The transition to greener, more sustainable transportation is impracticable as copper mine production cannot keep up with the rising global demand for electric vehicles, according to a new study.
“I think there’s a disconnect between, what the intentions are to meet the global warming challenges and the reality of the materials that are going to be required,” said Dr. Lawrence Cathles, an earth and atmospheric sciences professor at Cornell University.
The stalemate in the Democratic Party is likely to continue for some time, as Joe Biden awkwardly made it through his “big boy” press conference. Biden may have done enough to survive for the time being—albeit barely—but at what cost? Democrats are still worried he’s going to lose big, and Joe Biden still believes that he is the Democrat best positioned to defeat Donald Trump.
The leader of Canada’s Conservative Party has opened up a bigger lead among voters on the question of who would be the best economic manager, underscoring the political challenges faced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
About 30 per cent of respondents in a recent Nanos Research Group survey for Bloomberg say they trust Pierre Poilievre the most among national party leaders to support economic growth. That’s a gap of more than 10 points over Trudeau, who’s the first choice of just 19 per cent.
The decision to withhold such enormous sums of money is one of the most concrete examples of the fallout from President Biden’s poor debate performance at the end of June.
Some major Democratic donors have told the largest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that pledges worth roughly $90 million are now on hold if President Biden remains atop the ticket, according to two people who have been briefed on the conversations.
The frozen contributions include multiple eight-figure commitments, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation. The decision to withhold such enormous sums of money is one of the most concrete examples of the fallout from Mr. Biden’s poor debate performance at the end of June.
Pierre Poilievre says NATO allies treated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau like a human piñata at the leaders’ summit this week — but he still won’t commit to the alliance’s spending goal.
The Conservative leader says Canada has lost its place on the international stage under the Liberal government, and Trudeau lectures the world without doing his part.
Joe Biden’s gaffes have ruined months of hard work and undermined the Nato summit, diplomatic sources told The Telegraph.
On stage, Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz defended the president over a slip of the tongue in which he called Volodymyr Zelensky “President Putin”.
The US leader went on to call Kamala Harris “vice-president Trump”.
OTTAWA — For political staffers who worked for former finance minister Bill Morneau when he resigned in 2020, Thursday morning must have felt like Groundhog Day.
“Tension rises between Freeland, PMO over economic messaging, low approval ratings,” read a Globe and Mail headline splashed over the newspaper’s website Thursday.
Sure Justin … Mark Carney would be ‘outstanding’ addition to federal politics, Trudeau says
A manhunt is continuing after a suitcase containing human remains was found on Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge.
The historic bridge reopened on Friday after Avon and Somerset Police closed its roads in both directions to investigate the area the day before.

England is so diverse.
Chris Elston—known online as ‘Billboard Chris,’ a Canadian activist often seen wearing a sandwich board reading “children cannot consent to puberty blockers”—has been censored by the Australian eSafety commissioner.
At the June 15 event at L.A.’s Peacock Theater, some donors said this week that they noticed Biden seemed slow. He seemed frail. As he greeted donors lined up for photos, he trailed off or spoke too quietly in small talk conversation to be heard.
Hollywood executives, performers and thousands of other Californians filed into a Los Angeles theater last month, expecting a star-studded fundraiser for President Biden, backed by actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts, that would inject millions of dollars into Biden’s static campaign and launch him on a path to beat Donald Trump in November.
Instead, many attendees — led by Clooney — now say they watched a dud and a preview screening of what the nation saw two weeks later in Biden’s prime-time debate against Trump.
Don’t Go Joe!
Justin Trudeau wants you to know that it’s Stephen Harper’s fault Canada isn’t meeting it’s NATO commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defence.
Sure, Trudeau has been prime minister for almost nine years and in that time government spending has grown from $289 billion to $535 billion over that time – an 85% increase
The IDF publicized its first probe into Israel’s October 7 failure to prevent Hamas’s invasion, focusing in on the invasion of Beeri in the South, which parallels central Gaza, and which was overwhelmingly destroyed.
During the invasion, 101 Beeri residents were killed, 30 hostages were taken, of which 11 are still being held by Hamas in Gaza, 150 houses were destroyed, and several complete security breakdowns took place.
From the start of Hamas’s breaking through the Beeri security gate at 6:55 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., between 80-220 Hamas terrorists at anyone time (a total of 340 Hamas forces participated) massively outnumbered Israeli defenders, who had only between 13-26 fighters at any given moment.
Demonstrators took to the streets of downtown Montreal Thursday night in protest of the McGill University encampment’s dismantling.
What began as a pro-Palestinian gathering at Phillips Square around 9 p.m. quickly consumed central downtown. Chanting protesters, many of them masked, moved down Ste-Catherine St., with police in riot gear containing them on either side.

The anti-Israel protest movement that seized university campuses across the country is packing up and going home.
Following an Ontario court injunction on July 2 that saw the encampment at the University of Toronto dismantled the following day, similar university encampments across the country are fast disappearing, mostly of their own accord.
