Liberals Lose long-Held Seat in Montreal as Trudeau’s Popularity Tanks
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party has lost a key parliamentary seat in a special election in Montreal, putting fresh pressure on the Canadian leader to resign.
The tight loss in Montreal’s federal electoral district of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun marks Trudeau’s minority Liberal government’s second setback in three months. With all ballots counted, Liberal candidate Laura Palestini finished second to Bloc Quebecois candidate Louis-Philippe Sauvé.
According to one poll tracker, Trudeau’s approval rating has dropped from 63% when he first took office to 28% in June of this year. The Liberals are likely to lose the upcoming election to the Conservatives, Canada’s official opposition party.
Justin Trudeau has received calls to resign as party leader, including from within his own party, but refuses to step down. A move that could end the Liberal Party in Canada. Trudeau said he intends to continue on and lead the party into the next election, which is slated for October 2025.
Former Liberal minister David Lametti, who had held the seat since 2015, resigned in January, prompting the Montreal by-election.
On Tuesday, Trudeau stated that there were “all sorts of reflections to take” on what went wrong for the Liberals in the formerly safe seat. He stated that he and his staff would continue to focus on working for Canadians.
In June, Trudeau’s Liberals lost a Toronto federal seat they had held for 30 years to the opposition Conservative Party, signalling danger for the party, which has been in power since 2015.
The election might possibly be called sooner, after the NDP withdrew from an arrangement with the minority Liberals earlier this month, which had enabled them retain power.
Also on Monday, the progressive NDP narrowly retained a seat in a byelection in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The by-election in Winnipeg’s Elmwood-Transcona riding, or constituency, was held following the departure of long-time NDP member of parliament Daniel Blaikie in March.
The NDP retained the seat, a bastion for their party, with 48% of the vote.
The Conservatives finished second with 44% of the vote.
While the Liberals were not anticipated to win the Winnipeg constituency, there were some signs of trouble: their candidate received 5% of the vote, compared to 15% in the previous federal election.
In recent years, Canadian voters have shown growing dissatisfaction with the government over topics such as rising prices, a home affordability crisis, healthcare, and immigration.

What We Discovered in Kamala Harris’s Medical Report: Why It Matters
(VOR News) – The White House Military Office released Vice President Kamala Harris’ medical report to the public on October 12.
Based on her most recent and “unremarkable” physical examination, which happened in April 2024, the study said that Kamala Harris “remains in excellent health”.
Joshua R. Simmons, Kamala Harris’s doctor, said in a statement about healthcare that the vice president “possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”
Simmons disclosed that Kamala Harris, a 59-year-old woman, was afflicted with several medical issues, including seasonal allergies triggered by pollen and urticaria, a common skin disorder characterized by itching and redness.
Her doctor did note, however, that she is managing these problems well, that she has “never experienced severe symptoms,” and that her urticaria and allergies have improved. Furthermore, the Vice President wears lenses to correct her nearsightedness, giving her exact 20/20 vision.
Kamala Harris’ mother’s side of the family has a colon cancer history.
Harris is current on her recommendations and has gotten all advised preventive care and vaccinations, such as mammograms and colonoscopies, in the meantime. Simmons presented an account of Harris’ rigorous physical regimen and “very healthy” diet, both of which Harris had previously disclosed.
The fact that former President Donald Trump, Kamala Harris’ Republican opponent in the next presidential election on November 5, has a radically different stance on transparency than Harris does makes her physical examination all the more significant.
With Vice President Joe Biden’s July 21 withdrawal from the presidential contest, 78-year-old Donald Trump has emerged as the candidate with the oldest age.
The spotlight that was constantly focused on Biden’s age during the campaign battles between Biden and Trump led to this outcome, even though the age difference between Biden and Trump is only about three and a half years. Furthermore, Biden received a lot of flak for his performance in the June debate.
