These Canadians don’t care much about politics. Here’s why a growing number feel democracy isn’t working for them

OTTAWA — On the face of it, Ahnaf Zahin and Taylor Stuart don’t have much in common.

Zahin, who arrived in Canada from Bangladesh when he was a child, just turned 20 and is about to start his third year as a neuroscience and physiology major at the University of Toronto.

Stuart is 37, grew up in Kamloops, B.C., and is an air ambulance pilot in Vancouver.

Canada suffers from Uniparty Syndrome, a permanent political class of pols and crony capitalists who along with an ever growing bureaucracy devour our rights and freedoms.

As Trudeau cabinet meets, Liberal MPs look for signs of change following byelection loss

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with his ministers in Halifax on Sunday for the annual cabinet retreat, a gathering that comes after a year of dire polling for the government and disquiet among some Liberal MPs.

Some of those MPs are now calling for big changes — and for the prime minister to publicly show signs of contrition.

Cabinet is meeting for three days and is expected to tackle pocketbook issues and seek to strengthen Canada’s relationship with the United States ahead of the House of Commons’ return in September.

Nothing is going to turn LPC/NDP fortunes around.

The investigation into a man suspected of carrying out deadly stabbings at a festival in the western German city of Solingen is now in the hands of federal prosecutors as being a case of suspected terrorism, a police spokesperson said on Sunday.

The attacks on Friday evening, in which three people died and eight were injured, has been claimed by the extremist “Islamic State” (IS) group. The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is now examining whether a suspect who handed himself in on Saturday evening has links with the terrorist organization.

GUNTER: Threat of bringing down Trudeau government out of character for Singh

New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s fed up with the Liberals because the Trudeau cabinet decided to send the lockout/strike affecting the country’s two major railways to binding arbitration. Singh would have preferred the work stoppage be settled at the bargaining table rather than at a Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) hearing.

The Other Problem With Gaza

Gaza is not only a problem for the Israelis but for much of the world as well. It is a telling fact that no Arab states have opened their doors to Gazan refugees, recognizing as did Jordan in 1970 during the Black September movement that the Palestinians were a destabilizing force. Jordan expelled the cohort to Lebanon where it has since effectively destroyed the country. The surrounding Arab states are no fools and want nothing to do with Gaza. To counter their indifference, the ever-credulous West has taken up the slack out of “compassion” or political calculation — more grateful voters.

The IDF and Hezbollah entered a new, much more dangerous phase of the conflict in the North early Sunday morning, with hundreds of air force jets striking thousands of Hezbollah rocket attack platforms.

Trump not wrong on Canada’s dangerous border

For our own safety and security, Canadians — starting with His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition — must be relentless in insisting that Ottawa give the same priority and attention to detail to national security that they deliver in abundance to anything concerning climate change or the extermination of the oil and gas industry.

It is utterly scandalous that people with terrorist links are able to enter Canada undetected and stay here.

LILLEY: Islamic hate preacher now on tour across Canada

Imagine a controversial Christian preacher from the U.S. who tells his followers that Muslims are our enemy being allowed to tour this country.

Would the Trudeau government allow such a preacher to conduct a lecture tour if he taught that all Muslims are liars who cheat, and that homosexuals are animals?

It’s doubtful — but if it did happen, there would be outrage and demonstrations outside of the tour locations.

Dana Bash Admits Democrats Are The Party Of Low-T Beta Males

Despite the Kamala Harris presidential campaign’s desperate appeal to white male voters with camouflage trucker hats, CNN’s Dana Bash characterized Democrats as an estrogen-fueled political movement uncomfortable with traditional traits of masculinity.

Doug Emhoff and Vice-Presidential nominee Tim Walz, Bash said Thursday at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), represent the party’s effort to “put forward male figures” who “can speak to men out there who might not be the testosterone-laden, gun-toting type of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan.”

Girl to be fined for defending herself against would-be rapist? Welcome to Europe!

In the Danish city of Sønderborg, which skirts the border of Denmark and Germany, a seventeen-year-old girl was walking near the local migrant center when she was grabbed and thrown to the ground by a man who then attempted to undress her.
