Trudeau to lie before foreign interference inquiry

Justin is so full of shit he’s about to explode.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be one of 40 witnesses to testify before the commission probing allegations of foreign electoral interference over the next few weeks, as Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue and her team sort through what the government knew, or didn’t, about claims that China meddled in the past two federal campaigns.

The Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions (PIFI) resumes next Wednesday and will run until April 10. The inquiry was triggered by media reports last year which, citing unnamed security sources and classified documents, accused China of interfering in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Scrap Biden’s Electric-Vehicle Rules

It is no business of the state to steer drivers from one automotive technology to another. But if the U.S. government should decide to do this, it should do so through Congress, not a regulatory agency. Where climate policy is involved, though, individual autonomy and popular consent have a way of being overridden. In April 2023, the EPA proposed a set of rules designed to ensure that, depending on which “compliance pathway” — a phrase redolent of a bureaucracy run amok — auto manufacturers took, electric vehicles (EVs) would account for as much as 67 percent of new light vehicle sales by 2032.

The Civilizational Masochism of the West

We are swiftly approaching the consequences of our suicidal blindness.

Last week, Joe Biden issued a schoolmarmish warning to Israel, which he has been browbeating for months to placate his party’s anti-Israel left and Muslim American voters in Michigan, a critical swing state. Speaking to the press, he threatened, “There’s got to be a ceasefire because Ramadan – if we get into circumstances where this continues to Ramadan, Israel and Jerusalem could be very, very dangerous.”

It’s time to stop accommodating the crazies in America

It should be apparent to all that normal, productive people no longer sit at America’s heart. Instead, our government bows to, and we taxpayers support, all of the fringes, whether economic or social. This is an unsustainable burden for any society, even one like America, which used to be robust enough to handle a deadbeat fringe. (That’s in addition to the “widows and orphans” that all moral societies assist.)

Scotland’s Hate Crime Act is an authoritarian monstrosity

‘Then, before you know it, you’ve committed a hate crime.’ These are the words of the ‘hate monster’, a fuzzy, orange cartoon character designed by Police Scotland. A video featuring said monster was released earlier this month, as part of an awareness-raising campaign for the new Hate Crime Act that’s coming into force in Scotland on 1 April.

Germany: Globalist Press Portrays 16 year old Loretta as an Extremist

Former Stasi memorial chief says the case is reminiscent of “East Germany when pacifist patches or a plastic bag from the West led to interrogation.”

In service of Germany’s increasingly anti-pluralistic state apparatus, the country’s mainstream press is striving to justify the state’s political intimidation of Loretta, a 16-year-old student who recently was removed from class and questioned by police for expressing support for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and posting right-wing content online.

This week, in the wake of widespread indignation sparked by an interview with Loretta and her mother where the two discussed the incident at the 16-year-old’s high school in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Die Welt published an article with the police description of screenshots from social media that instigated the police operation.

CIA blocked feds from interviewing Hunter Biden’s ‘sugar brother’ Kevin Morris during five-year tax probe

The CIA blocked federal investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris during a five-year probe into the first son’s alleged tax crimes, a whistleblower has told House impeachment leaders.

House Oversight and Judiciary Committee chairmen say the whistleblower informed them the intelligence agency stopped IRS and Justice Department investigators from interviewing Morris in August 2021, a Hollywood lawyer and patron of the first son, according to a Thursday letter addressed to CIA Director William Burns.

Biden’s New Electric Vehicle Policy Will Drive US Auto Workers Out of Job

Progressive climate regulations could cost Biden votes in Rust Belt states come November.

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm’s four-day publicity tour for electric vehicles was always intended to draw attention — and it did, just not the kind she’d hoped for. Granholm and her caravan acted as ambassadors for President Joe Biden’s support for green energy and clean cars. But it’s hard to spend four days on the road without showcasing the downsides of electric vehicles.

Outside of Augusta, Georgia, Granholm and her team bumped up against a common limitation: too few EV chargers. Ahead of her arrival, Granholm’s advance team realized that they would have to wait in line. One charger was broken, leaving only three that worked.

New Liberal legislation would ensure dozens of MPs secure pensions before next election

A tweak to the Elections Act the Liberals introduced this week could allow for about 80 MPs to qualify for a House of Commons pension.

Minister Dominic LeBlanc unveiled a suite of changes to the Elections Act on Wednesday, including expanded days for advance voting and an easier process for mail-in ballots, but it would also move the current proposed fixed election day from Oct. 20 to Oct. 27, 2025.

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal of private school that wouldn’t let Muslim students pray

The country’s top court has declined to hear the appeal of a private Calgary school that was found to have discriminated against two Muslim students who were denied prayer space on campus.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling Thursday ends a 12-year legal battle to overturn an Alberta Human Rights Commission (HRC) decision that resulted in a $26,000 fine against Webber Academy.

As is the SCC’s practice, no reasons were given for the court’s refusal to hear the appeal.
