Justin Trudeau Par-Tayed in Toronto while Montreal burned Friday night.
It was far too easy of a pun to play off of as videos posted to social media showed the Prime Minister dancing at the Rogers Centre with fellow Swifties during the fifth of six Taylor Swift concerts.
And many on social media have been doing just that.
The mainstream media won’t show you this…
Thousands gathered in Montreal today to chant for Israel’s demise, stomping on Israeli flags while carrying Russian flags, threaten a new Holocaust of Jews, throwing Hitler salutes and shout that NATO must be defeated

Just two weeks after the U.S. election, the false hysteria that had been widely generated about immediate abandonment of Ukraine by the incoming Trump administration because of the returning president’s supposed infatuation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has effectively evaporated. It was Trump who ignored the pacifistic havering of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and supplied pre-Zelenskyy Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank missiles to strengthen Ukraine’s resistance against Russian incursions. Trump has never for an instant failed to recognize that Russia must not be allowed to reoccupy Ukraine and his criticism of the Biden administration has not been its resistance to the Russian aggression but the failure to have any strategy to end the war satisfactorily and quickly. Trump’s views should not be confused with those of his quasi-followers who are now so suspicious of the Pentagon’s predilection for becoming involved in distant wars that they rail against the extent of American military assistance to Ukraine, even though at least 90 per cent of the cost of assistance is acquisitions from American defence suppliers.

Barely a week after he was announced as president-elect, Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. attorney general, MAGA firebrand Matt Gaetz has withdrawn himself from contention for the post. Officially, Gaetz said on X (formerly Twitter) that his “confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.” Unofficially, the New York Times reported that the votes in the Senate simply were not there: Republicans are set to hold a 53–47 Senate majority come January, but there were at least four implacable “no” votes from Republicans. Interestingly, one of the widely reported “no” votes, apparently, was outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, an inveterate MAGA foe.

IN AUGUST, the BBC published a news item about a Canadian worker killed by two polar bears.
The article claimed: ‘There are about 17,000 polar bears living in the country – making up around two-thirds of the global population of the species, according to the Canadian government. The species is in decline, and scientists attribute it to the loss of sea ice caused by global warming – leading to shrinking of their hunting and breeding grounds.’

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — A U.S. senator and supporter of Donald Trump said Friday the president-elect would laugh at Canada’s current military spending plans and said the country must do more.
Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch, ranking member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made the remarks at the start of the annual Halifax International Security Forum which attracts defense and security officials from Western democracies.
According to NATO figures, Canada was estimated to be spending 1.33% of GDP on its military budget in 2023, below the 2% target that NATO countries have set for themselves.

Republican Rep. Mike Turner, chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, claims Justin Trudeau – not Donald Trump – is the "greatest threat to NATO."

Lots of good sounding stuff
You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed.
This is what happens when a Prime Minister spends 9 years pushing toxic woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine status, religion, region, age, wealth, etc.

But I doubt he could win an election if he openly campaigned on the 1st 3 of the following suggestions.
Let me go on record. @PierrePoilievre will certainly make for a much better PM than Trudeau. But then again, this is a low bar to exceed. The four most important things that Pierre can do: 1) Deport all people who are a danger to Canada; 2) Stop immigration from countries… https://t.co/mSURGf2ekz

For decades, the brave people of Iran have arisen time and again, demanding a future free from oppression and authoritarian rule.
In recent years, Iranians have launched countless uprisings, each filled with hope and courage, only to be met with violent repression from the regime, and mainly indifference from abroad. Each wave of protests saw the regime’s security forces killing thousands of demonstrators, and imprisoning and torturing many more. These movements have shown the strength of the Iranian people’s resolve, but despite their cries for freedom, support from the West— usually merely vocal, about the ideals of democracy — has remained disappointingly muted.

At 5,525 miles, it is the longest border between any two countries. And that border — separating the United States and Canada — seems set to become a flashpoint between the close allies as President-elect Donald J. Trump prepares to take power.
The Canadian authorities fear that Mr. Trump’s promised mass deportations will push migrants north, while allies of the incoming president headed for key roles in his administration have raised alarms over a recent spike in undocumented migrants crossing from Canada to the United States.
Canadian officials are drawing up plans to add patrols, buy new vehicles and set up emergency reception facilities at the border between New York State and the province of Quebec to prepare for what they expect to be a surge in migrants because of Mr. Trump’s hard line on deportations.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has voiced her anxiety about upcoming German elections and noted that a strong performance by populist parties could have significant consequences for Europe.
“What happens in Germany in the next four years has a major impact on the next four years of the European Union,” Metsola said in comments to the Funke Media Group, a major publisher of German newspapers.
The far-right Alternative for Germany and the recently founded left-wing, anti-migrant Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) are expected to achieve historic results in the elections, which are expected to take place on February 23, 2025.

The explosion in refugee claims in Canada over the past few years is costing Canadian taxpayers billions in mostly unseen costs.
On Friday, CBC broke the news of the federal health program for refugees now costing $411 million per year, but that is just the tip of the iceberg shocking as it is.
This is one of the consequences of the “trophies-for-everyone” upbringing of the early 21st century.

In what we learned shortly thereafter was a selfish ploy to save their own behinds from possible scrutiny by a second Trump administration come January 20, the visit to Mar-a-Lago by MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-hosts and married couple Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to see President-Elect Trump has contributed to the Swamp insider-y show’s ratings cratering like it was hit by one of those Mother of All Bombs (MOAB).
