Conservatives win longtime Liberal stronghold Toronto-St. Paul’s in shock byelection result

Conservatives win longtime Liberal stronghold Toronto-St. Paul’s in shock byelection result

Conservative candidate Don Stewart has won the longtime federal Liberal stronghold of Toronto-St. Paul’s, a stunning result that raises questions about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s future.

Stewart’s victory is shocking because the seat has been held by the Liberals for more than 30 years — even through the party’s past low points, such as the 2011 federal election that returned just 34 Liberal MPs to Parliament.

Before Monday’s vote, a Conservative candidate hadn’t been competitive in Toronto-St. Paul’s since the 1980s. The party hadn’t won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election.

CTV – Conservatives take late lead to win Toronto byelection

Globe – Conservatives take Toronto riding in major upset for Liberals

NatPo – Byelection calamity for Trudeau as Conservatives scoop Liberal stronghold in Toronto

The Star – Conservatives score upset win Toronto—St. Paul’s byelection

Thank you Nasty Bitch Freeland!

Prediction – All of Trudeau’s media who declared an LPC win to be a national endorsement of Trudeau will now declare St. Paul’s an insignificant loss in the grand scheme of things.

Misunderstanding Islam

Perhaps more than any other academic besides Edward Said, French philosopherMichel Foucault is responsible for today’s alliance between Leftists and Islamists. He died in 1984, but his misunderstanding of Islam lives on, influencing the way the West views Islam.

Islam and America

At the nation’s founding, American vessels and American citizens were being seized by Barbary Coast pirates on behalf of sheikhdoms of Morocco, Algiers, and Tripoli, who were enslaving them because the Koran gave them that “right and duty,” as the Ambassador of Tripoli told Ambassador Thomas Jefferson in 1786. But then President Jefferson defeated the Barbary pirates, and for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, Islam and the Muslim world was removed, distant, exotic, unfamiliar.

Trudeau’s Canada: From fast food to construction, employers exploit temporary foreign workers at expense of Canadian citizens

From fast food to construction, employers turn more and more to temporary foreign workers

Businesses’ demand for temporary foreign workers has surged across the country in recent years, with employers given the green light to hire more than double the people through the federal program last year as they did five years ago.

The program is designed to provide short-term relief to employers as a last resort, but has been scrutinized for its potential knock-on effects to the broader economy and the vulnerable position in which it can place workers.

Last year, employers were cleared to hire 239,646 temporary foreign workers, about the population of Regina. That’s up from 108,988 in 2018, according to figures published by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

Housing shortages, depressed wages, racist hiring practices, health care services among many others stretched beyond breaking. Thank Trudeau.

Majority of millennials, Gen Z don’t support Trudeau’s internet regulation plans: poll

A new Postmedia-Leger poll contains a stark warning for any political party gunning for Gen Z and millennial voters in the next federal election: be wary of a heavy hand in trying to regulate the internet.

The poll, released Monday, finds that less than half of Canadians aged 18 to 39 say they “support the government’s new rules to regulate the web, podcasts, streaming and social media to restrict offensive speech and online harms.” Only 44 per cent say they support the initiatives. The majority either disagree with the policies (39 per cent) or don’t know (16 per cent).

Transphobic Iranian parliament proposes labeling Canadian army as terrorist group

Iranian lawmakers introduced a motion on Sunday to label the Canadian army a “terrorist” entity, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency. This move follows Canada’s recent designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.

The motion was presented during an open session in Tehran, where the Iranian parliament reacted to Canada’s declaration on Wednesday. The new measure mandates the Iranian government to categorize the Canadian army and affiliated armed and security forces as “terrorist” organizations.

The Liberals are hustling to stop a ‘seismic shift’ in one of their safest seats

OTTAWA — Even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has watched his Liberal party’s poll numbers dive deeper and deeper into the abyss over the last year, he has managed to hold his ground in the House of Commons.

That could change on Monday.


Elect the permanent political class.

Conrad Black: The media and Trudeau have yet to return to reality

Residential Schools Kenora

The controversy over the alleged surreptitious burial of 215 Indigenous children who had supposedly died at the Kamloops Indian Residential School has been extremely damaging to this country, because it has naturally inflamed the grievances of natives and incited the guilt of a huge number of Canadians, but is based on suppositions unjustified by the known facts. As with other contemporary controversies, dissent pending receipt of evidence tends to be greeted by a storm of reproach that the individual who is unconvinced of the conventional explanation for these alleged graves is not only a ”grave-denier,” like someone who denies the overwhelmingly documented horrors of the Holocaust, but is also an anti-Indigenous racist and even a closet apologist for genocide against the native peoples of Canada.

She lied to get her twin daughters Inuit status and is about to be sentenced for fraud. Again.

Noah Noah says he has no positive memories of Karima Manji, the woman who used his mother, Kitty Noah, to obtain Inuit identities for her twin daughters so she could gain access to funds only available to Inuit beneficiaries.

“She was really awful,” Noah said of Manji during a CBC News interview in 2023 at his Iqaluit home.

A truly awful family who do not deserve to be in Canada.

Conservative surge combined with ballot confusion could crack a Liberal stronghold in Toronto byelection

Growing political discontent in a Liberal stronghold could lead to a Conservative breakthrough in an Ontario byelection that may put Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership to the test. On Monday, voters in the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s will head to the polls to elect a new member of Parliament.

It’s odd but the conservative candidate is wearing an invisibility cloak, few photos, has declined interviews etc.
