A summer of discontent for Canada’s conservatives

A summer of discontent for Canada’s conservatives Is this a summer of discontent for the country’s conservatives? Look around. In three provinces, parties that call themselves Progressive Conservative are leaderless and adrift. Nationally, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have been running second to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in all but seven of 63 polls published by several different firms in the last 15 months. The most recent one, published last week by Abacus Data, found the Tories trailing the Grits by three points. Abacus also reported this remarkable statistic: 13% — or better than one in ten — of the 5.8 million Canadians… View Article

Government bracing for court battles over navigable waterways The federal government is girding for yet more court battles, this time involving waterways used by boaters, cottagers and First Nations, according to a document obtained by CBC News.

Harper riles Alberta, Quebec

Harper riles Alberta, Quebec with regulator plan, Mulcair says at Stampede NDP Leader Tom Mulcair scoffed at the notion of Stephen Harper as a champion of national unity Saturday, saying the prime minister is no friend to Quebec – or Alberta – on issues such as a proposed national securities regulator. At his riding association’s annual Stampede barbecue last weekend, Harper touted the Parti Quebecois’ defeat in the provincial election this spring and said the “gradual decline” of separatism under his government “is something we should take pride in.” But Mulcair, in Calgary for the Stampede, said Harper “is kidding… View Article

Trump: ‘A Country That Cannot Protect Its Borders Will Not Last’

Trump: ‘A Country That Cannot Protect Its Borders Will Not Last’ Our government should immediately stop sending money to Mexico. USMC Sgt. Tahmooressi sacrified for our country, and while Obama is welcoming illegals, our Marine is locked in a Mexican jail. Mexico is allowing tens of thousands to go through their country and to our very stupid “open door” at the Mexican border. Frankly, Sgt. Tahmooressi is the only person who can’t come into our country! What is wrong with this picture? It’s clear to me that a country that cannot protect its borders will not last. What about the… View Article

Marc Emery, the ‘prince of pot,’ may be a liability for the Liberals Emery plans to hold rallies in 30 Canadian cities to stir up support for Trudeau Marc Emery, the so-called “prince of pot” who has vowed to campaign across the country for Justin Trudeau, could already be getting the brush off from Liberals, who despite their leader’s call for the legalization of marijuana, may not want to be linked to the controversial activist. “Political parties don’t as a rule like to be associated with controversial figures, especially those who have served jail time,” political strategist Marcel Wieder said….
