Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says Ottawa has to take action against Saskatchewan for breaking the federal carbon-pricing law.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said last week his province would not submit the money it owed for the carbon price on natural gas as required on Feb. 29.
Nova Scotia has introduced a policy altering the way black people are prosecuted in the province’s judicial system to address “systemic anti-black” racism.
The policy urges crown attorneys to apply different bail conditions, consider secure custody as “a sentence of last resort,” and lays out how the defence may dismiss jurors as unsuitable due to prejudice.
Defence attorney and legal commentator Ari Goldkind told The Epoch Times that Nova Scotia’s newly implemented policy goes beyond other “anti-racism” justice policies in Canada and could mean some crimes “will go essentially unpunished or under-punished.”
This past December, U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) personnel encountered 301,983 aliens who had crossed America’s unprotected southern border unlawfully. That astonishing, unprecedented figure pushed the total number of illegals who had entered U.S. territory during 2023 to roughly 2.54 million. If we include also the estimated 840,000 so-called “got-aways” known to have slipped into the American interior, the total jumps to about 3.4 million. That is more than the populations of all the cities in America except New York and Los Angeles, and more than the populations of 22 separate U.S. states – all in just a single year.
Christianity stands athwart neo-Marxists’ over-arching goal of creating an all-powerful government, free from any competing moral or ethical authority. Because America was founded on Biblical principles, neo-Marxists have to drive Christianity from the public square and uncouple America’s founding from its Judeo-Christian roots. The left’s latest effort has been to attack “Christian Nationalism.”
The former head of U.S. Border Patrol under President Joe Biden told CBS he never spoke to the president or the administration’s “border czar,” Vice President Kamala Harris, about the crisis at the southern border.
“I’ve never had one conversation with the president or the vice president,” said Raul Ortiz in a sit-down interview with CBS’s flagship program, “60 Minutes.” “I was the chief of the Border Patrol, I commanded 21,000 people. That’s a problem.”
The law struggles to respond to consensual violence
If one man asks another if he can cut off his penis, and that other man agrees, whose place is it to say they can’t go through with it? The UK courts faced just this question in the case of Damien Byrnes, found guilty last month of using a kitchen knife to remove the genitals of Marius Gustavson, who consented to the procedure, and paid Byrnes over £1,500 to do it. Byrnes, a male escort, said his motives were financial (he has been sentenced to 5 years in prison). This is not an isolated incident.
The Biden administration is reviewing California’s plan to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. To get federal approval, California claims it “needs” this ban to prevent harm to public health from particulate matter—airborne particles like dust, dirt and soot. But banning gasoline cars would do little to reduce particulate emissions, and it could even increase them.
That’s because new gasoline cars are very clean. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, cars emit only about 1% of all direct fine particulate matter in California, and most of those emissions come from older models. The newer gasoline cars that California wants to ban will often have particulate filters that reduce emissions to below one 1/1,000th of a gram per mile driven.
A ‘phobia’ is an irrational fear, as in claustrophobia, agoraphobia or arachnophobia, all conditions deserving of sympathy. But fear can be rational, too. An infantryman in a First World War trench would have every reason to fear going over the top. To accuse him of a ‘phobia’ would be uncharitable, to say the least. An Australian suspected of arachnophobia might point out that spiders with a dangerous bite are not rare. In Britain, there’s much less to fear from spiders, so my fear of them could fairly be called arachnophobia. Is there a group of people who, like Australians in the case of spiders, have good reason to fear certain aspects of Islam? If such a group exists, I suggest it would be found among Muslims themselves.
Pro-Beijing groups financially backed by two China-linked billionaires are pushing the radical transgender movement as a means of advancing a Marxist agenda in the United States, seven-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.
In Blood Money, Schweizer, who is a Breitbart News senior contributor and the president of the Government Accountability Institute, reveals China’s multi-pronged, covert attack on America. In Chapter 6, called “Destabilizing Democracy,” Schweizer explores how two billionaires, China-based American Neville Roy Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai, prop up radical activists groups that use transgenderism as a weapon against the “capitalist order.”
The plot of Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged can be briefly summed up as follows: the productive leaders and innovators of the country go on strike by disappearing from society to protest the cronyism, corruption, and oppressive taxes that have made living a virtuous life unbearable.
The nation is then on the brink of an economic collapse as the remaining politicians, intellectuals, and mediocre businessmen are only able to take from others and have no capability to create or add value. Atlas Shrugged is very popular with those whose views lean toward libertarianism, while those who lean to the left react to it like a vampire does to a crucifix, despite never even reading a page.

The woke movement is not a civil rights movement fighting for equality, it’s a political/cult movement fighting for supremacy. Once this fact is understood every other agenda being pursued by the political left today becomes crystal clear.
When a movement claims to be “fighting for equality” the insinuation is that the people involved do not have equal rights under the law. Yet, whenever these activists are asked to give examples of rights they want that others have, they stutter and stumble. The great trick used by the political left is that by simply saying they are fighting for equality, this is a way to automatically justify every one of their actions no matter how antagonistic and insidious. By simply saying they are fighting for equality, they paint themselves as the “good guys” even when they are the bad guys.
Ottawa’s planned increase of the federal carbon tax on April Fool’s Day is no laughing matter for more than two-thirds of Canadians.
A newly released survey from Leger found that 69 percent of poll respondents don’t support the Liberals’ plan to increase carbon pricing next month. The April 1 hike will raise carbon taxes to 17 cents per litre for gasoline, 21 cents per litre for diesel, and 15 cents per cubic metre for natural gas.
I realized something interesting over the weekend as I watched International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen try in vain, like a bewildered tourist, to find a way to enter the Art Gallery of Ontario. Hussen, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the great-and-good of Italian-Canadian society were to fete visiting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the AGO, but a few dozen pro-Palestinian supporters managed to block the entrances enough to scupper the whole event.
I wasn’t embarrassed for Canada this sort of cock-up is par for the course with Trudeau. The shit sticks to him.
A question we need addressed is this: what happens when a transgender Muslim woman needs to fix her hijab?

Liberal and NDP MPs joined forces Monday to block a parliamentary investigation into the massive security breach at Canada’s high security infectious disease laboratory in Winnipeg.
Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong had moved a motion to investigate how Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were able to pass confidential information to China even after security concerns were raised about the couples activities.
