GUNTER: Democrats’ election strategies won’t work for Liberals here

On Tuesday, the night of the U.S. election, David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s chief political strategist through two campaigns, told CNN that the Democrats lost so badly because they had lost touch with ordinary people.

“We approach working-class voters as though we were missionaries. And our message to them is ‘We want to help you become just like us.’”

Canadians think there is not enough pride in the country’s military: poll

A large majority of Canadians will be observing Remembrance Day this year, most by wearing a poppy, but Quebecers tend to be less likely to observe the national day of remembrance than Canadians in other provinces, says a new poll.

The Postmedia-Leger poll looked at Canadians’ pride in the military, treatment of veterans and Remembrance Day.

It’s pretty obvious Trudeau and his government despise Canada’s military and its history, they turned the armed forces into a haven for cross-dressers and racist DEI cranks.

SNOBELEN: Trudeau’s parallels with Biden’s Democrats will doom Liberals

This week my thoughts travelled back a few decades to a long drink of a man I knew well. Sam was rail thin with a shoe-leather face and big, working hands. The smile lines on his face were deep and gave a hint of a big heart and generous soul.

Sam was from Arkansas. He was a working man his whole life. Of course, he was a Democrat.

Ahead of Remembrance Day, Poll suggests most Canadians don’t know much about their history … It’s a real mystery alright

 

Ahead of Remembrance Day, poll suggests most Canadians don’t know much about their history

As people gather to remember those who fought and died to protect this country in past wars, a new poll suggests many Canadians know little about their country’s history.

That’s likely because high school students in most provinces and territories are not required to take a Canadian history class before graduating, experts say.

Many Canadians are in the dark about the people who helped build this country and the seminal moments that define its past and could inform its future, according to an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Historica Canada — the educational charity best known for producing the Heritage Minutes.

Who should lead the Liberals? ‘None of the above,’ poll finds

The survey offered people a selection of potential candidates to lead the party, including the current leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and a range of cabinet ministers and other high-profile Canadians. Of those polled, most selected “none of the above.”

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada still hasn’t learned from Winnipeg-Wuhan lab incident

Canadian public health authorities didn’t have to let the Wuhan Institute of Virology infiltrate and co-opt our country’s highest-security biolab. The warning signs had been there for years, and no one to our knowledge was holding a gun to the heads of the rubber-stampers who authorized a security-threat-flagged scientist’s shipment of live Ebola back to the motherland.

Lévêque would not name any of the countries in question, citing the confidential nature of diplomatic conversations.

Gary Mauser: Do Canadians Have the Right to Carry Arms?

Canadians are worried about being victimized by violent criminals, according to a national survey recently released by the Canadian government. Unlike Americans, Canadians often lack the means to defend themselves against unprovoked attacks by strangers or in violent home invasions, even though the controversial law permits a robust self defence.
Both Canada and the United States inherited the right to bear arms found in the English Magna Carta of 1689, but, despite this common heritage, their paths diverged widely since their founding. While the American Constitution protects the right to bear arms, Canadian elites effectively surrendered this basic right. Canadian elites gradually abandoned their duty to uphold the basic rights outlined in the Magna Carta, despite widespread popular support for the right to bear arms. This summary is drawn from a series of articles published in the Dorchester Review.
