The culture war got a criminal mafia boss that lies all the time elected, and got Poilievre 30% ahead of Trudeau. had Trump not started his attacks against Canada, it is quie possible that CPC would have won with that tactic. And despite Trump attacking canada, 41% o Canadians beleived in hose tactics, beleive countries send their criminals to Canada and that immigrants are criminals etc.

the creation of problems such as trans athletes requires constant repeating of he issue over long time to make it "stick". So Poilievre sarted as soon as he was elected leader (and party planners agreed wih strategy). Had he stayed "normal" until he writ was dropped, that strategy would not have worked because 30 days is n't enough to make culture war become problems people vote about.

That article spent more time on Liberals' campaign than CPC. I woudl have been interested in inside discussions within the CPC on their decision to mimick Trup,s culture wars ad fake news, woke stuff etc and how to deal with this heavy baggage that had become a liability. The fact that Poilievre avoid this during much of campaign to hide it but on last days did restart it shows there must have been discussions on it.

_________________________

The "pretty display" of emails does not let you see who is sending what. It only displays the "pretty" to and FROM that are in body in message, no the actual to/from used in the negotiation. The original message did not necessarily originate on Google, and not sure why Google would accept it and then issue non delivery instead of rejecting it at time of sending. That is why seeing the real message with headers is important, but web interfaces are dumbed down and prevent this.

In reply to nevent1q…3d4l
_________________________

Smaller mail systems are able to verify the email address during the RFC 821 "MAIL TO:" command and reject it before the body of message is sent. The onus is then on the sending MTA to advise sender of non delivery. If receiving MTA receives message and then checks validity of destination, the onus is on it to issue non delivery.

"view source" of message if Google allows should reveal IP of original sender, and IP who sent the non-delivery notification.

And for Melon to launch offer , he must have gotten favours from Trump. Both have leverage in each other. Cutting off friendship means Trump loses $2b in cash to pay off his debts in money losing real estate.

Criminal Donald Trump invited himself to the grand opening of Cathédrale Notre Dame this weekend, ruining the event for everyone. The Ferengi has no business (litterally) in a church. And secret service will make life hell in Paris for everyone.

As a criminal civilian, he cannot enter many countries and he should not be allowed in Schengen. He may have been elected to ruin the United States, but he has no mandate to ruin the rest of the planet.

Due to the hurricane, it wasn' until day 4 that ships could get to the site of the sinking and do searches.

At 1806, the cutter Northland found one of the liferafts at 23.4866N, 073.5883W, about 18 nm northeast of El Faro’s last known position. The ship’s rescue swimmer searched the partially inflated liferaft for any sign of survivors. Finding no one on board, the Northland sank the liferaft, to prevent its rediscovery and an ensuing duplicate search for survivors or remains
