showed a prosecutor had asked Biden about his beloved Corvette, trying to pinpoint the timeline of when classified documents were moved to make room for the car in his home garage.
