Leicester is no multicultural success – it is a stark warning to the rest of Britain

Leicester found its most famous figure under a car park.

Five centuries after his death, the bones of Richard III were uncovered beneath tarmac and paint markings – an English king reduced to an inconvenience in a city that had forgotten it had buried him. When the discovery was finally made, it was packaged as a curiosity and a triumph of archaeology.

But perhaps it should have been recognised as something else entirely: a metaphor for how the city has too often dealt with uncomfortable truths by covering them.

Leicester presents itself as untroubled: diverse, modern, quietly successful. But underneath the slogans is a city transformed faster than its institutions, politics, and communities were ever prepared to handle.

How Ottawa’s New Program Replacing the EV Mandate Pushes Canadians Toward Electric Vehicles

China’s EV’s

It’s not surprising that Prime Minister Mark Carney finally scrapped the electric vehicle (EV) mandate brought in by his predecessor Justin Trudeau. Despite years of subsidies, promotion, and arm-twisting, Canadians weren’t willing to embrace EVs in numbers anywhere near those mandated.

Auto manufacturers and dealers were caught in an impossible situation as they were expected to build and sell a product under a fast-approaching deadline when consumers didn’t want it. Either the mandate had to be scrapped, or the punitive phase of the policy would have to be applied to dealers and manufacturers. Carney chose the former option.

France urges 29-year-olds to get on with having kids

France is to send a letter to all 29-year-olds encouraging them to have babies before it is too late.

The young adults are to receive a government letter warning them that their biological clock is ticking and telling them that help is available if they are struggling to conceive.

The measure is part of a 16-point plan designed to increase the country’s dwindling birth rate, notably by countering infertility, which affects one in eight couples, according to officials.

OLDCORN: Immigration is out of control and Canadians know it

Canadians are not “turning on newcomers.” Canadians are turning on a system that has stopped making sense.

A national survey released on January 29 by Research Co. found only 34% of Canadians now say immigration is having a mostly positive effect on the country.

Nearly half, 48%, say the impact is mostly negative. That’s not a minor tremor. It’s a hard swing in public mood, and it has been moving fast.

UK Singer Slams Police: Shielded Trans Stalker, Targeted Me

English singer-songwriter Louise Distras, who was previously banned from music streaming service Ampwall for her allegedly ‘transphobic’ views, has submitted a formal complaint to the West Yorkshire Police Professional Standards after the police “repeatedly downplayed or ignored” three years of reports of “serious, sustained stalking, harassment, threats and intimidation from a trans rights activist” and instead treated her as the offender, she said on Substack.

Tory MP Questions New Police Cooperation Agreement With China Despite Beijing’s Hostile Actions

Conservative MP and democratic reform critic Michael Cooper is raising concerns about Ottawa’s new agreement with Beijing on cooperation between law enforcement agencies, saying China poses a security threat to Canada.

Cooper asked Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, as he was testifying before the House of Commons Procedure and House Affairs committee on Feb. 5, whether China is a rule of law state and whether it has an independent judiciary.

“I’m not here as a foreign policy expert, nor an expert on China,” Anandasangaree responded.

Lorne Gunter: Expect polls to determine when Liberals force early election

If you want to know whether Canada is headed for a spring election (or a fall election, or any other time election) there is just one number to look at: seat projections.

The Liberal Party of Canada has not become the most successful political organization in the Western world for the last century because it cares about policy, economics, the environment, national defence or federal debt.

GOLDSTEIN: Just admit it, Canada, the EV market has crashed

EV’s repurposed as canola field burners

For heaven’s sake, can we just admit the painfully obvious point that Canada’s federal and provincial governments committed a massive strategic blunder when they went whole hog into subsidizing the production and sale of EV vehicles and batteries?

After Epstein, How Can ‘Authorities’ Maintain Legitimacy?

Why should liars, frauds, pedophiles, and evil perverts rule over us?

Governments habitually lie. They lie so often that it is peculiar for governments to claim “authority” on anything other than falsehood. Before the Gutenberg press and general literacy, “authorities” announced self-serving lies in the public square. With the arrival of newsprint, “authorities” disseminated State propaganda as daily news. Radio and television revolutionized the mass manipulation of minds. The adoption of the personal computer, the rise of the Internet, the commercialization of pocket computers posing as handheld phones, and the sticky web of an ever-growing social media complex have made it possible for government “authorities” to reach inside every human brain and squish it into compliance. AI-powered machines now manufacture and disseminate lies faster than human-powered governments ever could.
