Tory shouldn’t have to resign over this. It was a consensual relationship and there’s no law in Ontario against consensual relationships in the workplace. It’s sad, actually. I think Tory is a good man who really tries to play down the middle politically with the best interests of the city at heart. He’s giving into his fears over a media onslaught no doubt. The Toronto Star was about to release a tell-all story to destroy him, so he headed it off to protect his family’s dignity. The Toronto Star has become a terrible radical left rag that presents more editorializing and identity politics than news. I used to enjoy their architecture articles and culture pieces. It’s a shame.
Muckraking by the Star, but Tory broke the rules

Yes, because the SCC is so careful to consider only absolute, rock-solid evidence like oh, oral history.
As far as I can tell indigenous aspirations are to have us pay them more money forever.
I would say that's the end game, or, we give it all back then pay exorbitant rent.

PP is pulling big crowds as he appeals to the worker bees, he is more of a libertarian but other than the crypto currency thing I like him.
QuotePierre is no Radical
Poilievre, the adopted son of schoolteachers from Saskatchewan, was born and raised in Calgary. He’s got a pulse for what matters in Western Canada and a record of winning his Ottawa-area seat 7 consecutive times. He’s married to a Venezuelan refugee and is the proud father of two children. He’s smart, bilingual, the finest orator in the House of Commons, and well-read with a deep sense of Canada’s history.
This is the kind of public servant Canadians should want serving in high office.
Critics portray Mr. Poilievre as an extremist who presents an approach that is out of step with mainstream Canadian voters. Nothing could be further from the truth.
On social issues, Poilievre was recently quoted saying: “You can marry who you want, make your own personal decisions with minimal interference by the state and maximal freedom for individuals and families.” It’s as if Poilievre was drawing inspiration from Pierre Trudeau, who famously said, “the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.”
During this leadership campaign, Poilievre has talked about securing borders, protecting people and property from crime, building economic and public infrastructure, and providing for those who are unable to provide for themselves. He favours lowering the tax burden to empower all Canadians. In ending the war on work, Poilievre has committed to ending clawbacks, payroll taxes, and other penalties that punish middle-income workers.
He’s also articulated a detailed plan to speed up foreign credential recognition, including loans for nearly qualified immigrants to provide resources for credential testing.
As a Member of Parliament, he’s championed the rights of disabled workers with his Opportunity for Workers with Disabilities Act, building on the legacy left by former finance minister Jim Flaherty.
Regarding Canada’s First Nations, he’s pledged more control over land, economic opportunity, and decision making.
And on oil and gas — Canada’s greatest natural resource — he’s promised to remove the barriers that will bring these resources to market. No other reasonable country in the world would leave this much wealth in the ground, so why should Canada?
Poilievre’s plan is hardly the stuff of an extremist revolution.
But can he win the country?

Maybe CNN is reforming because of the ownership change. We should all be worried about the utter lack of integrity exhibited by news media companies.

Lee Valley Tools is having a supply problem,
Not looking good all the way round for the winter and purchasing goods.

Canadian retailer Lee Valley Tools has a bleak warning for anyone looking to get their hands on high-end garden shears, brass escutcheons or crokinole boards any time soon: good luck.-

It's not racist to question why people choose to live on unsustainable reserves where they have to be supported by the rest of Canada. How can they ever become self sustaining and independent if they continue to live there, and how can their children not suffer depression from living in such a place.

The Canadian Labour Congress is attacking O'Toole with a lie which is a problem because many or most believe them without checking.
According to them
Hidden in Conservative platform: An attack on public pensions and EI | Canadian Labour Congress
This is an outright lie. Gig workers do not pay into CPP now because they are contract workers, the CPC is helping them.
The Conservative Party is promising to create tax-free savings accounts that provide gig workers with access to the Canada Pension Plan and employment insurance benefits.
While out on the federal election campaign trail on Thursday, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said the coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated the need for these accounts because gig workers currently can’t pay into the CPP and don’t qualify for EI benefits.
“What this program does is it actually creates an employee savings account,” Hoback said, “and every time they work for a company, no matter who they are, the company will make their portion of contributions for EI and Canada Pension, and the employees can contribute to that account.”

