Ever since coming to power in 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have fervently believed their climate change and carbon tax policies would make the Conservatives unelectable, as long as Canada’s official opposition party refused to come up with its own plan.
More than a year after the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, the Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to view the Iran-backed Islamist movement as a legitimate partner.
Last week, representatives of the PA’s ruling Fatah faction (headed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas) and Hamas held talks in the Egyptian capital of Cairo to discuss establishing a joint administration to rule the Gaza Strip. An Egyptian source confirmed that the Fatah-Hamas discussions aim at to create a committee to manage the affairs of the Gaza Strip, in addition to pursuing efforts to reach a ceasefire there.
Ontario’s recently appointed minister responsible for dealing with the province’s auto theft crisis says the government is seeing early indications the number of vehicles being stolen is falling but instances of violent theft have dramatically increased.

Iraq is poised to slash the legal age of consent from 18 to to nine, allowing men to marry young children.
The proposed legal change also deprives women of rights to divorce, child custody and inheritance.
Iraq’s parliament, which is dominated by a coalition of conservative Shia Muslim parties, is preparing to vote through an amendment that would overturn the country’s “personal status law”.

On Tuesday, the night of the U.S. election, David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s chief political strategist through two campaigns, told CNN that the Democrats lost so badly because they had lost touch with ordinary people.
“We approach working-class voters as though we were missionaries. And our message to them is ‘We want to help you become just like us.’”

The Democrat Party lacked the support of a significant percentage of Gen Z women in the recent presidential election.
Forty percent of women under 30 years old voted for now President-Elect Donald Trump, the Daily Mail reported on Sunday, citing Associated Press (AP) exit polling.
The sand is kicking his ass.

TMU president says diversity targets for medical school were ‘aspirational,’ not a quota
Toronto Metropolitan University used “aspirational” words, but never had any equity quotas for admission to its new medical school, says president Mohamed Lachemi.
Lachemi told the Star on Friday that he wanted to clarify TMU’s expectations of the incoming medical class, after the provincial government and critics raised concerns about the potential for lowering standards.
Gee, he’s named Mohamed so you know you can trust him.
Five years removed from being fired for promoting poppies, Don Cherry still believes Canadians should wear a poppy for Remembrance Day.
Some things never change. Nor do some people.
A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President Trump, the agency’s leader said in a statement Saturday.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said. “This was reprehensible.”

A large majority of Canadians will be observing Remembrance Day this year, most by wearing a poppy, but Quebecers tend to be less likely to observe the national day of remembrance than Canadians in other provinces, says a new poll.
The Postmedia-Leger poll looked at Canadians’ pride in the military, treatment of veterans and Remembrance Day.
It’s pretty obvious Trudeau and his government despise Canada’s military and its history, they turned the armed forces into a haven for cross-dressers and racist DEI cranks.
The incels are in charge now
Well that didn’t take long, did it? As soon as it became clear that Donald Trump had won the election, social media saw a major spike in gleeful misogyny. And it seems Trump’s army of angry incels have found a favourite new catchphrase to taunt women with: “Your body, my choice.”
While the phrase has been kicking around in far-right circles for a few years, the notorious white supremacist Nick Fuentes has breathed new life into it. “Your body, my choice. Forever,” Fuentes tweeted late on Tuesday night, a few hours before Trump officially won. Shortly after that, he repeated the phrase in a live stream reacting to the results of the election, where he also said things like: “We control your bodies. Guess what, guys win again, okay. Men win again … There will never ever be a female President. It’s over. Glass ceiling? It’s a ceiling made of fucking bricks.”
