Losing majority with hysterical dignity? Trudeau’s ‘victory speech’ turns into scandal, as he jumps on stage interrupting rival
The series of campaigning cycle scandals in Canada spilled over into election night when Justin Trudeau took to the stage to deliver his victory speech while his main rival Andrew Scheer was still addressing his supporters.
The Liberals managed to retain in power in a narrow election win getting 157 seats of 338, according to Elections Canada.
Even though the result put Trudeau’s party far short of the 170 seats needed for a majority government, he was apparently too impatient to make his triumphant appearance. While Conservative candidate Andrew Scheer was giving a speech thanking his supporters, Trudeau walked on stage, breaking into Scheer’s speech, forcing news networks to switch all attention to him. Some anchors said they and their studio guests were "shocked" and "mystified" with Trudeau’s move. Global News’ anchor called this "unprecedented" and explained the choice of switching to his speech solely by the fact he got more votes in the election.
CTV’s news anchor said: “It’s very unorthodox for one leader to start talking while another leader is still talking.” The channel later had to screen Andrew Scheer’s speech from where they had to cut it off in order to cross to Trudeau.

Alberta, welcome to your nightmare
Sad election. Pathetic election. Not an unexpected result.
Alberta, welcome to your nightmare. The worst case is the case.
Trudeau won.
You prayed for this not to happen and the people down east did not listen to your prayers.
You feared this day, you loathed the possibility, but the cold, cruel math doesn’t lie.
This is no sour grapes. They died on the vine when the polls during the ballot battle showed the Scheer Conservatives couldn’t move the dial their way.

All-time low share of popular vote is enough for Liberals to win power
It marks only the second time in Canada’s history that a governing party will take power with such a low share of the vote
The Liberal Party’s election victory was curious because its candidates took nearly half the seats with less than a third of the popular vote.
It marks only the second time in Canada’s history that a governing party will take power with such a low share of the vote. David Moscrop, a political theorist at the University of Ottawa, tweeted that “the last and only time a party has formed government with less than 35 percent of the national popular vote was John A. Macdonald in 1867 — with 34.8 percent.”

NDP destroys over $500M in wealth in just two days as second oil company posts losses
This time it was a company called CNRL (Canadian Natural Resources) reporting losses of $405 Million dollars last quarter thanks to the jacked up corporate tax rate brought in by the NDP.
It's hard to know who hates the oil sands the most, Rachel Notley, Brian Topp or Graham Mitchell, but in the past two days this team has effectively destroyed more than half a billion dollars in wealth and cost thousands of jobs. Some might see this as disastrous for Alberta and disastrous for Canada but to these anti-oil sands New Democrats, this is what victory looks like.

How the Alberta government is trying to downgrade the oilsands
Every Albertan should read the Document closely. It makes it abundantly clear that despite all the nice words that the Notley government has been throwing around in meetings with oil company executives and oil and gas investors, the oilsands have very little place in her administration’s vision of Alberta’s future.
On page 7 of the Document, we learn that “Alberta has much more to offer Canada and the world than its energy products.” Alberta, we are told, can “transition to a knowledge-based, lower-carbon economy.” On page 8 we’re told that the vision which belongs to “all Albertans” is one of “sustained” economic growth, and “steady” job-creation.Not a strong economy, not a booming economy, not Canada’s strongest economy, but one that is “sustained” and “steady.”
Digging into the Document, we find that in the entire section labelled “Alberta’s Vision,” the oilsands are not mentioned at all. But we should rejoice, because the Document goes on to tell us that “Reducing emissions does not mean halting all economic activity.” Rather, it envisions downshifting to something “sustainable” within a changing global market that, we’re told early in the report, doesn’t want high-carbon fuels any more.

Chief Cook
The tiny Semiahmoo First Nation in Surrey paid salaries to its chief and one of its councillors totalling nearly $460,000 in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The community of less than 100 joins a handful of other First Nations in British Columbia that have paid their chiefs exorbitant salaries, disclosed through now-required financial filings to the federal government.

ONLY ONE SECURITY OFFICER ON CAMPUS TODAY AND HE WAS UNARMED.
My message to the administration of this college:
* You disarmed the students with your gun free zone policy..
* Your ONE security guard on duty for a campus of 3000 students was unarmed..
* If you are going to disarm the students and faculty, then YOU are directly responsible for providing security for those people.
YOU FAILED.
* .. THE BLOOD OF THOSE DEAD STUDENTS IS ON YOUR HANDS.
At least 9 are dead.. Many more people wounded..

On October 9, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) released a revised report showing that 92% of mass public shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 took place in gun-free zones.
The CPRC report was released in response to an Everytown for Gun Safety study claiming only 14% of mass public shootings took place in gun-free zones. Everytown actually claimed 86% of such incidents occurred in places where guns were allowed.
CPRC showed that the 86% claim rests on Everytown’s “inclusion of attacks in private homes” and “numerous errors in identifying whether citizens can defend themselves.” For example, Everytown “[ignores] rules that prevent general citizens from carrying guns [for self-defense]” in certain cities, and they fail to recognize that “allowing police to carry guns is not the same thing as letting civilians defend themselves.”