The broader public is mostly ignorant of Trump’s current health situation. On November 20, 2023, the most recent medical report that Trump made public was highlighted in a post on Truth Social.
Kamala Harris included a screenshot of Dr. Bruce Aronwald’s letter.
Although not much was said in the letter, it did say that the former president was in “excellent health.”
Despite his recent declaration that he would “gladly” reveal his medical records, the truth is that Trump has not yet made them public. Furthermore, Kamala Harris revealed the details of her health nearly precisely three months after Trump was hurt in an attempt to murder him at a Pennsylvania campaign event on July 13. The incident took place in Pennsylvania and claimed the life of a man who was in the crowd.
Trump’s medical staff has been incredibly silent about any details pertaining to the former President’s medical records after the attempt or the extent of his ear wound. A signed letter was written by a Republican lawmaker from Texas and physician Ronny Jackson and was made public on July 20
. He claimed in the letter that a gunshot had caused the ear wound and that it was “beginning to granulate and heal properly.”
Furthermore, the Trump team has not reacted to inquiries from media organizations like the New York Times for medical documents. Conversely, the Kamala Harris team has chosen to make the Vice President’s information public on their own timeline rather than responding to the Times.
The Vice President’s records being made public is seen by a senior Kamala Harris aide as a “opening to highlight how little is known about the health of 78-year-old Trump.” ABC News gave this information.

Why Is Donald Trump Touring California, A State He Is Almost Sure To Lose?

Why Is Donald Trump Touring California, A State He Is Almost Sure To Lose?
(VOR News) – With the presidency in jeopardy in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, why would Donald Trump travel to California, a typically Democratic state, weeks before Election Day?
Trump would likely lose California after his Saturday appearance at Coachella, an arid city east of Los Angeles known for its music festival. This is inevitable. The Republican nominee has good reasons to come, given his chances in the most populous state on November 5.
Former president lost big in California in 2020. He won more than 6 million Republican presidential votes and over 70% in rural areas that usually support conservative candidates.
This large demographic could volunteer for phone banks and state elections in competitive states. Donald Trump is likely to receive extensive media coverage in Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest market.
Trump will attend Coachella between his Saturday Latino roundtable in Las Vegas and his Sunday event in Prescott Valley, Arizona. He lost the two battleground states to Joe Biden in 2020.
As the communications director for Donald Trump’s 2016 Michigan campaign and a former administration official, Tim Lineberger claimed that Trump’s move to California has given him the “capacity to intervene and capitalize on this substantial number of Trump supporters.” It sounds like they’re “moving in here and turning that on.”
Californians contacted Michigan voters in 2016 for Donald Trump.
The campaign entered safe Democratic territory. He called it “an offensive, aggressive play.” Both parties can easily gather campaign donations in California, where Donald Trump will also solicit funds. Coachella offers $25,000 photographs with exclusive seating for two of the former presidents. The “VIP Experience” cost $5,000.
Republican consultant Tim Rosales called the Coachella gathering a “get-out-the-vote” event that energizes California Republicans who are less involved in the national campaign. Additionally, California congressional races might determine House party control.
Rosales added that Donald Trump will likely continue his fight with Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Rosales claims that Republicans are motivated by their ability to subtly criticize California and get the governor to respond.
As the fifth-largest economy in the world, Newsom predicted on Wednesday that Trump would criticize California at the rally while ignoring its benefits. According to the governor, California has more Fortune 500 enterprises than any other state for the first time in ten years.
He said, “You know, that’s not what Donald Trump is going to say.”
Former California Republican Party chairman Jim Brulte believes Trump is trying to get more ballots than his Democratic opponent, a goal he has failed to fulfill before.
“I think Donald Trump is traveling to California in an attempt to win the popular vote in addition to the Electoral College.” According to Brulte, California has more registered voters than 46 of the other 49 states.
Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles is south of the city on the Pacific Coast. However, Trump has a rocky connection with California, where Democrats outnumber registered Republicans 2-to-1 and Republicans have not won since 1988.
