A Liberal MP who has called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign says the “vast majority” of caucus colleagues he’s spoken to feel the same way.
Trudeau’s leadership has been on shaky ground for months, but it became more unstable Monday after his longtime ally Chrystia Freeland resigned from cabinet, throwing the government into chaos.
Following the events that led to the Syrian government falling, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) accused the Biden government of facilitating the regime change in Syria that led to rebels storming the capital of Damascus and overthrowing dictator Bashar Assad’s regime.

A historically difficult week for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government ended with a renewed push from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to topple this government – this time in the form a letter to the Governor General.
In a Friday afternoon press conference, Poilievre told reporters he was writing to Gov. Gen. Mary Simon, “asking her to reconvene Parliament and require a non-confidence vote.”

Who do you think the next Liberal leader will most emulate — Pierre Trudeau, Paul Martin or Kim Campbell?
Assuming the suddenly invisible Justin Trudeau uses his Christmas break to shelter in place and finally decides to step down, do you think the Liberal who replaces him as party head will (a) revive the party and win it a majority? (b) save at least a minority or (c) suffer an electoral thumping of record proportions?

Friday’s attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg has so far left five dead, hundreds injured, and the script for the country’s February snap election in tatters.
The suspected perpetrator, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi-Arabia who sought asylum in Germany and has lived there for two decades, was arrested at the scene. As a consequence, a historically short election campaign season will be centred largely around migration. On social media, a debate is already raging as to whether the attack should be treated as a further example of migrant violence or a far-Right hate crime.
A Guatemalan migrant has been arrested for allegedly lighting a sleeping subway rider on fire in Brooklyn on Sunday morning — then watching as his innocent victim burned to death in what the police commissioner called “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit.”

As 2024 comes to a close, I’ve thought a lot over the past year about another year: 1984. Yes, 1984.
What had me thinking were two recent political events felt keenly by readers of The American Spectator and any American focused on the political scene this election year.
3 more sleeps till Christmas! I made cranberry sauce this evening, tried a mix of brown and demerara sugar with some cinnamon and oh yea cranberries. Still warm as I write but tasty.

The movie “The Matrix” gave us the “red pill” and the “blue pill.” The red wakes you up to reality; the blue keeps you indoctrinated.
Internet culture then invented a black pill. Those who take it think the world is doomed.
So, podcaster Michael Malice wrote the book “The White Pill,” calling it a “symbol of hope.”
A Jewish group, supported by dozens of academics and former government officials, is appealing Library and Archives Canada’s decision to keep secret information on suspected Nazis who settled in Canada after the Second World War.
Library and Archives Canada made the controversial decision in November to continue to withhold the list that had been requested by B’nai Brith Canada and others using the federal government’s Access to information law.

Finally. For Americans wondering when the media will finally admit President Joe Biden is, in the words of Fox’s Sean Hannity, “a cognitive mess,”, light dawns.
The Prime Minister has no immediate plans to step down over the Christmas holidays despite mounting calls for him to quit, and Chrystia Freeland is considering a leadership bid that is being spurred on by Liberals who believe she is a strong contender should Justin Trudeau resign.
A Liberal insider said the Prime Minister continues to reflect on whether to stay or leave and will spend Christmas in Ottawa and then take a skiing vacation with his family in British Columbia.
