Canadians want to do what they can to reduce global emissions.
At least, they do until it comes time to pay the bill. Then the tune quickly changes.

International students living in tent allegedly a publicity stunt
Canadore College President George Burton answered 20 minutes worth of questions Thursday morning from local media in hopes of what he says will set the record straight.
Swedish Prosecutor Seeks Hate Conviction for Quran Burning
A Swedish man faces trial this week on charges of incitement to racial hatred for the burning of a copy of the Islamic Quran in what could become a precedent-setting case, as prosecutors have been reluctant to pursue charges against Quran-burning protesters in the past.
Don Martin: Poilievre picking wrong fights as Liberals struggle under low morale, support
In Justin Trudeau’s rapidly imploding world, everything sucks.
In a rare moment of reality-reflecting candour, the usually-scripted prime minister said as much to the New York Times last week.
“It really sucks right now. Like, everything sucks for people, even in Canada,” he told the editorial board. “People are mad . . . it’s a tough time . . . a sense of optimism is gone right now.”
There’s been a murder a week on farms in South Africa this year. Now a race-baiting Marxist who loves singing Kill the Boer is set to become Vice President
They came at breakfast time to murder Theo Bekker, smashing an iron bar stolen from his own farmyard into his skull before slitting his throat so he bled to death.
His four teenage attackers then tied up his wife, Marlinda, and put a plastic bag over her head before she slipped into unconsciousness. Mercifully, she survived.
In South Africa, where the murder rate is soaring, the killing of 79-year-old Mr Bekker on July 30 still had the capacity to horrify. This week at the Afrikaans Dutch Reformed church half a mile from the Bekkers’ cream-coloured farmhouse, Minister Johan Bouwer told the Mail: ‘The couple came here to Sunday services. Marlinda was a regular every week; Theo would attend if he was not busy on the farm.
Head of Canadian Ukrainian group defends man who fought for unit created by Nazis
The president of the Ukrainian National Federation of Canada is defending a Second World War veteran of a Nazi unit who was recently lauded as a hero in Canada’s Parliament.
Jurij Klufas has not met 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka but says the veteran is being treated unfairly. He says Hunka was fighting for Ukraine – not Germany – and that countries, including Canada, have cleared his division of war crimes.
‘We’ve Reversed the Trend’: Military Recruitment Outpacing Attrition, Says Defence Minister
The Canadian military is currently recruiting more new candidates than active soldiers are leaving the ranks, says Defence Minister Bill Blair.
“We’ve reversed the trend, and in fact, the number of people joining is now exceeding for the first time in nearly three years the attrition, the people that are leaving, and that is good news,” Mr. Blair told the House of Commons defence committee on Sept. 28.
I don’t believe a word Blair says.
Ex-Loudoun Superintendent Found Guilty of Retaliating against Teacher Who Spoke Out about Sex Assault
A jury on Friday found former Loudoun County superintendent Scott Ziegler guilty of retaliating against a teacher for cooperating with Virginia’s grand jury probe into the district’s alleged mishandling of sexual assault cases.
Will Hollywood strike back?
In the Fifties, television destroyed radio, many of whose stars were themselves survivors of the death of vaudeville, and persisted through radio and into film: The Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields. And many of the first movie stars had come first from the music halls, such as Chaplin; Will Rogers became a movie star after his pre-eminence in vaudeville.
Multicultural paralysis
Most people would never leave their homes and stroll into the Alaskan wilderness dreadfully unprepared like Christopher McCandless did in the 1996 best seller, “Into the Wild.” There are certainly many places on this blue planet where we just don’t venture through. There are other destinations we may visit or even pass through, but never after the sun sets like Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant, where one successful walk alone warrants a song about it like zany Long Islander, Billy Joel. But no matter how challenging or intimidating, it goes without fail that ambulance, fire and police services are always a call away.
This, however, is not the case in many enclaves throughout Europe. They call them “no-go zones,” which are places where the home country’s sovereign government has surrendered to Islam’s Sharia law.
Voters are the reason Chicago has food deserts
Chicagoans are seeing a variation on the saying, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” playing out in the city. Areas of the city are being labeled as “food deserts” because there are no grocery stores nearby, and residents only have themselves to blame.
According to ABC7 in Chicago, “In the past five years on the South Side, store closings have included a Whole Foods, two Targets and three Walmarts.” These are stores that would generally be considered too large to fail, but they are struggling with maintaining profitability.
Why finding alien life in Universe is now ‘only a matter of time’
Many astronomers are no longer asking whether there is life elsewhere in the Universe.
The question on their minds is instead: when will we find it?
Many are optimistic of detecting life signs on a faraway world within our lifetimes – possibly in the next few years.
And one scientist, leading a mission to Jupiter, goes as far as saying it would be “surprising” if there was no life on one of the planet’s icy moons.
Why diversity training backfires
A leading researcher has found that ‘DEI’ training actually encourages racial resentment.
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training simply doesn’t work. This is the startling verdict recently reached not by opponents of diversity training, but by Mahzarin Banaji, a world-renowned pioneer of research into so-called implicit bias. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Banaji argues that ‘the typical DEI training doesn’t educate people about bias and may even do harm’.
China’s Hackers Got a List of Every State Dept Email
Sadly, by the standards of past Chinese hacks, this isn’t even all that notable. The PRC was targeting Biden’s Indo-Pacific Summit, a placeholder pretense of countering China, but they also got targeting information for future attacks.
Robert Kennedy Jr to run for president as independent in 2024 – report
Robert F Kennedy Jr is reported to be ending his challenge to Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination and run instead as an independent candidate, in a move that could upset the 2024 race for the White House.
Kennedy, 69 and a scion of a famous political dynasty – a son of the former US attorney general and New York senator Robert F Kennedy, and a nephew of the former president John F Kennedy – will announce his run in Pennsylvania on 9 October, according to Mediaite.
“Bobby feels that the Democratic National Committee is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” the website quoted a “Kennedy campaign insider” as saying.
