Canada’s EV gamble looks even more foolish with Trump retaking the White House

Ottawa and Queen’s Park bet your farm on electric vehicles and the hand they’re playing looks worse every day.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford teamed up to hand $57 billion in electric vehicle manufacturing subsidies to wealthy auto giants like Volkswagen, Stellantis, Honda and General Motors in recent years.

Adam Pankratz: Of course Trudeau would arrest Netanyahu, he has no principles

On Thursday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) concluded they had identified the real criminals in the Israel-Gaza war and issued arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant were cited as being criminally responsible for a “war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.” In this, the ICC continues the general degradation of the West’s formerly venerable institutions with their seemingly bottomless inability to distinguish right from wrong.


The Mohammedans will be emboldened by Trudeau’s aktion.

Will they make an effort to desecrate Christmas as they did last year?

Trudeau funds this with your tax dollars: UNRWA Student Calls for Jews To Be ‘Wiped From All of Palestine’ in Video

Video of 14-Year-Old Unrwa Student Calling for Jews To Be ‘Wiped From All of Palestine’ Among New ‘Trove of Evidence’ About UN Agency

Palestinian children enrolled in schools operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East are reportedly being taught to “fight back and resist” so that “Palestine will be liberated and our lands will return to us by the good grace of Allah.”

That’s a direct quote from a 14-year-old student studying at an Unrwa school at Ein Arik, who is featured in a harrowing interview released by a United Nations monitoring group, UN Watch, on Wednesday. The video is just one of the documents that UN Watch — a strident critic of the agency — has pulled out from its “massive new trove of evidence” that put on display Unrwa’s “complicity with terror.”

Canadian right-wing pundit says Russia never influenced her Tenet videos

A Canadian right-wing commentator who produced videos for a media outlet now accused of pushing Russian propaganda says she was never influenced to produce content for the embattled company.

Lauren Southern, a well-known personality in conservative circles, testified Thursday before the House of Commons public safety and national security committee in the wake of a U.S. indictment linking Tenet Media to the foreign influence operation.

“I’m not being influenced by anyone,” Southern told MPs during a testy hour of testimony.

As Ukraine Fires U.S. Missiles, Putin Sends a Chilling Message

In many ways, President Vladimir V. Putin seems to be winning.

Russian forces are pushing ahead in Ukraine. President-elect Donald J. Trump is returning to the White House. War fatigue is spreading across Europe. North Korean troops have boosted the ranks of his army.

And yet on Thursday, Mr. Putin appeared weary, threatened and newly aggrieved as he took his bellicose threats against his Western adversaries to a new level.

Justin Trudeau’s amazingly unsubtle pre-election giveaway

In case Justin Trudeau’s new policy is too subtle, let this detail draw the picture: His government is lifting the GST on Christmas trees.

In the New Year, the trees will be dumped on the curb, the dead needles will be swept up, and soon afterward, by Feb. 15, the GST holiday will be over too.

But an election will soon be at hand.

French TV Channel Fined for Calling Abortion the World’s Leading Cause of Death

The French media regulator has fined the conservative channel CNews €100,000 for, during a Catholic programme, saying that abortion is the world’s leading cause of death. The episode reveals the extent to which the debate on abortion is deadlocked in France.

In February 2024, presenter Aymeric Pourbaix, during the Catholic programme “En quête d’esprit,” broadcast every Sunday on the conservative channel CNews, showed an infographic on the causes of death, ranking abortion as the leading cause, with 73 million deaths each year worldwide. That translates to 52% of annual deaths, far ahead of cancer (10 million) and smoking (6.2 million).

No ‘Trump Bump’ for Canadian Liberals after U.S. election, poll shows

One of the first politic polls of Canadians since the latest U.S. presidential election has found no evidence of a so-called “Trump Bump” for Canada’s governing Liberal party. What’s more, for the first time since the Liberals were elected in 2015, they are tied in second place with the New Democratic Party, far behind the opposition Conservatives.

Over the period from Nov. 14 to Nov. 19, Abacus Data conducted a national survey of 1,915 Canadian adults exploring several topics related to Canadian politics and current events, one of the pollster’s regular national omnibus surveys.

WTF?

“Immigration Minister Marc Miller yesterday enacted new regulations he acknowledged will cost Canadian jobs, a first for any federal cabinet. Miller’s department in a legal notice quietly reneged on a public promise to limit foreign students in the workforce: “This may result in increased competition for Canadians.””

Nato’s enemies threaten western way of life, says German general

The European way of life is in danger from Nato’s adversaries, the head of the German army warned as his French counterpart said that poorer countries were beginning to acquire destructive technologies that could overtake the West.

Military leaders have issued a series of warnings recently about Europe’s ability to defend itself as Ukraine loses ground to Russia in the east and Donald Trump’s imminent return to the White House piles pressure on America’s allies.

General Alfons Mais, the German army chief, said the time had come to be frank with the public about the price that would have to be paid to ensure their future safety, in the form of considerably higher defence spending.
