China’s production of batteries for electric vehicles is “definitely not clean,” says energy expert Diana Furchtgott-Roth.
Without its own vast natural energy resources, China is the world’s largest energy importer, but has seized on the economic opportunities of the “green energy” movement. Yet the production of products such as EVs is causing harm to the environment, says Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment.

Pierre Poilievre and Doug Ford don’t have a lot in common, except maybe their desire to hold elections early.
Yes, they are conservatives and chances are that the many Ontarians who have voted for Ford are likely leaning toward voting for the federal Conservatives when the next election comes.
Both leaders in their own ways would call themselves populists, too.
The British taxpayer is footing the bill for a record number of out-of-work migrants, who are reportedly costing the government up to £8.5 billion per year.
A record 1,689,000 foreigners are currently unemployed or otherwise “economically inactive” in the UK, according to analysis of government figures by the Centre for Immigration Control. The think tank noted that the current level is the highest in British history, surpassing the previous high in 2012 of 1,628,000.
There are indications of unmarked graves at a former residential school site in Opaskwayak Cree Nation near The Pas.
Community leaders announced the findings from a team that specializes in searching for graves and human remains detection dogs at the Former Mckay Indian Residential School grounds Friday.
Band says cadaver dogs found something.
CBC jumps to conclusion that it’s graves.
CBC doesn’t report they’re of children murdered by their teachers but the band takes that additional leap:
“Children want to be found.”
Why?
Because they were murdered.
Duh. https://t.co/UxOWeg76qa— Jim McMurtry (@JimMcMurtry01) August 31, 2024

Some time in 2022, Iran began building its first aircraft carrier. Two years later, Shahid Bahman Bagheri is nearing completion. Recent photos reveal important finishing touches to the nearly 800-foot vessel, including an angled flight deck with markings to help guide landing aircraft.
Bagheri is not a proper purpose-built carrier like the US Navy’s thousand-foot supercarriers. Instead, she’s a commercial container ship with modifications that allow her to launch and land small aircraft – almost certainly drones.
We’re gonna love this new warfare.
In both world wars surreptitiously armed merchant ships were sent to roam the seas preying on the unwary.
City bureaucrats ordered a 140-year-old stone carving depicting Christopher Columbus to be removed from display and hidden in a wooden area in Scarborough’s Guild Park in 2021, the Toronto Sun has learned.
After five weeks of slobbering media coverage akin to the rhetorical version of a hot stone massage, Kamala Harris finally left the bubble that has carried her to record fundraising and competitive poll numbers with Donald Trump in key swing states.
And then the bubble burst.

Summertime in Toronto is marked by days and nights at beaches, park gatherings and, of course, festivals. From Salsa on St. Clair to Taste of Manila to the Caribbean Carnival, they reflect the immense ethnic and racial diversity of this city, which has a population that is more than 50 per cent people of colour and home to many immigrants and refugees.
Among these many festivals is an event that is marred by controversy.
JUST IN: Kamala Harris appears to be trying to back out of the September 10 debate after her dismal CNN interview.
The revelation comes just after ABC News rejected her demands, saying they would adopt the same rules as the CNN debate.

The far right is on the cusp of winning the most votes in German state elections for the first time since the Nazis.
For some in Germany, the rise of Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a literal nightmare.
But others, particularly in the east, say the AfD is a chance for change.
All year, the temperature has been rising in German politics and Sunday’s vote in Thuringia and Saxony may be the boiling point.

Ah yes a McGill protestor repeats the century old folk lore that anyone you disagree with is secretly serving solely nothing else but the Jewish Zionists overlords.

REGINA — Saskatchewan’s two largest school divisions say they’ve addressed concerns from teachers and are enforcing the province’s pronoun law as children head back to classrooms next week.
Jason Coleman, superintendent of student achievement at Regina Public Schools, said students under 16 who want to change their names or pronouns in school are required to have parental consent. Older students can do so without it.
African American women are the workhorses of the Democrats – consistently demonstrating the strongest loyalty to both the party and its individual candidates, both Black and White. According to a Pew Research report, 95 per cent of Black women voted for Joe Biden in 2020 – roughly the same percentage as supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012. Indeed, led by powerhouse African-American former State Representative Stacey Abrams, Black women were crucial in securing Georgia for Biden in 2020, the first time a Democrat had taken the state in nearly 30 years.
BREAKING: Black women all over the country have joined forces to create a VIRAL movement called "IM NOT WITH HER," referring to their choice to abandon Kamala Harris and vote for Trump
HISTORY IS HAPPENING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!! 🔥 🔥 #IMNOTWITHHER

Electric vehicle prices would need to drop by nearly a third for Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s ambitious sales mandate to be feasible, according to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Office.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the mandate requires that 60% of new passenger vehicle sales be electric by 2030, but the Budget Office raised concerns about the economic viability of this target.
