Donald Trump tells rally at scene of shooting: We all took a bullet

Standing on the spot where he was nearly killed in July, Donald Trump told a vast rally that he would “never yield, not even in the face of death itself”.

The Republican candidate for president had returned to the scene of the failed assassination attempt just outside the small town of Butler, Pennsylvania, for three reasons: to kick off the final month of campaigning; to boost enthusiasm in the most important swing state in the nation; and to depict himself as a living martyr, ready to sacrifice himself for his populist cause.

My Toronto transit ride shows why it’s not wrong to consider involuntary care for the mentally ill

Should authorities detain people who refuse to get treatment for severe mental illness and addiction? That question has moved to the front burner in many Canadian cities. My ride to work on a Toronto streetcar this week showed why.

When I got on, a guy was lying passed out or asleep on the long bench at the back, taking up all the seats. A barefoot man in dirty clothes was walking up and down the aisle. At Yonge Street, just in front of the Eaton Centre, he got off and meandered unsteadily through the midday crowd.

This is from the Globe, and the author is not “right wing.”

Trump and Harris are deadlocked – could an October surprise change the game?

With one month to election day, the contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is the electoral equivalent of a bare-knuckle brawl.

The race for the White House still appears deadlocked, both nationally and in battleground states, so victory will be decided by the slimmest of margins – every new voter engaged, every undecided voter swayed, could help land a knock-out punch.

“In any super close race, where the electorate is divided down the middle, a difference of a percentage point or two could be decisive,” says David Greenberg, a presidential historian at Rutgers University.

Toronto is a shithole? We already knew that.

How a year of war a world away has cast a shadow over Canada’s biggest city

It has been a year of grief, anger and anguish.

A war a world away has cast its shadow over the residents of Toronto, one of the world’s most culturally diverse cities, with connections to every part of the globe.

The Hamas attack on Israel a year ago Monday and the ensuing 12 months of Israeli retaliation in Gaza and beyond, the latest brutal chapter in a decades-long conflict, have profoundly affected this city and its residents.

I take solace from the thought of all those White Liberal Voters enjoying Toronto’s burgeoning diversity as the city sinks deeper into the crapper.

Like I’ve been saying …

‘They’re filling strollers’: Inflation leading to theft at Ontario apple farms

As an Ontario apple grower, Melissa Downey is hoping for a better year.

The sector, which is now in prime season, is trying to recover from a poor 2023, a season the Ontario Apple Growers association describes as “beyond tough.”

Farms like Downey’s Strawberry and Apple Farm in Caledon, Ont., have tried to keep their prices respectable, but as inflation and food insecurity continues to be felt, they worry a rebound year could be out of sight.

Is Mark Carney the one man who can save the Liberals from a final countdown?

In the summer of 1991, famed music producer Butch Vig sat poolside at the infamous Oakwood Apartments. Butch watched the glossy hair metal band, Europe, high on their massive hit single “The Final Countdown” frolic in the pool with their shiny entourage. They were on top of the world. Little did they know that the cassette tape in the inner pocket of Butch’s denim vest would drive the nail into the coffin of their musical genre. You see, Butch had spent the past week recording Nirvana’s second album, “Nevermind.” This was a whole new sound and as soon as the kids heard it the whole zeitgeist would turn on a dime.

Mr. Charisma.

Protesters march through London with ‘I love Hezbollah’ banners

Protesters brandishing banners in support of the terror group Hezbollah marched through central London on Saturday.

Police made more than a dozen arrests as tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian activists staged a demonstration through the capital to Whitehall, ahead of the first anniversary of the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas on southern Israel.

In the crowd were several marchers who held placards and banners expressing their support for Hezbollah, the terror group that has controlled swathes of Beirut and southern Lebanon and launched repeated attacks on Israel in recent weeks.

Thousands of the usual suspects march in pro-Palestinian protest to mark a year of war in the Middle East

A sea of red, black, white and green filled Yonge-Dundas Square on Saturday, as thousands of people wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestinian and Lebanese flags gathered to mark one year since the Oct 7. attacks that sparked the biggest war in the Middle East in a generation.

“We will not be pushed aside. We stand with Gaza side by side,” they chanted in Toronto as marches took place across Canada and around the world in Paris, Manila, Cape Town and other major cities amid reports of new Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, which have killed 1,400 people in less than two weeks.

Why aren’t the criminals who invited a death cult to settle here in shackles?

Bullshit crowd estimate.

Oh cripes.

Dutch feminists campaign for national monument to ‘witches’

Three feminist campaigners in the Netherlands want to reclaim the insult “witch” and recognise the innocent victims of Dutch witch-hunts from the 15th to the 17th centuries with a national monument.

Susan Smit, Bregje Hofstede and Manja Bedner, the chair and board members of the National Witches Monument foundation, have raised €35,000 (£29,000) for an official site of memory for about 70,000 people who died during a Satanic panic that swept Europe and the Americas.

“It’s about creating more awareness around this history of, basically, femicide,” Hofstede said. “To this day a witch is still a comic figure. In the Netherlands, every year at the carnaval, people burn effigies of witches … but there’s hardly any knowledge of the actual history of people being burned at the stake.”

Former editor testifies Chinese media in Canada ‘controlled by Communist Party’

A retired editor from one of Canada’s leading Chinese-language newspapers has raised alarms about the dominance of Chinese Communist Party influence over local ethnic media.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Victor Ho, who served as the Vancouver editor of Sing Tao Daily for 13 years, testified before the Commission on Foreign Interference, warning that Chinese media in Canada, especially those targeting recent immigrants, have long been under the sway of Beijing’s agenda.
