With the 2024 Presidential campaign in its final hours, attention among many Capitol Hill insiders is shifting to the battle for control of Congress. And if House investigators are successful in their investigations, Democrat fundraising website ACT BLUE may turn out to have been functioning as an illegal money-laundering operation for foreign campaign contributions.

There was a minor uproar in Manitoba recently when a speaker invited to discuss “settler colonialism” at a Winnipeg School Division event announced to the assembled crowd of educators that, “Resistance To Colonialism Is Not Terrorism.”
School board officials quickly and dutifully apologized for such an outrageous claim.

Republican lawmakers demand answers from the Pentagon after military service members complained that they have not received enough absentee ballots to vote before Election Day.
GOP Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL) sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin citing their “grave concern over deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols” for the U.S. military because they said the absentee ballot stockpile has been “depleted and had not been replenished.”

Only when he and his sycophants are tossed out of Ottawa will Canadians be able to rebuild what we’ve lost during his time in office
So, the current state of affairs in that Neverland called Ottawa is that a few nameless Liberal MPs wish Justin Trudeau would leave.
But he is a cagey one.
Fearing that this day would come sometime, he finished off that institution called the Liberal Party of Canada in favour of his progressive socialist party, leaving only the Liberal Caucus to oppose him – and they have no power.
The announcement of two additional charges against the Southport suspect was delayed by up to a fortnight amid growing fears of a fresh wave of public disorder, it can be disclosed.
The hold-up happened as the high-profile Chris Kaba murder case was winding up and there was a real possibility that firearms police officers across the country could put down their weapons in protest at the prospect of a colleague being convicted. Kaba, a 24-year-old black man, was shot and killed by an officer in Streatham, south London, in September 2022.
Ottawa under pressure to give more Lebanese a safe haven in Canada
Ottawa is facing calls to expand a temporary immigration program that gives people who have managed to escape Lebanon a safe haven in Canada, with MPs and immigration experts saying the measures are too limited and leave relatives of Canadians in peril.
Earlier this week, the federal government announced a program that will allow Lebanese nationals and their immediate families to extend their stay in Canada so they can avoid the fighting between Israel and Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah that has escalated over the past five weeks.
No thanks, cancel that order.
A 17-year-old boy killed in a police shooting in Aurora this week was “just a normal kid” who was kind and respectful to everyone, says a man who knew him as a volunteer at the local mosque.
The teen died in an “exchange of gunfire” with four York Regional Police (YRP) officers at about 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU).
Fellow Mohammedans say he was a lamp unto the world who died in an exchange of gunfire with police while found “breaking in” to his own home.
Do you know many upstanding teens who carry firearms?
CLOYNE, Ont.—The term “prepper” is not in every Canadian’s vocabulary. But when you pair it with “doomsday,” many people picture bomb shelters, canned goods, and post-apocalyptic fiction.
“I’m not a doomsday, apocalypse-type prepper,” said David Arama, as he sat in his lodge in Cloyne, a small village about three hours north of Toronto. A few paces away was the door to his concrete cellar stocked with food and water. He’s ready for almost anything, but not everything.

Marital status has become a proxy for political beliefs, cutting across other factors in party affiliation including age, gender and class.
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to be married, at 65% compared to 50%, according to a new research brief from the Institute for Family Studies. The trend has grown stronger since 2000, when there was roughly only a 10-percentage-point gap, despite a decline in marriage for members of both parties. Further, the majority of married adults report being “very happily” married, but Republicans have an 11-point advantage, at 65% compared to 54%.

Funny how all the celebrities who told you to wear a mask, stay at home & get vaccinated are the same ones now telling you to vote for Kamala Harris. pic.twitter.com/LMYmgMnX4x

If, after all the votes are counted, Donald Trump is declared the winner of next Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election, his supporters will correctly be able to say that American democracy has given their candidate the right to impose his agenda on the country. And then President Trump will set about destroying that very same democracy.
It would be within his elected mandate to do so, having effectively campaigned on a platform of turning the United States into an authoritarian state under his rule. Do the people who intend to vote for him understand that?
It appears they don’t, or if they do, they don’t care, or they care about other things more. The polls somehow have Mr. Trump in a dead heat with Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee. It is agonizing to watch.
The Globe has become unreadable in the past month. Advanced TDS is ugly to witness.
