Still watching the results coming in, WestCan - no victory for either candidate yet as several states are way too close to call. What is crystal clear is that the projected blue wave crashed on the shores of reality and the Biden/Harris ticket was hardly the best choice for Dems.

Well at least one group of people are pretty happy today. All those construction workers busily boarding up businesses and storefronts across America today. Smart thinking on the part of businesses many of whom have already seen an estimated 1 billion dollars in insured losses from riot related property damage and theft - the costliest civil unrest in US history.

I'm with you on number 4 that nothing will change in the US no matter who wins the election. As for the other 3 points, it was democratic cities whose mayors stood by if not encouraged the rioting and looting by the always eagerly offended. I expect more of the same tonight. The MSM will have a hard time keeping up with election result reporting and coverage of all the cities that will once again devolve into chaos.

BC NDP win majority and will form the next government without any interference or power sharing with the tree-huggers. I could not be happier.

By standing by instead of taking responsibility as they were duly elected to do. But that is about to be rectified, hopefully, as Federal District Court in Washington just upheld a lawsuit by more than 20 Seattle businesses and citizens who justly claim there lives and businesses were harmed during the protests. "More than 20 businesses and individuals sued the city on June 24, alleging they suffered severe economic losses and were forced to live in fear and among filth for weeks when protesters took over several blocks not far from City Hall, and city officials effectively ceded authority and control to the protesters." “Plaintiffs plausibly allege that the City’s actions — encouraging CHOP participants to wall off the area and agreeing to a “no response” zone within and near CHOP’s borders — foreseeably placed Plaintiffs in a worse position than they would have been in absent any City intervention whatsoever,” Judge Zilly wrote. “Their allegations are also sufficient to show that the City acted with deliberate indifference to that danger,” he wrote." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/16/seattle-chop-lawsuit-upheld-federal-judge/ I hope they win billions.

The UN became obsolete when they elected Muammar Gaddafi's Libya as President - President no less - of the UN Human Rights Commission and that was way back in 2003.

Yes it was, WCM, sorry I forgot to include the /s. Yet here we are yeah these many months later and Chagger still holds her ministry. No real surprise there as justdim must be close to reneging on his 'gender balanced cabinet.' Plus she ticks a few boxes. The Bloc and Conservatives are trying hard to have the hearings resumed by now that the NDP are in power there is little chance of that happening - to the detriment of democracy and our country.

Socialism/Fascism was well underway long before Covid came along. Comments that do not fall within the current 'woke' ideology are forbidden. Words and phrases are being expunged due to their purported racism/sexism. Weekly there are marches, protests and sit-ins all across our country in direct contravention of pandemic guidelines but ignored by our federal government leaving provincial premiers to clean up the mess. The 'center' has all but disappeared as sides are taken and the divide gets wider. We headed down this slippery slope when the current liberal government took power and it has been all downhill since then. Covid only exacerbated the problem by giving the government under the guise of pandemic relief, the ability to prop up all their woke causes with millions of dollars.

Good to see that saner minds prevailed and that women will be safer playing their sport. Well done.

Good for her. I hope she wins the suit as this issue of boys who take advantage of claiming they are transgender in order to compete with girls is utter bullshit.

Excellent article, Scribblet.

Thumbs up for this, Rue.

I'm certainly with you on this, GostHacked. Appears that everyone and anyone with an axe to grind whether with good reason or not is out screaming to the skies with little or no reason to do so. I'm sick to death of being preached at - hell, even commercials are getting in on the act. Little wonder that people get their backs up when the moaning, groaning, whinging and screeching is what passes for news these days.

My bad, dialamah......I misread your comment. I do apologize.

I don't think this scrofulous pos represents anyone but himself. He is not representative of the community who, I would not be surprised to learn, share my thoughts on his continued sickening behavior.

So, my opinion that all positions should be merit based is now an attitude? Good to know.

If anyone needs to be cancelled it is this guy.

It shouldn't be a competition of victimhood but in today's culture it is.

Any position or job should be merit based.

Sounds like a great idea considering the upsurge in cases mainly among young people.

Just finished reading 'Dances with Dependency' by Calvin Helin a prominent Canadian Indigenous businessman who refuses to embrace the current victim-hood mantra and speaks plainly about the necessity for all Indigenous in Canada to embrace a firm work ethic while pursuing all means necessary to improve their lives and communities. What our country needs is more Calvin Helins.

It's getting harder to trust him? I stopped trusting him the day he first got elected knowing that a fired drama teacher cum ski board instructor was hardly the proper or competent resume' for leader of our country and so far I've been proven absolutely right.

Could be it was Billy's idea, Argus. He very well could have foreseen the financial disaster facing our country should the ethically challenged PM continue his unfettered spending sprees and figured that bowing out now was not only a good idea but a great one. As for Freeland's new portfolio, it is interesting to note that now simply having written a few articles on finance for news publications is more than enough to qualify one for the role of Canada's Finance Minister./s

Actually, CTV has mentioned several times and indeed covered part of the committee hearings being held today. This isn't dead by a long shot, WCM. And, the little potato still awaits his appearance before the ethics committee. So far the Clerk of the Privy Council has thrown Telford under the bus for not making sure the little potato recused himself as was her duty as his special advisor or whatever the hell her useless title is; all but exonerated the PSC for their stellar vetting of WE; and has admitted that he had no personal knowledge of the financial regularities surrounding WE in spite of the fact that the MSM had reported such as early as 2019. He also admitted that in spite of the fact that this program was all about financing a program, no one bothered to check the finances of the charity solely chosen to deliver it. One might be forgiven for thinking that it would be a no brainer to check and see how well the charity was handling their own finances considering the millions at stake.........but no. Wasn't that important apparently. With the intervention of the Committee Chair that slimy sycophant Chaggar was forced to admit that she did indeed meet with one of the K brothers regarding the program - a clear conflict of interest and explains why until the Chair intervened she had refused to answer a yes or no question posed by every member of the Opposition present regarding the meeting. Chaggar being the minister in charge of making sure all the proper vetting was done on WE - and failed miserably to do so, and who was already handing out money to the charity long before it actually got approval from cabinet.
