Would a cabinet shuffle solve Justin Trudeau’s problems?

Susan Delacourt: I’ll start out this week with two confessions. One, I took a break from Canadian news this month — I called it a detox, and I highly recommend it. Second, I replaced the habit by becoming riveted to politics in the U.S., especially last week’s Democratic convention.

However, in catching up this week to what I missed here, I learned that a brisk trade has resumed in cabinet shuffle speculation. There were even some serious suggestions we would be trudging up to Rideau Hall at some point, so Justin Trudeau could shake up the team before the cabinet retreat starting this weekend in Halifax.

Trudeau is deservedly hated. Nothing will help.

The Middle East: A Story of Journalistic Failure

On May 15, 1948, five Arabs armies started a war – and lost. From that time on, many Arabs have called this loss a “nakba” (“catastrophe”). Ever since then, they have been seeking sympathy for losing a war which they began. If they are unhappy, perhaps they should not have started a war in the first place.

On that May 15, forces from Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon, and Iraq “swooped in… just hours after British forces withdrew from Palestine and Israel had declared its independence.” Until then, anyone born there was a Palestinian. Christians were Palestinians, Jews were Palestinians. The “place of birth” on every passport was stamped “Palestine.”

Trudeau gov’t to spew more hot air about alleviating housing crisis they created ahead of cabinet retreat in Halifax

Feds to take steps on housing promises ahead of cabinet retreat in Halifax

HALIFAX – Housing Minister Sean Fraser is expected to unveil details on a Liberal promise to lease federal land to developers to build affordable housing on Sunday just before the full federal cabinet kicks off a three-day retreat in Halifax.

The annual end-of-summer cabinet session comes three weeks before Parliament returns for the fall sitting and is likely the last summer retreat for this cabinet before the next election.

It may be the last real chance this government has to reset itself with voters before asking them for another mandate.

Five participants in pogrom at Russian airport sentenced to up to nine years in prison

Five men involved in violent unrest at Makhachkala Airport in October have been sentenced to between six and nine years in prison by a court in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, its press service reported Friday.

… This was the first case brought against participants in the 29 October pogrom in Makhachkala, the capital of the Muslim-majority republic of Dagestan, in the North Caucasus, when a mob overran the airport, looking for “refugees from Israel”.

The pro-Hamas Muslim lynch mob at the airport in Makhachkala-Dagestan, Russia found its first “suspected Jew.”

Tensions linger as Ontario students prep for return to campus after pro-Palestinian protests

As students prepare to head back to post-secondary campuses for the fall term, tensions sparked by the pro-Palestinian protest encampments that cropped up at several Ontario universities over the summer break are lingering on for some.

Several students who supported or participated in the protests say they’re disappointed in how their schools handled the encampments, while some Jewish students say they’re anxious about returning to campuses where conversations about the Israel-Hamas war could be particularly charged.

Close encounters: People gather in New Brunswick conference to share Bigfoot stories

MONCTON, N.B. – Ann Marie Reinhart was enjoying a peaceful day’s fishing near southern New Brunswick’s Kingston Peninsula when a sound between a howl and a scream tore through the air.

Birds fell silent, she said, in response to the four eerie calls that sounded like they came from two distinct sources.

“It was not of any animal I’ve ever heard, and I spent a lot of time in the woods,” Reinhart said, though she had little doubt about the creatures behind the noise.

Man-bun-wearing Matt Walsh convinces liberal white women to toast ‘being racist’ in documentary

A group of mostly liberal white women were quick to raise their glass in a toast to “being racist” when cajoled into doing so by an undercover man-bun-wearing conservative podcaster Matt Walsh.

Walsh crashed a progressive supper club Race2Dinner commiseration session last year for his upcoming documentary “Am I Racist.” Those dinners, which reportedly cost women up to $5,000, feature two-hour-long “honest” — many say self-loathing — conversations about race typically with eight guests.

St-Laurent man who sexually assaulted several women & minors argued he was having difficulty adapting to life in Canada

A resident of the St-Laurent borough who admitted to sexually abusing six women and two girls over the course of 13 months will probably be deported after Quebec Superior Court rejected his appeal of his 16-month sentence.

… In the appeal, Akra argued that St-Onge did not properly weigh the aggravating factors in his case versus the mitigating factors, including his claim that there was no sexual dimension involved in his crimes. Akra argued he was having difficulty adapting to life in Canada and was working in an environment where he felt he was denigrated.

While determining the sentence, St-Onge noted Akra’s denial that there was a sexual dimension to his crimes and how it contradicted the evidence, including how he told one victim: “You’re so sexy, I want to pleasure you.”

Teachers to be taught to challenge ‘whiteness’ in schools

Teachers will be taught to challenge “whiteness” in lessons.

Guidance has been created for teacher-training courses, to ensure future educators are “anti-racist” and prepared to implement this in the classroom.

Teachers will be instructed in how to “disrupt the centrality of whiteness” in schools, according to a best-practice document.

The term “whiteness” in critical race theory refers to social attitudes considered normal by white people, and guidance suggests that concepts including “meritocracy”, “objectivity” and “individualism” should be questioned.

Money woes, harassment pose barriers to diversifying Ont. politics, study finds

New research is highlighting harassment and a lack of financial resources as two common barriers for diverse candidates in Ontario municipal politics.

Titled Mapping the Experiences of Diverse Candidates Running for Municipal Office in Ontario, the project was commissioned by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and released during their annual conference in Ottawa earlier this month.

Its results were compiled from a mix of approaches, including interviews, survey responses and focus groups. There were a total of 118 participants.

Apparently we should be footing the bill for “minority candidates.”

Biden-Harris Department of Energy official calls for ‘queering nuclear weapons’ as part of radical DEI agenda

A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies – which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons – arguing that advancing “queer theory” was essential to that agenda as well as important to America’s national security.

The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair had been appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration in February 2024. Nair believes in eradicating purported “White supremacy” in the nuclear field as well as “queering nuclear weapons” as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion push she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.

How Jewish Canadians are coping with rising antisemitism after being target of bomb threat

Bomb threats sent to dozens of synagogues and other Jewish institutions in Canada this week have left some community members shaken, with several Jewish Canadians telling CBC News they’ve recently experienced antisemitism on a level they haven’t seen before and changed how they go about their daily lives.

Several respondents to a CBC News request for people to share their experiences did not feel comfortable telling their stories on the record out of concern for their safety and that of their families.

The GTA is about 10% Islamist so there’s really no place to hide.

And the rest of the region’s diverse 3rd World settlers don’t really give a crap having no connection to Canada or western history and values.

Legendary strategist James Carville on why Trump’s poll numbers are lulling Dems into a false sense of security

Legendary Democratic strategist James Carville cautioned Democrats against falling into a false sense of security as polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading the race against former President Donald Trump.

The longtime Democratic strategist warned Democrats during Friday night’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” that while Harris is currently polling ahead of Trump, she will have to work harder to win the Electoral College.
