Joe Rogan suggests Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a set-up to bring down Donald Trump

Joe Rogan suggested that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a set-up by the US government’s intelligence agencies to take down former President Donald Trump.

Shorter CBC: Hey Poor People Hurry Up & Pay For Our EV Chargers

When it comes to EV chargers, Canada is way behind the U.S., analysis shows

Canada’s most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country’s infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.

Quebec and B.C. fare the worst among Canada’s large provinces in terms of the number of publicly accessible fast charging stations compared to the number of electric vehicles on the road, according to CBC’s analysis of data from Transport Canada, Statistics Canada and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Tax payer dollars should not be paying for the toys of the Rich.

Warner Bros apologises for replying to Barbenheimer memes

Warner Bros has apologised for replying to tweets about Barbie and Oppenheimer that used the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as the background for jokes.

The hashtag #NoBarbenheimer began trending in Japan over the weekend, with hundreds of posts taking memes to task for making light of the atomic bombings and criticising an official Barbie film Twitter account for engaging with them.

Japan has never come clean as the Germans have with their record of atrocity in WW II.

Michael Taube: Canadian Governments Need to Do More to Properly Crack Down on Money Laundering

Canada has witnessed a rise in the criminal activity of money laundering. So much so, the word “haven” has been used by Canadian and international publications to describe how some criminals view our country. The federal government and provincial governments, including the recent example of Quebec, have attempted to curtail this long-standing problem. Whether these solutions will make a dent remains a huge question mark.

Trudeau projects own miserable failings on Poilievre

Trudeau pans Poilievre’s approach as ‘dangerous for Canadians’

Less than a week after naming his new cabinet vowing a renewed focus on the concerns of Canadians, the one name Prime Minister Justin Trudeau couldn’t keep out of his mouth on Monday was Pierre Poilievre.

At an event announcing multimillion-dollar joint federal-municipal investment towards building more homes in Hamilton, Ont., Trudeau brought the Conservative leader up multiple times, from panning his housing, health and homelessness policy proposals, to distilling his leadership style down to “cuts and be angry,” while vowing the Liberals intend to take a different tact.

Harry and Meghan have violated the Hollywood A-lister code – and there’s no turning back

Since they dropped their cluster bomb of revelations, scarcely a month has gone by without talk of another cold-shouldering.

If there’s one thing every agent and PR tells their famous clients, it’s never to read the comments “below the line” in any online article. Generally, this is sound advice, but in rare cases – such as Meghan and Harry’s, where good advice has repeatedly been ignored and delusion reigns – I wonder whether it may actually be helpful. A reality check. The therapeutic equivalent of an ice bath.

Canada has trained Niger’s soldiers for 10 years and all we got was a Military Coup d’État for our millions

Russian flags waved in celebration of Niger coup success

Niger coup casts doubt on Canada’s African strategy of spending millions on military training, development

For a decade, Canada has pursued a quiet campaign to stabilize the fragile West African country of Niger, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on development and security projects to defend an impoverished democracy surrounded by autocratic regimes and Islamist militias.

Today, those expensive efforts are in jeopardy. A coup in Niger has deposed the Western-backed president, Mohamed Bazoum. This has left the country in the hands of military leaders who seem to have abandoned the democratic gospel the Canadians were preaching.

Another Trudeau Triumph. Seems to me that a lot of white people are very protective of their “very important jobs” which involve traipsing about Africa raining cash on the locals to no evident benefit.

ANALYSIS: As Canada Becomes More Restrictive, Resistance Is Growing, Experts Say

Restrictions on freedoms in Canada, such as freedom of speech and assembly, have been steadily increasing for years now, says Philip Carl Salzman, professor emeritus of anthropology at McGill University.

“They’ve turned up the heat under the water, and it’s gotten warmer and warmer,” he told The Epoch Times. A lot of Canadians have gotten used to the heat and aren’t reacting strongly, Mr. Salzman said, but we’re starting to see signs of an uptick in resistance.

San Francisco family-owned hardware store has lost a staggering $700,000 in a single year to ‘organized shoplifting’

A San Francisco family-owned hardware store has lost a staggering $700,000 in a single year to ‘organized shoplifting’ as the city continues to battle rampant crime.

Dale Hardware’s owner Kyle Smith described the helpless situation in Fremont – and said his grandfather, who founded the shop in 1955, would ‘roll in his grave’ if he knew about the unbridled shoplifting.

The uncontrolled looting in San Francisco has occurred for a number of reasons – including the accelerating organized retail theft and increased homelessness.

Jamie Sarkonak: Cabinet shuffle the closest Liberals come to accountability

Members in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet don’t offer resignations for their failures. They simply wait for the next cabinet shuffle. The awkward question of accountability never needs to be asked. Disastrous headlines are averted.

With the total number of ministers remaining constant at 39 following last week’s cabinet shuffle, only seven have stayed in the same position they were in previously. That’s a ministerial turnover rate of 82 per cent. And judging by the performance of the previous cabinet, there’s good reasons why many of them have been shuffled out.

California Officials Close Down Bootleg Chinese Lab Brimming with Infectious Agents Such as Covid, HIV

In addition to the pathogens, investigators found hundreds of chemicals, a thousand mice — many of them dead — and bootleg Covid and pregnancy tests. apparently developed on site.

Health authorities in California are scrambling to reassure the public in the San Joaquin Valley after an illegal, Chinese-owned biotech lab storing dangerous pathogens such as Covid, HIV, herpes, and malaria in haphazard and unsafe conditions was raided and shut down.

Officials in Reedley, California, about 200 miles north of Los Angeles in the state’s central valley, discovered the facility in April after an inspector noticed a suspicious garden hose protruding from the wall of the nondescript warehouse. Only recently, however, did testing from the Centers for Disease Control confirm the hazardous nature of the material found.
