Kamala Harris has a real shot at becoming president, but if she does, it will be because her voters hate Trump. It is impossible to believe that anybody thinks she is presidential material. She is stupid and proves it every time she opens her mouth.
Blanchet says Liberals have just days left to support the Bloc’s demands
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says the Liberal government has only days left to secure his party’s support in the House of Commons by agreeing to boost to some pensions and shield supply management from concessions in trade talks.
“The solution is so simple. It is so simple that I do not know what more I could explain,” Blanchet said Wednesday. “They know what we want, they know how to proceed to give, not only us, but all those in Quebec and Canada who want it, they know how to give it,
“They only have to proceed or find themselves another way out of this, but they know how we will behave.”
WTF?

Tucker’s Interview With Elon Is Required Viewing for Everybody
There’s an ad circulating on the TV networks that you may have seen. It features a working-class union black guy who calls himself “Buddy,” and he says that he’s voting for Kamala Harris because Donald Trump wants to give tax breaks to billionaires and Buddy thinks that’s not cool.
Somewhat conspicuously, when the ad starts in on how terrible it is for billionaires to get tax breaks, Team Kamala simply has to throw up a picture of Elon Musk in a tuxedo.
Elon Musk is all in.

The Great Inversion
Get used to longshoremen and other skilled tradesmen pulling in higher wages than college grads.
The quickly settled International Longshoremen’s Association strike takes us one more step toward the Great Inversion: a future in which people in the skilled and semi-skilled trades boast higher average wages than most college graduates. If the justification for most college degrees—only 10 percent of them in STEM fields—reduces to their boosting future earning power, then those graduates will have a problem. (Granted: a college education should be about more than just maximizing earnings.)
What happened in Bill Blair’s office during unexplained 54-day gap?
Things went missing in Bill Blair’s office in the spring of 2021. Important things.
Mr. Blair was, after all, the public safety minister, responsible for the intelligence agencies, the RCMP and the border agency, among other things.
Yet a CSIS intelligence note addressed to the minister didn’t make it to Mr. Blair’s eyes. And when CSIS sent a warrant application to the minister’s office seeking to conduct surveillance on an influential Ontario Liberal and former provincial cabinet minister, Michael Chan, it took 54 days before it got to Mr. Blair’s desk.
Kamala Sends $157 Million to Lebanon After Claiming No Money for U.S. Hurricane Victims
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claims that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is running out of money. (And not because it blew through $1.4 billion on illegal aliens, that’s dangerous misinformation.)

Must be Harris voters.
Canada ‘seriously’ considering high-speed rail link between Toronto and Quebec City: minister
The federal government is “seriously” considering building the country’s first high-speed rail link between Quebec City and Toronto, says Public Services and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos.
Ottawa announced plans back in 2021 to build what it called a “high-frequency” (HFR) rail corridor with stops in Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Laval and Quebec City. At the time, the government estimated the cost at between $6 billion and $12 billion.
Train wreck ahead. I can’t even imagine the scale of waste and graft that this boondoggle will generate.
GUNTER: Federal negligence at root of Jasper’s wildfire devastation
When an enormous wildfire roared through Jasper National Park and Jasper townsite in July, the feds wanted very little input from Alberta. Parks Canada asked Alberta, which has a lot of expertise in fighting wildfires, for a bit of help on the ground, but it wouldn’t invite Alberta officials into the integrated command structure.
Did Harris Fangirls on The View Damage Her Chances With a Simple Question?
One of the major risks with a politician avoiding media appearances is that they can get so out of practice that even a simple question can trip them up. Couple that with a friendly media personality looking to help out their candidate with softball questions, and you have a recipe for what happened on Tuesday’s edition of The View; where ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin may have accidently damaged Vice President Kamala Harris by creating a soundbite moment ripe for a Trump campaign ad.
Tropicana casino, relic of Las Vegas’s mob era, is brought tumbling down
With a rumble and colorful flashes, the last true mob-era casino in Las Vegas, the Tropicana, a landmark hotel and gambling parlor, was reduced to rubble on Wednesday.

Kath and I strolled through the Tropicana, it was falling to seed even then but still retained that Vegas aura.
Canada shouldn’t be the world’s example of how not to implement MAID
Canadians normally feel a little frisson of delight when we get mentioned in other countries. We’re so used to being ignored that we bask in any attention at all.
But the kind of attention we’re getting in the British media these days is the kind we could do without. The U.K. Parliament is getting ready to debate a bill on assisted dying, and Canada is making the headlines as the prime example of how not to handle this delicate issue.
