338Canada: Trudeau, Poilievre and a standstill battle for momentum
MONTREAL, Que. — We are stalled in the status quo, somehow.
The re-energized Conservatives have a new leader at the helm while the Liberals are being blamed for the cost of living and rising interest rates against a stream of headlines from the Emergencies Act inquiry.
Even so, two new polls find the Liberals and Conservatives deadlocked.
What the Palestinians Need Now
Under the kleptocratic Palestinian Authority (PA) and the theocratic Hamas regimes, Palestinians have no freedom of speech and no independent or free media.
Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip live under two regimes that crack down on critics, and imprison and intimidate journalists, human rights activists and political opponents. Those who dare to criticize the Palestinian Authority or Hamas often face various forms of punishment, including torture and incarceration.

Musk tells Twitter staff remote working will end
Elon Musk has told Twitter staff that remote working will end and “difficult times” lie ahead, according to reports.
In an email to staff, the owner of the social media firm said workers would be expected in the office for at least 40 hours a week, Bloomberg reported.

Big Tits Teacher AOK With Degenerate School Board
Ontario school board says imposing dress code on teachers could open up lawsuits

Inflation, COVID-19 holding Canadians back from holiday travel, poll suggests
High inflation and COVID-19 are dampening some Canadians’ hopes for travelling as the holiday season approaches, a new poll indicates.
Right now, 77 per cent of 1,001 Canadians Ipsos surveyed exclusively for Global News in October said they’re comfortable travelling within Canada over the holidays, while 55 per cent said the same for international travel.
Not all Canadians: Trudeau will miss Remembrance Day ceremony for holiday in Cambodia
Rex Murphy: Freedom Convoy was perfectly Canadian in its moderation
The Inquiry into the calling out of the Emergencies Act. Why are we having it? I know they are hearing witnesses.
And I also know we’re hearing of noise-making, some traffic-jams, proven false-alarms of attempted arson, general discomfiture. Likewise we are hearing of confused and mixed reactions from the various security and police forces. With no intention of taking a jab at them, they, the forces of the law, were under confused command and mixed directions. It’s easy to jump on the people in uniform, but (a) we aren’t them, and (b) they are faithful to the various directions given them.
Couple accused of selling nuclear-related secrets receives longer jail sentences from judge
Diana Toebbe, 46, concocted a false narrative about a plot to sell secrets involving submarine nuclear propulsion systems to a foreign country in an attempt to pin the crime solely on her husband and avoid prison time for herself, a federal judge said Wednesday before sentencing Toebbe to 21 years in prison.
Her attorney cast her husband, 43-year-old Jonathan Toebbe, a former nuclear engineer for the US Navy, as the “brainchild” of a “cover plan” to spare his wife in order to have a parent available to care for the couple’s children but the judge said Diana Toebbe deserved an enhanced sentence.
Democrats Crypto kingpin a fraud
Crypto megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried helped bankroll Democrats’ overperformance in the midterms. But any friends he may have had in Washington won’t be there for him as his crumbling business empire threatens to torpedo the entire digital currency market.
Bankman-Fried’s Washington influence — as well as billions of dollars of his personal wealth — nearly vanished in the span of 48 hours, after it emerged that the giant crypto exchange he founded was insolvent and unable to meet customer withdrawals.
State and federal regulators are now investigating the exchange, FTX, to determine whether it may have harmed clients or broken other financial regulations. An emergency rescue from competing digital asset exchange Binance fell apart after the company dug into FTX’s financials and investigators circled.
Crypto – The biggest confidence grift of all time.
White Bigots Boycott Against Dave Chappelle?
If that’s true, Page Six left out the most important part. All three of SNL’s senior staff writers are white people, which in itself should be problematic for the woke show. Why is the writing staff so white in the first place, and why are white people trying to censor or harm a black man? That seems racist to me.
Court Rules Trudeau Funded So-Called “Canadian Anti-Hate Network” Does Assist Violent Antifa Movement
A good day for Canadians.
In 2019 I was sued for libel by a director of @antihateca. He claimed @BarbaraRKay & I linked CAHN to "violent antifa.” Judgment released today: Claim dismissed. Judge: (1) CAHN *does* assist antifa; (2) CAHN director has used courts to stifle detractors (tho failed in this case) pic.twitter.com/2mVpwG6k6w

Trump Wrongly Blamed for Subpar GOP Performance
The Republicans had a pretty good midterm election despite what pundits are claiming. The GOP must win three of the remaining four Senate races to win control of the upper chamber — a goal well within reach as Republicans lead in Nevada and Wisconsin. And the party is within spitting distance of a House majority.
