Oops! Democrats may have just handed the benefits of their generations of indoctrination and programming to their arch-nemesis, Donald Trump. It looks like Big Left’s multi-generational grooming efforts to make certain groups of Americans see themselves as victims may be about to bite them so hard on the backside, they won’t be able to walk for decades.
Trudeau brings daughter to Edmonton fundraiser to show her he isn’t hated
“I wanted her to see there are rooms filled with people who believe, who are positive, optimistic, and have an optimistic vision of people who come together as all of you have on a beautiful Saturday afternoon,” Trudeau said. @WSOnlineNews pic.twitter.com/8LHqYozLoo

Trudeau deserves every ounce of public vitriol directed at him and his grifter government.
Justin is a vile race baiting swine who routinely slanders Canadians who disagree with him.
Few that I am aware of have ever dragged his kids into the mess he created for himself.
I have no doubt that his children know how reviled their father is. I am sorry for them.
But Junior is a narcissist incapable of self-reflection and will never change his odious ways to protect his children.
Instead this jerk who only 3 weeks ago was demanding privacy now cynically parades his daughter to win public sympathy.
Sophie should demand full custody and seek a court order that Justin never be alone with the children.
It is powered into flight by a rocket engine. It can fly a distance equal to the width of China. It has a stealthy design and is capable of carrying missiles that can hit enemy targets far beyond its visual range.
But what really distinguishes the Air Force’s pilotless XQ-58A Valkyrie experimental aircraft is that it is run by artificial intelligence, putting it at the forefront of efforts by the U.S. military to harness the capacities of an emerging technology whose vast potential benefits are tempered by deep concerns about how much autonomy to grant to a lethal weapon.
Integrity of immigration system at risk as international student numbers balloon, minister says
… Canada is on track to welcome around 900,000 international students this year, Miller said in an interview that aired Saturday on CBC’s The House. That’s more than at any point in Canada’s history and roughly triple the number of students who entered the country a decade ago.
… “It is an ecosystem in Canada that is very lucrative and it’s come with some perverse effects: some fraud in the system, some people taking advantage of what is seen as a backdoor entry into Canada, but also pressure in a number of areas — one of those is housing,” he said.
… But Miller shied away from committing to the idea of a hard cap on the number of students entering Canada.
Integrity is a word that Liberals should be banned from using. What Miller means is the Liberals have to find a “fix” that protects their ethnic strongmen and their skim.
God forbid the Liberals should upset China’s 5th Column operations.
Toronto Chinese Student Association Ex-President Now Working at Chinese Consulate
The former president of a University of Toronto Chinese students association is now employed at the Chinese Consulate in Toronto. The group and its affiliated student associations in many other Canadian educational institutions have a history of close ties with Chinese envoys, and in some cases openly admit they are led by the Chinese diplomatic mission.
The increase in whale, dolphin, and other cetacean deaths off the East Coast of the United States since 2016 is not due to the construction of large industrial wind turbines, U.S. government officials say.
Their scientists have done the research, they say, to prove that whatever is killing the whales is completely unrelated to the wind industry.
Little economic support is available to evacuees now out of work, insurance disputes loom and economic growth may be eroded.
While this year’s wildfire rampage is far from over, its growing economic costs are becoming increasingly clear.
Although we’ve already seen about 10 times as much land burn in Canada this year than we did in all of 2022, this season is unlikely to be a record breaker in terms of financial devastation.
That dubious title belongs to the 2016 season, when the Fort McMurray fire alone forced the evacuation of about 90,000 people and ultimately cost the insurance industry about 4.4 billion Canadian dollars.
That fire also significantly affected the Canadian economy by disrupting production at the oil sands.
But there’s no question that this year’s fires have taken a significant toll on thousands of people as well as governments and, it is likely, the Canadian economy as a whole.
Backstage after the debate, the eight rivals and their teams were frantically pitching their version of why they had won the night and were on course to claim the Republican nomination.
But the huddles of listeners were thinning out and a notably bigger media scrum was forming just outside the “spin room”, around a man representing a candidate who had not bothered to turn up at all.
