And today's Gospel where Jesus says that a kingdom divided will be brought to desolation...
A Federal election was just announced TODAY. The good news is that Justin Trudeau, embodiment of Wokeism, has resigned, Deo gratias!
The bad news is that Liberals have made unbelievable gains in the past 17 days. I would dare add that Canadian elections are fair...gotta have ID proof. But in Quebec, where the Ma fia is very powerful, I can't say...murders here and there. USA murder stats 6.1/100K vs. Canadian 2.3 .
Latest polling number:
(Right Wing) Conservatives: Poilievre 35 %
(Left Wing) Liberals: Carney 34%
This is a hint that Canadians are divided.

Below is a brief excerpt re: the origin of the political terms LEFT vs. RIGHT.
AF means Action Française
https://www.illiberalism.org/blurring-boundaries-the-catholic-traditionalist-and-identitarian-nexus-in-the-contemporary-french-far-right/"...The following year, in 1899, the AF was created to gather the anti-Semitic anti-Dreyfusards under one roof. But this story goes far beyond the life story of Dreyfus, because it forced the left to unite, marking a new phase in the history of French politics. Indeed, the new left-wing cabinet then pursued an anticlerical policy that culminated in the formal separation of church and state in 1905. Finally, by intensifying antagonisms between right and left, and by forcing individuals to choose sides, the Dreyfus affair made a lasting impact on the way French people perceived politics. From then on, French politics featured two blocs: the far right on one side, and the left on the other. While “left–right” terminology found its antecedents in the physical seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, where supporters of the Ancien Regime sat on the president’s right and supporters of the Revolution to his left, it was during this period nearly a century later that the French left-right divide, as we understand it today, was created. It was also at this time that the extreme right we know today appeared.
The AF had several organizational forms throughout its history: In April 1898, Henri Vaugeois and Maurice Pujo created a “comité d’Action Française,” a private committee, i.e. a small group of intellectuals who met regularly at the Café de Flore. The AF would not become a movement open to the public until the following year. At its first conference on June 20, 1899, Vaugeois defined the purpose of the AF and the meaning of his commitment: “All the evil from which the country suffers,” Vaugeois saw as attributable to “the Protestant spirit, the Masonic spirit and above all to the Jєωιѕн spirit, which, for some years now, has dominated all French politics.”
[8] At that point, the AF had become a public movement, but it was not yet a political organization..."
