Kamala Harris has said she laughs “from the belly”, like her mother.
For her supporters the chuckle is a selling point, broadening the Democratic presidential nominee’s popular appeal and producing countless online tributes.
Donald Trump, though, has sought to use the laugh against Harris, offering a nickname for the vice-president — “Laughing Kamala” — and telling one rally: “You ever watch her laugh? … You can tell a lot by a laugh. No — she’s crazy. She’s nuts.”
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has called on Parks Canada to “get its spending under control” after it was revealed that the department has spent thousands trying to capture and kill American bullfrogs in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.
Since 2018, over $10,000 has been dumped into the project, however very few frogs have been caught.
By appointing a raving gender ideologue to the Senate, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did nothing wrong. But boy, is the upper house of Parliament going to be a pain for years to come.
This new Alberta representative in the upper house is Kristopher Wells, MacEwan University professor, Pride Tape inventor, Canada Research Chair and on-call academic activist. He can reliably explain to the uneducated public that all conservative parties in Canada have “been hijacked (by) far-right extremists”; that the federal Conservative party “is now a party of hate, extremism and division”; and that any talk of restricting cosmetic cross-sex hormones is evidence of a “conservative agenda” to “restrict access to life-saving health care for anyone they don’t agree with.”
A multinational automaker laid off more than 2,000 American workers in August after benefiting handsomely from the Biden administration’s subsidies for electric-vehicle production.
Stellantis, the parent company to famous brands like Ram and Jeep, has been awarded hundreds of millions in grants from the federal government to promote its EV manufacturing. But the Biden administration’s largesse has not prevented the company from laying off American workers.
The Biden-Harris administration has spent more of taxpayers’ money on climate policies than any previous U.S. administration. But a new study found that most of the climate policies enacted in the last 25 years, including the ones the Biden-Harris administration imposed on American businesses and consumers, haven’t worked.
The study, published in the Journal of Science, evaluated about 1,500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 by 41 OECD countries (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). The study found only 63 policies (about 4 percent) that, combined, had successfully “reduced total emissions between 0.6 and 1.8 Gt CO2.” Due to the low success rate, researchers estimate the CO2 emissions from the 41 nations they studied will exceed the Paris Climate Agreement target by 23 billion metric tons by 2030.
Earlier this summer, my son and I biked over to fashionable east Hackney where it’s normal to pay £4.20 for a coffee and £3 for a croissant and everybody complains about the cost of living. The croissants, by the way, must come from the Dusty Knuckle bakery. I don’t know if it’s the same in other parts of London, but here in the north-east we have our standards.
We’d biked a fair distance, so we found a café that sold Dusty Knuckle croissants and settled in. My son read his book while I eavesdropped on the conversation between three interesting-looking youngish people at the next table. Interesting because they all looked so very typical it was almost surprising. Like going to Australia and right away coming face to face with a koala in a eucalyptus tree.
Every day, more information comes out arguing against the government narrative that a “lone wolf” attack lies behind the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. The Biden Administration’s feeble attempts through surrogates to deflect and deny have become standard and boring. The variations are endless but the content is the same …
When the Democrats’ darling fell for the fake noose.
Kamala Harris is trying to cover up her blunders and bulk her resume with fake jobs such as McDonald’s worker. The establishment media have forgotten her encounter with actor Jussie Smollett, and the back story as well.
According to a recent survey, pride in British history is at an all-time low, especially among 18 to 24 year-olds.
This worrying trend doesn’t surprise me. Indeed, a revealing and sadly not uncommon conversation I had with a Year 10 class last term goes some way to explaining it. They asked me what I thought about the repatriation of the Elgin Marbles. “Should they be sent back to Greece?” one asked. Initially surprised by an unexpected foray into current affairs, I demurred from committing to a position, concerned that the wrong answer could land me in hot water with my woke colleagues, and aware of my professional obligation to remain neutral.
The belief that aliens have visited Earth and may even live among us is not a new concept; it has persisted for centuries. But now this notion is gaining unprecedented traction in the U.S. and abroad, raising concerns about its potential impact on society.
In the U.S., belief in UFO sightings as evidence of alien life has surged from 20 percent in 1996 to 34 percent in 2022, with 24 percent of Americans reporting they have seen a UFO, according to a 2022 YouGov poll of 1,000 U.S. adult citizens. In short, this belief is no longer confined to the fringes.
EVs are still only viable for the well-off, urban-dwelling, laptop class.
No invention has done more to liberate society than the mass-produced car. It has become as democratised as such a complex piece of machinery can be. Today, just £1,000 gets you a Vauxhall Corsa from the early 2010s. While it won’t be fast, exciting or luxurious, it will get you as far as your petrol money and dreams will take you. Or, more likely, to work and back.
Leader Jagmeet Singh has terminated the ‘supply-and-confidence agreement’ his party made with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. The end of the deal, which was scheduled to run until June 2025, was announced via social media at mid-day today.
Singh based his comments on what appears to be complete falsehoods about Liberal greed and the cuts to programs he claims that the Conservatives plan to make. As a former MPO, I recognize these as typical deflection lies rooted in their politics of envy and resentment.
Why now, though?
OTTAWA — With only two years experience in politics, Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette may be a political upstart, but she seems to be the spearhead of Canada’s immigration policy.
And now, with a mini cabinet shuffle likely on Thursday, François Legault could entrust her with yet another major file: the economy.
Since Fréchette took over as immigration minister in 2022, she has not been the most vocal or flamboyant minister but she has been trusted with one of her boss’s most cherished priorities. And again and again, Canada has followed Fréchette’s lead on immigration.
The federal Liberal party’s national campaign director is quitting, the Star has learned. Jeremy Broadhurst privately told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month he is leaving, according to several Liberal sources.
The news blindsided Trudeau’s chief of staff, Katie Telford. According to one individual who spoke on condition of anonymity, Broadhurst told the prime minister he didn’t think Trudeau could win the next election and that Broadhurst should be replaced with someone who felt Trudeau could win a fourth term.

Friends, brothers, sisters, and donors (yes, both of you): we did it.
It has been a long two-and-a-half years: two-and-a-half years of subtle debasement, of quiet humiliation, of trying to explain what, exactly, we’re thinking by propping up a government that we’ve also called “out-of-touch” and ineffective.