.......Not only land , but personal processions as well take Justins new fire arms policy, they are going to make you a one time offer to purchase your firearms that they declared illegal, well under market value... and in some cases they do not make any offers to purchase they just seize it.
What it means is we never had property rights to begin with. and the government can deem anything illegal at any time, without any need to prove to you why. Look at Justins excuses to collect fire arms, all based on lies or misinformation...
Yup, and they don't explain what this use it or lose it really means, and how these fears of Trudeau's dictatorial tendencies are not conspiracy theories. Lately this is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to impose socialism on us, we should all be equally poor. What's in your wallet.

What does this mean, we have no property rights, use it or lose it? Is this, we will expropriate your property so we can jam in some high density housing. Live in a nice area with a double severed lot, own a piece of land you are waiting to build on, nope, we will take it ? This is expropriation taken from the Russian Bolshevik revolution of 1917. If the government officials like your property and you don’t want to sell it they can deem it 'not used properly' so can take it away from you.

[i]We will also work with municipalities within this program to identify vacant or underused property that should be converted to housing on the principle of use it or lose it – that core urban land should be available for new housing, not left vacant as an unproductive investment property.[/i] -
Loud anti vaxxers aside, IMO people are leaving because of
his narcistic arrogance in calling an unnecessary election during Covid
Finally caught on to his lies and broken promises
People are walking up to the fact that Trudeau is dishonest and cannot/will not tell the truth
His poor handling of the Afghan situation
IMO he is also lagging because people are now hearing O'Toole and his platform more clearly and like what they hear and see. I believe he will try to form a coalition government with Singh, how long that lasts, who knows.

This video of Marc Garneau is painful to watch. He wants to wait and see if the Taliban are going to run a peaceful government and he thinks Canada has done great job responding to the crisis.
To quote Jen Gerson on Twitter, "the moral nothingness of these people"...

Finally, they are taking some action, Austria will make it a criminal offense to spread 'political Islam' following Islamic extremist's terror attack last week’ Too little too late IMO, but I guess it's a start.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8938455/Austria-make-criminal-offence-spread-political-Islam-Vienna-terror-attack.html
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz's cabinet today agreed on a wide range of anti-terrorism measures meant to plug perceived security flaws identified after a deadly attack by an Islamic extremist in Vienna last week.The proposals include the ability to keep individuals convicted of terror offences behind bars for life, electronic surveillance of people convicted of terror-related offenses upon release and criminalizing religiously motivated political extremism.Kurz said the measures, which will be brought before parliament in December for a vote, take a two-pronged approach, targeting both terror suspects and also the ideology that drives them. -

So the Religion of Peace has attacked Vienna, why, we don't know other than he
BBC reporting on the Jihad attacks in Vienna puts Islamists in quotes, they can't deny it because Vienna confirmed it, but they just cannot bring themselves to confirm it. The Jihadist was convicted on terrorism charges last year but was released from prison after serving part of his term so why wasn't he deported. Trudeau had a pretty wimpish response too, can't upset the Jihadists can we. Time to put political correctness aside and say what it is, and time to back Macron in France or will just continue.

Dr. David Suzuki has called for lower immigration.
I don't think that it's racist to set immigration levels lower but your intentions - if you're a nut like Bernier - may be called into it.
But - serious question - has any of the big 3 federal parties seriously suggested it ?Yes, Trudeau is increasing levels.

Not sure whatBiden can do that is not already being done. IMO the President does not have the power to order the entire Nation to shut down nor to mandate wearing ofmasks. He/she can help make guidelines and suggestions and economic threats but this all takes time and will produce a lot of court challenges. Declaring Martial Law would be a quick way to get out of office and cause civil unrest.

Is Digital ID a threat to freedom?
in Federal Politics in Canada
Posted
The digital IDs are a tool for government control and compliance as are so called 15 minute cities .
OTTAWA — The federal government has presented a new health-care funding offer that would see Ottawa shift $196 billion to the provinces and territories over the next 10 years in exchange for commitments to massively upgrade health-care data collection and digital medical records
