A lack of access to cheap energy has made the continent less competitive
Last week Germany announced that, after the government statistics agency revised its recent GDP figures, it was clear that the country was in recession. In recent history it has tended to hold up well as the global economy softened relative to some of Europe’s weaker economies. But this time it seems that Germany is leading the pack into recession.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently released an advisory titled “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.” It warns that social isolation is a major public health problem. The 81-page document presents six government-directed “pillars” of action to address the health hazards of social isolation.
On the surface, these six directives may look innocuous, but they present a clear and present danger to the autonomy of our private lives and relationships. The project is potentially so massive in scope that it’s not an overstatement to say it threatens to regulate our freedom of association in ways we never could have imagined.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her United Conservative Party retained control of Canada’s top oil-producing province in an election Monday, setting up a series of energy-policy clashes with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Former Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) found an “active campaign of voter suppression” by China against him and his party in the 2021 election.
O’Toole made the comments Tuesday from the floor of the House of Commons, within which MPs are protected by parliamentary privilege from civil or criminal prosecution under freedom of speech provisions. His speech comes after a briefing with CSIS last week.
The scenes out of Philadelphia are horrific: People sitting in a zombie state, laying on the sidewalk, others looking up with eyes glazed over. A video of Kensington Ave., long a spot for the drug addled down and out, has shown what it looks like when the powerful sedative tranq comes to town.
The scary part is, this will soon be the reality on the streets of Toronto, especially if Olivia Chow is elected mayor.
Today I exposed that shelters all across Toronto — including family shelters with kids in them — are being pushed by the City to provide taxpayer-funded crack pipes and meth kits and become unofficial injection sites.
As Mayor of Toronto, I will immediately end this program. pic.twitter.com/goVoK9Tny0

Get out while you can.
This is probably the worst thing you'll ever read.

South Africa Beats Climate Goal as Blackouts Slash Emissions. It’s one of those headlines you read and assume the Babylon Bee is to blame. In this case, it came from a Bloomberg article, gushing about South Africa’s falling emissions putting it on track to meet its 2025 climate goals. They were even bold enough to note: ‘Power plant breakdowns are reducing industrial activity.’
Sure, collapsing into the Stone Age is probably going to lower your CO2 emissions – for a while – but pretty soon everyone is going to be chopping down the nearest forest like it’s 5000 BC.
The obvious question undiscussed in the woke world of Target.
… It is very safe to say that not everybody who shops at Target is gay or a member of the LGBQT community. It is probably safe to say that non-members of that community are the majority in America. And they are not “woke.”
So … where is this vaunted Target inclusiveness?
Alberta’s United Conservatives have scraped a majority government, narrowly defeating the rival New Democrats in what proved to be the province’s closest ever election.
The triumph for incumbent premier Danielle Smith foreshadows more friction between the western province and Canada’s federal government on environmental regulation, with Smith using her victory speech to attack the climate policies of the prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
Some lottery winners have described their situation as being at the right place at the right time to receive their fortuitous ticket to wealth.
Their windfall immediately changes their lives, making them responsible for managing an amount of money they’d never dreamt of having.
People believe money changes a person, but I believe it only accentuates what was already within: The money just makes it easier to exhibit it.
This month marks the 30th anniversary of President Bill Clinton signing the National Voter Registration Act into law. You probably know the law as “Motor Voter.” It is the federal requirement that requires state motor vehicle offices to offer voter registration and the ability to update your address.
Sounds convenient? Now, we have data showing one of the side effects of Motor Voter is to put non-citizens onto American voter rolls.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed is pushing back against reports of a retail “collapse” in the city’s downtown, saying that the departure of many high-end stores is the result of “changes to retail” in the economy in general.
The decision as to whether to hold a public inquiry on any topic, including the very important issue of foreign interference in Canada’s democracy, belongs to the prime minister. It cannot be transferred to an unelected, unaccountable appointee, regardless of that person’s credentials or experience. The ongoing noise about The Right Honourable David Johnston’s appointment to this position is an unfortunate distraction of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s making.
Tomorrow's NASA meeting on UAP isn't the UFO community's longed-for "Disclosure", but it's a welcome sign of how the agency is subjecting a once-taboo topic to serious scientific study. #NASA #UAP #UFO #ufotwitterhttps://t.co/xbmRyBF5iP
