Kelly McParland: The amazing disappearing Liberal parties of Canada

The loss of provincial Liberal parties is a striking indication of how toxic Justin Trudeau’s brand has become

If I were into conjuring, my next act would be something along the line of “The Amazing Disappearing Liberal Parties of Canada.” I’d have a cape. And an attractive assistant with leggy legs. And sound effects to distract the yokels. “Ladeees and gentlemen … watch carefully as one of Canada’s oldest parties disappears before your very eyes!”

Continental Spring? Europe Could Be One Violent Migrant Incident Away From a Revolution

Could Europe be facing its own version of the so-called Arab Spring? That era of uprisings and rebellions started with the despair — and suicide by fire — of a single Tunisian street vendor. It tore through the political fabric of much of the Middle East. In Europe today, disaffection with leaders seen as detached from the realities of migrant crime is roiling politics across the Continent.

Harris–Walz Campaign Hires Activist to Woo Religious Voters

St. Ho – Patron Saint of working girls.

It looks like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want God on their side this election.

Does that surprise? After all, this is the party that made its bones as an anti-God party and even booed God at one national convention. Americans who even loosely think the nation’s founders believed God had a role to play in its formation are condemned by these people with scary monikers like “white Christian nationalists.” Nearly all of the Democrats’ social policies push hard against traditional Christian doctrine — they do so on abortion, same-sex marriage, gender identity, and end-of-life issues.

Is Flip-Flopper Inc. reversing its stance on the Almighty as well?

Jagmeet Singh had a good reason to tear up his deal with Justin Trudeau — and it’s not that he wants an election

It was a marriage of convenience that ended because it was no longer convenient. No need for progressives to shed a tear, or for Liberals to fear the fall of the government, or for Conservatives to celebrate.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh did what he needed to do, what caucus members wanted him to do, what many New Democrats members believed should have been done last year.

No one is buying Singh’s “Man of Principle” tripe.

Iran’s New Plan: Lost Gaza, So Take West Bank

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has condemned Israel for initiating a large-scale military operation in the northern West Bank, near Jordan, but it has purposely chosen to overlook the reason behind the Israeli security’s operation. Israel’s counterterrorism operation, called Summer Camps, targets numerous Iran-backed armed terrorist groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), that have been operating freely in PA-controlled territories in the past few years.

Ottawa warned release of names of Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada could help Russia

Russian propaganda in the war against Ukraine could get a boost from the release of a secret report naming hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals who later came to Canada, the federal government has been warned.

Ottawa has been considering releasing the remainder of an inquiry report that has been kept secret for decades and contains the names of around 900 alleged war criminals who came to Canada after the Second World War, including members of a Ukrainian SS division.

Key photos reveal forensic timeline of billionaire couple Barry and Honey Sherman’s murders

Police photos of the Barry and Honey Sherman crime scene suggest she was attacked after she entered their home on Old Colony Road — not carjacked and taken into the house as was initially speculated in police documents.

A photo snapped by a police forensic officer shortly after the pair’s bodies were discovered shows two gift bags placed neatly on the kitchen table, along with a handbag.

Even in Atlantic Canada, the tide is turning on the Trudeau Liberals

Back in 2002, when he was leader of the Official Opposition, Stephen Harper decided to make himself persona non grata in Atlantic Canada. “There is a dependence in the region that breeds a culture of defeatism,” he infamously declared.

Atlantic Canada has long been known as a reliable bastion of support for the Liberal Party, which could be one reason why Mr. Harper – a conservative from the West – felt at liberty to trash-talk the place. But these days, Atlantic Canada is as fed up with the Liberals as Alberta is. A recent Angus Reid survey shows that only 21 per cent of Atlantic Canadians support the Liberals; in comparison, 43 per cent support the Conservatives. It’s just the latest poll showing deepening dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s government and a steady lead for Pierre Poilievre’s Tories; in August, a Leger poll found 19-per-cent support for the Liberals, a mere 8 per cent for the NDP, and a remarkable 55 per cent for Conservatives. If the pattern holds, the region seems poised for a blue wave in the next election.

Let’s send asylum seekers to Rwanda, says Germany’s migration chief

Germany’s migration commissioner has proposed sending migrants to Rwanda, where facilities prepared for Britain’s now-scrapped deportation deal are sitting empty.

Joachim Stamp, a Free Democratic Party member of chancellor Olaf Scholz’s governing coalition, said that the scheme would target refugees crossing the European Union’s eastern borders.
