#1009 Biden’s Gone, Trudeau Hangs On
All this talk of major leaders stepping aside, but it’s the Mayor of Kamloops BC, Reid Hamer-Jackson, who has our attention.

In a raucous ‘resignation related” press conference, Hamer-Jackson singles out one Kamloops media member, radio host Brett Mineer, in particular.

Plus, Kamala Harris replaces Joe Biden, and the Canadian media revives her tenuous connections to Canada. Shouldn’t we be pressuring Trudeau to step aside? Jen Gerson explains why messianic ego and the Liberal’s lack of grit will keep Trudeau in place until the next election.
