How Olivia Chow and John Tory might do with voters if an election were held today
Mayor Olivia Chow would hold a narrow lead over former mayor John Tory if Torontonians headed to the polls today, according to a new public opinion survey.
The latest poll by Liaison Strategies put Chow — who has yet to announce whether she will run for re-election next October — at 39 per cent among decided voters. Tory, who is mulling whether to run, was the first choice of 35 per cent of decided voters.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has given details of an updated peace plan that offers Russia the potential withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the east that Moscow has demanded.
Giving details of the 20-point plan agreed by US and Ukrainian negotiators in Florida at the weekend, Zelensky said the Russians would give their response once the Americans had spoken to them.
Describing the plan as “the main framework for ending the war” Zelensky said it proposed security guarantees from the US, Nato and Europeans for a co-ordinated military response if Russia invaded Ukraine again.
Looks like another hoax may be cooking up and just in time for Christmas!

Red paint — meant to symbolize blood — was scrawled all over the windows and front door to make it look like a slaughter scene.
Indigo book stores in Canada were targeted, attacked, in some cases occupied. In Toronto, Indigo was vandalized once again because the bookstore chain’s owners are Jewish and support Jewish charities.

Police in England will stop recording so-called ‘non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHI)—statements believed to be “motivated by prejudice” but that don’t meet the criteria for criminal offences—because they are “not fit for purpose” and pose a threat to free speech.

A mandatory review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement on trade kicks into high gear next year as U.S. President Donald Trump continues his campaign to realign global trade and poach key industries from America’s closest neighbours.
Negotiations on the trade pact, better known as CUSMA, were a stress test for Ottawa during the first Trump administration. The trade talks were tense at times, but ultimately the pact that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement was hailed a success in all three countries.
Since the president’s return to office, however, confidence in CUSMA’s future has waned. During a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House, Trump called the deal “transitional” and said it may have served its purpose.

Both men had a penchant for young flesh — it drove their every feverish waking moment.
Everything else in their lives was background music.

There’s a big milestone coming up for a lot of families this year: first divorced Christmas.
It might be a challenging day of splitting kids between disparate family events. Or, perhaps, Mom and Dad will behave like adults and both show up to the same gathering in an effort to create some normalcy for their children, who, heretofore, might have had an intact family and simple celebrations.

THE Marxist left/liberals have completed their ‘long march through the institutions’. They claim the varied lunatic policies they enacted were for the benefit of society, but can this really be the case? When viewed through the prism of reality, much of Socialism’s ideology appears to have one aim and one aim only: the total destruction of society. This is not an overreaction by any means — if societal destruction was your bag, would you not carry out the following?
A quarter of Canadians are food insecure. Addressing this must be a national priority
Across the country, more and more people can’t meet their basic needs. Families are stretching paycheques to the breaking point – juggling rising rents, transportation costs and grocery bills. These pressures aren’t limited to those living in deep poverty. It’s become mainstream: Full-time workers, students, seniors and parents are making difficult trade-offs that strain their health and well-being.


I was in Westminster Cathedral last week and the place was heaving with migrants and asylum seekers. Only kidding. I was in the cathedral showing my grandson around, but the place was remarkably devoid of migrants and asylum seekers which was probably the result of the two security guards at the entrance.
Funny that, when the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church – my church – seems too keen to welcome migrants, legal or illegal, to our shores and is so keen on the British Government giving so much of our hard-earned taxes to people who have broken our law and make no contribution to the economy, often at the expense of essential services such as GP appointments and housing benefits for people born and bred in this country.

The murder of Charlie Kirk showed how desperate and dangerous woke culture warriors became in 2025.
On balance, all things considered, are you for or against the cold-blooded murder of a young father-of-two, for saying the ‘wrong’ thing?
It is a sign of the degraded state of our public debate that, in 2025, that question became a live issue. Many on the left sought to justify, and even celebrated, the assassination of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September, shot dead while defending free speech at Utah Valley University.

Canadians are hurting this Christmas season. The London-based PwC reports findings from a mid-year survey that Canadians, in general, were planning to spend significantly less overall than last year on holidays. Gen Z, in particular, expects to cut holiday spending by 35%. Additionally, 45% of Canadians said they plan to shop more for used, upcycled, or resale items.
