John Ivison: A warning for Trudeau from a Liberal who knows what demise looks like

With impeccable timing, former New Brunswick premier, Frank McKenna has just reflected on his time in office.

McKenna resigned 10 years to the day after first winning power in 1987.

“I knew that increasingly I was becoming less collaborative, that all the forces coming at you make you retrench and rely on a very small circle of advisers,” he told the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal’s Adam Huras this week. “I knew that was happening to me. I didn’t feel unloved. I just felt personally that I was not quite the same person that started that journey.”

Attempts to put Trudeau leadership question to rest only making caucus tensions worse, MP says

One of the Liberal MPs calling for a secret ballot vote on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership says efforts by cabinet to put the issue to rest may only be increasing tensions in caucus.

In the wake of last week’s Liberal caucus meeting, Trudeau has said repeatedly he’s not going anywhere — even after 24 of his own MPs signed a document calling on him to resign.

Several cabinet ministers have been vocal in their support of the prime minister and have insisted that a majority of MPs are still behind him.

Gunman who shot Jewish man near Chicago synagogue is illegal migrant who targeted victim in antisemitic attack: sources

The gunman who opened fire on a Jewish man walking to synagogue in Chicago is an illegal migrant from West Africa who was released into the US last year — and he targeted the victim because of his faith, law enforcement sources tell The Post.

Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22 — who hails from Mauritania — crossed into San Diego in March 2023 and was screened by border agents, who quickly released him into the US, officials said.

Federal investigators believe Abdallahi was specifically targeting Jews in an antisemitic attack when he ambushed a 39-year-old Orthodox Jewish man in the city’s West Ridge neighborhood — which is home to several synagogues, sources said.

I hope Trump freezes all immigration from Islamist states.

Nine heists. Thousands of dollars in stolen product. The slippery mystery of Ontario’s butter bandits

The heist did not happen in the dead of night, but in the fluorescent glow of supermarket lights.

The two men entered the FreshCo separately, each wearing baseball caps, one with a dark winter coat. They met inside, grabbed a cart and rolled it to the dairy section. It was butter they were after — three cases of it, worth $936. Satisfied, the men left through a receiving door in the FreshCo’s shipping area and fled into the Guelph night.

Is this some weird sex thing?

How the Southport terror charge is undermining trust in the police

Axel Rudakubana muslim terrorist

On July 29, three girls went to a Taylor Swift party at a studio in Southport, Merseyside and did not return. It was meant to be a treat for the summer holidays: two hours of yoga and dancing along to some of their favourite music. Instead, they were stabbed to death, during a frenzied knife attack in the rooms where they had been playing. Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died at the scene. Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, died in hospital the following day. Eight other children were injured in the attack, as well as two teachers.

Poor, depressed or lonely in Canada? Why not let us kill you

The Trudeau government has given the world a textbook on what not to do

With the prospect of assisted dying being legalised in the UK, the Canadian experience serves as a cautionary tale of what can go horribly wrong.

In 2015, Canada’s Supreme Court ruled that it is a fundamental right of Canadians who suffer from a “grievous and irremediable” medical condition to be assisted to kill themselves. The Court dismissed as fallacy warnings of a “slippery slope” leading to the devaluing of human life and potential harms to vulnerable persons. The Court reasoned that vulnerable persons could be protected though “stringent and well-enforced safeguards.”

Liberal Party preparing to launch ad campaign to take on high-flying Poilievre

The Liberal Party is preparing to launch an ad campaign to fight back against the high-flying Conservatives and close a polling gap that suggests it’s on track to lose big if an election is called soon.

Liberal MPs heard today from Andrew Bevan, the party’s recently appointed campaign director, about what the party has planned to try and claw its way back into contention.

Bevan presented some planned Liberal advertising spots to MPs and explained the party’s vision for the next election campaign, whenever it comes, Liberal sources told CBC News.