California was the home of the Trump resistance during his administration, and Trump often uses it to represent everything he dislikes about America. He called San Francisco and Los Angeles’ homelessness repulsive and promised to help as president.
He won’t spend much time discussing California’s difficulties with Democratic candidate and San Francisco Bay Area native Kamala Harris, the state’s attorney general and senator. This is probable on Saturday.
His side said Harris “converted the infamous ‘California Dream’ into a nightmare for everyday Americans.” Jessica Millan Patterson, the state GOP chairwoman, praised Trump’s juxtaposition of his policies to a Democratic White House that “has left Californians less safe and with less money in their pockets.”
Republicans “will contribute to the establishment of a House majority.”

Surveys Show Abortion Has Surpassed Inflation As The Top Election Concern For Women Under 30.
(VOR News) – According to the results of a KFF study of female voters released on Friday, abortion has surpassed inflation to become the most significant issue for women under 30 in the presidential election.
Vice President Kamala Harris has led the Democratic national ticket for the first time, having succeeded President Joe Biden in this capacity.
About two out of five young voters stated that abortion was their main concern in the most recent study. Compared to the spring survey, when only one in five young voters voiced the same fear, this represents an increase.
Young voters’ top concern was inflation, as it was for female voters of all ages in the previous study. Regardless of age category, women over 30 continued to have inflation as their top concern.
Abortion was the third most important issue for women.
Ranking higher than immigration but lower than inflation and posing a threat to democracy.
678 female voters participated in a survey done by KFF, a health policy-focused media, research, and polling group, between September 12 and October 1. Most of them had taken part in the same study in the previous wave of the survey, which was conducted in May and June.
The follow-up survey group also included 29 Black women in order to guarantee a statistically significant sample size for that group. With wider ranges for the other voter groups, the sample’s error was five points, either positive or negative.
Although abortion has always been a hotly debated topic, things took a turn for the worst in 2022 when the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and gave states the authority to restrict abortion. Following that, Harris’s opponent, former President Donald Trump, who was also a member of the court, nominated three judges to the court.
Most Republican-controlled states are in the midst of putting these restrictions into effect right now. Thirteen of them, with some exceptions, forbid abortions during the whole gestational cycle. Furthermore, four of them have limitations that start at some point in the first six weeks of pregnancy—usually before a woman even realizes she is expecting a child.
Harris prioritized expanding abortion services during his campaign.
The elections this year could impact the laws governing abortion, not only in the presidential race but also in nine states where ballot measures safeguarding abortion rights are on the ballot.
Elections for a number of offices, such as state legislatures, governors, attorneys general, justices of the state supreme court, and other positions, may have an impact on future abortion laws.
In general, almost two thirds of women have said that the election will significantly change the accessibility to abortion. Compared to slightly over half of women who answered the first survey, this is an increase.
If a bill was enacted by Congress and signed into law, most women anticipated that President Trump would sign it, outlawing abortions performed within the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. Prior to the end of the survey.
President Trump said he would veto abortion bans.
The majority of respondents stated that they thought Harris would sign any legislation passed by Congress to safeguard access to abortion on a nationwide scale.
the right to an abortion, there is a big difference between the parties regarding who would make the best candidate. Less than one-fifth of Republicans and 90% of Democrats who responded to the study said they supported Harris among the women. The poll’s findings also showed differences in opinion over which candidate would be best for obtaining access to IVF and birth control.
The study’s findings suggest that Republican women are feeling more nervous and frustrated about the presidential contest than they were at the beginning of the year. They are also showing a somewhat reduced degree of zeal and optimism. On the other hand, even if they are just as nervous, Democratic women are far more passionate and upbeat.
Slightly over half of Republican women are happy with the presidential contenders they have selected, as they were in the spring. Conversely, among Democratic women, satisfaction increased from just over one-third to almost three-quarters.
