Now that Manitoba’s Conservatives have lost a by-election for a supposedly safe seat that they held for forty years, some in-depth self-reflection might be in order. If they were serious about reconnecting with disaffected voters, much of that reflection ought to dwell on their ham-fisted pandemic policies. I’m not holding my breath.
The affluent Tuxedo riding — a Tory stronghold for its entire four decades of existence — flipped to the NDP for the first time ever in Tuesday’s byelection.
How it’s going.
Via Stephen Taylor: I’ve never seen a self-own like this. Her government has been the one in power for 9 years.

In brown are where the “Far-right” won in France today.
Macron calls snap elections.
France’s finance minister said on Monday that the snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron after a bruising loss to the far right in European Parliament elections would be the most consequential legislative vote in the republic’s history.
Macron’s shock decision amounts to a roll of the dice on his political future. It could hand a great deal of power to Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) after years on the sidelines, and neuter his presidency three years before it is due to end.
The legislative vote will take place on June 30, less than a month before the start of the Paris Olympics, with a second round on July 7.
Bury le bitch.
Sorry guys, we didn’t make the new rules. But those are the new rules.
Apparently anyone who points out gay rights issues in Gaza is a Zionist colonizer. Strange how Justin hasn’t mentioned this, since he’s always promoting gay sex. I guess he doesn’t want to upset his Muslim voter base.
Debbie Dingell’s well rehearsed statement about Anthony Fauci, describing him as such a good man who just wants to help people, lead up to her question about the “credible death threats” Fauci and his family received, was a sad attempt to martyr Fauci in a way most narcissists only dream about.
If you get a chance, pick up a copy of The Real Anthony Fauci, if you haven’t already.
Trudeau needs to apologize again. This time for slavery or something. Behind a paywall but you get the drift from the intro.
I bet these vegans have no problem with killing unborn babies though. Vegans cancel dog rescue BBQ.
Is moving on to bigger and dumber things.

Details of the inside job that was a gold heist in Peel Region, Ontario, are now emerging:
Five individuals have been arrested, charged and released, while three are wanted and one, King-Mclean, remains in custody in the United States.
It was last September when King-Mclean was pulled over in Pennsylvania on a traffic stop that police became aware of gun smuggling. After running from police on foot, King-Mclean was arrested and the vehicle he was driving was found to have 65 illegal firearms in it including automatic weapons.
Perhaps the most drastic change in the recent federal budget is the hiking of the capital gains inclusion rate. This supporter of the change works out the math and finds that effectively treating a capital gain as wage income is just fine with him. The fact that an investor risks the loss of assets if the business fails is, to him, equivalent to the risk borne by the wage earner who gets paid every two weeks and never has to deal with the loss of a dime of capital to sustain the business.
Here’s the text of his X post:
$1 in wages. Top marginal tax rate = 53%.
Keep $0.47. $1 in corporate profit –> 26% corporate tax rate = $0.74 distributed as capital gains –> 50% inclusion rate = $0.37 taxed at 53% personal. All in, roughly 46% tax rate overall. Keep $0.54. Better than wages (and better than interest or dividends).
At 67% inclusion: roughly 52% tax overall for capital gains. So keep $0.48. Close to treatment of wages!
Somewhere up there, Kathy Shaidle is pissing herself.
And then, on October 7, multiculturalism breathed its last. As word spread – as we learned that Hamas terrorists had invaded progressive farm communities in Israel, and raped and tortured and killed hundreds of innocents, and kidnapped scores more – something else happened, here in Canada.
