RFK Jr.’s Confirmation May Be Bumpy—or It May Not

The former Democrat has faced surprisingly little opposition from Republicans and advocates concerned about his beliefs.

When Donald Trump named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. two months ago today as his pick for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, there was widespread speculation that two big issues—vaccines and abortion—could sink the former Democrat.

But two months later, Kennedy has managed to keep his head above water by modifying his rhetoric on vaccines and promising in meetings with Republican senators to implement whatever agenda Trump wants on abortion.

Liberal rules mean non-citizens could be choosing next prime minister

That’s not a crazy or racist comment as the governing party heads into a leadership race, it’s a comment based on their rules for voting.

The Liberal Party allows people who are non-citizens of Canada and who are as young as 14 to vote in leadership races. All the parties have rules that are too loose, but the Liberals have the craziest rules of all.

It means a 14-year-old from Wuhan in China, a 15-year-old from Belgorod in Russia or a 17-year-old student from Gandhinagar in India could have as much impact as voters from Etobicoke, Calgary or Ottawa in choosing our next prime minister.
