Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined other political leaders and diplomats in praising — and reflecting on — Joe Biden’s legacy, as Ottawa prepares to work with whomever Americans vote for as their next president this fall.
Biden announced on Sunday he is abruptly ending his presidential re-election campaign.

Obama – did not endorse Kamala – My Statement on President Biden’s Announcement
Kamala Harris after Biden drops out: ‘My intention is to earn and win this nomination’
Joe Biden announced he would not stay in the 2024 presidential race, throwing his supporting behind his vice-president, Kamala Harris.
In his letter, Biden called Harris an “extraordinary partner” and said choosing her to serve as vice-president was “the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”
In a statement on Twitter/X, Harris said: “I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.
Oh look PM arse licker weighed in …
I’ve known President Biden for years. He’s a great man, and everything he does is guided by his love for his country. As President, he is a partner to Canadians — and a true friend.

Last May, it was looking likely that Donald Trump was poised to win the presidential election this fall. After June’s debate exposed President Joe Biden as a dotard with advanced cognitive decline, Trump’s electoral victory was all but assured. With the failed assassination attempt on Trump last weekend, Trump’s victory is now virtually inevitable assuming some lunatic doesn’t manage to kill him before this fall.
There is an addendum to the Democrats’ ‘we only like you when you’re dead’ rule. Let’s call it the Biden Collaroy because after subjecting this man to the proverbial death by a thousand cuts, plus stabbing him like Caesar, politically speaking, and then driving him over with a tank, the president finally called it quit. With fundraising stagnant, Hill Democrats in revolt, and top Democrats working behind the scenes to derail him while recovering from COVID, Joey decided to throw in the towel.
A third of Democratic voters I surveyed in a snap poll on 18 July openly agreed with the statement “I wish Trump’s assassin hadn’t missed.” Looking beneath the numbers, the new moral absolutism of the progressive Left picks out which Democrats support assassination and which do not.
The concerning news is that a third of Democrats support the attempt on Donald Trump’s life. The good news is that the other two-thirds of party voters really do disagree. I used a concealed technique called a list experiment which found that even when they could disguise their true sentiment, a solid seven in 10 Democrats were pleased the assassin missed.
Joe Biden’s not-surprising decision to withdraw from the 2024 Presidential Campaign has left the Democrats in a pickle. Democrat Party rules require the convention to proceed as planned. Depending upon the state, Biden’s committed delegates may be required to vote for him on one or more ballots. There will be the chance for all kinds of shenanigans, which would have been impossible if Biden had waited until after the convention to withdraw. Making it all the more fun is that the shenanigans will be public, and the butthurt among the losers will be epic.
The sudden withdrawal of US President Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race has left the Democratic Party scrambling to regain its footing. In an interview with The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman predicted a significant shift of American Jewish voters towards the Republican Party and Donald Trump due to Kamala Harris’s ascension as the Democratic candidate.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate change policies could be thrown into chaos if former president Donald Trump wins the U.S. election on Nov. 5 and makes good on two things he promised in his speech to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week.

Marquita Berry remembers hearing music playing softly as she walked into her son’s bedroom last October.
She found him sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, leaning forward, with one earbud resting on his shoulder.
“I reached out to touch him, and I could tell that he was no longer….” Ms. Berry said, her voice trailing off.
J.D. Vance’s speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was as comforting and familiar as chicken soup for many Canadians.
Donald Trump’s new running mate touched on many of the same notes that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been hitting: championing the working class, domestic production and legal immigration; maligning elites, wasteful spending, unaffordable housing and unfair Chinese trading practices.
If Canada was a deserving ally under the Liberals why did Trudeau send Joly to kiss China’s ass?
Not long ago, Democrats dreamt of replacing Kamala Harris; now they dream of replacing Biden. Ah, “such stuff as dreams are made on.” Wakeful reality tells us that Biden and Harris help keep each other in place, just as Democrats’ weaknesses put both there in the first place.
Four years ago, Joe Biden was put atop the Democrat ticket because the party’s top presidential contenders (and really the party itself) were too far-left. So, they plucked from their history the only non-extreme leftist they had.
The most striking thing about walking the floor of the Republican National Convention (RNC) is seeing just how much this is Donald Trump’s party.
You can read about how that’s the case, you can listen to pundits say it — but to see it up close is something different. There is no ideology the 56,000 people here subscribe to, they don’t even describe themselves as conservatives.
They are “patriots,” they tell me at length — and they are convinced Donald Trump is the sole politician who is willing to “fight” for them. That’s the exact language they use over and over again when you ask why they’re at the RNC; why they support Trump — he is the guy who will “fight for us,” is what they tell me over and over again.
Our media reserves its adulation for Justin Trudeau because President Trump is icky and his followers are ickier.
Israel’s parliament has voted in favour of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, in a sharp rebuff to mounting US and Arab pressure.
The vote on Wednesday came a week before Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will visit Washington, where he is due to address Congress. Democratic lawmakers sitting in the US legislative body have been critical of Israel over the war in Gaza.
Joe ain’t in charge of nuttin.
Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.
They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

In the last few weeks, there has been a surge in the number of Americans searching online about moving to Canada and recent political events appear to have been a major catalyst.
But will they follow through?
Immigration lawyers say it’s a difficult question to answer, but they are already starting to see an uptick in U.S. citizens contacting their offices for help.
