Pierre Poilievre’s populism – taking his party “from suits to boots,” as he smartly puts it – has struck a chord. He’s riding a wave. He crushed the field in the Conservative leadership campaign. The inflation surge has the population angry, seemingly ready for change. And he’s the self-proclaimed tribune of the underclass ready to bring it.
But there’s a problem. The new leader’s timing is way off. With an election two or, more likely, three years away, his momentum now means next to nothing.
Radical populists will ‘freeze’ the asylum system
Sweden’s radical right is demanding measures to deport foreign criminals, strip gang members of their citizenship and “freeze” the asylum system as its price for propping up a conservative-led government.
The country is poised for a sharp swing to the right after the populist Sweden Democrats came second in the general election on Sunday, establishing themselves as kingmakers in a finely balanced parliament. After three decades of being shut out by mainstream parties, they have been invited to join coalition talks for the first time.
The head of the Alberta Human Rights Commission is refusing to quit despite public direction from Justice Minister Tyler Shandro to do so over a passage in a book review that has been criticized as Islamophobic.
Lawyer Kathryn Marshall tweeted Thursday that she has been retained by human rights chief Collin May, adding: “He will not be resigning.”
Marshall said further details will come out later.
Shandro’s office declined to comment.
Islam murders apostates. It is a death cult.
Give Pierre Poilievre credit for running one of the most successful political leadership campaigns in Canadian history.
His overwhelming victory in the Conservative leadership race in which he captured nearly 70 per cent of the votes on the first and only ballot is a clear sign of his strategic smarts, his ability to energize his followers and of his team’s organizational skills in signing up hundreds of thousands of new party members.

One of the more brazen instances of dodgy Khomeinist big shots coming and going from Canada as if they were just regular visitors and as if Iran were a normal country and not a tyrannical terror state involves the former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps brigadier Ali Reza Razm Hosseini.
.@barbaraslavin1, Look into the eyes of this young Iranian girl. Mahsa Amini is in a coma after being beaten by morality police for inappropriate hijab. Tens of women are in jail. Now listen to yourself again to understand why we are fed up with those normalizing our oppressors. https://t.co/P7iWGDtrny pic.twitter.com/COHcOmCvjH

China, not the US, is now the world’s biggest emitter
Hailed as America’s first comprehensive climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed by President Biden earlier this summer. It had been thirty years and sixty-five days since President George H.W. Bush signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Rio de Janeiro. The UNFCCC’s objective was to stabilize concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere “at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system,” a threshold that the convention left undefined.
Banned Books Week is coming to K-12 schools and city libraries across the nation September 18-24. This is a time for librarians to promote books that have been challenged for offensive content, such as sexually explicit writing and images, the promotion of so-called transgender lifestyles, and child sexual abuse.
The founder of Russia’s shadowy Wagner mercenary group has appeared in leaked footage attempting to recruit prisoners to fight in Ukraine.
In filmed footage, verified by the BBC, Yevgeniy Prigozhin can be seen addressing a large group of detainees.
Mr Prigozhin told prisoners their sentences would be commuted in exchange for service with his group.
The video would confirm long-running speculation that Russia hopes to boost its forces by recruiting convicts.
As Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas prepares to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York later this month, there are increased signs that his loyalists are engaged in terrorist attacks against Israel.
As he has done in the past, Abbas will undoubtedly again use the UN podium to affirm his keenness for making peace with Israel and his opposition to terrorism and violence. Needless to say, he is also expected to exploit the international platform to spew more incitement, lies and blood libels against Israel and Jews.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids will not be given His and Her Royal Highness titles — leaving the exiled couple once again “furious” at the royal family over the snub, according to a report.
Harry’s dad, the new King Charles III, has agreed to soon bestow the titles of prince and princess on his California-based grandkids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, according to the Sun.
Twilio, a cloud communications company that provides messaging systems for businesses like Lyft, Netflix, and Airbnb, has had a bad couple of months. In August, the company lost 18 percent of its value as earnings failed to match forecasts. The company also suffered a serious security breach in August that may have impacted its best customers.
According to documents obtained by The Daily Mail, President Joe Biden’s son Hunter is attempting to lower his child support payments to the mother of his illegitimate child, Lunden Roberts. According to those same documents, Hunter filed a motion to “adjust child support Monday, citing ‘a substantial material change’ in his ‘financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income’” according to The Daily Mail.
Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election — according to sources within the Department of Justice.
Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.
In his first speech to caucus as new Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre denounced the “radical woke coalition” running Canada – a reference to the Liberal-NDP agreement to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power until at least 2025.
When asked by the CBC about the term “radical woke coalition,” Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault responded “frankly, I don’t know what it means to be woke.”