Wayne LaPierre, NRA
Barack Obama, the candidate who promised Americans in 2008 that “I will not take your guns away,” now, as President of the United States in 2013, has embraced the universal firearm confiscation of Australia and England—schemes that saw the destruction of hundreds of thousands of registered, legal firearms that had been outlawed and taken under threat of force from licensed gun owners by their governments.
Obama revealed his gun control endgame in a Sept. 22, 2013, political speech at a solemn memorial for the 12 Washington Navy Yard victims murdered by a deranged killer on Sept. 16, 2013.
Obama coldly used the madness of a delusional lone mass-murderer to claim that the rampage “ought to lead to some sort of transformation … it ought to obsess us.”

As Of October 2018, The US Is Now Energy Independent
While the main event this weekend was the latest OPEC+ meeting which saw member states of the oil cartel and their allies scramble to promise that oil production will be cut if oil prices continue to drop due to excess supply now that Iran's oil exports may rebound thanks to waivers granted to its main trading partners by the Trump administration, a just as important event to take place was the news of record oil production levels in North America.
Helped by higher prices, total oil production has hit a record level in the US, reaching a combined 15.9 million b/d (crude oil and NGLs) in the past month and almost 2mn b/d above last year.

Trump rallies huge campaign crowd in Minnesota
Thanking the jubilant crowd and vowing to win the state in 2020 as the first administration in a long time to "put America first," he said there are 20,000 people inside and another 25,000 outside.
Trump went after Democrats congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the Bidens, and Democrats in his speech that lasted nearly two hours.
"They will fail because in America people rule again," Trump said, accusing Democrats and the "radical left" of trying to "nullify" the result of 2016 election.

Mark Levin: 'Unpatriotic' news media hates Trump, treats 'half of America' contemptuously

MSM Has Sold Themselves to the Devil, They are Reprobate
The phrase “reprobate mind” is found in Romans 1:28 in reference to those whom God has rejected as godless and wicked. They “suppress the truth by their wickedness,” and it is upon these people that the wrath of God rests (Romans 1:18). The Greek word translated “reprobate” in the New Testament is adokimos, which means literally “unapproved, that is, rejected; by implication, worthless (literally or morally).”

Why Are Lifetime Gun Bans Being Imposed on Tax Cheats?
That the punishment should fit the crime is a widely held axiom. If you lie on a tax return, you might expect to face certain consequences, such as fines and the repayment of back taxes, probably with interest, and perhaps even home confinement, or (in the extreme case) prison time. But you would not expect a lifetime restriction on your fundamental rights — such as the freedom to speak, to own property, or to enjoy your privacy. These punishments would be arbitrary and unjust given the nature of the crime.

Beverly attempted robbery thwarted by concealed carry holder, 69, Chicago police say
A 69-year-old concealed carry license holder shot a would-be robber Tuesday night in Beverly on the Far South Side.
About 10:40 p.m., the man was approached by three males in the 10600-block of South Leavitt Street, who demanded his belongings, Chicago police said.
The man pulled out his gun and shot one of the males in the knee, police said. The three males then fled the scene in a red Ford Fusion.

Why Do Liberals Hate Free Speech?
The great conservative intellectual William F. Buckley once said, “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” Any politically active college student should be familiar with this sentiment. Liberals preach inclusivity and diversity of all kinds, but not the diversity of thought. Opposing views are problematic wrong-thoughts that need to be ignored, or, better yet, purged. Liberals often claim that this is a misrepresentation of their views, and that they only care about banning “hate speech” and other forms of offensive speech. This is not just something that college liberals support; many older liberals have endorsed anti-hate speech laws. But when pressed to come up with examples of what actually constitutes the kinds of speech they want to ban, it becomes clear that liberals are really concerned with banning speech that they disagree with. The case of The Argus is a perfect example. Many students didn’t want to hear an opposing view, so they demanded that it not be expressed. This intolerance of other opinions can also be seen in the concept of “microagressions” – supposedly small, everyday instances or offensive speech. To some, saying things such as, “I think the most qualified person should get the job” count as microagressions. Clearly, the motivation here is not to ban speech that may harm someone, but to ban speech that may present an opposing view.

MADDOW MELTDOWN: MSNBC Cranks LOSE IT After Trump’s Landslide Victory
The MSNBC crew of cranks suffered a collective meltdown tonight after President Trump won the Iowa Republican Caucus in a landslide.
Democrats did not hold a caucus this year in Iowa because they really don’t care and they think Iowans are too white – therefore bad.
Iowa, where voter fraud is not yet a serious issue like it is in neighboring states, have voted twice for President Trump for president.
The MSNBC crew led by Rachel Maddow fear “fascism” in America. Again — this is all while they attempt to jail President Trump for 700 years and steal his business.

