American and British voters are being failed by the same big immigration lie

Some political issues stand on their own, hardly overlapping with other areas of government. Then there are those which affect almost everything else. Immigration is one such issue. Because immigration is not just a matter of people coming into the country. It affects the NHS, education, crime, housing, law, foreign policy and national identity. To name just a few.

That is why all developed countries are struggling with it. In America, millions of people are now flooding annually across the southern border. Donald Trump never did finish building his wall, and certainly never got Mexico to pay for it. But President Biden has both allowed an increase in the flow and pretended that he is trying to stop it. It is not dissimilar to what is happening in Britain. The Conservative Government has said that it is going to cut both legal and illegal migration at the same time as overseeing a historic surge in both. The public in both countries can see this and its consequences.

If there’s a tug-of-war over conservatism, only one side is really pulling

Last week, two former candidates for the leadership of the Conservative Party announced new bids for power and influence.

Rick Peterson, who finished 12th in the Conservative leadership race of 2017, announced that the Centre Ice Canadians, an organization he launched last year, is looking to establish a new “centrist” political party. And Maxime Bernier, who finished second in 2017, announced he would be running in a byelection in the Manitoba riding of Portage-Lisgar under the banner of his own People’s Party.

PBO defends unflattering analysis of green-regulation cost impacts against Liberal efforts to lie about their green-scam

Liar.

OTTAWA – Despite Liberal attacks, Canada’s budget watchdog is standing by his office’s analysis showing a rise in the cost of gasoline from Ottawa’s new fuel regulations, insisting that it is not his job to help promote government policies.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) released on Thursday a distributional analysis of the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), showing ho w the new Liberal policy will increase the price of gas and diesel when the program is fully implemented by 2030. The PBO estimated that at the national level, in 2030, the cost of the CFR to households would range from $231 for lower-income households to $1,008 for higher-income households.

Are politics just a big joke to Pierre Poilievre?

Does Pierre Poilievre even believe some of the things he’s saying these days? Does he expect the rest of us to believe them, or do they come pre-discounted with a sort of wink-wink don’t-take-this-seriously message already built in?

The question arises in the wake of the Conservative leader’s sorties this week into a couple of serious policy areas — bail reform and drug policy.

In Europe critics of Islam need police protection

They call them safe houses, but they are the graves of our failed exaggerated tolerance.

“Two men executed for offending the Koran”. This happened recently in Iran (in the meantime, no eyebrows were raised as Teheran was elected to lead a UN Human Rights Forum), but it could have been in France, Holland, Germany, Sweden or England, given that large parts of Europe are becoming, in the words of Boualem Sansal, “would-be Islamic republics” and the only topic on which an academic today needs armed protection begins with “i” and ends with “m”.

Viral, Out-Of-Context Clips Make Victims Like Pregnant Citi Bike Woman Into Villains Simply Because They’re White

What happens when a white, pregnant physician assistant who just left a 12-hour shift in a New York City hospital is accosted and has her Citi Bike hijacked by a group of troublemakers who are black? The woman is put on leave by her hospital.

That’s not a bad joke. It’s yet another real-life example that proves viral out-of-context videos, manufactured racial animosity, and Big Tech and corporate media’s willingness to amplify it pose a grave danger to society.

A Tampa man has demanded the city hands out $3million in reparations to each Black resident – just days after Squad members pushed for a federal payment of $14trillion.

The unidentified man said that black people ‘don’t care about nonsense like police violence and homelessness’ during a Tampa City Council meeting on Thursday.

The ugly downsides of Canada’s costly obsession with electric vehicles

Canada’s government is enchanted – obsessed even – with the idea of building batteries for electric vehicles on home soil. Already, Volkswagen is soaking up about $14-billion in public subsidies to build a battery factory in Southwestern Ontario, and Stellantis, owner of Jeep and Fiat, and LG Energy Solution are demanding equal treatment for their joint venture.

The mission to make Canada (well, Ontario) part of the global EV supply chain was inevitable and, from a purely industrial point of view, makes some sense, even though the per-employee job creation bill may emerge as the most expensive in Canadian history.

A good piece, you can’t come away without being convinced that EV’s are a ludicrous “green solution.”

Ghost guns aren’t end of world, but end of gun control

So-called ghost guns get a lot of press. I’ve pointed out more times than I care to count how the impact they have on crime is overstated significantly, but they’re still getting that press.

And, to be fair, if you believe you can keep guns out of some people’s hands via laws, homemade firearms represent a threat because they allow people to bypass the system put in place to keep guns away from certain parties.
