What Doug Ford can teach the federal Conservative party

Doug Ford’s re-election Thursday evening was watched closely by federal Conservatives looking for lessons on how to bring their party back to power after three straight election losses.The main takeaway from multiple party insiders – including those helping to run leadership campaigns – was that the federal Conservatives need to emulate Ford’s blue-collar messaging and build a new voter coalition to take on Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party. Ontario Progressive Conservatives win another majority government “This majority is a testament to the relentless hard work of Doug Ford and Monte McNaughton over the past four years to build relationships and trust with labour union workers,” said Melanie Paradis, who served as director of communications to former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole.“Blue-collar workers should absolutely be voting Conservative, but we haven’t appealed to them for years.

Canada alarmed as Chinese fighter pilots ‘buzz’ Canadian planes over international waters

Chinese fighter pilots in the skies above the Asia-Pacific region.Multiple sources in the Canadian Forces and the federal government tell Global News that Chinese jets are repeatedly “buzzing” a Canadian intelligence plane that is part of a United Nations mission over international waters.Those jets are frequently flying as close as 20 to 100 feet from the Canadian planes, sources say — so close that Canadian pilots can make eye contact with the Chinese pilots, and sometimes see them raising their middle fingers. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.“(That distance is) scary close at those high speeds, and it could lead to disaster in a crash,” said Charles Burton, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa.“You do it too much, and eventually, sometime, it’s going to go wrong.” As China pressed over Russia stance, Canada’s MPs revive special committee on ties The Canadian CP-140 Aurora plane is currently taking part in Operation Neon, part of UN efforts to prevent North Korea’s development of weapons of mass destruction.
