Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Canada’s premiers to match his pledge to remove the federal sales tax on new homes under $1 million by doing the same with provincial sales taxes.
“This is a significant step in fixing what has been broken and making home ownership more than just a dream for young Canadians again,” Poilievre said in the letter to all provincial and territorial premiers, which was shared with CBC News.
“But there’s more that can be done, and you can help.”
With just one day to go, the race for the White House is deadlocked – both at the national level and in the all-important battleground states.
The polls are so close, within the margin of error, that either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris could actually be two or three points better off – enough to win comfortably.
There is a compelling case to make for why each may have the edge when it comes to building a coalition of voters in the right places, and then ensuring they actually turn out.
This will come as a surprise to absolutely no one, including his boosters. @fancypants_s https://t.co/MaI7shCFNW

Just a few days from now, while two major nuclear powers wage war in Europe and the Middle East and a third threatens war in Asia, the world’s strongest democracy may elect to become a fascist state. Many people recognize that this is a dangerous time for the world; many others understand that Donald Trump is a dangerous man for the United States. And yet: Even among those who know that the world at present and Trump as president are each singularly dangerous — that there has been no time on earth so precarious since WWII, and no president so pathological as Trump, ever — there are still some who claim that Trump will not make the world a more dangerous place.

It went as well as you might think.

Throughout history, many people have claimed to have the power to see the future, offering a vision of what awaits humanity. Among these, Baba Vanga, a blind Bulgarian mystic, stands out due to her many prophecies that captured public attention.
Her predictions, which continue to spark interest and debate, have left many pondering their meanings, particularly as the world nears years she described as pivotal.

3 arrested and charged after protest at Brampton Hindu temple, police say
Peel Regional Police say they have charged three people following a protest outside a Hindu temple in Brampton on Sunday that was widely condemned by political leaders at all levels of government.
Police did not elaborate on the nature of the charges or the accused in a brief statement posted to X, formerly Twitter, in the early morning hours Monday.
They added, however, that they are continuing to investigate “several acts of unlawfulness” and that more information could be forthcoming.

Who would have believed when Ukraine was invaded that, almost three years on, North Korean troops would be fighting on European soil? Yet, here we are, with Pjongjang now a full-fledged participant in Russia’s war, largely thanks to the West’s failure to deter. The US now estimates that 10,000 North Korean troops are stationed in Russia and 8,000 of those forces will be imminently deployed to the battlefront. After meeting with her Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Friday, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui vowed to “stand alongside our Russian comrades” until Russia’s “day of victory” in Ukraine.

BoC report shows resistance to digital currency among Canadians
A significant number of Canadians would likely reject the introduction of a digital Canadian dollar, according to a recent report from the Bank of Canada.
Blacklock’s Reporter says many citizens, particularly older Canadians and those wary of digital technology, expressed concerns about privacy, security, and government overreach, which they felt could be tied to the launch of a digital currency.

Boy. I sure hope this never happens to Trudeau.
OTTAWA — Word came unexpectedly in January 2017 that President Donald Trump wanted to talk to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Officials scrambled to connect the two leaders and racked their brains: what urgent matter had they not foreseen?
I doubt Trump will much care knowing Junior is on the way out.
There are two good reasons why Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are once again accusing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives of wanting to take away abortion rights. First, the Liberals are desperate. Second, as a political ploy, it works.
The federal government announced this week that new legislation will require pregnancy counselling centres, many of which are faith-based, to tell patients up front whether they provide access to abortion and birth-control services. Those that do not provide that information could lose their charitable status.
