For the past year, Justin Trudeau has been foolishly attacking Donald Trump in an attempt to link Trump to Trudeau’s main rival Pierre Poilievre. It’s been a ridiculous campaign that has seen the Liberals invoke MAGA — Make America Great Again — more than 100 times in the last year during their attacks on Poilievre.
Remembrance Day should be “decolonised”, campaigners say as they call for an end to “nationalist narratives” that “whitewash” and “glorify” the British Empire.
Ceremonies to commemorate members of the Armed Forces who have fallen in service “gloss over the history and violence of colonialism”, according to the Peace Pledge Union (PPU).
One in four parents report eating less so their children can have food, according to a report from The Salvation Army.
The report, 2024 Canadian Poverty and Socioeconomic Analysis, looks at Canadian’s behaviours and attitudes on issues such as housing, food, health care, and affordability from year to year.
In 2024, it found that Canadian parents are shouldering most of the burden of rising costs when it comes to food and housing.
There are only two days remaining until November 11th. Why is this important day of solemn remembrance in danger of irrelevance in Canada?
Of course this premise stems from Friday’s news that in Halifax Sackville Heights Elementary, sent a notice to families asking veterans and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces to abstain from wearing their uniform if they planned to attend the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony.
Representative Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) suggested Vice President Kamala Harris lost the general election this week due to President Joe Biden’s late exit from the presidential race and bemoaned the lack of an open primary.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” the former House speaker said in a post-election interview with the New York Times‘ Lulu Garcia-Navarro on Thursday. “Kamala, I think, still would have won, but she may have been stronger, having taken her case to the public sooner.”
Twenty years ago this month, a Dutch Islamist named Mohamed Bouyeri slaughtered filmmaker and prominent Islam critic Theo van Gogh on the streets of Amsterdam. The second-generation Dutch-born Moroccan shot the older provocateur several times, then slit his throat. Bouyeri, now serving a life sentence, said he did it for Allah. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Muslim apostate and friend of Van Gogh’s, had to go into hiding for her life after Bouyeri threatened to kill her too.
If you publicly criticized Islam, it wasn’t safe for you to walk on the streets of Amsterdam in 2004. Things have changed since then. As we saw on Thursday night, now all it takes to get you ambushed by violent Muslims in Amsterdam is to be a fan of an Israeli football team. Well, the Netherlands always has prided itself on ‘progress.’
Journalists seem poised to learn all the wrong lessons from Donald Trump’s victory this week, repeating a pattern they’ve been unable to shake since the frenzied days of 2016. A moment from CNN’s “Inside Politics” on Thursday is especially instructive — and an ominous portent of the media’s ability to recapture influence.
No self awareness! @lbarronlopez, a correspondent for PBS, while on CNN, blamed Kamala Harris loss on how “there is an entire right wing media ecosystem that doesn’t exist on the left and it does not exist in the center or mainstream.” pic.twitter.com/QKPjTGHhvO

Laura Barrón-López is the White House correspondent at PBS News and a political analyst at CNN. On a panel with Dana Bash and John King — the network’s chief political and chief national correspondent respectively — Barrón-López made a claim so objectively false is almost defies believability. Bash and King, of course, found it deeply compelling.
“Implicit bias” is catchphrase made largely from claims that the Implicit Association Test, or IAT, can measure people’s unconscious prejudice toward another race, the other sex, or any topic of interest. The IAT was developed at Harvard University. Amazingly, the majority of white Americans who have taken the IAT have been classified as anti-black. Does this make sense?
Let the rending of garments (and the finger-pointing) begin.
The Trump election landslide this week, including the capture of the Senate and House, means a new morning in America. For Democrats, though, it’s just mourning in America.
Donald Trump’s 312-226 electoral vote wipeout dealt a soul-crushing blow to the Party of Joy. But this time, the Democrats can’t even fault the electoral college system that frustrates their power-grabbing ambitions, because Trump handily won the popular vote as well, by nearly 5 million votes. The Democrats have nothing left to blame but each other – and the finger-pointing recriminations started almost immediately as the Trump victory began to look inevitable.
It’s been a rough few days for the leftist media elites, they have been in anguish ever since Election Day.
The mix of anger and sadness poured out as they called the massive win for Donald Trump and the GOP a “nightmare” and questioned if America had “given up on democracy.” Journalists like Stephanie Ruhle warned that the voters had just “f’d around” and were about to “find out.”
CNN, MSNBC and The View all calling for online censorship as they lose control.
Watch til the end.

Today, a large part of the Amsterdam police force is made up of second-generation migrants from North Africa and the Middle East. They do not care about Jews’ safety. And it will be that way all over Europe.
I’ve written about it so much that the crazy scenes in Amsterdam felt like déjà vu.
In Amsterdam we have seen scenes that should shock Europe forever: hundreds of Jews were hunted down and beaten by the Muslim crowd after a soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax. Whether it was a spontaneous explosion or an organized attack, the latter being the most likely, Israelis were injured and Israel was sending emergency flights on Shabbat to evacuate its citizens.
Say it again: Israel was sending emergency flights on Shabbat to evacuate its citizens. Not from Yemen or Syria or Iran or Kabul. No, from Amsterdam.
Chinese-manufactured solar panels continue to enter Canada despite links to forced labour practices, according to recent Federal Court filings.
Blacklock’s Reporter says this comes just five months after Canada passed legislation requiring importers to ensure goods are not produced with slave labour.
Democrats, progressive lefties and feminists are stunned that a female presidential candidate has been rejected by women in favour of someone widely seen by them as a deplorable misogynist.
But why the shock? If women continually see their rights eroded by the very people that should be upholding and supporting them, then obviously they are going to rebel.
WTF?

President-elect Donald Trump made history this week after pulling off one the biggest political comebacks, as well a big congratulations to Republicans gaining the Senate and presumably the House.
As to no surprise, Democrats are furious. Not only did Trump win the election, but he gained momentum in every single group and demographic while Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t even come close.
.@katieporteroc says after Trump won, her 12 year old daughter was in tears.
"She said, 'Trump is going to win. What if I get raped and need to have an abortion?'"
Porter says "its a reminder how scary this time is for people and how important it is for Democrats to have… pic.twitter.com/o6eYRgDWh2

Donald Trump’s victory has produced two types of Canadians — those who hope nothing like that happens here, and those who believe this country could use a bit more of the politics that vaulted Trump back into power.
I am, no surprise, firmly of the first view, among the majority of Canadians who would rather Americans keep their Trump-style politics to themselves. But in recent weeks, we’ve seen at least a couple of polls showing that support for Trump in Canada is up from where it was eight years ago, especially among those who lean Conservative.
