Tony Bobulinski Testifies Hunter Biden Perjured Himself Before Congress

Hunter Biden perjured himself during his February closed-door interview with the House impeachment inquiry, former Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski testified Wednesday.

Bobulinski previously alleged that President Joe Biden is the “big guy” marked in a text message to receive a ten percent stake in a joint venture with CEFC China Energy Co., a company with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Trudeau’s electric vehicle mandate could cause Canada’s power grid to collapse, analysis shows

A noted fiscally conservative think tank warned that a proposed federal mandate from the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ban the sale of new gasoline/diesel-only powered cars after 2035 and allow electric-only sales is an unrealistic fantasy that would cause massive chaos by threatening to collapse the nation’s power grids.

“Requiring all new vehicle sales in Canada to be electric in just 11 years means the provinces need to substantially increase their power generation capabilities, and adding the equivalent of 10 new mega-dams or 13 new gas plants in such a short timeline isn’t realistic or feasible,” said G. Cornelis van Kooten, a Fraser Institute senior fellow and author of “Failure to Charge: A Critical Look at Canada’s EV Policy.”

Polish foreign minister calls presence of Western troops in Ukraine an open secret

BERLIN, March 20. /TASS/. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called the presence of troops from some Western countries on Ukrainian territory an open secret.

“As your chancellor [Olaf Scholz] said, there are already some units from major countries in Ukraine,” he said in an interview with the German agency DPA. “In Poland, we have something we call ‘Tajemnica Poliszynela’ (an open secret), which describes a secret that everyone knows about,” Sikorski added.

On February 26, Scholz explained the reason for refusing to supply Taurus missiles to Kiev, stating that “what is done for missile flight control and target tracking by the British and French cannot be done in Germany.” Many politicians interpreted his words to mean that Western military specialists are already present in Ukraine.

John Ivison: CUPE’s attempts at self-defence show how ingrained the union’s antisemitism really is

Fred Hahn Creepy as Fuck

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has filed its defence against accusations from some Jewish members that the union’s response to Hamas’s attack on Israel discriminated against them.

The union denies the allegations in the case before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, but its denials are undermined by its own statement of defence, which indicates just how ingrained antisemitism has become in Canada’s largest trade union.

Hate crimes spike in France

Hate crimes are on the rise in France, new data shows, as the country grapples with increased racial tension tied to the conflict in the Middle East and the unprecedented popularity of the far right heading into this summer’s EU election.

The French interior ministry reported that crimes “of a racist nature” jumped 32 percent from 2022 to 2023. Such crimes doubled in the last quarter of 2023, after the Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas and the war Israel launched against the militant group in retaliation. The number of antisemitic acts quadrupled, the ministry found.

‘Absolutely fierce’: Rural revolt against solar and wind across North America, says energy analyst

The revolt isn’t popular. It’s ignored by establishment environmental groups. It’s harshly criticized by pro-renewable energy business and political leaders.

Nonetheless, the battle is on, a contest that now includes rural Albertans rising up against solar and wind developments.

“The battle in rural America and rural Canada is absolutely fierce,” American journalist and documentary filmmaker Robert Bryce told me in an interview. “These big wind and big solar companies are doing all they can to absolutely roll over small communities.”

Problem child Ben & Jerry’s getting boot from parent after years of political controversy

Multinational conglomerate Unilever, the owner of some 400 brands, announced Tuesday it is spinning off its ice cream business — including major names like Ben & Jerry’s, Breyers, Magnum, Popsicle and Klondike — after more than a century.

The consumer goods giant said the move is part of a growth strategy to create a leaner business. At the same time, by shedding Ben & Jerry’s, Unilever is ridding itself of a longtime headache.

Guilbeault defends carbon pricing as more provincial Liberals voice concern

As concerns about a scheduled increase to the federal carbon price grow, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says provinces are welcome to come up with their own policies, as long as the federal minimum pollution price is used.

His comments come as the Ontario Liberals are the latest provincial party to call for a change to the federal carbon price — with leader Bonnie Crombie saying a government she leads would not have a provincial carbon price similar to the federal model.

Police Scotland hate crime training leaked

Police Scotland’s officers will investigate actors and comedians if a complaint is made under new hate crime laws.

Training, obtained by The Herald, states that material regarded as “threatening and abusive” under the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) can be communicated “through public performance of a play.”

The Scottish Tories said this appeared to be at odds with the legislation and called for the force to explain.

This is Madness.

14 of the 15 worst cities for air pollution in U.S. and Canada were north of the border last year: report

Thanks to wildfires, air quality in Canada is now worse than in the U.S., according to a new report.

Published Tuesday, the 6th Annual World Air Quality Report  found that air quality in Canada in 2023 was worse than in the U.S. for the first time in the report’s history.

Of the 15 most polluted cities in the two countries, 14 were in Canada, led by Fort McMurray and Peace River in Alberta. Others included Yellowknife, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Canmore, Alta.

Clearly we need more carbon tax.

Church of England denies ‘racial justice’ campaign will alienate faithful

Some have complained that in pushing for more diversity the church is getting unnecessarily involved in US-style culture wars

Helter Skelter at Church of England

Church leaders have defended the appointment of “racial justice enablers” tasked with addressing “white fragility” after being accused of potentially alienating ordinary worshippers with the plans.

A number of Church of England dioceses have appointed individuals or teams to address racial inequality in their regions. In Birmingham, an anti-racism practice officer has been tasked with “deconstructing whiteness” in the West Midlands.

One in five Muslim prisoners is white, amid fears that Islamist gangs are driving conversions

One in five Muslim prisoners is white, official figures show, amid fears that Islamist gangs are driving conversions.

Ministry of Justice (MoJ) data has revealed there were 15,594 Muslim prisoners in jails in England and Wales in September 2023, accounting for 18 per cent of all inmates despite comprising only 6.5 per cent of the population.

Of these, 3,096 or 19.9 per cent were white, according to the MoJ figures. This is nearly three times the rate in the general Muslim population, where 7.8 per cent are recorded as white.

‘Wish I had better news’: NDP MP behind Israel-Gaza motion disappointed by outcome on Palestinian statehood

OTTAWA—Late Monday night, after the New Democrats agreed to overhaul a controversial motion that could have seen Ottawa recognize Palestine as a state, two NDP MPs walked up to the House of Commons’ public gallery where a group of Palestinian Canadians had gathered.

The party’s foreign affairs critic, Heather McPherson, and her colleague, Matthew Green, briefly sat and spoke with the young activists, many of whom wore black and white kaffiyehs: scarves traditionally donned in parts of the Middle East that have become emblematic of the Palestinian cause.

“I’m not going to lie. I wish that I could have delivered to them statehood for Palestinian people,” said McPherson, who championed the NDP motion, in an interview with the Star.
