Vegan event is branded as the new ‘Fyre Festival’ with attendees revealing how they were forced to wait HOURS in the hot sun with no shade or water

A festival dedicated to vegans has been declared the ‘Fyre Festival’ of plant-based treats – after attendees claimed the event consisted of long queues, insufficient staff, and lack of water and shade.

Vegandale, which was held on September 14 at Citi Field in Queens, New York, attracted thousands of eager vegans, who descended on the stadium, excited to check out the 200-plus vegan vendors and musical performances.

However, the festival struggled to keep up with the immense crowds, leaving ticketholders fuming after they were forced to wait in line for hours in the heat and struggled to find shade or water.

How Prince Andrew went from royal pin-up to disowned disgrace

His finest hour came in 1982 when he returned, coated in glory, from Falklands War duty with a rose between his teeth. Andymania was rife and teenagers were reported to swoon in his presence. But alas from then on it was all downhill – his service record was sufficient to promise a successful career as a naval officer, but while on secondment to the Ministry of Defence he allegedly fell foul of the admirals, towering figures who weren’t prepared to put up with his high-handed manner.

To them he was a sailor, not a prince – and if he couldn’t conform to accepted standards of behaviour there was no place for him in the service.

His life is a train wreck.

“Maduro is politically dead”: Voices from Venezuela in Madrid

Last Tuesday, an event titled “Venezuela: Chronicle of a predicted fraud and prospects for a way out,” organised by the Madrid office of the Hungarian Centre for Fundamental Rights, took place in a central hotel in the capital. The debate, moderated by Jorge González Gallarza, was attended by Edmaly Maucó Toro, from the Foro Madrid and the Fundación Disenso; David Placer, a Venezuelan journalist and the author of Los brujos de Chávez (Chávez’s sorcerers) and El dictador y sus demonios (The dictator and his demons); and Alejandro Peña Esclusa, the author of numerous books and a leading expert on the activities of the São Paulo Forum.

Philip Cross: R.I.P., Canadian carbon tax

With both the federal NDP and B.C.’s NDP government backing away from support for the carbon tax, it is time to pronounce the tax politically dead in Canada, with precise funeral arrangements to be made after the next federal election. Conservative governments across Canada have long opposed a carbon tax, and federal leader Pierre Poilievre is anxious to fight the next election on the issue. But now even Liberal support is flagging, with Newfoundland’s Liberal government attacking the tax as too costly for households. The federal Liberals themselves acknowledged the tax was a problem when they provided a carve-out for home heating oil, which is heavily used in Atlantic Canada.

So guess what I have been doing today …

My washer went on the fritz. The seal gave way and I ended up with a small pond in the laundry room.

We paid roughly $1600.00 bucks for the washer dryer combo maybe 10 or 12 years ago.

So I went appliance shopping yesterday. It was eye opening.

An LG combo was on sale so before taxes it was only a couple of hundred bucks more than the old set.

We had repairs done on both the old washer and the dryer to the tune of $400.00 each over the years. So it made sense to go with a new combo especially given the manufacturer changed the stackable mounting system and the dimensions of newer models so I can’t stack my old dryer on a new washer. Pity as it still works.

Carson Jerema: The Trudeau-Singh coalition lives

Under Jagmeet Singh, New Democrats have never been more obsolete, or more unnecessary. They’ve been outflanked on the left by Justin Trudeau’s cartoonishly progressive government, while Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have persuaded workers and young people to join their side, leaving Singh to sound ever more ridiculous, as he talks like his ascension to the prime minister’s office is all but imminent.

They lied. It never ended.

US Border Stopped 1,200 Terror Suspects From Canada, Urges Tighter Immigration

Canada has long defended its generous immigration policy, but has recently reversed course. Many assume this is temporary pandering that will soon loosen, but the odds are slanted towards further tightening. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data shows the country has stopped over 1,200 terror suspects on their “Watchlist” attempting to cross from Canada in just 4 years. An issue that was virtually non-existent prior to 2020, it’s now seeing explosive growth that will result in big changes—either to how Canada conducts immigration or how Canadians are treated at the border.

Why Are the Nutjobs Trying to Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?

Murderous political violence in the United States today is not an all-of-the-above phenomenon.

In Aug. 2012, a left-wing MSNBC aficionado named Floyd Lee Corkins armed himself with a handgun and extra magazines. He drove to the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the socially conservative Family Research Council, planning to shoot it up. Corkins, who later cited the Southern Poverty Law Center for the proposition that the FRC is an “anti-gay” organization, was also carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he hoped to stuff in his dead victims’ mouths. Corkins, who served as a volunteer at a local LGBT community center, was stopped by an unarmed security guard.

Progressives Thrive on Deceit

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” – George Orwell, 1984

To remake America, progressives have centered on a strategy of rewriting history, distorting current events, changing language, and using false allegations of disinformation, malinformation (facts progressives believe are presented out of context), and racism to censor and suppress centrists and conservatives.

Facing Current Realities, Governments in Canada Abandon Experimental Policies

B.C.’s NDP Premier David Eby last week became the latest politician to distance himself from the carbon tax, while his federal counterpart Jagmeet Singh said he opposes the Liberals’ version of the scheme.

Before that, B.C. did a U-turn on its hard drugs decriminalization experiment, asking the feds to remove the Criminal Code exemption amid rising drug use. As well, in a province that once pioneered various harm reduction and safe injection site policies, amid backlash the government sought to bring in legislation to limit drug use in parks where children play, though it was challenged in the courts.
