Canada to Hit China With 100% Tariffs on Electric Vehicles, 25% on Steel

Canada will impose new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, aluminum and steel, lining up behind western allies and taking steps to protect domestic manufacturers.

The government plans to announce a 100% levy on electric cars and 25% on steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is still private. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to unveil the policy in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he’s gathered with the rest of his cabinet for a series of meetings about the economy and foreign relations.

Burning of Holy Qur’an shows Israel’s war against Islam: CAIR

Nihad Awad, the executive director of CAIR said in a statement on this organization’s website that the blasphemous acts and filming themselves while burning the Qur’an and destroying mosques once again showed that Israel’s war against Palestinians is also a war against Islam.

Awad called on the administration of US President Joe Biden to condemn the desecration of Muslim religious sanctities and suspend the transfer of arms to the Zionist regime to force it to end its campaign of massacre and starving people in Gaza.

Biometrics in the workplace may be the way of the future. But at what cost?

When Ellie Thomson arrives at work, she doesn’t punch in on a physical clock or even check in on an app. Instead, she scans her finger.

“Seeing everyone else go ahead and do it, it just figured like the right thing to do and there was no issues with it,'” Thomson told Cost of Living.

Thomson is a 21-year-old server and bartender at charbar in Calgary. She’s one of many employees who now use biometric technology such as fingerprint scanning to clock in and out, and that number is rising.

Trudeau’s commitment to senate reform joins the pile of other broken promises

In 2015, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper made headlines for his stated desire to reform the senate. In a bold move, Harper said his government would no longer appoint senators until there was meaningful change in the red chamber.

The Canadian Constitution outlines that the senate make up is divided among provinces and territories. To make structural changes to the makeup and powers of the senate, provincial approval representing two-thirds of the provinces representing at least 50 per cent of the population is required.

Sweden’s Migration Turn

Sweden has seen a massive increase in immigration in the 2000s under governments of both left and right, a product of (take your pick) generosity, naïvety, and a self-congratulatory sense of mission (the belief, which has manifested itself in different ways over the years, that Sweden was a moral or, more modestly, humanitarian superpower) supplemented, under center-right governments between 2006-14, by a sort of libertarianism.

The Stakes for Women in This Election Are Enormous

Under a Harris administration that supports transgender ideology and Islamic fundamentalism women face immeasurable harm.

Is abortion the only issue that affects women’s lives?

In my view, the Democrat Party is brazenly erasing womankind across the board. They support gender not sex-based rights, which seems to mean the end of sports for girls and women and the weird requests to identify one’s gender “assigned at birth” and how one identifies now on medical forms and school applications.

Iran: Good and Bad News Are the Same

The good news from Iran is that there isn’t going to be any change in the way the Islamic Republic has always behaved. This is to say, the “Supreme Guide” has decided to swallow his latest humiliation caused by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination in Tehran and refrain from seeking “hard revenge” as his more radical followers hoped. On Tuesday, a group of Revolutionary Guards raided the German Goethe Institute in Tehran and shut and sealed it in retaliation to the German government’s closing of an Iranian propaganda center in Hamburg last month.

The bad news is also the same: there isn’t going to be any change in the way the Islamic Republic has always behaved. Newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian isn’t going to be the Iranian Gorbachev, as the pro-US faction in the ruling clique had hoped.

The Gaza pier debacle: it’s worse

“… Since then, the media, and the Harris/Biden Administration–Joe Biden, vanishing POTUS—have ignored the unfolding debacle. The pier, badly damaged and sort of repaired, supposedly has been dismantled, and multiple US Army(?) ships are in little better shape. Earlier reports indicated those ships had substantial difficulty, so poor was their mechanical condition, even getting to the Middle East. Now it appears they’re no longer able to return to America under their own power. “

Why aren’t left-wing anti-immigration parties called fascists?

It is almost six years to the day since the charismatic German left-wing politician Sahra Wagenknecht launched a new movement to counter the rise of the far-right in her country.

What distinguished ‘Aufstehen’ (Stand Up) from the rest of the left was its negative view of mass immigration. Wagenknecht’s movement was greeted more with curiosity than animosity by the left-wing European press. Under the headline, ‘The emergence of an anti-migrant left in Germany’, the French paper, Le Monde, said it might herald ‘the start of a promising adventure, which could profoundly shake up the country’s political life’.

The Hollywood liberals who rule America

Will movie stars put Kamala in the Oval Office?

My father told me that those who work in Hollywood are America’s aristocrats. Everyone else is a civilian. It was a concept that said less about how the world perceived my father than about how he perceived himself. After all, he had been nominated twice for Academy Awards. He knew Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra. Did such things not qualify him to be, in the words of the great Romantic poet Percy Shelley, an unacknowledged legislator of the world?

Somalia: The Near Complete Islamization of a Society

Overwhelmed by Islamic persecution, a tiny community of Somalian Christians lives in fear for their lives

At least 37 people were killed and scores wounded during an attack by an al-Shabaab suicide bomber and gunmen at a popular beach in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, on August 3.

Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for numerous bombings and attacks in Mogadishu as well as other parts of Somalia. Last month, five people were killed in a powerful car bomb blast at a café in the capital. In March, militants killed three people and wounded 27 during an hours-long siege of a Mogadishu hotel.

Swarmings at a Peach Festival?

Police increasing presence at Hamilton area festivals after swarmings. At Peach Fest, officers ‘likely prevented a shooting’

Hamilton police are increasing the number of officers at community festivals over the next couple of months following a spat of swarming attacks and robberies involving youths at the events last year.

The increased police presence began with the Winona Peach Festival this weekend, where police intervened in several incidents Saturday night.

This new Canada is a Peach!
