Pierre Poilievre is the man who could beat Trudeau

OTTAWA, Ont. — Canada’s Liberals can no longer deny it. Pierre Poilievre, the fiery Conservative leader set on burning Justin Trudeau’s signature achievements to the ground, is the favorite to win the country’s next election.

Poilievre’s party has vaulted ahead in the polls by harnessing post-pandemic anxiety — high inflation, rising interest rates, and the runaway cost of home ownership in Canada. He fills hotel ballrooms and banquet halls with rowdy crowds, even during a summer season when most voters tend to tune out touring politicians.

Ukraine hits back at NYT report it accidentally bombed its own market

Ukraine on Tuesday pushed back against a New York Times investigation, which said evidence suggested that Kyiv accidentally bombed a local market in its own town of Kostiantynivka killing 15 people.

According to the New York Times‘ report published Monday, a combination of witnesses, findings in Kostyantynivka and open-source investigation of video footage and local anonymous Telegram channels indicated the September 6 attack was actually a tragic accident, caused by a Ukrainian BUK missile system firing toward Russian forces from the Ukrainian-controlled nearby town of Druzhkivka.

Girl found dead in B.C. park had ‘blunt force’ injuries, sexual assault expert says

Ibrahim Ali one of Trudeau’s Syrian refugees.

A sexual assault expert testifying at the British Columbia Supreme Court trial of a man accused of killing a 13-year-old girl six years ago says she believes the girl’s injuries were “highly indicative of blunt force trauma.”

Dr. Tracy Pickett, a doctor specializing in emergency and clinical forensic medicine, says it is unlikely those injuries, to the girl’s vagina, came from a small object such as a tampon, and is more consistent with penial penetration.

Ibrahim Ali has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of the teen, whose body was found in Burnaby’s Central Park early on July 19, 2017, just hours after her mother reported her missing.

Poll shows Biden, 80, losing to Trump, Nikki Haley AND Tim Scott – as party members say his ‘death is imminent’

The majority of American voters are still highly concerned about Joe Biden’s age and mental fitness, a new poll reveals.

Additionally, the Harvard HarrisX Poll released this week shows that three GOP candidates would beat the president in a hypothetical general election – former President Donald Trump, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

While most polls, including the most recent, show Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in second place to Trump, he surprisingly does not beat out Biden in a head-to-head matchup.

There is only so much Ottawa can do about Canada’s housing crisis

Luxury accommodation

There is a simple solution to the housing crisis: Voters in municipalities across Canada could elect mayors and councils dedicated to stripping away zoning restrictions, while simplifying and lowering the costs of permissions and permits.

Unfortunately, voters in municipal elections tend to be homeowners who benefit from escalating prices and who want to preserve their neighbourhoods. Councils reflect their will.

Douglas Todd: Eight reasons politicians don’t really want house prices to fall

Opinion: Most politicians believe, apparently mistakenly, voters will punish them if house prices fell. Their self-interests could also be getting in the way.

Most Canadians, according to polls, are willing to see house prices to drop so people squeezed out of ownership, particularly young adults, can obtain some shelter security.

But, despite politicians’ endless rhetoric about fighting for “affordable” housing, they don’t really want home values to drop. There are several reasons why this is the case.

Drunk? High? Or Both? Day after explosive allegation, Trudeau says he’s not trying to ‘provoke’ India

A day after accusing the Indian government of playing a role in the brazen shooting of a Canadian Sikh leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he isn’t trying to “provoke” the South Asian country.

“We are not looking to provoke or escalate. We are simply laying out the facts as we understand them,” Trudeau told reporters Tuesday, before a cabinet meeting.

What an idiot.

Recent violence on Toronto transit ‘indicative of something larger’: TTC

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) says the rash of recent violent incidents that erupted on its network over the weekend points to a bigger problem that requires an “all hands-on-deck” approach.

“These incidents that are happening on the TTC are indicative of something larger,” TTC spokesperson, Stuart Green, told CP24 Live at Noon on Monday. “There were a number of violent incidents right across this city and throughout the GTA this weekend, and we saw at least two on the TTC. So, all of these are of great concern.”

We’ve got a ways to go before we become as bad as the typical Democrat run progressive paradise city but city hall is working on it rest assured.

John Ivison: Trudeau tries pinning the cost-of-living blame on anyone but himself

I hate this asshole.

To err is human; to blame someone else is politics.

The House of Commons is back and the prime minister had barely cleared his throat before he turned the Opposition leader’s questions on housing and grocery affordability into a response about the Conservative party’s plan to “restrict access to abortion, deny the impact of climate change and put more assault weapons on our streets.”

Politicians looking to pass the buck have always kept the public alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of imaginary hobgoblins, as American journalist H.L. Mencken once put it.

Minister says Canada’s largest grocery chains have agreed to ‘work’ on stabilizing food prices

The heads of Canada’s five largest grocery chains have “agreed to work with” the federal government to stabilize food prices, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Monday.

Champagne and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland met with the heads of Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, Costco and Walmart in Ottawa on Monday. Freeland stayed only for the first few minutes of the two-hour meeting.

“As you would expect, those are difficult discussions but much-needed discussions at a time that Canadians are feeling the high prices of groceries,” Champagne said after the meeting.

WARMINGTON: Battle lines drawn as parents protest gender issues in schools

When it comes to the issue of gender identity being taught in schools, the “battle” lines have been drawn and war has been declared.

Organized labour has mustered a counter-protest of the Million Person March for Children which is set for Wednesday in Toronto, Ottawa and other cities. That has set some people off, especially Kamel El-Cheikh, the organizer of the part of the protest in Ottawa which is being called the Ottawa Hands off Our Kids rally.
