Liberal party under fire as more questions raised about Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination fight

Nate Erskine-Smith’s appeal of a weekend nomination in Scarborough Southwest has sparked mockery of the Liberals just as the beleaguered party has been enjoying an uptick in the polls.

It has also fuelled questions as to why the Beaches—East York Liberal MP — whose own 2014 federal nomination win was challenged — and his team didn’t publicly raise concerns during the meeting Saturday.

Stung after narrowly losing to Ahsanul Hafiz, owner of 30 Domino’s Pizza franchises, Erskine-Smith alleged “serious irregularities” in the balloting, such as voters using “Amazon orders” and refugee claimant papers as identification.


This is just business as usual for the Liberals.

Xi confronts Trump over Taiwan

Xi confronts Trump over Taiwan

China could go to war with the United States over Taiwan, Xi Jinping warned in a tense start to Donald Trump’s state visit.

The Chinese president said the disputed territory was the “most important issue in China-US relations” in comments released by state media on Thursday.

“If it is handled well, bilateral relations can remain generally stable. If it is not handled properly, the two countries could collide or even come into conflict,” he said. That would be “very dangerous”.

America’s role as Canada’s culture-shaper is coming to an end

America’s role as Canada’s culture-shaper is coming to an end

In the United States, the life expectancy is 78.4 years. In Canada, it’s 82.2.

That would be a good statistic to insert into a response to America’s Canada-trashers, like Ambassador Pete Hoekstra or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. A line like: “Dear Americans, if you want to live several years longer, move to Canada.”

It’s a telling statistic. In the debate in Carneyland over the need to turn away from the United States and broaden relations with Europe and elsewhere, the focus has been on the imperative of lessening reliance on American trade and defence.


Hollywood’s clout is in well noted decline primarily because it has become un-American.

TDS bash all you want but Trump is making America far more free and far better off economically than Canada.

The tasks are measured by how long each one would take a skilled human.

GOLDSTEIN: It’s as if the foreign interference inquiry never happened

Has the federal government learned nothing from Canada’s foreign interference inquiry?

More than five years after the previous Justin Trudeau regime first claimed to be “actively considering” a foreign lobbyists’ registry (officially the Foreign Influence Transparency Registry) in February 2021, Canada still doesn’t have one.

Palestinian Leaders Still Reject Israel’s Right to Exist

Palestinian Leaders Still Reject Israel’s Right to Exist

On May 11 and 12, the Palestinian Authority organized mass rallies across the West Bank to commemorate the “Nakba” (“catastrophe”) — the term Palestinians use to describe the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched through the streets of Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians, waving flags, carrying “keys of return,” and chanting slogans such as “We live a new Nakba every day” and “We will never forget the right of return.”

Former imam sentenced to life for sexual assaults

A “cunning” and “manipulative” former imam in east London has been given a life sentence with a minimum prison term of 20 years for a series of sexual attacks on women and girls as young as 12.

Abdul Halim Khan, 54, was described as having abused the trust and authority that came with his position to carry out attacks against seven victims from the local Muslim community between 2005 and 2014.

Sentencing him, Judge Leslie Cuthbert described Khan’s “deliberate distortion of the Muslim faith”.


That judge is very weak on Islam.

Canada’s auto industry at ‘inflection point’ dependant on U.S. free trade: report

Canada’s auto industry at ‘inflection point’ dependant on U.S. free trade: report

Canada’s auto industry is at an “inflection point” and a new report suggests its future success hinges on restoring free trade with the U.S.

The report by RBC, released Tuesday, looked at four paths to determine options the industry could take, but also the trade-offs that would come with them.

“Canada is at a strategic crossroads when it comes to the future of its auto industry and essential to that future is securing free trade with the United States,” said Jordan Brennan, managing director at RBC Thought Leadership and author of the report, in an interview.


If Trump accomplishes his promise and reshores assembly then Canada can look forward to cleaning up Chinese EV fires.
