Ottawa is putting all our eggs in an EV battery basket

Ever since the federal government signalled an open bar for subsidies for the electric vehicle industry, the list of companies wanting to set up shop in this country in exchange for taxpayer cash just keeps growing. We learned recently that both Honda and Toyota have added their names to it. If the past is any guide, there’s a good chance Ottawa will give each of them a wad of Canadian taxpayers’ money.

Liberals announce national summit to tackle surge in auto-thefts

MONTREAL — The federal government will convene a national summit to tackle auto theft in Canada, after a surge in stolen vehicles in Toronto and much of the country sparked concerns the problem is funding organized crime abroad.

Arriving at a downtown Montreal hotel for two days of meetings with the federal Liberal cabinet, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said on Sunday evening that he wants national, provincial and municipal governments and police forces to attend the summit, which is set for Feb. 8 in Ottawa.


Once they find out that Canada’s car theft rings are primarily racialized “minorities” the Liberals will Deep Six the inquiry.

‘No government could afford it’: Why a newly proposed guaranteed basic income is likely doomed

OTTAWA – The controversial idea of a guaranteed basic income, which could cost tens of billions each year, might be making its way to the House of Commons this spring.

But the chances of a guaranteed income becoming actual policy are “very close to zero,” said Kevin Milligan, an economics professor at the University of British Columbia who specializes in government social spending.

Hamas Leader: We Reject a Two State Solution. We Demand It All.

Consider this the one point of agreement between Israel and the terror network that has conducted war against it for nearly 20 years. Although perhaps there could be another point of agreement now as well — that October 7 changed everything. For Israel, it finally woke them from their fantasy that Hamas would turn into a governing entity rather than a genocidal terrorist network.

Jamie Sarkonak: ‘Trans-affirming toolkit’ tells teachers to put ideology above biology

Wall of Transgender Heroines

Schools are a provincial matter, but that doesn’t mean the federal government won’t stick its fingers in where it can to drive a social agenda in the classroom. The latest instance? A new, federally-funded, “Trans-Affirming Toolkit” for teachers loaded with poor scholarship and ideological preaching.

Already beset with lengthy court delays, the trial of accused convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber will now extend into March — and likely beyond — before reaching its much-anticipated conclusion.

Lawyers for Lich and Barber met earlier in January with Crown prosecutors Tim Radcliffe and Siobhain Wetscher, along with the trial’s presiding judge, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey, to schedule dates in March for the trial to continue.

In Ukraine’s river war, drones mean nowhere is safe

There are few places from where you can see Russian-occupied territory with the naked eye in Ukraine.

The western bank of the Dnipro river in the city of Kherson is one of them.

You can’t see the Russian troops on the other low, marshy riverbank, but you know they’re there.

Incoming artillery fire as we arrive at an abandoned building serves as a sharp reminder.

These fast food jobs are going to robots

Flippy is making burgers, Chippy is cooking french fries, and Remy is serving up salads. Customers may not even notice them, but robots are becoming more common behind the counter at fast food kitchens.

At Food Republic, a quick-service joint in Vancouver, Remy looks like a giant stainless steel box. Inside, it receives the order to portion out each salad ingredient. Cucumbers tumble down a tube into a takeout bowl, which then moves along a conveyor belt to collect the next topping.

So why are we importing bodies by the millions? To lower labour costs providing more funds for Big Business to implement AI solutions?

Anthony Furey: Our Leaders Should Take a Lesson From US Bipartisan Push to Tackle the Drug Crisis

Tim Hortons is one of Canada’s most iconic brands. It’s a place to grab a double-double, a Boston cream donut, and catch up with friends. It’s also increasingly a place to do hard drugs—at least when it comes a Tim Hortons location in the city of Oshawa, just west of Toronto, that has had to close its indoor dining because too many drug users were injecting and being violent throughout the restaurant.

“It’s the darkest part of our country happening on the site of one of the businesses that is the pride of Canada,” wrote Joe Warmington in the Toronto Sun. “The fact that a Tim Hortons has decided it’s better to not let people dine in says all we need to know about the mess we are in.”

In-N-Out Burger’s only location in Oakland is closing after the cherished fast-food joint decided it could no longer risk the safety of fed-up workers and patrons in the city plagued by recent crime.
