Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is already reshaping conservatism in the English-speaking world.
In the past month alone, Poilievre has been held up as an example for British Conservatives to follow in articles published in the Times and the Telegraph, two influential right-leaning British newspapers.
In an interview with the Times, British Tory leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick called Poilievre the “most apt lodestar” for his party in 2024.

Trudeau looks safe for now after key Canadian party refuses to topple him
OTTAWA, Oct 30 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looked to have secured his immediate political future on Wednesday when the leader of a smaller party dismissed efforts to bring down the minority Liberal government.
The Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois, the two largest opposition parties, aim to topple the unpopular Trudeau after nine years in power. To succeed, they need the support of the New Democrats, whose leader Jagmeet Singh said he had no interest in the idea.

Benjamin Franklin, an Englishman born in the colonial town of Boston in 1706 but who chose to separate himself from the rule of a tyrannical British government as one of our American Founding Fathers, once wrote that “People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.”
Franklin understood well the depth of the depravity that the government of his ancestors was capable of. Very little about its current manifestation would surprise him.
But the British tyranny of Franklin’s time was at least intended to serve the interests of the British people, however that might be interpreted. It’s far more difficult to make a case that this is still true.
The media world is in a fury: the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times recently announced that they would not endorse a presidential candidate. Editors and columnists at both papers have resigned in protest; readers have cancelled their subscriptions en masse. Why the outrage? Because everyone knew that those papers would have endorsed Kamala Harris. Why the certainty? Because the papers’ coverage of Donald Trump has been so unrelentingly negative. (The decision not to endorse was made by the papers’ owners: Jeff Bezos, in the case of the Post, and medical entrepreneur Patrick Soon-Shiong, in the case of the Times.)
Acknowledgment of that one-sidedness has been unapologetically frank.
It’s obvious why Justin Trudeau doesn’t want Liberal MPs to hold a secret-ballot vote on his leadership: He might not win.
There can be no other reason at this point, when Mr. Trudeau is deep into a third term, facing defeat in the Commons and contested within his own Liberal Party.
The Biden-Harris administration appears still obsessed with a supposed ceasefire and a Palestinian state.
President William Clinton, and, after him, President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State John Kerry also tried to create a Palestinian state. Now President Joe Biden with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan seem to be trying to do it again.
During the fall presidential campaign, a Media Research Center study found that hosts of the late-night “comedy” shows told a total of 1,463 jokes about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris — but 1,428 of them were about Trump, and only 35 were about Harris. That’s a whopping 40:1 ratio or almost 98 percent to 2 percent.
Canada’s former ambassador to Israel says Canada should recognize the existence of a Palestinian state now as a way to forge a path to peace in the region.
“Recognition of a Palestinian state is not about peace in the region today, or even tomorrow. Few people in Israel or Palestine can focus on two states right now,” said Jon Allen.
“Recognizing a Palestinian state now is about sending a message of hope and commitment to Palestinians and sending a clear message to Israel and others that simply managing the conflict, Israel’s policy for the last 17 years, is not an option and never was.”
Hasn’t that not worked yet?
Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly “kept meticulous records” of his infamous parties, and “has enough dirt to hang half of Hollywood,” according to a source, who added that well-known celebrities are panicking while they “pray he keeps his mouth shut.”
The disgraced music mogul’s ex-girlfriends — including singer Jennifer Lopez and actress Cameron Diaz — are in a major panic that he will drag them down by revealing unsavory secrets about them if he ends up going away to prison, a source told In Touch Weekly.
Spill Diddy Spill.
The Liberals are playing wedge politics again. They’ve released yet another in a long line of official attempts-to-save-their-arse announcements. This time, they’re letting Canadians know that they’ve had enough of pregnancy counselling centres that provide information about abortion — regardless of their faith — but do not offer referrals for the procedure or disclose that fact. No more charitable tax status for you!, the Liberals announced. Unless these clinics give in and go against their religious beliefs, or advertise openly that they won’t.
Things are looking really good for Donald Trump based on the polls. He’s leading in the RealClearPolitics polling averages nationally and in the battleground states. That’s a good position to be in, and many Trump supporters believe that he’ll perform even stronger because pollsters have proven to not be great at capturing his supporters in their surveys.
Sound advice but …
Early votes in Pennsylvania now show Republicans doing 435k better than Democrats vs the same date in 2020. Biden’s margin of victory was only 80k in 2020.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national-security and intelligence adviser has confirmed she leaked sensitive information about the Indian government’s role in murder, extortion and coercion to The Washington Post that was not shared with the Canadian public.
But Nathalie Drouin told the Commons public safety committee Tuesday that Mr. Trudeau did not authorize the leak and insisted no classified intelligence was provided to the U.S. publication the day before Ottawa expelled six Indian diplomats on Thanksgiving Day.
Zero repercussions as usual. Would anyone care if Modi kidnapped Junior?
WTF?
