These Democrats believe Kamala won the election – in an alternate universe

It’s 4am on election night and things are not looking good for Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump has already won the key swing states of Georgia and Wisconsin and is well on his way to seizing Pennsylvania, at which point the election will be called in his favour.

But all might not be as it seems. According to a growing number of spiritually-inclined Democrat supporters, 4am on Nov 6 2024 is the moment the universe “split”, leaving us on an alternate timeline where Mr Trump is president.

Half of Canadians would volunteer to fight if war breaks out … maybe

Dad’s Army – and Canada’s

As Canada ramps up defence spending in an effort to meet its NATO commitments, a pollster suggests the military may struggle to find the people it needs. According to a new Angus Reid Institute poll, just under half of Canadians say they’d be willing to serve if war broke out, and younger adults were the least likely to say they would volunteer.

The poll results are far less encouraging than the article implies.

Frostbite and fear: Inside a journey into Canada with human smugglers

Chidi Nwagbo says he made a “stupid” decision paying human smugglers to get him into Canada that left him permanently scarred and in the hands of the very U.S. immigration authorities he was trying to flee.

The 57-year-old says he paid $2,000 US in cash to a human smuggling organization in New Jersey to escape the immigration raids sweeping the U.S. He says the smugglers lied to him about the dangers of the journey that almost killed him along the borderlands between New York State and Quebec in February of this year.

“If I had known that this would have been the outcome, I don’t think I would have done it,” said Nwagbo in a phone interview with CBC News from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre in Batavia, N.Y.

In the US since the 80’s never applied for citizenship. Seems Legit.

Federal report warns of rise in antisemitic incidents against children in schools

A six-year-old child’s teacher told her she was “half human” because one of her parents was Jewish – one of nearly 800 antisemitic incidents in the Ontario elementary and high school system since 2023 reported to a federally commissioned survey.

Others included a 13-year-old girl being swarmed several times a day by classmates who raised their hands in a Nazi salute even as she begged them to stop, and Jewish children told by their teachers they were baby-killers for supporting Israel in its war with the militant group Hamas.

Russia’s agents killed after intelligence officer shot dead, says Ukraine

Ukraine said two agents working for Russia have been killed after a senior Ukrainian intelligence officer was shot dead on Thursday.

The head of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), Vasyl Malyuk, said in a video statement that two agents working for Russia’s security service FSB had been tracked down and “liquidated” after they resisted arrest on Sunday morning.

It comes after Col Ivan Voronych was shot several times in a Kyiv car park in broad daylight, after being approached by an unidentified assailant who fled the scene.

‘It feels like there’s no hope’: Many homeless don’t want a home. What now?

Brent Secondiak served as a front-line cop in the southern Alberta city of Medicine Hat for 25 years, and understands the futility of dismantling homeless encampments and otherwise dislodging itinerants who decide to bunk down in public spaces.

“We used to call it leaf-blowing … you just scatter the leaves, and the leaves end up somewhere else,” he says.

MBE for man who led Muslim police boycott after grooming scandal

A man who led a Muslim community boycott of South Yorkshire police after the Rotherham grooming scandal has been awarded an MBE for “services to integration” and “cohesion”.

Muhbeen Hussain called on Muslims to sever ties with the force and “take all the necessary action to protect ourselves” in October 2015, the year after the force’s failure to investigate thousands of allegations of abuse and rape had been exposed.

His campaign group warned: “Any Muslim groups or institutions in Rotherham that do not adhere to this policy of disengagement will also be boycotted by the Muslim community.”

Now that’s suicidal.

OFF THE RAILS: Data exposes crime, mental illness at TTC’s track level

A person is taken into custody under the Mental Health Act once every four times a TTC constable reports to the subway tracks, a Toronto Sun analysis shows.

The TTC has also confirmed the number of such events each year has grown from pre-pandemic figures.

A database of “unauthorized track-level” events that involved a special constable, covering the time from January 2020 to April, was provided to the Toronto Sun after a freedom-of-information request. Some incidents also involved Toronto Police.

A German comedian will appear in court after he was charged for making a joke about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump last year.

Sebastian Hotz could face up to three years in prison for comparing the attempted shooting of the US president at an election campaign rally in 2024 to trying to catch the last bus.

“You sadly just missed it,” he wrote shortly after the shooting on July 13.

GIESBRECHT: Why Canadians pay $500 a year protecting millionaire farmers

‘Supply management props up 10,000 millionaire farmers at everyone else’s expense. Trump sees through it. Why can’t our leaders?’

The average Canadian family spends $500 per year to subsidize the 10,000 or so dairy farmers — most of whom are millionaires — who make up a dairy lobby that has had a stranglehold on Canadian politics for a generation. Unlike a tax, that $500 doesn’t go towards maintaining roads, or equipping the army. It mainly goes into the pockets of those producers.

Let me say at the outset that I’m not intending to disrespect our dairy farmers. They are conscientious, hard working people who have built their farms under the system as they found it.

Inside the Congolese mine vital to mobile phones

M23 rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo recently allowed the BBC to visit a huge mining site under their control which is vital to the production of the world’s mobile phones – and over its vast expanse not one person was idle.

Thousands of miners dotted the landscape covered with pits and tunnels.

Some were deep underground digging up ore with shovels, others then hoisted sacks of the extracted rock containing coltan, which is used to make many electronic devices, on to their shoulders. They then took it to assembly points where others washed and filtered it with spades and by hand.
