Canada’s EV transition could cost more than $300 billion by 2040, report says

Canada’s electric-vehicle transition could cost more than $300 billion by 2040 as the installation of charging infrastructure expands, upgrades to the electrical grid are made and other changes take place, according to a report released by Natural Resources Canada.

The report, an update to a 2021 study that Natural Resources Canada also commissioned, forecasts that Canada needs to significantly accelerate the pace of installing charging infrastructure to add 40,000 public charging ports per year on average between now and 2040. That is a big increase given that there are currently around 32,000 public ports across the country, and roughly 11,000 public charging ports were installed in 2023.

Mothers Blame China, Cartels for Using Fentanyl to Wage War on US Families

Marquita Berry remembers hearing music playing softly as she walked into her son’s bedroom last October.

She found him sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, leaning forward, with one earbud resting on his shoulder.

“I reached out to touch him, and I could tell that he was no longer….” Ms. Berry said, her voice trailing off.

Secret Service’s Incompetence Is Exactly Why We Need Trump To Dismantle The Deep State

The failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, one of the worst security fiascoes in American history, reflects a core truth that fuels the MAGA movement and makes the case for reelecting its leader to the Oval Office: Our leading institutions are so corrupted and incompetent that the purported experts who run them cannot or will not execute their most basic functions.

When it comes to the Secret Service, its singular duty is to protect the life and limb of the subjects to whom it is detailed. On July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, it failed that mission in a spectacular fashion.

Biden’s anti-Israel policies have failed to capture the Dearborn vote

Ever since October 7, Biden has been doing his best to put the brakes on Israel’s efforts against Hamas. By doing so, he turned what should have been a short war that destroyed a tyrannical enemy and probably freed the Gazans as much as it did the Israelis into a long war with a higher-than-necessary death toll on both sides. He did this to placate the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat party, especially the voters in Dearborn, Michigan. However, his deadly efforts have failed. Dearborn hates Biden.

The Trump shooting has exposed the scourge of safetyism

It was bad enough that the US Secret Service agents surrounding Donald Trump during last Saturday’s assassination attempt appeared distracted as they fumbled with the holsters holding their guns. But it has now emerged that they took a conscious decision not to put operatives on the roof from where shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was later to launch his attack. Why? Because doing so would pose a health-and-safety risk. Apparently, the sloped roof used by Trump’s would-be assassin was deemed ‘too dangerous’ for agents to use. Such institutionalised cowardice ought to disturb every public figure facing the threat of political violence.

Global Greening Becomes so Obvious That Climate Alarmists Start Arguing We Need to “Save the Deserts”!

The world is ‘greening’ at an astonishing and rapidly growing rate and deserts are shrinking almost everywhere you look. All due, it seems, to a natural rise in carbon ‘plant food’ dioxide, not forgetting the small annual 4% portion contributed by humans burning hydrocarbons. Inconvenient to the political Net Zero narrative of course – along with high numbers of polar bears, cyclical recovery in Arctic sea ice and recent record growth of coral on the Great Barrier Reef – so there is naturally little mention in mainstream media and politics. “Desertification is turning the Earth barren,” reports the Guardian, and the expansion of drylands is leaving entire countries “facing famine”. Great story, shame about the facts. A recent article in Yale Environment 360 states that rather than shrivelling and dying, vegetation is growing faster and deserts are retreating.

Whodunnit?

On Saturday, July 14, a 20-year-old local boy with virtually no online footprint or history of political radicalism brought a ladder and rifle to the Pennsylvania grounds where presidential candidate Donald Trump was about to speak to supporters. The would-be assassin stationed himself on a low, unsecured, slightly sloped rooftop with a direct line of sight to Trump, a mere 130 yards away, and got off a shot that came within a hair’s breadth of killing the likely next President. A Secret Service sniper then eliminated the threat (but only after he got off a total of eight shots, murdering one Trump supporter and critically wounding two others).

Out of the Fires of Leeds

England must see a change now or it will be lost forever.

Yesterday, smoke rose from a city of just over 500,000 inhabitants in West Yorkshire, namely the city of Leeds. A very large minority took to the streets to riot. A bus was set on fire; buildings and cars were smashed apart; and police personnel were attacked, with many of their vehicles being damaged, including at least one police car being overturned. Police were forced to flee the area in which the violence was erupting, and thereafter, the rioters were seemingly left in peace to continue their rampage.

Conrad Black: Donald Trump, the survivor, will make a great president

The renomination of Donald Trump makes him only the second president who could win nonconsecutive terms. This induces me to return to my annual attempt to explain to Canadian Trump-haters the sources of the present stark division in American politics. In 2015, Donald Trump was almost the only prominent American who detected the level of discontent in the lower half of American income earners. Donald Trump had been polling comprehensively across the United States for years. He saw the political implications of these figures and concluded that the bipartisan consensus in Washington was failing a steadily larger number of Americans.

Question Time for Kimberly Cheatle

The Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, will finally present herself on Capitol Hill Monday to be questioned in respect of the assassination attempt on President Trump. She was last seen being pursued through the convention hall at Milwaukee by a group of Republican senators shouting demands for answers. “This was an assassination attempt,” hollered Senator Blackburn. “You owe the people answers.” Herewith some questions compiled by the Sun.

TERRAZZANO: Trudeau’s bureaucrat hiring spree is out of control

Bureaucrats love to think of themselves as “public servants,” but who is really serving who around here?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau added another 10,525 bureaucrats to the taxpayer payroll last year. Since becoming prime minister, Trudeau has added more than 108,000 new federal bureaucrats.

He is literally buying voters with our money.

From Honor Student to the Gunman Who Tried to Kill Donald Trump

Thomas Crooks was a brainy and quiet young man who built computers and won honors at school, impressing his teachers. Then he became a would-be assassin.

For Thomas Crooks, the suburban Pittsburgh nursing home where he served meals and washed dishes for $16 an hour was another solitary corner of a nearly invisible life. He was polite but distant, a former co-worker said, ate lunch alone in the break room and rarely spoke with anyone.

But as western Pennsylvania geared up last week for the boisterous spectacle of hosting a rally for former President Donald J. Trump, Mr. Crooks approached his bosses with a request, law enforcement officials said: He wanted to take Saturday off.

He told them he had something important to do.

Canada Pledges to Meet NATO Spending Goal. It Won’t Be Easy.

Long seen as punching below its weight, Canada, the world’s second-largest country by area and one of its seven wealthiest economies, said it would meet its NATO pledge to significantly bolster its military spending by 2032.

But everything about the commitment, which NATO is pushing all alliance members to make, is fraught.

Some have criticized the timeline as too protracted, though it is actually compressed if seen through the lens of the slow pace of global military hardware production.
