Global National: July 4, 2024 | Brits kick Conservatives to the curb, Labour Party win majority
As expected, the British Labour Party and its leader, Sir Keir Starmer, are heading for a landslide majority victory in the country's parliamentary election, according to exit polls, ending the incumbent Conservatives' 14 years in power. Crystal Goomansingh looks at how Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives lost voters.
Hurricane Beryl has left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, including Jamaica, where at least two people have been killed. Dan Spector reports on how thousands of Jamaicans have been left with nothing; how the storm crashed a Canadian couple's honeymoon and how Mexico is now bracing itself for the worst.
The federal government has enacted a digital services tax, aimed at getting tech giants to pay their fair share of taxes on revenue they earn without having a physical presence in Canada. Mackenzie Gray explains how the levy works, how it could affect consumers and how the U.S. is threatening to retaliate.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland hosted a meeting with some Toronto-area Liberal MPs to discuss their party's surprise byelection loss in Toronto-St.Paul's, a riding it held for nearly 31 years. Mackenzie Gray reports on what Freeland said about the meeting and on what else caucus members might be considering to send a new message about the cost of living crisis.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is putting in early work to win over voters before the next federal election, including campaign-style visits to evangelical Christian churches in Liberal ridings. As David Akin explains, while evangelicals don't play as active a role in politics in Canada compared to the U.S., the Tories are courting their votes.
Recovery efforts are underway in Nova Scotia, where a humpback whale has died after becoming stranded on a sandbar in Shubenacadie River. Heidi Petracek explains what could have brought the whale upstream and what could happen if crews can't get the remains out.
Plus, after decades of searching, a Holocaust survivor's daughter has finally found the family she never knew existed. Caryn Lieberman explains how Elana Milman successfully retraced her roots.

Meanwhile, the sum total of Poilievre's real world experience outside the right wing political realm before entering politics at age 25 - was doing corporate collections over the phone for Telus - *that's it!* Poilievre has now become a multi-millionaire off the backs of CDN taxpayers after gorging at the public trough for 20 yrs!

Billionaires are doing better than ever. There are 2 churches a couple of blocks away from where I live that give out free groceries and the lines go around the block. It's not about new taxes, it's who they tax. The top federal tax bracket for individuals is 33% on the portion of taxable income over $246,752. What if somebody makes $300k or $1M? Corporate taxes are 15% max. Also, all the money that was spent during the pandemic wasn't a free gift, regular people have to pay it back while billionaires increased their wealth by $70 billion in just 2020. What party in Canada runs on increasing taxes on the rich except for communists? And nobody is talking about it.

The only people afraid of the WEF are people afraid of an exchange of ideas. Rempel Garner has stated, "I went to Davos. The World Economic Forum is not running Canada."
It all hinged on the flood of illegal immigrants,%80 young men, crossing the channel by the hundreds every day. 8 million a day being spent on housing,food, medical while British citizens are struggling to find housing and feed families.

"Canada's federal vote-by-mail system includes several security features. Election Canada uses paper ballots, which are counted by hand and, if required, re-examined and audited. Each returned ballot is kept sealed until mandatory checks are completed. Enabling electors to vote by mail The vote-by-mail process has several integrity features. Electors must apply to vote by mail with proof of identity and address. Elections Canada reviews the application and checks the ID. If we approve the application, we mail the elector a special ballot voting kit, which includes: a special ballot a plain inner envelope an outer envelope to return the marked ballot On the outer envelope, the elector signs a declaration saying that they are a qualified elector, have not yet voted, and will not try to vote again during the election. They mail the package back to Elections Canada. When Elections Canada receives the package, we check that the unique identifier on the outer envelope corresponds to the approved application. We then check that: the elector's name and electoral district code on the outer envelope match those on the application form; the elector has signed the declaration on the outer envelope; and the elector has returned only one ballot. We update our records to show that this elector's ballot was returned. To keep the secrecy of the vote, we remove the inner envelope containing the ballot from the outer envelope. By separating the envelopes, it is impossible to associate an elector's identity with their vote. To make sure electors vote only once, we use various controls. Once we have approved an elector's application to vote by mail, we mark the voters list to show that the elector has already asked for a ballot so they will not be able to vote in another way, for example, at advance polls or on election day." The Canada Elections Act states when each type of ballot can start to be counted. Local special ballots, including mail-in ballots, can only be counted after polls close. Some checks can be completed as the ballot envelopes are received, but others require information from polls on election night or the day after. While returning officers were able to conduct these checks on election night in previous elections, the volume of local electors who will be casting special ballots, including mail-in ballots, during the election will make it impossible to complete these checks on election night."
