A recent poll by Leger, commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), reveals that 70% of Canadians support a carbon tax exemption on propane and natural gas for farmers.
The findings come as MPs debate Bill C-234, which seeks to extend the carbon tax exemption to these essential farm fuels.
“The poll is clear: the vast majority of Canadians want the government to get farmers relief from the carbon tax,” said Gage Haubrich, CTF Prairie Director.
Sweden’s Security Service Säpo confirmed on Thursday that the Iranian regime is recruiting criminals to conduct attacks on Jewish targets in the Scandinavian country. This corroborates earlier intelligence reports from Israel’s spy agency Mossad.
At a joint press conference with the Foreign Ministry in Stockholm, Swedish counter-intelligence chief Daniel Stenling described Iran as wanting to use “criminal networks” as “proxies.” He indicated Iran’s chargé d’affaires would be summoned to a meeting on Friday to answer the claims.
It’s been three years since Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanne Casimir announced “the confirmation of the remains of 215 children who were students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School.”
The news rocked the nation and made headlines around the world. Demonstrations erupted, and apologies were offered by the government along with hundreds of millions of dollars to investigate alleged burials of residential school children. Up to 100 churches in Canada were vandalized or burned to the ground in reaction to the news. The Canadian flag was kept at half-mast for nearly six months, and the Pope came to Canada to beg forgiveness.
Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux and his staff are among the few independent, non-partisan sources of information that critically examine the cost of federal government policies.
Without the PBO and the auditor general, Canadians would be at the perpetual mercy of the federal government’s massive public relations bureaucracy, which presents all government policies in the most positive light possible.
The country we love has become unlovely.
It pains me to say that. But I can’t help but feel the same anguish written on the faces of friends who, like me, grew up in the justice system. Friends who couldn’t care less about Donald Trump, who won’t vote for him, who look at the cynical circus that just closed down in lower Manhattan as still more confirmation of his appalling judgment and character . . . but who remember what American law enforcement was at its imperfect best. Friends who verge on weeping openly over what’s happened to it.
Since at least as far back as 1917, when the U.S. unwisely intervened in World War I to rescue the Western Allies, the major European nations have grown accustomed to American largesse. Americans have played the role of overindulgent parents, and the Europeans have responded as would entitled children who both demand handouts and then resent the parents who supply them.
A large proportion of Europeans have negative opinions of the U.S. They consider us arrogant and selfish. As a result, we have been labeled as “the Ugly Americans” for decades.
It turns out that babies are good little assets to have around. Despite famed catastrophist Paul Ehrlich (still) warning of imminent population-driven “famines, pandemics, water shortages, climate disasters, resource wars,” the earth is awash in natural resources, with some experts attributing the abundance to humans having acted fruitfully by multiplying.
Leftist District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s show trial delivered the Democrat Party’s dream: A felony conviction against their most hated political enemy.
The prosecution and the trial also were also littered with legal landmines and “reversible error” that should make former President Donald Trump’s looming appeal a slam dunk, legal experts say.
Author and journalist Edward Jay Epstein, who died at 88 in January, “made a career of questioning accepted narratives, from the Kennedy assassination to the Black Panthers to the diamond industry.” In his last book, Assume Nothing: Encounters with Assassins, Spies, Presidents, and Would-be Masters of the Universe, Epstein revisited many of those narratives, including one still clinging to the Black Panthers.
The guilty verdict against Trump is a crucial watershed moment for America, politically, constitutionally, and morally.
On Thursday, May 30th, a jury of 12 New Yorkers erased the last distinctive line between Biden’s America and Putin’s Russia. With their verdict against Donald Trump, finding him guilty on 34 counts of forging business records, they verified that the Democrat party—the party of the sitting president—can organize a trial with its party operatives as judge and prosecutor, and get their political opponent found guilty.
The judge in the case, Juan Merchan, is an entrenched Democrat who has been selected to prosecute more Republicans than just Donald Trump. In the America that we all knew before Biden came into office, judges were selected randomly; from now on, ‘random’ means a Democrat when the defendant is a Republican.
An anti-Muslim campaigner has posted a picture from his hospital bed after he was stabbed by a knifeman at an anti-Islam rally in Germany.
The attacker went on a rampage and stabbed well-known Islam critic Michael Stuerzenberger, a police officer and several bystanders in Mannheim city centre, which was live streamed on YouTube yesterday morning.
The man was shot by officers at the scene and has been named by local outlet Der Spiegel as Sulaiman A, 25, who was born in Herat, Afghanistan, and lived in the Hesse state. He has undergone surgery and remains in hospital.
The Polish trade union famous for helping to bring down Warsaw’s Communist regime has now turned its fire against the EU’s green agenda.
Solidarność (Solidarity) was founded in 1980 by trade unionists and workers at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland. At its peak in 1981, one-third of working-age Poles were members – a total of roughly 10million people. What began as a campaign for workers’ rights soon transformed into a broad, anti-authoritarian social movement. Solidarity’s acts of civil resistance, supported financially by the Vatican and the United States, are widely recognised as having played a significant role in the collapse of Poland’s Communist government in 1989.
Four-year-old X Æ A-12 Musk has a new playmate, and it’s Barron Trump, son of the former President, the Wall Street Journal reports. The touching detail embroiders speculation (it’s an “exclusive”) that Elon Musk is being considered for a presidential advisory role, should Trump regain the White House. The Journal reports that Trump and Musk are already close enough to talk “several times a month”, so the prospect is not so far-fetched.
It can be a bit difficult to keep tabs on the various inquiries and examinations into foreign interference in Canadian elections, particularly by China.
Ottawa’s latest growth industry was largely created by a series of leaks of highly classified intelligence that first appeared in The Globe and Mail, and then Global News, that described attempts by the Chinese government to meddle in the last two elections with the goal of returning the Liberals to power, if again with a minority government.
A climate campaigner stuck a poster over a painting by Claude Monet hanging in a Paris museum, in the latest of a string of acts of vandalism against famous works of art.
The activist, from the group Food Riposte, a movement calling for sustainable agriculture to tackle climate change, affixed a sticker on Monet’s “Poppy Field”, covering the artwork with an apocalyptic version of the same scene.
