Liberal government will throw good money after bad and bring back incentives to help rich people buy EV’s says Minister Of Airhead Ideas

Ottawa to bring back EV incentives: Minister Joly

As Canadian OEMs who assemble vehicles in Canada continue to announce delayed investments, and scaled back production plans, Canada’s newly-named federal Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly has been meeting with their leaders to encourage them to protect Canadian jobs.

After meetings with General Motors officials in Oshawa yesterday, Joly held a press briefing and answered questions from reporters.

“I’m a very pragmatic person, and I’m not naive. So we need to continue to fight for these jobs,” said Joly. “The auto sector is under huge pressure because of the U.S. tariffs.”

Virtually everything Trump does inspires ISIS recruiting says Guardian

Trump and Pete Hegseth inspiring Islamic State recruitment propaganda

Donald Trump has a long and colorful history with the Islamic State. He incorrectly blamed the founding of IS on his predecessor, said its infamous leader “died like a dog” while announcing his assassination, and rallied an international coalition that successfully ended its so-called caliphate.

So far, in his second presidency, his administration has much less to do with IS. But the terror group has still benefited from him.

Experts tell the Guardian that IS is capitalizing on Trump’s dismantling of the international order, his affinity for Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Israel, and most of all – his most controversial cabinet appointment – in its recruitment propaganda.

The Guardian is getting almost as wacky as the Globe & Mail.

‘A Crisis of Meaning’: Euthanasia Prevention Advocate Points to Cultural Shift in Canada

Canada has seen a significant cultural shift since euthanasia was legalized, marked by unsolicited offers of assisted death, lives being ended prematurely, and what some critics call its “glamorization” as an act of personal autonomy, says an advocate for the prevention of euthanasia.

The shift in public perception of assisted death is largely attributed to the expansion of euthanasia in Canada since its legalization in 2016, as well as growing acceptance of physical or emotional suffering as sufficient grounds to consider a life less bearable or no longer worth living, Amanda Achtman said in a recent interview with Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times program “American Thought Leaders.”

White House pressures Starmer over Lucy Connolly case

The White House has said it is “monitoring” the case of Lucy Connolly in an escalation of free speech tensions with Sir Keir Starmer.

State department officials are examining the treatment of Connolly, the wife of a Conservative councillor, who was jailed for 31 months over a social media post about the Southport attacks.

Judges threw out an appeal brought by the 42-year-old last week, meaning she will not be released before August.

Barbara Kay: Antisemitism plagues Canadian medical schools. It isn’t healthy

Universities are ground zero for the most virulent strains of antisemitism that plague the West today. But within them, some clusters are more problematic than others. Above all, the widespread antisemitism in university faculties of medicine and affiliated hospitals.

Simmering for decades in these departments, the October 7 pogrom unleashed a dramatic surge in its expression amongst students, faculty and practitioners that cries out for attention at the highest levels.

Antifa Violently Attack a Christian Worship Service, and Then the Story Gets So Much Worse

A Christian worship service was violently attacked by antifa and other pro-“transgender” individuals in Seattle on Saturday. Police had to intervene, leading to several arrests as black-clad and masked “counter-protesters” tried to tear down fencing and rush the event. Others exposed themselves publicly, you know, as completely normal, totally adjusted people do.

Alberta premier says Carney can stop separatist movement by connecting West to global markets

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Prime Minister Mark Carney has the power to squash a separatist movement.

Smith made the remarks Thursday afternoon as she wrapped up a meeting in Yellowknife with Canada’s western premiers, who said in a joint statement they’ve agreed to identify, plan and develop new economic corridors to connect provincial resources to international markets.

During an afternoon press conference, Smith emphasized Carney is the one with the ability to make this happen and keep Canada united.

Terence Corcoran: Is a plan to build an all-Canadian EV the key to our auto industry’s future?

With no federal budget in sight there is no way of knowing which of the Liberal government’s grand economic platform strategies and major government interventions are still on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s must-do list. The only item on the official agenda at the moment is a July 1 reduction in the middle-class tax rate from 15 to 14 per cent, a move that will cost the government about $5 billion this year and raise the 2025-26 deficit closer to $50 billion.