The rising tide of violent crime can’t be ignored. It’s time to ban handguns
There is not so much a violent crime wave sweeping Canada as a tide of crime that has been rising for years, and is now reaching deeply concerning levels.
The data released last month by Statistics Canada are shocking: the number of police-reported violent crimes nationwide shot up to 531,243 in 2022, an increase of almost two-fifths from 2015, all of it on the Liberals’ watch. Adjusted for population growth, the picture is nearly as bad: there were 1,365 violent crimes per 100,000 Canadians in 2022, a 27-per-cent increase since 2015, and the worst year since 2006.
Ukraine’s forces believe they have broken through Russia’s strongest line of defence and will now be able to advance more quickly, a commander fighting in the south has said.
Kyiv’s troops are poised to capture the village of Robotyne in the southern sector of the frontline, a victory that commanders say could unlock Russia’s formidable defences.
Elsewhere on Ukraine’s battlefields, two Ukrainian jets collided during a training flight, killing three pilots, including an ace who had ambitions to fly F-16s.

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rags the puck on holding a public inquiry on China’s interference into Canadian democracy, which he’s never wanted, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is in China seeking its cooperation on climate change.
Guilbeault’s trip isn’t surprising – U.S. climate envoy John Kerry was in Beijing last month seeking the same thing – nor will it will result in any breakthroughs.
Incentive and tradition are against it, but auto executives occasionally blurt out important truths. The now retired Bob Lutz, who served in top roles for Ford, GM and Chrysler, regularly suggested the government should stop its fuel-economy nonsense and impose a gas tax if it wants Americans to buy high-mileage vehicles.
The late Sergio Marchionne of Fiat and Chrysler correctly called the Obama fuel-economy rules an “electric vehicle mandate.” Not for public consumption, a Toyota executive complained the same rules were also a “second bailout for Detroit” due to a carve-out for U.S.-built gasoline-powered pickups and large SUVs.
Last year, a splenetic industry insider emailed me attacking a column by basically repeating my own argument back to me (a typical phenomenon): Americans want big cars. Detroit is incentivized by the so-called chicken tax to wring all its profits from large, gas-fueled pickups and SUVs while making “compliance” vehicles for the government that lose money.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged this week that: “It’s not an easy time to be a politician.” He wasn’t referring to fears for his — and others’ — safety, rather he was responding to the backlash he and his government have received from Canadians angry with the Liberals’ outlook, their actions, or lack of actions, on several files.
Some of that outrage is misplaced, spurred by misinformation and opposition rhetoric. This month, in P.E.I., for example, I got an earful from a taxi driver in Montague, upset with Trudeau for “wanting to take all our guns away” and “funding wars overseas” (wars in plural).
After weeks of local speculation, the purchasers of 55,000 acres of northern California land have been revealed. The group Flannery Associates – backed by a cohort of Silicon Valley investors – has quietly purchased $800m worth of agricultural and empty land, the New York Times has reported. Their goal is to build a utopian new town that will offer its thousands of residents reliable public transportation and urban living, all of which would operate using clean energy.
The project was spearheaded by Jan Sramek, a 36-year-old former trader for the investment banking firm Goldman Sachs, and is backed by prominent Silicon Valley investors including Michael Moritz, a venture capitalist; Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of Linkedin; Laurene Powell Jobs, the founder of the philanthropic group Emerson Collective and wife of Steve Jobs; Marc Andreessen, an investor and software developer; Patrick and John Collison, the sibling co-founders of the payment processor Stripe; and the entrepreneurs Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman, the Times reported.
From the people who brought you San Francisco.
I just returned home from a vacation to Florence with my wife and son. At the tail-end of this wonderful trip, I caught wind that a federal minister in Canada had received a $273 speeding ticket. A quick search on my iPhone revealed that the minister in question was Chrystia Freeland.
Your faithful diarist went out on the Feast of Stephen—and saw something like a miracle. Seriously.
Sunday, August 20th was the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian king of Hungary, coronated in the year 1000 with a crown sent by the Pope. It is also one of the three official national Magyar holidays. This year I received an invitation to watch the fireworks over the Danube from the terrace of the Carmelite monastery where Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has his office. I stood with a crowd of partygoers oohing and aahing at the spectacular blasts illuminating the city below.
