The Trudeau Liberals have failed Canada’s middle class.
On taxes, housing, employment, economic growth, health care and income, ordinary working Canadians are worse off than they were in 2015 when the Liberals took over.
ANDRUS: The childminders are not ok
Ottawa’s $10-a-day Early Learning and Childcare Program was designed to ease the financial burden on families, but in Alberta — and across the country — it has (predictably) turned into a nightmare for childcare operators and families.
The Association of Alberta Childcare Entrepreneurs (AACE) is urging the Alberta government to find a way out before it’s too late. Just three years into the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, childcare operators are facing unprecedented financial strain, with many on the brink of closure. What was promised as affordable and accessible child care has instead become a government-driven disaster threatening to collapse Alberta’s childcare system.
Food bank temporarily turns people away after running out of food
Summer is a time when many people take a break, but a local food bank says they learned the hard way recently that hunger does not go on holiday.
The Salvation Army Food Bank in Brant County says it had to temporarily turn some people away from its Paris location because the shelves were empty.
They’ve since been restocked, but high demand means the supply may not last long.
The situation is more pronounced in the summer – a time of year where people don’t typically donate as often.

Jamie Sarkonak: ‘Positive masculinity’ hero Tim Walz earns his title just for showing up
Toxic masculinity may have been the ultimate villain of the 2010s. It underscored minor sex-based social transgressions — remember the great “manspreading” crisis (2014–2017) and its relative, the “mansplaining” scare? — and was a factor in Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes, which prompted the #MeToo movement.
Finally, we have the preferred, softer substitute: positive masculinity. It lives, according to Newsweek’s Alyce Collins, in the form of one Timothy James Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate and foil to socially conservative Republican men.
WTF?
Far-left DNC protester says he supports h*mas and their actions on Oct 7th where they m*rder*d, r*ped, kidnapped, and tortured over 1,000 men, women, and children including Americans.

Stupid things Andrew Coyne says
Conservatives should have no difficulty voting for Harris
Among the roster of speakers at this year’s Democratic National Convention are several representatives of a demographic group not traditionally considered part of the Democratic coalition: Republicans.
They include former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, former Lieutenant-Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan, and former White House officials Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye. But the list of prominent conservatives and Republicans to have endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is a lot longer.
Incurable TDS.

Evidence for UFOs is mounting. But some Christians worry they’re demonic. How can we discern the truth?
Every so often, our conception of reality gets turned upside down.
During the Copernican revolution human beings discovered the universe does not revolve around them. Even in the face of paradigm-shifting data such as this, our species has the ability to make the necessary epistemological adjustments and carry on with life. It is a virtue to be open to scientific discoveries, even the ones that stretch our imaginations.
Are we on the brink of yet another revolution? A passing glance at the news betrays a narrative that is rather suggestive in this regard – a narrative that feels repulsive to our common sense but no less interesting at the same time. I am talking about UFOs.
Former Pentagon official @LueElizondo tells @RossCoulthart the U.S. has a UFO-crash retrieval program and has recovered non-human bodies. See the full prime time exclusive on Friday, Aug. 23 at 9p/8C

I Investigated UAPs at the Pentagon—Americans Can Handle the Truth
I’m Luis Elizondo, a former senior intelligence official with the United States government. Currently, I continue to provide advice and assistance to the U.S. government while also publicly advocating for increased transparency and disclosure regarding the topic of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).
I was never particularly interested in UFOs or science fiction. My background is in science—I graduated from the University of Miami with majors in microbiology and immunology, with studies in parasitology.
The scientific method has always been one of my core tenets. After my time in the Army, I served as a special agent in counterintelligence, investigating terrorism, espionage, and other serious crimes. I’ve always been a fact and rule-based person.
How Trump Can Win (Or Lose)
Trump has truth and an admirable record on his side, while his opponent is part of a failed presidency. Stick to the facts!
I’m in the camp that believes that the presidential election is Donald Trump’s to win or lose.
It’s a simple calculus: The undemocratically nominated Kamala Harris (how many Democrats voted for her and how many primary elections did she win?) has been a key part of an administration under which many Americans have not fared well.
CUPE demands resignation of Creepy As F*ck vice-president Fred Hahn for posting ‘antisemitic’ video
The Canadian Union of Public Employees has “lost confidence” in national vice-president Fred Hahn and is demanding his resignation after he posted a video widely denounced as antisemitic.
“We’ve given him pretty strong direction,” CUPE national president Mark Hancock told the Star in an interview Wednesday, a day after the union’s executive board met over the growing controversy surrounding Hahn.

Jesse Kline: The Canadian terrorist supporter who Iran loves
There are some awards that should give recipients pause and make them reconsider their life choices. Like receiving a Razzie Award for worst actor, a Grand Cross of the German Eagle from the Nazis or a human rights award from the Islamic Republic of Iran. But for Canadian terror apologist Charlotte Kates, the Iranian regime’s recognition of her anti-Israel campaign is considered a badge of honour.
Pogrom at Kibbutz Be’eri: Jews Under Fire
“As word came that murderous hordes were approaching, the Jews attempted to flee. Those who could not, barricaded themselves indoors and prayed for a miracle.”
This moving narrative describes not the shocking events of October 7, 2023, at Kibbutz Be’eri and other communities in Israel, but the massacre of eastern European Jews nearly 400 years earlier by Cossacks during the 1648 Khmelnitsky pogroms, in what is now Ukraine.
John Robson: What Milton Friedman Said 5 Decades Ago About Government Spending Still Holds True Today
A friend’s mother was fond of saying there’s no good way to do a bad thing, and no bad time to do a good one. It’s true of public policy as of life generally, which is why both the public and politicians should talk more about principles and less about motives or tactics. And just as I was wrestling with applying this maxim to the current fiscal mess, someone Xed the classic Milton Friedman line to “Keep your eye on how much the Government is spending, because that is the true tax.”
Worst Media Outburst of the DNC, Night Two: Wagner Claims Trumpers Fear Harris Will End ‘White Patriarchy’
It’s a challenging task but we here at NewsBusters are going to try to sift through all the crazy, angry and ridiculous observations made by leftist journalists every night of the Democratic National Convention coverage and pick one for Worst of the Night.
So without further ado, the Worst Media Outburst for Tuesday night goes to MSNBC anchor Alex Wagner for excitedly proclaiming the idea of a President Kamala Harris has to be “distressing” if you are “a part of the white patriarchy like Donald Trump” and his “supporters.”
Montreal synagogue on Canada-wide list of threatened Jewish institutions
Montreal police (SPVM) says at least one synagogue in Montreal is on a list of more than 100 places of worship across Canada that received a threatening email Wednesday morning.
The force received a 911 call at 7:10 a.m. about the email, which was received at 5 a.m., and officers are currently onsite at Adath Israel Poale Zedek Anshei Ozeroff on Harrow Crescent in Hampstead.
Probably White Supremacists.
