An NDP insider says New Democrats were surprised by the Liberals’ loss in the recent Toronto byelection — and now see the governing party’s weakness as an opportunity.
Anne McGrath, principal secretary to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in the House of Commons, told CBC News the party thought the outcome of the Toronto St Paul’s byelection would be close but not a Conservative upset.
The NDP lost vote share in the St. Paul’s byelection.
In February, Patrice Motz, a veteran Spanish teacher at Great Valley Middle School in Malvern, Pa., was warned by another teacher that trouble was brewing.
Some eighth graders at her public school had set up fake TikTok accounts impersonating teachers. Ms. Motz, who had never used TikTok, created an account.
Country singer Dolly Parton has been branded as ‘racist, sexist and homophobic’ after she recommended a children’s book that a woke academic declared to be pushing ‘white western values’.
The artist and philanthropist offered the book, Llama Llama Red Pajama, as part of the library of free titles her club periodically mails out to children up to the age of five in an effort to promote literacy.
But now a misguided academic at the University of North Carolina has performed a critical analysis of the choices promoted by the 78-year-old Parton and deemed the Llama book in particular to be ‘racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, and ableist biases.’

‘Dead to me’: Alberta transgender teen takes action after being deadnamed in yearbook
Remi Laboucane says memories of being bullied were finally fading, memories so awful he switched schools.
He was graduating from high school this summer, ready for life’s next chapter, when he opened his yearbook to see that he and other transgender students at Foothills Composite High School in Okotoks, Alta., had been deadnamed.
“It was just a nightmare,” the 18-year-old said in an interview.

Board director of organization that will help decide how Google’s $100M is distributed regrets her anti-Israel retweets
After Google picked an organization to help decide how $100 million in funds will be distributed among Canadian news outlets, the organization’s independent board director recently expressed regret over sharing apparently antisemitic posts online in a statement to the National Post.
“I acknowledge that some of the content I reshared on social media adds to the pain of Jewish communities and I apologize for that unreservedly,” said Sadia Zaman. She was appointed independent board director of the Canadian Journalism Collective (CJC) earlier in June to distribute $100 million annually to Canadian journalism organizations.
Regrets? I bet.
Temporary residents and recent immigrants are driving up Canada’s unemployment rate, as record numbers of newcomers welcomed to the country to fill labor shortages are now struggling to find work.

Immigrants who’ve landed in the last five years are also having a hard time finding a job, with their unemployment rate reaching 12.6% in June.

A federal document reveals no evidence that a $30 billion national daycare program has led to an increase in mothers joining the workforce, contradicting statements made by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the Department of Social Development’s briefing note challenges Freeland’s assertions that the program has boosted the economy by increasing workforce participation among mothers.

Tracy Polewczuk has spina bifida, a birth defect that can cause weak bones. Two years ago, she was in an accident and broke her leg. The injury never properly healed.
She says she lives in constant pain and relies on daily home care visits from the Pointe-Claire CLSC, but recently, she says the care has been getting worse.
“They don’t bother asking like they know your name, but they don’t address you. It’s just so impersonal, and they don’t care,” Polewczuk said in a recent interview. “You get up when they tell you to. You go to bed when they tell you. You do what they tell you to. That’s it. You have zero control over your life.”

He’s incoherent again in the Stephanopoulos interview.
This clears a lot up. He was sick and tired, no one’s fault but his.
