As I’ve said a fair bit throughout the day, I know that the aftermath of mass shootings results in calls for gun control. What happened in Minneapolis doesn’t even really rise to the typical standard of a mass shooting, but two kids are dead and 17 other people were wounded, which means it’s bad enough that I won’t get into semantics right now.
Former NDP staffer Cam Holmstrom says New Democrats need a moderate leader who can ‘counterbalance’ the further-left bent of the party and speak to Canadians’ everyday issues.
A defeated NDP means labour, progressive movements have to ‘fill that void,’ says CUPE head Hancock
In the wake of a weakened NDP, progressive groups and labour movements need to be louder in their push back against Prime Minister Mark Carney, says Canadian Union of Public Employees national president Mark Hancock, and one national progressive movement is taking up the call, protesting what one organizer is calling the “very dangerous expansion of Trump-like policies in Canada.”
UPDATE: The frontpages for the NatPo and Toronto Sun load but clicking a story link will result in a timeout.
Post Media owners of the NatPo , The Sun Chain, Ottawa Citizen etc are all down and have been for several hours now. If not a technical glitch that’s gotta be one hell of an attack.
This is what you get after a site fails to load.
What this means is the link you click in a post will not load if it a Post Media story.
Thanks for your patience.
Robert Westman. Otherwise known as “Robin.” Does that name ring a bell? He was the hate-filled, anti-Christian transgendered coward who murdered three children and three adults at the Covenant School in Nashville. For years, Nashville law enforcement and the court system conspired to keep the shooter’s 100-plus pages of writings under lock and key, until the FBI released them earlier this year.
It was reported recently that Quebec’s liquor board, the SAQ, will be giving away about $300,000 worth of American alcoholic beverages that are nearing expiry. The initial plan was to discard the stock, but public pressure forced a reversal.
In a province long associated with milk dumping due to supply management, rescuing American booze from the same fate is nothing short of ironic.
Aging, left-wing rocker Neil Young released an anti-Trump song bashing President Donald Trump’s “Make America Safe Again” campaign, even though crime in Washington D.C. is falling, so much so that the city’s Democrat mayor has thanked the president.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposed Criminal Code amendment to strengthen legal protections for Canadians defending their homes would offer no real benefit, criminal law experts say.
His demands come in light of a 44-year-old man from Lindsay, Ont., being charged for allegedly attacking a home intruder. On Friday, Poilievre pounced on the moment to suggest amending the Criminal Code so use of force against a person who illegally enters a home and poses a threat to those inside is presumed reasonable.
But criminal law experts say Canadian law already favours homeowners in home invasion cases, so Poilievre’s idea does nothing to enhance their protection from criminal charges.
You break into someone’s home you should expect to be dead.
This @PierrePoilievre & CPC initiative falls way short.
In Canada you can’t legally possess anything – bat, knife, pepper spray, firearm – for the purpose of defence.
That bat by your bed? Legal for baseball. Admit it’s for defence – you’ve committed a crime.
Fix that Pierre,… https://t.co/2yl8P6EaNZ

Britain has welcomed Turkish transgender drag queens on special visas for “global talent”, The Telegraph can reveal.
The “Global Talent visa” permits recipients to stay in the UK for five years along with their dependents, and is intended to bring the very best creatives to the country.
Applicants must have their claimed artist merit endorsed by the Arts Council before visas are ultimately signed off by the Home Office.
Members of the Jewish community and former parliamentarians are calling for Ontario restaurateur Mohamad Fakih to lose his Order of Canada honour after he wrote that Canadian supporters of Israel “do not have basic human values.”
“Three parties. Three regions. One shared belief: the Order of Canada must reflect the values that unite us,” reads a letter from former Progressive Conservative of Ontario MPP Lisa MacLeod, former B.C. NDP MLA and cabinet minister Selina Robinson and former Liberal MP Kevin Vuong, that was published on social media Friday afternoon.
The guy is a pretty big Liberal Donor is he not? He’ll get to keep his bauble. And really who cares? It’s so degraded it no longer holds any significance.
It’s the elite version of the participation ribbon awarded by the same people to the same people who poisoned Canada with multiculturalism, diversity, and mass immigration from incompatible cultures.
Years after a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a young Florida couple in 2019, crucial electronic data detailing how the fatal wreck unfolded was missing. The information was key for a wrongful death case the survivor and the victim’s family were building against Tesla, but the company said it didn’t have the data.
Then a self-described hacker, enlisted by the plaintiffs to decode the contents of a chip they recovered from the vehicle, found it while sipping a Venti-size hot chocolate at a South Florida Starbucks. Tesla later said in court that it had the data on its own servers all along.
In my family, it was always the “kosher Loblaws.” Featuring Ottawa’s only large kosher food section, the Loblaws location at College Square in the west end of the city is our destination several times per week for everything from groceries, to prescription refills, to challah bread for Shabbat. As the only such store in Ottawa, it serves as both a place to see familiar faces and a reminder of the small size of the Jewish community here.
This is a column by Michael Geist a TDS sufferer who I suspect still doesn’t regret his support for Muslim immigration and open borders in general: Never Again – A Comment on U.S. Immigration and The Need for a Canadian Response
Not once does he use the words Islam or Muslims in his column instead his focus is on a 71 year old nutter because he’s somehow the backbone of antisemitism in Canada.
Does he get that his high minded virtue signaling for Muslim immigration, his imagined moral superiority has put not just the Jewish community but all of us in danger?
How is it that university professors can be so arrogant and so stupid?
This week, new regulations on the departure of young Ukrainian men, who might be subject to military conscription, came into force in Ukraine.
If they are under 22, they can now cross the border unhindered. “We want Ukrainians to maintain as many ties with Ukraine as possible,” Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said about the rule change.
Previously men aged between 18 and 60 had not been allowed to leave Ukraine. That’s because they might eventually be drafted into the army and the grinding fight against Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022.
WARMINGTON: Catching wild shooters in Muskoka should be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel
The MacTier shooters have showed up every weekend this summer and left behind thousands of bullet holes and spent shell casings to highlight that.
It’s something many in the Georgian Bay and Muskoka region are wondering. It would not surprise members of a local snowmobile club who have been complaining about these reckless gunmen for two years.
Police just can’t catch these guys! They must be like super criminals!
WOW – These videos are from MUSKOKA…..
Peaceful Ontario Cottage country.

A US appeals court has ruled that most tariffs issued by US President Donald Trump are illegal, setting up a potential legal showdown that could upend his foreign policy agenda.
The ruling affects Trump’s so-called “reciprocal” tariffs, imposed on most countries around the world, as well as other tariffs slapped on China, Mexico and Canada.
In a 7-4 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected Trump’s argument that the tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act, calling them “invalid as contrary to law”.
The ruling will not take effect until 14 October, to give the administration time to ask the US Supreme Court to take up the case.
Soon, Canadians will reflect on the period in Canada between former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s prorogation of Parliament in January 2025, to the end of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s summer vacation this Sept. 15 — far from the reality of an in-session Parliament — as a sort of Canadian political furlough.
