Sabrina Maddeaux: Canada’s suburban crime surge is exposing years of national security neglect

Once an issue hits the suburbs, federal politicians tend to start paying attention—or at least they should if they have a long-term interest in staying elected. Suburbs are not only often swing ridings, but full of families, high-earning professionals, and seniors who are known to turn out to polls.

The trouble for politicians often is, by the time a historically urban crisis creeps into the suburbs, it’s festered so long, it’s now a systemic failure. This is the case with Canada’s suburban crime surge.

The Liberal Media Bubble And The ABC Debate

It wasn’t a hard call.

At this point in the history of televised debates, a history that began with the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates ( 64 years ago!!) and has continued on with a seemingly endless stream of both Republican vs. Democrat nominee debates plus Republican vs. Republican and Democrat vs. Democrat nomination debates, one would think ABC would have learned a thing or two.

But, alas, no.

Suspect in second Trump assassination attempt identified as Ryan Wesley Routh

The suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.

Routh was allegedly armed with an assault rifle outside Trump International Golf Club while Trump was playing the fifth hole on Sunday afternoon.

He was able to push the muzzle of his gun through the chainlink fence outside the golf club, authorities said.


FBI says it’s probing ‘attempted assassination’ on Trump after gunman ‘armed with assault rifle’ was shot at by Secret Service on his golf course

Trump confirmed in a statement about an hour after the incident that he is ‘safe and well’ and didn’t want rumors to ‘start spiraling out of control.’

I was out this afternoon and this happened.

Thank you XC, Mauser & DS.

Harris, Weakest Democrat With Latinos ‘This Century,’ Scrambles as Hispanic Heritage Month Begins

National Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off Sunday with Vice President Harris launching what NBC News describes as her “largest effort yet to reach Latino voters.” President Trump is enjoying historic support from the voting bloc, putting the Democrat on notice that she cannot take its support for granted.

The NPR/PBS News/Marist National poll released last week found Trump leading Ms. Harris 51 to 47 percent among Hispanics. That’s a nine-point swing from last month, and 16 points higher than the 35 percent of the now 36.2 million-strong group he earned in 2020. It’s also a 23-point improvement on his 2016 total.

I can’t wait for her Barrio accent.

The return of ISIS: How a Toronto case fits into the global resurgence of a terror group we thought had been defeated

In the isolation of an encrypted chat group, the alleged plan of a Toronto man might have passed for the dark fantasy of a deranged mind.

It called for military tactical gear, a few hundred rounds of ammunition, black Islamic headbands bought from an online store and “some good hunting (knives) so we can slit their throats,” according to an indictment filed in a U.S. court against 20-year-old Muhammad Shahzeb Khan.

And there was a sickening boast to boot.

Jamie Sarkonak: Don’t burden the rest of Canada with asylum seekers. Change the rules

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for an asylum-seeker surge in 2017, and boy did he get it. Well, Ontario and Quebec got most of it. And now, as those provinces struggle to support the weight, the federal government has floated a new solution: just spread it around.

A federal plan under consideration would send about 28,000 asylum seekers to Alberta, 32,500 to British Columbia, 5,000 to Nova Scotia and 4,600 to New Brunswick. The idea is to distribute the burden across the country in proportion to provincial populations. Only, we don’t have any room.

Robert De Niro Rants to CNN: Trump Will Never Give Up Power ; ‘He Thinks He‘s a Gangster‘

A

Left-wing Hollywood star Robert De Niro is back to publicly trash-talking former President Donald Trump.

After a relatively brief absence from the spotlight following his disastrous New York press conference in May, Robert De Niro is hitting the campaign trail in service of Kamala Harris, appearing in a recent Italian-American themed “Paisans for Kamala” fundraiser on Sunday and in an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace on Friday

What would have to happen in Parliament to trigger an early election?

MPs return Monday to a House of Commons that promises to be even more volatile than it was when they left it in June.

The end of the Liberal-NDP governance agreement makes an early election more likely but not inevitable.

A party can only continue governing as long as it has the “confidence” of the House — the support of a majority of MPs.

Trump ‘likelier winner’ unless Harris tackles two failings, says former UK ambassador

Donald Trump will remain the “likelier winner” of the US presidential election on 5 November unless the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, addresses key failings in her campaign, a former British ambassador to Washington says on Sunday.

Kim Darroch says that despite clearly getting the better of Trump in last week’s televised head-to-head debate, Harris risks making two crucial mistakes in the final weeks of campaigning, which mean the former Republican president is still the favourite.


I think Kamala has much more to worry about than avoiding “two” mistakes.

Polling has adapted to more accurately measure Trump support we are told but he still polls lower than results show.

Kamala is floundering despite a rigged debate victory. Appeals for support based on her chameleon like racial identity and laughable accents Du jour are not winning hearts and minds.

Robert Libman: Montreal byelection could spell end for Trudeau and Singh

Despite all the media speculation, the leadership discussion within the federal Liberal caucus has so far remained pretty much bottled up inside the party, with public comments about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau relatively mitigated. But the bottle could pop after Monday night, depending on results of the byelection in the Liberal stronghold of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, left vacant with the resignation of former justice minister David Lametti.

US rejects claims of CIA involvement in alleged plot to kill Maduro after Venezuela arrests six

The US state department rejected allegations of CIA involvement in an alleged assassination plot against Nicolás Maduro after Venezuelan officials announced the arrest of three Americans, two Spaniards and a Czech on Saturday.

The claims of a plot against Maduro – the Venezuelan president, whose recent re-election is contested – were made on state television by Diosdado Cabello, the interior minister. Cabello said the foreign citizens including a US navy member were part of a CIA-led plot to overthrow the Venezuelan government and kill several members of its leadership. In the television programme, Cabello showed images of rifles that he said were confiscated from some of the alleged plotters.
