Blood nickel: What electric-vehicle hunger has wrought, and how Canada can hel

Blood diamonds, blood cobalt, and now blood nickel. Governments leading the global shift toward electric vehicles promise cleaner cities and a new era of sustainable energy and improved resource usage. But just as governments promote EVs on environmental grounds, manufacturers are forced to source nickel from a region enabling the wanton destruction of ecologically sensitive lands, reckless treatment of workers, and the fundamental deterioration of living conditions. There is only one solution to this problem: the world needs more Canadian nickel.

EV’s look bad from more angles than the general public is yet aware of. No one is going to give up their Blood Nickle, not easily.

Netflix Co-Founder, Major Hollywood Voices Urge Biden to Step Aside

Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings on Wednesday joined a growing number of Democratic supporters in Hollywood publicly calling on President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race following his debate performance last week.

“Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,” he wrote in an email to the New York Times. Hastings is one of the biggest Democratic donors to make such a statement, having contributed more than $20 million to the party alongside his wife, Patty Quillin, over the years. The couple first started donating during the Trump administration.

It is criminal to allow Biden to remain in the race.

Ukraine’s new F-16 fighter jets will be destroyed as soon as they arrive

In a brutal and terrifying three days, Russia has wreaked havoc on the tiny, battered Ukrainian air force – lofting drones to surveil the air force’s front-line airfields and then firing ballistic missiles to destroy hard-to-replace warplanes.

As the missile campaign continues and the toll mounts – four or five aircraft were destroyed in 72 hours – it’s increasingly clear just one thing can save what’s left of Ukrainian air power. More Western-made air defenses.

But they’d better come fast.

Why Nobel Laureates Opposing Trump’s Economic Policies Is A Ringing Endorsement

In late June, 16 Nobel economists led by former World Bank Chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz issued a letter warning that a second Trump term would have “a negative impact on America’s economic standing in the world and a destabilizing effect on the U.S. domestic economy.” Among the gripes: Trump’s “fiscally irresponsible” budget plans and the “vagaries of his actions and policies” in relations with other countries.

If the past is anything to go by, this is probably the most powerful endorsement of the Trump presidency yet.

How ‘just stop Trump’ blinded US media to Biden’s obvious frailty

The story of how liberal-leaning reporters turned from enablers to critics of this administration is a tragedy of politics and ethics

The US media has finally turned on Joe Biden. Conservative outlets always disliked him, of course, but liberal-leaning journalists have provided cover for years – hitting Trump, praising Biden and downplaying the president’s physical decline.

But at the June 27 debate, the evidence became irrefutable. Biden, mumbling and confused, looked like a man who’d spotted a light and was tempted to walk towards it. The Washington Post called his performance “ninety minutes of pain”. The New York Times concluded, “To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race.”

The Democrats’ civil war has begun

The unholy alliance of oligarchs and identitarians is about to come apart.

Let the great Democratic civil war begin. The impending demise of Joe Biden and the patched-together coalition he represents is threatening to accelerate the very intra-party conflicts his presidency was meant to assuage.

In 2020, Biden was able to cobble together the remains of the old Rooseveltian New Deal coalition, along with huge support from both the oligarchic elite and the progressive left. This was possible in large part because the repellant Donald Trump alienated not only the left, including the rising Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), but also dominant elites and numerically strong moderate liberals.

California Self-Destructing

The California governor paints a rosy picture of a state that is failing badly.

Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave a 28-minute pre-recorded State of the State address and ominously opined that the state’s values and status as “a beacon of hope” are “under assault.”   

A beacon of hope?

Is Xenophobia on Chinese Social Media Teaching Real-World Hate?

The video posted last year on Chinese social media showed more than 100 Japanese children, supposedly at an elementary school in Shanghai, gathered in their schoolyard. Chinese subtitles quoted two students leading the group as screaming: “Shanghai is ours. Soon the whole China will be ours, too.”

The messages were alarming and infuriating in China, which Japan invaded during World War II. Except that the scene actually took place at an elementary school in Japan. And the students were not stoking hatred of China; they were swearing an oath to play fair at what looked like a sporting event.

China may be the most Xenophobic state on Earth.

RUBENSTEIN: A not-so-sacred covenant

On June 21, the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, legally known as the Kamloops Indian Band, finally released the full text of a sacred covenant that was signed on March 31, Easter Sunday, with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver and the Diocese of Kamloops.

Trudeau Campaigns On The Public Dime 24/7 But … OMG! Poilievre’s Conservatives spent more than 20 times as much on ads as Trudeau’s Liberals in 2023

OTTAWA—The Conservative party massively outspent the Liberal party on advertising in 2023, raising questions about how the embattled Trudeau Liberals have responded as they slide in the polls and whether the party should shift its strategy in the aftermath of a shocking Toronto byelection loss last week.

Newly released financial statements show the Conservative Party spent $8.5 million to get its message out last year — more than 20 times as much as the governing Liberals, who spent just over $380,000 on advertising.

They treat government as a giant propaganda apparatus.

Freeland says ‘vast, vast majority’ of monkey’s flying out of her butt support Trudeau

Freeland says ‘vast, vast majority’ of Liberal caucus supports Trudeau

The “vast, vast majority” of Liberal MPs continue to support their leader, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland insisted Thursday.

Her comments came as questions continued to swirl about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership — and whether he has the full support of a caucus he has not met with since last week’s shocking byelection upset in Toronto last week.
