Canadian governments, which need ever more revenue to finance their spending, have been targeting what they traditionally viewed as Canadians’ most undertaxed assets: their homes. The upshot: Governments have been filling their coffers at the expense of homeowners, relieving them of their cash and sometimes their homes.

CBS Mornings co-anchor Tony Dokoupil displayed a lot of courage on Monday’s show when confronted race hustler and author Ta-Nehisi Coates for his new book The Message, where Coates took the side of anti-Semitic, genocidal terrorists in their fight to exterminate Israel. Dokoupil pointed out that Coates completely omitted Israel’s perspective in the conflict and suggested Coates essay read like the manifesto “in the backpack of an extremist.”
Coates responded by claiming he was morally superior because he’s black.

JOY REID: Trump wants his supporters to “do violence” to black people if he loses the election, “to stop another peaceful transfer of power."
This is the kind of deranged and dangerous conspiracy theory that passes for analysis on MSNBC:

Finding an affordable apartment to rent in most of Canada’s larger cities is nearly impossible for people earning minimum wage, a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) says.
Only 22 neighbourhoods out of nearly 800 in larger Canadian cities have average rents for two-bedroom apartments that would be affordable for someone earning minimum wage, the report says. The situation has grown worse since the CCPA’s first study of the issue in 2019.
Three witnesses say that Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, once assaulted his ex-girlfriend, according to a report from The Daily Mail. Emhoff, now 59, is said to have struck the woman so forcefully in the face that she spun around while waiting in a valet line late at night. The three witnesses were all friends of the victim, who was given the pseudonym of “Jane” in the report.
Doug Emhoff timeline:
2009: Impregnated his chiId’s nanny
2012: Physically assauIts his girlfriend
2023: Lectures us on toxic masculinity
2024: Hailed for redefining masculinity pic.twitter.com/Ow18xQpHlI— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) October 2, 2024
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is spending $200 million to promote sexual “education” and the murder of unborn children in Africa.
According to a September 24 press release, the Trudeau government is spending $200 million in taxpayer funds to promote “comprehensive sexual and reproductive health” in Africa, $48 million of which will go directly to the pro-abortion International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).
You know what you need before ostentatiously conducting a fact-check? Actual facts. Like Candy Crowley at CNN twelve years ago, Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan smugly “corrected” a statement that was correct in the first place. And when J.D. Vance attempted to correct the “misinformation,” CBS News cut the mics and insisted that they had more important issues to discuss.
JD Vance just fact checked CBS News' fact check on Kamala Harris' app that allows illegal aliens to enter this country.

Two of the most recent polls are putting Justin Trudeau’s Liberals back in 2015 — and not the better part of that year for them, when they liked to say that better was always possible.
Nik Nanos is reporting that Liberal support has dropped to levels not seen since 2015, while Abacus Data is showing the Liberals behind the New Democrats — outside Quebec, it should be noted.
“100” was spelled out in giant numbers on the White House north lawn on Tuesday. It was a birthday tribute to the former US president Jimmy Carter, who served only one term after being buffeted by external events such as high inflation and a hostage crisis in Iran.
The current occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, must know the feeling as he fights three fires at once. Iran has launched at least 180 missiles into Israel, six US states are still reeling from Hurricane Helene, and ports from Maine to Texas shut down as about 45,000 dockworkers went on strike.
Unlike Carter, Biden already knows his fate: he is not seeking re-election next month. But what remains uncertain is whether the trio of troubles will drag down his vice-president and would-be successor, Kamala Harris. Certainly her rival, Donald Trump, smells an opportunity to tar her with the same brush of chaos.
There’s a battle brewing over generational fairness as Bloc Québécois demands a pension hike
A debate over how Ottawa chooses to divide its spending among age cohorts is ramping up as the Bloc Québécois pushes the Liberal minority government to boost Old Age Security (OAS) payments.
Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet put forward a motion Tuesday demanding that the government move forward with legislation that would hike OAS payouts for seniors between the ages of 65 and 74.
The Bloc has said it will only continue supporting the Liberal government on future non-confidence votes if it gets an OAS hike before the end of this month. It also wants stronger trade protections for supply-managed farm sectors.
Blanchet has Junior by the short ones.

In bombshell allegations, an additional 120 victims have come forward to accuse rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sex abuse, with several underage victims, including a 9-year-old, among them.
The claims where made by Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee who announced he’s representing 120 victims who he believes have legitimate cases against the rapper turned media mogul.
Of the 120 new victims, 25 were underage when the alleged abuse happened between 1991 and as recently as this year, Buzbee revealed.
But wait there’s more…
Diddy’s ‘list of accomplices’ to be revealed in new lawsuits as lawyer warns: ‘The names will shock you’
A list of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged accomplices is set to be released as part of a new wave of bombshell lawsuits and the lawyer involved says it contains household names.
‘The names will shock you,’ attorney Tony Buzbee said during a press conference on Tuesday as he announced the new cases on behalf of 120 victims.
The small group of young advisors who ran Pierre Poilievre’s campaign to become leader of the Conservative Party of Canada two years ago started out worried. Politicians in their large and sparsely populated country tend to avoid holding rallies; to get to meetings, people have to drive distances that the British mind might find hard to fathom. There’s a constant paranoia about not being able to fill the room.
“Within about a week we realised that wasn’t going to be a problem,” says Ginny Roth, who was in charge of communications for the campaign. “We knew Pierre was popular online but we didn’t know how that would translate on the ground. In fact, we were soon having to book bigger venues.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has barred UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres from entering the country, accusing him of bias against Israel.
Katz declared Guterres “persona non grata” following what he described as the UN chief’s failure to specifically condemn Iran’s recent missile attack on Israel.
