As U.S. Tries to Isolate China, German Companies Move Closer

Some are expanding in China, reluctant to leave a huge market they need to finance operations back home.

As Washington seeks to throttle economic ties with Beijing, two powerful engines of the German economy, Volkswagen and the chemical company BASF, are broadening their huge Chinese investments.

Volkswagen, which has more than 40 plants in China, announced a new effort to tailor models to Chinese customers’ wishes, with features like in-dash karaoke machines, and will invest billions in local partnerships and production sites. It’s part of a theme unveiled by the German automaker last year: “In China for China.”

The destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines may have kept reluctant ally Germany in line against Russia but provided them the reason needed to cause the break on China. Macron too is a Sinophile signaling a decline in US influence under President Window Licker Joe Biden.

Quebec lawyer filed ‘identical cut and paste’ bogus claims for 41 refugees

A Quebec lawyer filed “identical cut and paste” bogus claims for 41 refugees, showing “gross and egregious incompetence” and causing a miscarriage of justice, according to a Federal Court judge.

The case has sparked an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency, court heard, into the allegedly wide use by a law firm of copying a false refugee story into what is supposed to be a personal narrative of an asylum seeker’s history and troubles at home.

Give it a week Justin will make that guy Immigration Minister.

Meghan takes the hint: Harry to go it alone at King Charles’ Coronation

Prince Harry will attend the King’s Coronation service in London next month alone – with Meghan Markle remaining in California with their children Archie and Lilibet.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the dramatic news in a statement today, saying it was ‘pleased to confirm’ the Duke of Sussex will be at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

But the Duchess will stay home at the couple’s residence in Montecito with one-year-old Lilibet and Archie, whose fourth birthday is on the same day as the ceremony.

Federal Court Begins Hearing Challenge to Firearms Ban

The legal challenge to the Liberal government’s order to ban over a thousand models of firearms is being heard in federal court this week.

Multiple suits were filed after the federal government designated in May 2020 a set of then-legal firearms as prohibited. A buyback program estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars is yet to become operational.

Medical Reparations Have Arrived

Changes designed to increase black patients’ access to kidney transplants pervert good medicine and punish white patients to right nonexistent wrongs.

The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) are implementing new policies to make skin color a crucial factor in who receives life-saving kidney transplants. The shift is perhaps the most dangerous victory for wokeness in health care to date.

In the name of “equity,” UNOS and OPTN purport to be expanding black patients’ access to kidney transplants. They essentially claim that the longstanding system for such transplants is racist, pointing to how black patients make up 30 percent of the dialysis population and transplant wait list but receive a smaller fraction of kidney transplants.

Federal public servant union members vote for strike mandate

A union representing more than 120,000 federal public servants across Canada has voted in favour of a strike mandate, leaders said in a news conference Wednesday morning.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) did not say when a strike could happen nor how many members voted in favour of a strike, but president Chris Aylward said an “overwhelming majority” voted for a strike mandate.

About 35,000 PSAC workers at the Canada Revenue Agency, which are a different group, voted in favour of strike action Friday ahead of mediation talks set to take place later this month.

Public service unions are part of the political class and a huge reason the likes of Trudeau can be elected. The LPC will give them whatever they want. Buying votes with your money is what they do.

Western premiers blast Lametti for suggesting Ottawa might ‘look at’ provinces’ power over natural resources

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and three western premiers are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to disassociate his government from comments made by his justice minister — who promised last week to “look at” a decades-old law that gives control over natural resources to the four western provinces.

“The federal government cannot unilaterally change the Constitution,” the premiers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba said in a joint statement Tuesday. “It should not even be considering stripping resource rights away from the three Prairie provinces.

This government needs to be gone.

Too many lines converge at the intersection of Trudeau and foundation

Justin Trudeau insisted to reporters on Tuesday that he has “absolutely no intersection” with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, the non-profit organization that funds humanities research.

But the foundation has found that Mr. Trudeau’s politics keep intersecting with it. Over and over.

Trudeau is an habitual liar, dishonest to his core.

Riley Gaines calls out ‘faux feminist’ Megan Rapinoe and suggests she would ‘shiv a male’ for taking her spot on a team after former USWNT star objected to ban on trans athletes in women’s sports

Riley Gaines has suggested former USWNT player Megan Rapinoe ‘would genuinely shiv any male who tried to take her spot’ on the roster, before labeling her a ‘faux feminist’ after Rapinoe recently opposed the Protection of Girls and Women in Sports Act.

The bill first proposed by Republican congressman for Florida, Greg Steube, seeks to ensure genetic men compete against one another, and not against women – as has been the case with transgender woman Lia Thomas, among others.

CHARLEBOIS: Don’t let the pro-carbon tax mob silence criticism

It’s tax season. Well, for the environment now, it’s always tax season.

The carbon tax — which was raised to $65 as metric ton on April 1 — is impacting the economy in many ways. As the implementation of a higher carbon tax moves forward, a new baseline for costing is set for all sectors of our economy. By 2023, our carbon tax will be at $170 a metric ton, subsequently we need to be ready.

NATO getting increasingly impatient with cheapskate Canada … In show of good faith CAF commits to supplying Tampons in Male Washrooms at NATO HQ

After years of Canada’s allies politely suggesting that the Canadian Armed Forces should try being less of an underfunded disaster, there are signs that they’re getting increasingly impatient with the request.

At a meeting last week of NATO foreign ministers, the alliance’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg threw out a thinly veiled slam at Canada, saying they will be looking to “ensure that allies are investing enough in defence.”

Biden Bans 53% of Americans From Buying Cars

The new poor will be anyone who can’t afford an electric car.

The New York Times reported that the Biden administration will abuse EPA regulations to eliminate most real car sales by 2030. The plan is to force 67% of car sales to be electric by 2032. Most Americans won’t be able to afford them, but they’ll have no other options.
