By-elections are coming my hungries, so put up or shut up.
The Salvation Army’s 2026 Poverty and Socioeconomic Analysis found 31 per cent of the 1,500 Canadians surveyed skipped meals or reduced portion sizes because they couldn’t afford groceries. This is up from 27 per cent last year.
The number turning to community supports, including food banks, also rose from 11 per cent to 15 per cent this year.
@yegwave Give him a call and tell him to pick up his trash. And ask him when his temporary foreign worker deal ends. https://t.co/d43mmgJfxC

On the John Lewis department store’s misjudged Christmas advert:
It does rather suggest a gulf between, on the one hand, progressively-inclined John Lewis management and progressively-inclined London ad executives who think that sneaking trans flags into Christmas adverts watched by children is terribly clever – and on the other hand, actual John Lewis customers and the general public.
We’ve been here before, of course. When customers were expected to find charming the thought of their homes being trashed by a selfish, vamping, cross-dressing child.
And then there was the attempt to endear customers by announcing, very proudly, that they employ middle-aged transvestites with whipping fetishes because doing so results in “a better connection to our customers.” Thanks to these “identities we share.”
I kid you not.

Here’s your 2026 midterm open thread. Our US readers in particular are invited to weigh in with observations and predictions. I may update as the evening progresses, or I may just leave it to the experts.
Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi are reuniting for a America This Week Special livestream, beginning at 8pm Eastern, so that’s where I’ll be. (I’ll embed later if I can get it to load reliably.)
No contest this time. By the time California has finished reporting, we’ll be into the 2028 cycle.

If your nation’s alleged goal is to somehow “show those Americans who’s boss”, news like this probably won’t do much for your credibility. In any case, someone should let Blubber Dougie know before he opens his trap again.
Hydro-Québec has released a report suggesting it may need to import electricity from neighbouring provinces or the United States within the next three years.
The utility expects this demand could cause it to face energy deficits as early as 2029.

This sounds serious: Dear Commissioner Von Finckenstein...
Rug, pulled.
Mark Carney gave Danielle Smith a pipeline promise in October.
In November, she got the lawsuits. Ten of them.
Ottawa’s "fast track" looks an awful lot like the old slow track.

LOL: EchoStar stock jumped 4% Monday morning. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile stocks all fell.
Mariam Odeh, a former staffer on Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign,
…is currently facing federal charges alongside 11 other anti-Israel activists accused of vandalizing the homes of members of Michigan’s Jewish and pro-Israel community and plotting to poison and murder them and their families.
Jars containing noxious chemicals were thrown into family homes. Windows were smashed. Homes were marked with the Hamas red inverted triangle, designating them as targets for death.
Surely an outlier.
Canary Mission, an independent research organization, says it has found that a significant source of financial support for El-Sayed and a cadre of other far-left candidates—in the millions of dollars—is coming from more than a dozen political action committees, many of them created in the wake of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack, that are specifically focused on opposition to Israel.
Checking my pockets for a violin: Unions told MPs Ottawa’s strike-ending power didn’t get them a deal. Defying it did. Liberals then voted 6 to 5 to stop hearing from witnesses.
The Democrat Party’s America: Victor Davis Hanson – The midterm election. Jew hatred. Terrorist.
Conman Carney’s Canada: Don’t upset the Muslims. Immigration. Poppy sales in Hamilton.
Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s Bought And Paid For Media: On with the show. Climate grift. Muslim or leftist suspect? Carney’s new strategic partner. Doctors and engineers. Good vision.

This October 18th, 2026 post by @DataRepublican is something we should all keep a careful eye on in the coming months and in 2027. The members of the DSA are not honorable people. They’re communists. Given the opportunity, I don’t believe they would have any qualms to try to overthrow America.
Glenn Beck shares his analysis.
Best-selling Australian children’s author Craig Silvey has been charged with child exploitation offences.
Silvey, 43, was allegedly found ‘actively engaging with other child exploitation offenders online’ when police raided his home in Fremantle, which he shares with his partner Clare Testoni and daughters just 22km south of Perth CBD, on Monday. […]
Silvey, who has been shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and the International Dublin Literary Award, also wrote he was ‘drooling’ over a sexually explicit photo of a naked man and boy together.
If only there were signs.
