Trudeau’s Liberals are funding hate. How else to describe the speakers at this Toronto convention?

Homosexuality is filthy, and homosexual acts warrant the death penalty. Christian Arabs who protect Jews from murderers are traitors. A man should be permitted to beat his wife.

I used to report on this exact sort of thing for years but gave up in frustration. Sad to say it’s nothing new, in fact it just keeps getting worse because our politicians are vile cowards. That’s how diversity strengthens us.

GOLDSTEIN: Despite political rhetoric, the world’s going back to fossil fuels

Sensing now is not the time, the Trudeau government is delaying until next year a second carbon tax that will increase the cost of gasoline by an estimated five to 11 cents per litre by 2030.

Called the Clean Fuel Standard, the new regulations requiring producers to reduce the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel fuel, originally scheduled to be implemented this year, have been pushed back until 2023.

Sure hope we don’t see gas riots!

Smoke and Mirrors: What’s behind the apparent rash of fires at U.S. food-processing facilities?

Is America’s food industry being sabotaged? Consumers got a sense that our food-supply chains might be fragile when Covid-19 outbreaks shut down several meatpacking plants in the spring of 2020. Supermarket meat coolers were thinly stocked for weeks. In 2021, some observers began noticing a seeming uptick in fires and other disruptions at food-production facilities around the country. Soon lists of “suspicious” fires at food plants began circulating on Facebook and Twitter. Our “food supply is under attack,” a typical tweet proclaimed.

By the spring of 2022, the lists of fires and other incidents had grown to include more than 90 events…

Curses! Foiled Again!

EU Signs Deal with Egypt and Israel to Boost Gas Exports to Europe

Israel, Natural Gas Off Shore

The European Union has signed a memorandum of understanding with Israel and Egypt that paves the way for potentially significant quantities of Israeli natural gas to be shipped to Europe.

The trilateral agreement, signed on June 15 in Cairo at a meeting of the East Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF), an intergovernmental organization, calls for Israeli gas to be sent to liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Egypt. From there, the gas in liquid form will be transported across the Mediterranean Sea on LNG vessels to markets in Europe.

Snake Island: Why Russia couldn’t hold on to strategic Black Sea outcrop

This tiny, rocky outcrop in the north-west of the Black Sea was seized by Russia on the first day of its invasion of Ukraine, and it has played an outsized role in the war ever since.

After more than four months of repeated Ukrainian bombardment, Russian forces have abandoned Snake or Zmiinyi Island, as it is known in Ukraine.

Russia says it has withdrawn its garrison as a “gesture of goodwill” to prove it was not obstructing grain exports, but Ukraine dismissed that claim, as Moscow continued to shell its grain stores.

Canadians Struggle to Buy Groceries Due to Highest Inflation in 39 Years, Study Shows

More than half of Canadians are struggling to pay for household grocery bills as the country faces a 7.7 percent inflation rate, the highest in 39 years, a new Angus Reid Institute (ARI) study shows.

Out of more than 5,000 adult Canadians surveyed, 45 percent said they are worse off now than they were at this time a year ago—the highest rate recorded in the past 12 years, the study said. But more than one-third (34 percent) believe things will get worse in a year from now—also the highest number in more than a decade.

Celebrities’ Wildest Reactions to SCOTUS Rejection of Roe v. Wade

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade it wasn’t just lefty reporters who became apoplectic, the Hollywood elite were enraged too. Actors immediately flew to Twitter to unleash their (in some cases) profanity-laced attacks on the conservative Justices.

Of course, the late night talk show hosts also lectured their viewers. Pop singers like Olivia Rodrigo and sports figures like Megan Rapinoe also got into the act.

Sonny Barger, Face of the Hells Angels, Dies at 83

Sonny Barger, the face of the Hells Angels who was instrumental in the outlaw motorcycle club’s rise from a small gang of California outcasts into a countercultural force, has died. He was 83.
His death was announced on his Facebook page on Thursday, in a post that Mr. Barger asked to be published “immediately after my passing.” The cause was cancer, according to the post, which did not say where he died.
“I’ve lived a long and good life filled with adventure,” Mr. Barger said in the post. “And I’ve had the privilege to be part of an amazing club.”

A ‘NATO’ for the Middle East? That includes Israel?

Rumors of a new Middle Eastern military alliance are flying. They’re significant because an “Arab NATO” may include Israel, signaling next steps in better ties between Israel and Arab neighbors. But are the rumors real?

Late last week, the king of Jordan made headlines when he told journalists that he would support a military alliance in the Middle East that was similar to NATO.

“I would be one of the first people that would endorse a Middle East NATO,” King Abdullah II told US media outlet CNBC. “All of us are coming together and saying, ‘How can we help each other?’ … which is, I think, very unusual for the region.”

Similar rumors about the creation of an “Arab NATO” also came from other quarters.

We can thank Trump for this;)

Here’s what to know as Ottawa braces for Canada Day protests amid ‘lingering trauma’

The nation’s capital is bracing for a Canada Day set to draw large crowds after two years of virtual celebrations — just months after an unprecedented illegal demonstration that police say is still causing “lingering trauma” among Ottawa residents.

In normal years, Canada Day festivities draw thousands to the lawns and streets around Parliament Hill for concerts, fireworks and parties. COVID-19 forced celebrations to be virtual instead, in 2020 and 2021.

… official celebrations will be based at LeBreton Flats, the festival grounds roughly a 20-minute walk west of Parliament Hill, as the parliamentary precinct battens down.

The public’s disdain for Junior and his fellow LPC grifters is well deserved.  No wonder they’re afraid and so quick to criminalize the citizen’s they allegedly serve.

Leaked Documents Reveal Wide Scope of China’s Human Rights Violations in Xinjiang

Documents and photos of thousands of ethnic Uighurs arrested by Chinese authorities, made public in late May, lend additional indisputable evidence to the Communist regime’s massive human rights violations in Xinjiang. Many of the leaked documents are official Chinese Ministry of Interior dossiers of incarcerated individuals just from Shufu, one among 61 counties in Xinjiang Province. The Shufu County in the Kashgar Prefecture is the site of several large internment camps.

One of the leaked documents, which contains “a shoot to kill order” for guards in the camp’s watchtowers, confirms that these camps are indeed prisons. Another leaked report stipulates how detainees are to be transported from one site to an alternate location: ankle shackles, handcuffs and hoods.
