Krazy Klimate Rant From Star

Canada is slouching toward the end of the world. Climate scientists have been clear: the only real hope of avoiding climate disaster lies in dramatically ramping up the transition to clean energy by building new wind and solar farms at breakneck speed. But this isn’t happening.

The opening of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion this month — widely celebrated in the media — reminds us that Canada is still very much in the grip of Big Oil.

That $34 billion expansion was financed by Ottawa and it amounts to a massive public subsidy for the oil industry — at a time when we should urgently be financing renewable energy, not fossil fuels.

The renowned U.S. climatologist James Hansen famously said the oilsands were such a “dirty, carbon-intensive” oil that if they were to be fully exploited, it would be “game over” for the planet.

Wind and solar will power our electric flying cars!

Florida dentist and imam sparks horror with sermon calling Jews ‘brothers of apes,’ begging Allah to ‘annihilate’ them

A Florida dentist is facing urgent calls to have his license suspended after going viral with a vile sermon calling Israel’s military “worse than the Nazis” — and begging Allah to “annihilate” the Jews.

Dr. Fadi Kablawi, who is also a Miami imam, sparked horror with the sermon in which he called on Allah to “annihilate the brothers of apes and pigs,” according to a translation by MEMRI TV, the media arm of the Middle East Media Research Institute.

After six months, Dutch parties reach government deal

Almost six months after Dutch anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders won the Dutch election, he and three other party leaders have agreed a provisional agreement to form a right-wing government.

A final decision has not been made on the next Dutch prime minister, but it will not be Mr Wilders, who gave up the chance in a bid to secure a deal.

“We have a negotiators’ agreement and we will now put it to our [parliamentary] factions,” the Freedom Party leader told journalists.

Carson Jerema: Ignore left-wing ‘experts,’ there is no right to camp on university property

Protesters, particularly if they are students, have every right to demonstrate or otherwise express themselves on university campuses, even when the cause is idiotic or hateful, such as from the pro-Hamas left. But it is ludicrous to suggest that means students have an unlimited right to protest on any part of the campus they want, and in any form they choose. There is no right to camp on the quad, at least until — God help us — our activist Supreme Court says otherwise.

Naples pizzeria whose founder served Bill Clinton ‘a mafia front’

One of the most famous pizza restaurants in Naples has been seized by police amid claims that it was run by a mafia clan, damaging the city’s attempts to shake its reputation for gangsters.

Muslim, Jewish voters leaning away from the federal Liberals as Gaza war grinds on: poll

A new poll suggests Muslim and Jewish voters are leaning away from the federal Liberals in voting intentions — a possible sign that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts to straddle gaps in public opinion over the Israel-Hamas war are falling short.

The new poll of voting intentions by the Angus Reid Institute says the federal NDP is leading the Liberals among Muslim voters 41 per cent to 31 per cent, while the federal Conservatives are beating the Liberals among Jewish voters 42 per cent to 33 per cent.

“This does feel to the Liberals, in terms of their outreach around diaspora politics, to now be a fairly untenable situation,” Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute, told CBC News.

Matthew Lau: Activists look to turn daycares into woke indoctrination camps

Here is a tale of two recent childcare webinars. One was organized by entrepreneurs who see their daycare centres and the families they serve being bulldozed by the Trudeau government’s national takeover of their sector; the other was held by government-funded activists and aspiring central planners who see the governmentalization of childcare as an opportunity to inject it with their notions of social justice.

European Car Makers Hitting the Brakes on Electric Vehicles

Car manufacturers are slowing their transition to producing electric vehicles (EVs), because of low customer demand and production problems.

Mercedes-Benz announced to investors in March of this year that it is going back on its pledge to sell only fully electric cars by 2030. Instead, investors were told that the company plans to continue to make gasoline-powered cars well into the next decade. Fully electric cars and hybrids will account for only up to half of its sales by 2030.

WHO Pandemic Agreement Faces Scant Opposition in Canada, as UK Rejects Current Text

With a vote on the World Health Organization’s pandemic agreement and international health regulations expected to take place later this month, the UK government has pulled support and Republicans in the United States are pressing the White House to do the same.

In Canada, however, it’s going forward with limited opposition.

Ottawa has “actively participated in the development of the Pandemic Agreement, recognizing the necessity of a robust global health security architecture,” Health Canada spokesperson Anna Maddison told The Epoch Times.

Democrats Can’t Force Employees To Use Transgender Pronouns, 18-State Lawsuit Says

New federal regulations that would effectively force employers and employees to use transgender pronouns are illegal, says a lawsuit filed by 18 states against the Democrat-run executive agency.

Filed on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, the lawsuit brought by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and 17 other attorneys general contends that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) unilateral move to extend the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s Title VII protections to include so-called “gender identity” represents an unlawful attempt to “enshrine sweeping gender-identity mandates without congressional consent.”

How the Decolonization Movement Came to Canada

That the revolutionary Marxist concept of “decolonization” should apply to Canada, itself a former colony that gained independence with scarcely a drop of blood shed, had no legacy of slavery, and then developed as an independent nation without significant internal violence, might seem like quite a reach. But the idea gained a toehold here 50 years ago and, after remaining quiescent for decades, has metastasized into what we see today: a conviction that Canada’s political and social structures are inherently oppressive and racist and must be torn down.

In this second part of my three-part editorial series (Part 1 can be read here), I’ll explore how this happened.
