Le professeur d’histoire Allan Lichtman avait promis de révéler ses prédictions après la convention du Parti démocrate.

L’État d’Israël a intensifié son offensive contre le Hezbollah dans le sud du Liban, au moyen d’attaques à l’explosif par téléavertisseurs (!) et de frappes de missiles.

| Blocage des nouvelles : « des multimilliardaires décident ce qui est bon pour nous »Le blocage des nouvelles sur Facebook et Instagram dure depuis plus d’un an. Les Canadiens sont les seuls au monde à ne plus avoir accès aux médias d’information fiable sur les plateformes appartenant à Mark Zuckerberg. Le 1er août 2023, Meta a retiré de ses plateformes le contenu des médias canadiens, en réaction à la Loi sur les nouvelles en ligne. Depuis, les Canadiens consommeraient moins de nouvelles, tout simplement parce qu’ils en voient moins. Une étude menée par des chercheurs de l’Université McGill et de l’Université de Toronto évoque…

| Chronique de Réjean Porlier ǀ Cette pertinence du Bloc Québécois**Vous allez finir par penser que je m’acharne sur François Legault, mais on dirait qu’il m’invite continuellement et malgré lui à la danse. Encore dernièrement, comme s’il n’en avait pas assez dans sa propre cour avec ce qu’on appellera bientôt la saga Northvolt, il invitait le Bloc Québécois à faire tomber le gouvernement de Justin Trudeau.** Le prétexte… l’immigration ! Bien sûr, il y a une insatisfaction quant à la gouvernance du premier ministre canadien, dans ce dossier comme dans d’autres. M. Trudeau carbure davantage aux belles paroles qu’à l’action,…

| Comment fait-on tomber un gouvernement?Même si le gouvernement Trudeau survivra vraisemblablement à un vote de confiance mercredi, ce genre de test est appelé à se multiplier au cours des prochains mois. Inévitablement, le Parlement sera dissous et des élections seront déclenchées. Par quelle mécanique un gouvernement peut-il tomber? Voici un petit cours de procédure 101. ## 1) Qu’est ce qu’un vote de confiance? Dans la tradition parlementaire, le premier ministre doit absolument avoir l’appui d’une majorité de députés de la Chambre des communes pour rester au pouvoir. Cette confiance est testée lors de votes,…

| Des amendes élevées pour l’abattage sans permisLes citoyens sont tenus de demander un permis auprès de la Ville pour tout abattage d’arbres sur leur propriété, et ce, même si l’arbre est mort ou qu’il présente un danger. Le non-respect de cette démarche met le citoyen à risque de recevoir des amendes au montant élevé, d’ailleurs amplifié cette année. Être propriétaire vient avec l’idée naturelle de pouvoir faire à sa guise sur son terrain.
