Monsef tried to buy it back by claiming “Muslims refer to one another as brothers and sisters,” which just raises more questions about Monsef seeing Taliban fighters as deserving of formality and respect despite admitting they are terrorists. Again that wouldn’t fly with Christians, who also call each other brothers and sisters if they were referring to members of an extremist organization.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seemed to think when he dropped the writ for the snap election last Sunday that he was going to have a comfortable path to getting back the majority denied to him in 2019.

Independent Member of Parliament Derek Sloan announced at a major rally in Cochrane, Alberta, that he will be moving federal ridings, and provinces to run in the Banff-Airdrie riding to take on key Erin O’Toole supporter and Whip of the Conservative Party caucus, Blake Richards.
Although Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Erin O’Toole started the federal election campaign as both explicitly saying or indicating they were in favour of mandatory vaccinations for federal employees, both men have now backed off or softened their positions in the face of public backlash or media questions about their plans.
Not only was Trudeau losing momentum going towards the election announcement due to Canadians disapproval of having to go back to the polls right now, but when he did drop the writ for the September 20 election, he bungled the rollout with cheap excuses for why he bothered calling the election.
It will be interesting to see in a new election, especially one called on such short notice, if newer parties like the PPC, Maverick, and the True North Party (recently started by Derek Sloan) will be able to break through due to the frustration of Canadians and especially Westerners, or if more centre-right voters will still rally behind the CPC despite moving to the left.
The whole situation seems odd to political observers, especially those who had been convinced Trudeau would be dropping the writ on a new election on Sunday. Many now don’t know if the departure of these three Liberals indicates an election is now coming sooner or if this will delay an election call until later in August or even early September.
Canada’s unemployment rate was still at a high 7.5 percent at the end of July when the United States was already down to an unemployment rate of 5.9 percent by the end of June, due to greater efforts to get Americans off of government programs and back to work.
Rumours have been swirling around on whether or not Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be calling for an early fall election in September, which the writ would be dropped for soon, or if he will be forced to hold off because of the environment of fear he in part has created around COVID-19.
Rebel News reporter David Menzies approached Lantsman at the campaign event and asked her a pointed question about her lobbying for Walmart Canada and whether she felt at all responsible for small businesses going under while she advocated for special treatment for a multinational corporation so they could continue offering “non-essential” services.