WENZEL: The worst housing minister in Canadian history

‘First he broke Vancouver, now he’s the Liberal housing minister for all of Canada.’

When Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed Gregor Robertson as Canada’s new Minister of Housing, Infrastructure, and Communities, the reaction from us in the homebuilding industry ranged from stunned disbelief to resigned frustration.

It was already clear that the federal government was floundering on a housing strategy that was created by incompetence, but this appointment sent an unmistakable signal that they’re doubling down on ideology over experience and on image over substance.

Lights Out, Europe: The Cost of Brussels’ Energy Fantasy

Spain’s leading energy companies—Iberdrola, Endesa, and EDP—remain stunned. After the nationwide blackout that cut power across Spain on April 28, the government has yet to provide a clear explanation or take technical responsibility. The companies, represented by the employers’ association Aelec, have denounced “surprising omissions” in the official investigation. They demand that the extreme voltage spikes recorded in the days leading up to the collapse be included in the analysis. They have criticized the preliminary report from ENTSO-E—the European network of electricity operators—for claiming that “the system was operating normally” just seconds before the failure. Meanwhile, severe voltage swings were recorded, going beyond safety limits and triggering automatic shutdowns of high-voltage substations and key refineries.

The Western Media’s Role in Genocide, Assassinations, and the Near Destruction of the U.S.

As I see it, there were three big stories this week: the media’s pretense that it was ignorant of Biden’s infirmities when it mattered; the cold-blooded assassination in D.C. of two young employees of the Israeli embassy, and the president’s refusal to join in the whitewashing of the genocide in South Africa. Examination of the details of these events reveals beyond the possibility of doubt that the mainstream press here and abroad is guided by anti-truth, antisemitic, anti-white, and anti-Western civilization animus. The press deserves a harsh reckoning: ignore them, drive down circulation and views, expose their lies and agenda.

5 Years After George Floyd’s Murder, the Backlash Takes Hold

George Floyd Mural Collapsed Under Weight Of BLM Bullshit

Black Lives Matter Plaza is gone from Washington, D.C. The bold yellow letters that once protested police violence are now paved over, though police killings nationally are actually up.

The Justice Department has abandoned oversight agreements for police forces accused of racial bias, even as it begins an investigation of Chicago after the city’s Black mayor praised the number of Black people in top city jobs. The U.S. refugee resettlement program is effectively shut down, but white South Africans have been granted an exception.

Sunday is the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, a searing moment of brutality that ignited what may have been the largest social movement in U.S. history. Five years later, the movement that his death helped begin may feel like it’s in reverse.

“The Black Lives Matter movement, kicked into high gear after Mr. Floyd’s murder on May 25, 2020, has given way to the politics of “white grievance” championed by President Trump.”

“Backlash”? “White grievance”? He misspelled “Black Fatigue”

The migrants who choose to self-deport from America

A growing number of people are leaving voluntarily rather than wait to be thrown out in President Trump’s crackdown — or risk prison in El Salvador

For Alexandra Hernández the American dream lasted less than four months.

The Venezuelan crossed the US southern border on January 18 and applied for humanitarian protection using a legal route provided by the Biden administration.

Her asylum hearing was scheduled for 2026 and she settled in Denver, hoping to work as a cleaner. But soon the news on Spanish-language social media started to frighten her. Two days after she entered the country, President Trump took office again. He announced executive orders targeting America’s millions of undocumented migrants.

Is astrology part of Gen Z’s spiritual revival?

A remarkable 30% of Americans consult astrology, tarot cards, or fortune tellers, a new US poll has revealed. Particularly striking is the finding that, among women between the ages of 18 and 59, 43% say they believe in astrology. Star signs have become culturally ubiquitous in recent years, partly thanks to technology: the app Co-Star, which uses AI to combine NASA data with the predictions of “professional astrologers”, now has over 30 million global users.
