THOMSON: Liberal dissidents blinked, as we knew they would
For days now Canada’s political commentariat have been writing feverishly about the drama surrounding this weeks failed Liberal caucus revolt. The general consensus attributes the botched coup to the Liberal party constitution which robs caucus of the power to force their leader to resign.
But what they lacked wasn’t power, it was conviction and courage.
WTF?

Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.

Tens of thousands of taxpayer accounts hacked as CRA repeatedly paid out millions in bogus refunds
At the height of this year’s tax season, the Canada Revenue Agency discovered that hackers had obtained confidential data used by one of the country’s largest tax preparation firms, H&R Block Canada.
Imposters used the company’s confidential credentials to get unauthorized access into hundreds of Canadians’ personal CRA accounts, change direct deposit information, submit false returns and pocket more than $6 million in bogus refunds from the public purse, an investigation by CBC’s The Fifth Estate and Radio-Canada has found.
… In the end, the public was never alerted to the scheme.
… In a statement, H&R Block said there is no evidence the breach came from it.

Small midwestern town ‘overwhelmed’ by 3,000 African migrants living tax-free
A tiny Ohio town is wrangling with a sudden influx of African refugees whose arrival has almost doubled the population over the past year.
Close to Cincinnati, Lockland was home to 3,500 people in 2023, but local officials say it has since taken in more than 3,000 legal Mauritanian asylum seekers.
‘If you look at 2021, 2022, the United States had seen a huge influx of immigrants from Mauritania,’ Lockland Village Administrator Doug Wehmeyer told Fox News Digital.

Star Staff Suffers Mass Hysteria: “Trump’s popularity has risen among Canada’s Conservatives. When should we start to worry?”
In 2016, Donald Trump was unpopular almost everywhere in Canada. A Mainstreet poll showed a 15 per cent approval rating overall; Abacus showed him losing 80-20 to Hillary Clinton and 82-18 to Bernie Sanders. Predictably, the strongest support for Trump came among Conservative party voters: 39 per cent.
Which was high, but we were all younger then. If you were only half-paying attention, Trump was still a novelty figure: clearly racist, sexist, shallow, narcissistic and all that, but entertaining if you had a certain world view. He wasn’t someone you’d trust with your luggage, much less nukes. But back then some could perhaps argue, how bad could it be?
Here’s a lady talkin bout all them TrumpHitlers at the NYC rally last night!

Kamala Harris has admitted her biggest weakness — and it sums up why voters are turning away
At a town hall event this week, Kamala Harris was asked a simple question which laid bare why she is struggling to win over undecided voters: “What weaknesses do you bring to the table?”
Joe Donahue, a retail worker, asked the presidential candidate the fateful question at the CNN event on Wednesday, followed up with: “And how do you plan to overcome them?”
Ms Harris, who will become the most powerful person in the world if she wins the presidential election in just over a week, floundered before confessing that she struggled to answer questions or think on her feet.

Swiss right secures referendum on funding for ‘satanic’ Eurovision
A minor right-wing party that is seeking to derail plans to host the next Eurovision song contest in Switzerland appears to have secured a referendum on whether local taxpayers should foot the bill.
The Federal Democratic Union (EDU), a Protestant fundamentalist vehicle with two seats in parliament, says the show is “appalling propaganda” for satanism, “woke” values and the denigration of Christianity.
Who can blame them?
Barbara Kay: Harris doesn’t hate low-status men, she simply doesn’t see them
With 10 days to go, and 25 million votes already cast, the U.S. election is too close to call. Gender, with a near-25-point gap between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris supporters, is the leading factor in this impasse. Trump’s large male base is as solid as ever. The Dems’ traditional male base, not so much. Harris still has educated LGBTQ men sewn up. But there has been a meaningful shift to Trump amongst young Black males.
