Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s projected victory in Canada’s 2021 federal election gives him another chance to fulfil the promise of a $10-a-day child-care system and take a shot at taming the country’s housing woes.
Trudeau is now projected to continue on as Canada’s prime minister, although at the head of a minority government and with an electoral result very close to that of the 2019 federal vote.
We’re all gonna be poorer, well not all of us. The political and corporate class will grow fat on our blood.
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole steered his party back toward the ideological centre of Canadian politics in 2021 and made this shift a key selling point during the five-week election campaign.
But it was not enough to win Canada’s 44th general election as Justin Trudeau’s Liberals will form the next government.
While Mr. O’Toole’s restyling of the Conservatives resulted in few gains, with projections of only a handful of extra seats at most, his party did hold Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals to another minority government.
What is there to say?
I voted PPC.
The party formerly called Conservative is now remade as a centre-left ersatz alternative to the Liberal Party proving O’Toole is a successful leader, just not a conservative one.
They should rebrand and remove “conservative” from the party name. Clearly the brain trust believes O’Toole and their newly scrubbed ideology to be the party’s future so they may as well ride that pony into the sunset. Given the CPC’s knack for shooting themselves in the foot I’m sure they could find an even worse replacement so what’s the point of even trying. Sphincter relaxant all round!
The PPC increased it’s vote share while winning no seats. They have I hope the determination to stay the course.
Alberta should give serious consideration to leaving as the ex-Conservative party cannot help them. Either that or we nuke Toronto and Montreal. We should probably do that anyway come to think of it.
The predator class won, we lost. No more need be said.
Many are calling for O’Toole’s head on Twitter. They best learn to live with him or find another political home. The CPC is no more.
O'Toole ended up losing seats after swinging hard-left.
Ont. reports fewer than 600 new COVID-19 infections as daily case counts appear to level off
Fewer than 600 new COVID-19 infections were reported in Ontario today, continuing a trend that appears to show daily case counts plateauing in the province.
Provincial health officials logged 574 new COVID-19 cases today, on par with the 577 reported one week ago.
Your passport pleeze!
🚨Starting on September 22 (tomorrow), proof of vaccination will be required to enter indoor public settings in the province of Ontario.🚨

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted on Monday that illegal aliens pouring across the southern U.S. border are not subject to the same COVID-19 restrictions as foreign travelers coming into the states.
The Islamic State’s Khorasan Province has claimed responsibility for a series of bombings that targeted Taliban convoys throughout the city of Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province. The group claims that 35 Taliban members were killed or wounded in the attacks, though the casualty figures could not be independently verified.
This weekend, crowds descended upon a Richmond Hill walk-in clinic where an apparent pandemic-skeptic doctor was said to be mass-issuing letters exempting patients from ongoing public health mandates.
On Saturday, York Medical, located on Yonge Street near Elgin Mills Road, attracted throngs that lined up around the block to see Dr. Christopher Hassell, who was alleged in a Twitter thread of using his medical authority to sidestep public health measures.
Communist dictatorships are marked by political purges and draconian edicts designed to control people’s lives to a totalitarian degree. Last week, President Joe Biden gave the American people both.
Pfizer said Monday its research shows its product works for children aged five to 11 and that it will also seek U.S. authorization for this age group soon — a key step toward protecting schoolchildren from the novel coronavirus.
The Hancock administration’s plan for the Street Enforcement Team, which staffers likened to park rangers when it was unveiled in July, is to give its members authority to enforce and issue citations for twenty laws, including ones generally associated with people experiencing homelessness, such as unauthorized camping, public urination, trespassing and obstruction of the public right-of-way. The team will also be able to issue citations for failure to obey a lawful order, providing false information and violating court orders.
As I predicted at the top of this weekend’s Mark Steyn Show, just in time for today’s election in Canada Justin Trudeau is back in black. A new photograph has emerged (right) of the Peter Pancake of northern politics in blackface, black arms, black legs, black torso (though no word on whether the banana stuffed down his pants has also been dunked in a vat of Kiwi).
Following a week of missteps for the Biden administration, some are questioning, who is making the decisions? Biden’s aides are at liberty to cut his microphone when the president veers off-script; and Biden himself has joked that he’ll “get in trouble” for taking reporters’ questions.
“Well, I would say it’s a disturbing pattern, where it seems they cut off his microphone any time he might say something that his handlers don’t want,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.
How will businesses deal with COVID going forward?
Despite the fact that we’ve been dealing with COVID-19 for almost two years, some small businesses in Canada continue to enforce restrictive health measures on their customers.
Jack M. Mintz: The separatist impulse — in Canada and abroad
Alberta wants a fair deal from Canada, but can’t seem to get one. Should it build a firewall? Stop trying? Separate? This is one of a series of opinion pieces adapted from the new book, “Moment of Truth: How to Think About Alberta’s Future,” in which some of Canada’s most respected thinkers on the subject debate what the best next steps are for Alberta — and for Canada.
Major Toronto road to be closed for a huge street party next weekend
ActiveArtsTO will shut down a portion of Lake Shore Boulevard West between Windemere Avenue and Strachan Avenue next Sunday for a massive street festival.
The festival will be closing 5 km of the major road and will be filled with pop-up art installations, sport, music, and dance demos, a roller-skating party, and more. There will also be a DJ to keep the party going.
‘Buck, wild crazy!’ Illegals have free plane tickets to go all over the US
A US citizen who had trouble getting into the US was stunned when he arrived at the McAllen airport. What he found was foreigners, only foreigners, who could not speak English. (Watch every clip. One is more horrifying than the next.)
Not a single person could speak English, nor did they have a single piece of luggage. Each group had a red, green, or brown envelope allowing them to travel for free all over the U.S.
Potty-trained cattle could help reduce pollution
Researchers in Germany successfully trained cows to use a small, fenced-in area with artificial turf flooring as a bathroom stall. This could allow farms to easily capture and treat cow urine, which often pollutes air, soil and water, researchers report online September 13 in Current Biology. Components of that urine, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, could also be used to make fertilizer (SN: 4/6/21).
State Supreme Court Clears the Way for Full Reversal of a Derek Chauvin Murder Conviction
One of the murder convictions against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is likely to be thrown out after a decision last week by the Minnesota Supreme Court.
The Biden administration’s shift from denying to imposing a vaccine mandate may be a historic blunder with profound consequences. Done in haste, it jeopardizes the stratospheric levels of support for Democrats among African Americans.
In the wake of the shameful surrender of Afghanistan, a vaccination mandate might have seemed the perfect vehicle to divert attention to a new subject and assert tribal loyalties against stereotypes of Republicans and Trump fans. Biden’s controllers apparently concluded that demonization of the vaccine-hesitant would work to drive support its way because (in their minds) it is mainly deplorable Trump-supporters who are reluctant.
Welcome to Telosa, a $400bn “city of the future,” according to its founder, the billionaire Marc Lore. The city doesn’t exist yet, nor is it clear which state will house the experiment, but the architects of the proposed 150,000-acre project are scouting the American south-west. They’re already predicting the first residents can move in by 2030.
Telosa will eventually house 5 million people, according to its website, and benefit from a halo of utopian promises: avant-garde architecture, drought resistance, minimal environmental impact, communal resources. This hypothetical metropolis promises to take some of the most cutting-edge ideas about sustainability and urban design and make them reality.
