OTTAWA — No matter how many clicks a candidate has on social media or dollars they have in the bank, what it’s going to take to win the Conservative leadership race is votes.
But both the likes and the bucks are part of getting that vote out.
Get-out-the-vote efforts on behalf of all five campaigns are shifting into high gear with just a month remaining in the contest, and even less time to get ballots back to party headquarters to be counted.
A man alleged to be the fourth member of the so-called “Beatles” Islamic State terror cell has been arrested in the UK.
Aine Davis, 38, from Hammersmith, west London, was arrested on Wednesday evening after arriving at Luton airport on a flight from Turkey.
Vegan activists have called for the city of Leicester to rename a traffic roundabout called Pork Pie Island to ‘Vegan Pie Roundabout’.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) suggested the controversial move in a letter to Leicester’s Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby, saying that the island should be rebranded to help promote healthier food choices.
Pork Pie Island was named by locals to match a 1930s library which sits adjacent to the roundabout. The library has a series of round sections surrounding its main building that slightly resembles a pork pie when looking at it from a bird’s-eye view.
A former espionage officer claims that some Canadian politicians are on the payroll of foreign agents.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former chief of the Asia-Pacific desk at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told the Commons ethics committee, “There are elected officials at all levels whether it’s municipal, provincial or federal who are being paid by foreign governments and who are not necessarily acting in the interests of Canada.”
It’s been three years since The Post broke the news that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
The well-connected creep’s sudden demise sparked an avalanche of conspiracy theories and many questions remain about how he died and how he got away with his crimes for so long.
A former Twitter employee has been convicted of failing to register as an agent for Saudi Arabia and other charges after accessing private data on users critical of the kingdom’s government in a spy case that spanned from Silicon Valley to the Middle East.
Ahmad Abouammo, a US citizen and former media partnership manager for Twitter’s Middle East region, was charged in 2019 with acting as an agent of Saudi Arabia without registering with the US government. A jury found him guilty on six counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. The jury acquitted him on another five charges involving wire fraud.
Iranian operative Shahram Poursafi has been charged in an alleged plot to kill former National Security Adviser John Bolton, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday.
The DOJ noted in a press release that Poursafi was a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and an Iranian national. The 45-year-old is accused of attempting “to arrange the murder of” Bolton, “likely in retaliation for the January 2020 death of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — Qods Force … commander Qasem Soleimani,” according to the department.
Starbucks announced that it would be closing 16 locations in cities across the country last month — and not for lack of business, but for their proximity to the wrong kind of foot traffic.
In an email explaining the decision to employees obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Starbucks executives Debbie Stroud and Denise Nelson wrote “we read every incident report you file—it’s a lot.”
“We cannot serve as partners if we don’t first feel safe at work,” added Stroud and Nelson.
Russia’s weapons are “ineffective” and “obsolete”, with armoured vehicles and helicopters unable to withstand small arms fire and missiles that have only a 33 per cent chance of hitting their target, according to an internal Ukrainian government report.
The dossier compiled by the country’s Ministry of Defence and seen by The Times claims that Russian weapons recovered from the battlefield are unreliable and do not meet modern requirements.
Ukrainian defence officials also state in the report that Russia is having to suspend multimillion-pound arms contracts with other nations, either because of sanctions or the need to replenish losses of combat equipment in Ukraine.

The push to transition the national road fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) is on and while increasingly popular with buyers, experts in the transportation space are examining potential problems with mass EV adoption.
One such issue involves EVs and evacuations during natural disasters.
A report from Transportation Research published in ScienceDirect headlined “Can we evacuate from hurricanes with electric vehicles?” found that Florida—which often bears the force of hurricanes—may not have enough power to cope during an evacuation.
“Electric vehicles” are the Big Lie of the Green-Scam.
Wind and solar will not provide anywhere near sufficient amounts of electricity to run vehicles on the scale we are used to seeing today no matter what the green-scammers say.
They will never be in use on a large scale without a huge investment in nuclear power to charge them and the scammers will never agree to that.
EV manufacture and disposal creates a brand new set of environmental hazards. And then there are the unique safety issues of EV’s, fire departments warn of lithium battery fires that are both highly toxic and difficult to extinguish.
They lie because they don’t want you to know that the plan is to ban privately owned vehicles.
Maybe the RCMP’s use of spyware to track cellphones, laptops and tablets has been perfectly legitimate. Maybe they’ve only used specially trained investigators who know how to walk the exceptionally tricky line between lawful investigation and invasion of privacy.
Two men attacked in Washington DC being probed as possible hate crime: cops
Two men in Washington D.C. were attacked in a potential hate crime by assailants who allegedly used an anti-gay slur and referenced “monkeypox,” authorities said.
Metropolitan Police Department said the pair of hateful suspects approached the victims and made derogatory comments “based on their sexual orientation” around 7 p.m. Sunday.
The suspects called the couple “monkeypox f—–s” and punched them several times, according to an ABC story, which cited an incident report.
Staff planned to ‘inform’ on those they believed were transphobic, The Times reveals
A group of hard-left academics has been accused of stifling free speech on university campuses by plotting a witch-hunt against colleagues on gender identity.
University and College Union (UCU) members pledged to compile a list of university backroom staff suspected of holding gender-critical beliefs, the minutes from a meeting leaked to The Times reveal.
The plan was to use this information to “inform” UCU university branches of their colleagues’ views, accusing them of being “transphobes” and “gender-critical activists”.
A controversial organization operating out of a historic Ottawa church has set up what it calls a “private security force,” saying it was necessary because police weren’t responding to its concerns quickly enough.
The United People of Canada (TUPC) said it has identified people it claims have committed crimes targeting the group, and is prepared to “ensure the rule of law is upheld within our lawful authority,” according to William Komer, one of its directors.
However, Komer wouldn’t share details about whether the force will be made up of outside contractors or the group’s supporters.
