Anthony Furey: The Madness of Electric Vehicle Mandates

Five years ago I took the plunge and became a minivan owner and I’ll never forget what the shopping experience told me about electric vehicles (EVs).

We bought the minivan because it was what our growing family needed at the time. I was originally hoping to get an SUV—cooler than a van!—but the storage and seat arrangements just didn’t fit our requirements.

The real reason why there are two marijuana stores on every block

Currently, approximately 1,500 cannabis stores are open or approved in Ontario, 450 in British Columbia and 760 in Alberta (these being the three most populous provinces that have privatized cannabis retail operations). In most cities, one might find two or more cannabis stores on the same block, at the same intersection or within the same plaza.

People often express confusion about, or even resentment toward, this concentration of cannabis stores, and wonder how any of them could make money, or why anybody would want to open one, or how this could have come about.

Ukraine aims for UN-backed peace summit in February

Ukraine is aiming to hold a peace summit by the end of February – preferably at the United Nations with its secretary general, António Guterres, as a possible mediator – according to its foreign minister.

But Dmytro Kuleba said that Russia could only be invited if the country faced a war crimes tribunal first.

Kuleba also said he was “absolutely satisfied” with the results of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s visit to the US last week, and he revealed that the US government had made a special plan to get the Patriot air defence system, which can shoot down enemy missiles, ready to be operational in the country in less than six months. Usually, the training takes up to a year.

No, immigration is not some magic pill for saving the economy

“When all you have is a hammer, all the world’s a nail.” This saying isn’t usually seen as a complimentary description of any policy approach but it appears to capture Canada’s immigration policy.

Immigration, undoubtedly, touches on nearly every aspect of our economy – from employment to output growth to health care to housing. And to hear the government speak, you would think it’s the right tool for the job in every one of them. The problem is, it’s at best an ineffective hammer for every one of them, and using it more will cause more problems than it will solve.

This spells it all out in a very clear fashion. However our corporate class wants slaves and our politicians, Liberal, Conservative or Communist are happy to provide them.

German double agent ‘passed Ukraine intelligence to Russia’

Germany’s spy agency fears that Moscow was able to turn one of its agents in the months following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, it has emerged.

The agent, who worked for Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, is believed to have had access to secret information about the Ukraine war from Britain’s GCHQ spy agency and the National Security Agency (NSA) in the US.

The alleged double agent, identified only as Carsten L in accordance with German privacy regulations, was arrested on suspicion of treason in Berlin last Wednesday. He was remanded in custody after appearing before a judge.

Military can’t — or won’t — reveal outcomes of criminal sexual cases passed to civilians

OTTAWA — Military police don’t know — or won’t say — how many of the dozens of cases involving criminal sexual behaviour referred to civilian counterparts over the past year have resulted in charges.

That has sparked criticism from some experts, who say such information is critical to knowing whether sending such cases to civilian authorities is having the intended effect.

Chinese fleet of militarised ships ‘a threat to trade’

China’s domination of international shipping and control of key European ports would enable it to choke global trade in the event of a conflict with the West over Taiwan, an EU research paper has warned.

The paper, which draws on Chinese government documents, found that “there is a growing politicisation and militarisation of China’s civilian maritime sector” at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions.

“Given the impact of the current war in Ukraine, it is crucial for Europe’s security and prosperity to critically evaluate this vulnerability,” said the paper’s author, Professor Jonathan Holslag of the Brussels VUB university and the Belgian Royal Higher Institute for Defence.

Turkish authorities kill stray dogs and dump the bodies into landfills

Graphic photos and videos showing the bodies of stray dogs killed by the Turkish authorities and dumped into public landfills have been circulating online since November 24, 2022. Animal rights organisations have reported that city officials are responsible for this cruelty.

The mistreatment of stray dogs may be illegal in Turkey, but it is sadly common in this country estimated to have a population of stray dogs that numbers more than 10 million.

A New Marshall Plan? How Ukraine Will Be Rebuilt

Just weeks after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his country’s unprovoked full invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who has proven a master of messaging, bluntly told the Kremlin it would have to “learn the words ‘reparations’ and ‘contributions.'”

More than nine months after the start of the invasion and with no hint that Putin is ready to end his country’s aggression, talk is slowly turning not only to rebuilding Ukraine once the conflict does end, but to how and who will finance what Zelenskiy has declared will be “the largest economic project in Europe of our time,” likely to cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

Will this be any different than the Billions invested in Afghanistan? Forever wars mean the spigot is wide open.
