Trudeau says he plans to lead Liberals into next federal election, dismisses comparisons to Biden

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected comparisons to U.S. President Joe Biden’s political fate on Monday, saying he’s focused on delivering an agenda that will carry the Liberals through the next election.

Mr. Trudeau gathered in Halifax with his cabinet for the second day of their retreat ahead of the return to the House of Commons next month. Last week’s Democratic convention, which saw Kamala Harris rise to the top of the presidential ticket and energize the party, has drawn significant attention from Liberals north of the border.

UK: Boy, 11, arrested in raids following riots

An 11-year-old boy was among those arrested during early morning raids on Wednesday, following riots across the country.

Fourteen people were detained, aged between 11 and 43, on suspicion of violent disorder, including a mother and her son.

Cleveland Police has now arrested 110 people following widespread disorder across Hartlepool and Middlesbrough almost a month ago.

Supt Marc Anderson, who was Silver Commander during the Middlesbrough disorder, said he had never “seen anything like” it in his 30 years of service.

Trudeau freezing bank accounts, Jan 6 protesters drawing disproportionately long jail terms, and the UK is arresting children. 

The elites are very afraid.

Jamie Sarkonak: Trudeau’s TFW changes a sorry distraction from his abuse of the program

Liberal edits to the immigration system are somewhat like a magician’s sleight-of-hand tricks. One hand distracts the audience, while the other maintains the illusion.

The latest flashy distraction came to us Monday: Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault announced that, starting Sept. 26, low-wage temporary foreign worker (TFW) program permit approvals will not be granted in cities with more than six per cent unemployment. TFWs will be limited to one-year stays, and they will only be permitted to make up 10 per cent of their employer’s workforce (down from the 30 and 20 per cent of recent years).

Pope Francis: Turning Away Migrants Is a ‘Grave Sin’

ROME — Immigration laws should not be made stricter but rather looser, to allow more immigrants to cross international borders, Pope Francis said Wednesday.

“Rather than more restrictive laws and the militarization of borders, what is needed is an expansion of secure and regular means of access,” the pontiff told those present for his weekly General Audience, “and a global governance of migrations based on justice, fraternity and solidarity.”

Drivers caught on video using on-ramp to get off Gardiner

Nobody likes to sit in traffic, but if you get stuck — whether due to reduced lanes, construction, a crash or sheer volume — you just have to scream-sing to an angry song and deal with it.

Toronto police exam-cheating scandal: Supt. Stacy Clarke given two-year demotion

THUG LIFE!

Clarke — the Toronto Police Service’s first Black female superintendent — has pleaded guilty to seven counts of professional misconduct and admitted she helped six Black cops cheat to get a promotion in “a desperate effort to level the playing field.”

Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke — who admitted she helped six Black cops cheat to get a promotion in “a desperate effort to level the playing field” — has been stripped of her trailblazing rank.

In a highly anticipated penalty decision, a tribunal hearing officer sentenced Clarke, the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history, to a two-year demotion, knocking her down one rank to inspector.

She will not be automatically reinstated to the rank of superintendent after demotion, meaning she will have to reapply.


A white cop would have been fired. I would not be comfortable dealing with a racist cop would you?

Trudeau Gov’t Seeking Answers About Economy’s Low Productivity, Standard of Living

The federal government will establish a working group to examine low economic productivity and a stagnating standard of living, Treasury Board President Anita Anand has announced.

Anand said she was immediately striking the working group, but details were scarce on its composition, timetables, and objectives. The working group will have the expertise to evaluate productivity issues in the private and public sectors and have representatives from across the country, she said Aug. 27, speaking from the margins of the Liberal cabinet retreat in Halifax. Unions will also be engaged.

Mexico Abruptly Freezes Relations With US, Canada

Many of us have been alarmed at the deterioration of the United States’ foreign relations with our allies under the tenure of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Our relationship with Israel has been strained to near the breaking point and our European allies seem to be unsure of how much they can rely on us. Taiwan is constantly looking over its shoulder, wary of a sudden attack by mainland China and what we might do about it in response. Now we can add another country to the list and it’s one much closer to home.

Trudeau government’s abuse of the Temporary Foreign Workers program included dropping fraud prevention safeguards when vetting applications in order to juice the intake numbers

Government officers told to skip fraud prevention steps when vetting temporary foreign worker applications, Star investigation finds

As the Trudeau government promises to crack down on a temporary foreign worker program it admits has been abused, a Star investigation has revealed the government is fast-tracking applications by directing processing officers to skip crucial steps designed to prevent fraud.

Beginning in January 2022, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) directed staff to apply “streamlining measures” when evaluating the legitimacy of applications by employers who want to hire temporary foreign workers.

According to internal ESDC documents obtained by the Star and interviews with a current ESDC employee, routine checks meant to ensure the system is not abused by unscrupulous employers have been suspended in an effort to process applications faster.

Joe Oliver: The uncanny parallels between Trudeau and Harris

After receiving the backroom blessing of Democratic Party powerbrokers, Kamala Harris quickly closed the presidential polling gap — though without granting a single interview. “Unburdened by what has been,” to quote the new Democratic nominee, many voters enthusiastically support her candidacy simply because she is not Donald Trump. But what she stands for should be of intense interest, not only to American voters, but to America’s allies and rivals around the world. For Canadians, the many parallels between Harris and Justin Trudeau are uncanny.
