Etobicoke residents upset over plan to build Somali centre

Downtown Mogadishu, an aspirational vision of Toronto’s future from Mayor Chow

A city-backed plan to build a recreation centre for Toronto’s Somali community is facing an uncertain future, after fierce backlash from residents who have enlisted Premier Doug Ford in their fight to stop the project coming to their neighbourhood.

The group behind the proposal to construct a Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation (SCCR) in Etobicoke’s Buttonwood Park says it would be the culmination of a decades-long effort to carve out space for a Black community that has endured discrimination and lacks access to public amenities.

Nothing says identity politics ghetto like a tax payer funded Mohammedan centre.

Christopher Dummitt: Liberal MPs have the power to replace Trudeau — they just have to take it

The American Democratic party and the Canadian Liberal party both have the same problem: how to get rid of a leader who ought to know enough to resign on his own?

It’s anyone’s guess if U.S. President Joe Biden will step aside. But the Canadian Liberals should have an easy solution: if they could only remember that we live in a British-style parliamentary democracy, they could be rid of their Justin Trudeau problem.

‘It’s all out war now’: Liberal MPs, senior Grits predict a ‘volatile’ summer with ‘lots of political games’

If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to shuffle his cabinet or make any changes to his team of senior political aides, he should do so as soon as possible to calm caucus members’ jittery nerves as unfolding events are creating an atmosphere of unpredictability for the governing party, say Liberal MPs.

“It’s better to have it now. People expect there’s going to be some change, and that we need to see that change happen soon so that people can move on with their lives,” said one Liberal MP who spoke on a not-for-attribution basis to share their candid views. “Whether it’s leadership [change] in the PMO, in the party—definitely cabinet—[or a] change in orientation in moving to the centre.”

Public safety minister convenes top security officials, assures even bigger SUV convoys for Trudeau after attack on Trump

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says top Canadian security officials have assured him that they have upped their vigilance following Saturday’s assassination attempt on former U.S. president Donald Trump.

In a series of posts on social media on Sunday, LeBlanc said he met with RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, David Vigneault, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, and Public Safety Canada officials.

“They have assured me that they are exercising increased vigilance and are in close contact with their American partners,” the minister said. “I have every confidence that they will continue to keep Canadians safe.”

Canada Said to Have Mapped Out Secret Chinese Police Operations

Canada has done a detailed mapping of what it says are covert Chinese police operations within its borders and wants to explore a response with Group of Seven allies to a challenge faced by several nations.

The issue of Beijing allegedly setting up unofficial “police stations” in Western democracies — to monitor and intimidate members of the Chinese diaspora — has become a growing concern. Canada, the US, Italy, Germany and the UK have all grappled with the problem.

The best and brightest don’t want to stay in Canada. I should know: I’m one of the few in my engineering class who did

I’m used to seeing my friends pack up bags and move to the United States. Most of my graduating class of software engineering at the University of Waterloo decamped for the U.S. right after graduating in 2019. The few who stayed back, have strongly considered moving or have gradually made the jump since.

Recent data shows that this trend is accelerating and is no longer isolated to tech. According to data from the U.S. census, more than 126,000 people from Canada moved to the United States in 2022, a 70 per cent increase from 2021 and one of the highest numbers seen yet.

How Project 2025 could upend Canada-U.S. relationship under Trump

Concerns are growing about how a far-right policy agenda known as Project 2025 could influence a second Donald Trump presidency — as well as Canada’s relationship with the United States.

Democrats have been attempting to tie Trump to the controversial initiative and convince voters its extreme conservative policies would be representative of how Trump will govern if he wins the U.S. election in November.

At the heart of Project 2025 is a plan to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy to make the civil service much more aligned with the political interests of the White House. That would have major implications on the day-to-day business of managing Canada-U.S. relations in important areas like trade, analysts say.

No. 1 – Trump is on record stating Project 2025 is not on his radar making this one more example of MSM TDS.

No. 2 – Making the civil service much more aligned to his political interests is exactly what Justin Trudeau has done in Canada.

Former federal appointment overseer says Liberals’ explanation for not vetting Dattani isn’t believable

Birju Dattani – Hateful Muslim hired by Trudeau to do Hateful Muslim stuff

OTTAWA — A former aide to then prime minister Stephen Harper who oversaw major appointments is casting doubt on the Liberals’ explanation that the public service failed to properly vet Canada’s new human rights commissioner Birju Dattani.

Howard Anglin, who served as Harper’s deputy chief of staff, said that each appointment for the head of a major agency or board goes through layers of verifications from ministerial staff, the Privy Council Office (PCO) and the cabinet itself.

People hate Trudeau so much they’ll vote for Poilievre even though they couldn’t pick him out of a line-up says perplexed Star

Who’s that guy? Pierre Poilievre may not be recognizable to some Canadians, but a lot of them still want to vote for him

OTTAWA — About a third of Canadians can’t put a name to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s face, a new poll suggests, even as his party commands at least a 17-point lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in public support.

But Abacus Data CEO David Coletto says that’s not actually a problem for Poilievre, and instead signals one for Trudeau, whose floundering fortunes are driving big questions about how or if he can hang on to power — and who might replace him if he goes.

Trudeau’s Canada: Struggling seniors face sky-high rents and few, if any, options

Ron Sept is getting desperate.

He can’t afford a car, his prescription medications, eyeglasses or new clothes, he said. He’s stopped eating meat to save on groceries, which he can only buy with the money his son living overseas sometimes sends him. If you visit him in his one-bedroom apartment in Nanaimo, B.C., you’d have to sit on the floor, because he has one chair and no table.

Jewish advocates say details around investigation into human-rights chief murky

OTTAWA – Three weeks after the federal Liberals promised to do a “formal, independent review” of the appointment of Canada’s new human-rights commissioner, the government hasn’t provided any details about what that review will entail.

Birju Dattani, former executive director of the Yukon Human Rights Commission, was named as the new head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission on June 14.

On Aug. 8, he is set to start a five-year term in the new job, as the first person of colour and the first Muslim man to hold the role.
