POLITICO puts it more gently, but as I predicted this morning, one of the lasting impacts of the debate will be a renewed focus on the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, I mean Tim Walz.
Walz’s lies are catching up to him, and apparently he “misspoke” a fair amount to the Harris campaign team, who claim to have had no idea that Timmy is a fabulist.
Police in Toronto and York Region plan on having an increased presence this weekend to mark the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terror attacks on Israel. It is a sad statement on the country that police feel the need to increase patrols ahead of the anniversary of a terrorist attack.
The TPS has become a little less Hamas friendly than they were a year ago.
I do suspect they are instructed to go easy on the Mohammedans so as to avoid violence.
We’re now about a month away from the election, and everyone is trying to forecast what will happen. The media is calling the race a toss-up, and technically, they’re probably right. That said, is a toss-up really a toss-up? On Wednesday, there was a viral claim suggesting that Donald Trump, based on CNN’s latest poll, is heavily favored to win. Is there any truth to that?
Canada ponders ‘top secret’ data cloud as allies push ahead with intelligence-sharing plans
Australia is joining the United States and the United Kingdom in developing top-secret cloud networks to exchange highly classified defence, national security and intelligence data with each other — a concept Canada has just begun to think about.
Experts say that, unless the gap is closed quickly, Canada’s lack of such digital infrastructure will have a profound impact on new military hardware the federal government has committed to purchasing, such as F-35 stealth fighters, MQ-9 Reaper drones and long-range P-8 surveillance planes.
I don’t think Canada is dithering so much as not being invited to participate.
I suspect we are considered both a piker and a genuine security risk.
Donald Trump unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade about undocumented immigrants and predicted that this “could be the last election we ever have” if Kamala Harris wins during a private fundraising dinner this summer.
The Guardian obtained a 12-minute recording of a speech that the Republican presidential nominee gave at a dinner on 10 August in Aspen, Colorado, where attendees were required to donate anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 a couple.
Trump devoted most of his address to border security and immigration, recycling xenophobic claims now familiar from his rallies. “Radical leftwing lunatics” want people to come in from prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums, he asserted without evidence, adding that the US was harbouring “a record number of terrorists”.
But it’s true.
TRUMP ON KAMALA: “They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank so they could give it to their illegal immigrants who they want to vote in this election.”

Kamala’s voting track record when she was in the Senate was to the left of Bernie Sanders!
She was rated most far left of all 100 senators. Not a moderate at all. https://t.co/FITwCRVKjs

Every time I drive on Road 232, a main artery through southern Israel, I see phantoms.
Since moving to a kibbutz in southern Israel in July, Road 232 has become my lifeline, as it is for all residents of a region that is dotted with small towns and villages. This beautiful, pastoral area is where much of Israel’s fresh produce is grown.
And who are the guilty parties.
Canada’s decline is due to the machinations of a corrupt elite.
They are the people who encouraged mass Islamist immigration and surrendered our institutions to the radical liberal-left.
They called us racists and Islamophobes while flooding the nation with incompatible cultures which they in turn championed as equal or better to our own.
The made us poor by depressing wages and profiting from the shortages created by their mass immigration scheme.
They made laws to silence dissent and co-opted the news media to further their agenda.
They hate us. Once you accept that it all makes sense.
Who’s to blame for the second attempt? Beyond the obvious implications for society as a whole, the latest attempt will have major ramifications for markets and investors.

Global Affairs Canada (GAC) says two flights chartered by the federal government to bring Canadians out of Lebanon left Beirut for Istanbul Thursday with just 275 passengers and 379 empty seats.
In Paris on Thursday for the Francophonie Summit, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters there were 654 seats on those two flights.
“Please take the seats,” Joly said. “At this point, not all seats are taken by Canadians.”
Iran’s missile strikes on Israel were “correct, logical, and lawful”, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a vast crowd which had gathered to hear him speak in Tehran on Friday.
The country’s supreme leader described the attack as the “minimum punishment” for what he called Israel’s “astonishing crimes” while leading Friday prayers in the capital, something he has not done since 2020.
Khamenei’s speech came three days after Iran fired nearly 200 missiles at Israel, in what it said was retaliation for the assassination of Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
DoorDash driver who appeared to spit in Whitby man’s drink removed from platform
… The Durham Regional Police Service confirmed that officers attended the scene and spoke with both Bishay and the suspect following the incident. They said that the individual who delivered the drinks was charged with failing to properly secure his two children in the vehicle, which carries a set fine of $200 and two demerit points apiece.
CTV News Toronto has blurred the delivery driver’s face in the video above as he has not been publicly identified by police.
Do not trust your health to these racists. He’s probably back working for Doordash under another name.
Former President Barack Obama plans to commence a 27-day campaign sprint for Vice President Kamala Harris next week in Pennsylvania, an adviser to the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign said, hoping his star power among Democrats can help propel her to the office he once held.
Openly concerned about Democratic complacency and acutely aware of razor-thin margins in polls, Obama — who, along with his wife, Michelle, is one of the party’s most popular figures — is seeking to help Harris in any way he can, aides have said.

We’ll be waiting for a while yet to hear why stands of dead trees outside the Jasper National Park townsite were allowed to sit and wait for a catastrophic fire.
Twin probes are underway in Ottawa to crack the issue — one in the House of Commons, another in the Senate, but between jabs at the Harper government and time-wasting lines of questioning better spent on Wikipedia searches, they seem to be getting nowhere.

The world’s longest-running treasure hunt has been solved 31 years after a “Golden Owl” was buried somewhere in France.
The hunt for the Chouette d’Or – an owl statuette made from gold, silver and precious stones – has prompted such passion, even obsession, over the years that it is said to have led to financial ruin, divorce and even madness.