China on Iowa: ‘The World Should Prepare’ for Return of Trump
The Chinese state-run newspaper Global Times urged the world on Monday, shortly before the beginning of the Iowa primary caucuses, to “prepare for the possibility of Donald Trump being re-elected as president.”
Trump, who served as president from 2016 to 2020 and maintained an aggressive anti-communist foreign policy, decisively won the Iowa caucuses hours later by the largest margin in the history of the Republican contest. As a candidate running against incumbent leftist President Joe Biden, Trump has prioritized challenging the Chinese Communist Party’s espionage efforts in America and seeking redress for the Party’s role in causing the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

Blowout in the Hawkeye State: Donald Trump Wins Iowa Caucuses in Landslide
Former President Donald Trump cruised to victory in the Iowa caucuses Monday, serving as a likely harbinger of what is to come in subsequent nominating contests.
CNN and the Associated Press called the caucuses for Trump just 30 minutes into the nominating process, with less than one percent of the vote reporting. The 45th president had garnered 64.5 percent of the vote, with one percent reporting as of 8:42 p.m., according to the New York Times’ election results. He was beating his nearest opponent, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), by roughly 40 percentage points.

Justin Trudeau, who has endorsed legalizing marijuana, is making no apologies for smoking pot once as a Member of Parliament, while Prime Minister Stephen Harper had a decidedly unimpressed reaction to the revelation. "For Mr. Trudeau, I think those actions speak for themselves and I don't have anything to add," Harper told an audience in Nunavut Thursday.
The Liberal leader told The Huffington Post Canada's Althia Raj that he had a "puff" three years ago. He was first elected in 2008.
Speaking later on Thursday, Trudeau said he had not regrets about his drug use.
"No, it wasn't a mistake," Trudeau said in response to a question in Quebec City.
"I do not consume cannabis. I am not a big consumer at all. I tried it...
"I've never tried other types of hard drugs. I am not a consumer of marijuana but, yes, I've already tried it. I used it — maybe five or six times in my life."

A 64-year old disabled Middletown, Ohio woman named Mabel Fletcher used a concealed-carry handgun to stop a home invader who entered her house just after midnight Wednesday.
According to Cincinnati.com, Fletcher acquired her concealed carry permit in June and was home alone with her dog when the burglar entered.
Her dog woke at the sound of the intruder, giving Fletcher time to grab her Glock 9mm handgun as the invader closed in and attacked her. The assailant was a female, and Fletcher said, "I [saw] a shadow and then I went to look to see what it was and there she was. She pushed me... and started throwing things at me and it went from there and I shot."
The intruder then ran to another room, from which she kept throwing things at Fletcher. The homeowner fired a few more rounds at her.
At this point the intruder fell and feigned having been hit. When Fletcher moved to check on her to see if she was breathing, the intruder "lunged at her," and Fletcher fired again. The intruder then ran out of the house.
Although none of the shots hit the intruder, Fletcher knows having the gun leveled the playing field and saved her life.
"I have heard of so many break-ins and I am a widow and I am by myself and I thought somebody could come in," she explained. "My dog could let me know, but if they could probably shoot him and then I'd have no protection and they could kill me. So I had to get me a weapon to protect myself."
An Indianapolis woman was able to fend off a group of guys who pulled a gun on her, trying to steal her car.

How America's identity politics went from inclusion to division
Political tribalism has reached a new peak, writes Amy Chua in her new book, and it leaves the US in a new perilous situation
We are at an unprecedented moment in America.
For the first time in US history, white Americans are faced with the prospect of becoming a minority in their “own country.” While many in our multicultural cities may well celebrate the “browning of America” as a welcome step away from “white supremacy”, it’s safe to say that large numbers of American whites are more anxious about this phenomenon, whether they admit it or not. Tellingly, a 2012 study showed that more than half of white Americans believe that “whites have replaced blacks as the ‘primary victims of discrimination’.”

How Canadian Politics Got So Dumb
By now, most readers will have seen the picture of a turbaned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in brownface hamming it up with a group of women at a 2001 party in Vancouver. The old yearbook photo, first reported by Time on Sept. 18, immediately damaged the Canadian prime minister’s personal brand, which had always been based in large part on his bona fides as an enthusiastic advocate of progressive identity politics. Then, in the days that followed, two more images of Trudeau in blackface were publicized, including one of the Liberal Party prime minister singing Harry Belafonte’s song Day-O at a high school revue. The other is a 1990s-era video of Trudeau with his whitewater rafting buddies, in which the future prime minister is seen jumping around with an Afro wig, black face and body paint, and ripped pants. It caused some to ask whether the prime minister intended to present himself as Jim the slave from the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. (Another person in the video is seen wearing a Huck Finn-style hat.). There may be more images on the way, too, because the same prime minister who once lectured the world on toxic masculinity now says he cannot recall exactly how many times he wore blackface.

Maxine Waters Calls For Public Harassment Against Trump Officials
Far-left Rep. Maxine Waters issued a dangerous call to action over the weekend, urging people to harass and inflict violence against officials who work for President Donald Trump, according to The American Mirror. As nasty as Waters has been toward Trump, viewers must see the video to actually believe she would make such chilling remarks.
During a hate-filled rant on Saturday, the California Democrat said those who work for and support the president should not be welcomed or allowed in society. After calling for his impeachment, Waters yelled, “God is on our side,” disgustingly claiming that the Lord would support liberals harassing and physically assaulting people for their political beliefs. She made no mention of how ‘God’ feels about killing the unborn.
