Canada won’t resolve electric vehicle dispute with U.S. by citing new NAFTA, former ambassador says

A former U.S. ambassador to Canada says Ottawa probably won’t be able to use the new North American trade agreement to resolve a simmering dispute between the two nations.

Canada has been pushing the Biden administration and U.S. lawmakers to abandon a proposed electric vehicle purchase incentive — potentially worth up to $12,500 per car — that would apply exclusively to vehicles made in the U.S.

The proposal is part of a nearly $2 trillion social security and climate bill working its way through the U.S. government now.

Zero manufacturing of any kind is a wet dream of the climate crazed Trudeau regime. I doubt they’ll put up much of a fight. They don’t want you driving anything.

Ontario reports 1053 new Covid cases … and WHO says no deaths reported from Omicron yet

Ontario reports 1053 new Covid cases … and WHO says no deaths reported from Omicron yet

Ontario reports more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases for second straight day

For the second straight day the province of Ontario is reporting more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases.

Health officials confirmed 1,053 new infections on Saturday – a slight increase from the 1,031 that was reported on Friday.


WHO says no deaths reported from Omicron yet as Covid variant spreads

The Omicron variant has been detected in at least 38 countries but no deaths have yet been reported, the World Health Organization has said, amid warnings that it could damage the global economic recovery.

The United States and Australia became the latest countries to confirm locally transmitted cases of the variant, as Omicron infections pushed South Africa’s total cases past 3 million.


And 3 doses was always the plan!

COVID-19 vaccines: Do we really need boosters?

Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases faculty member at the University of Toronto, said “semantics matter,” adding that COVID-19 boosters should really just be referred to as a third dose.

Bogoch said many vaccines are administered in three doses, and pointed to the Hepatitis B vaccine as an example.

“So I think we should be thinking of this as a three-dose vaccine series,” he told CTVNews.ca in early November.

The deadly attack is the latest in Mali’s rapidly escalating jihadist insurgency.

Alec Baldwin’s startling confession about Halyna Hutchins’s death

Note that Baldwin did mask his gun.

Last night, ABC aired its Alec Baldwin interview regarding Halyna Hutchins’s death. It was already old news that Baldwin claims that, while he cocked the gun, he did not pull the trigger. The surprise was his confession that he feels no guilt whatsoever for what happened because it was everybody else’s fault, not his.

During the interview, Baldwin readily acknowledged cocking the hammer.

CIA Files Say Staffers Committed Sex Crimes Involving Children. They Weren’t Prosecuted.

Over the past 14 years, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children.

Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime. Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally, meaning few faced any consequences beyond the possible loss of their jobs and security clearances. That marks a striking deviation from how sex crimes involving children have been handled at other federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Administration. CIA insiders say the agency resists prosecution of its staff for fear the cases will reveal state secrets.

The great Islamophobia con

Muslims call for murder of Asia Bibi. It’s what they do.

The Muslim Council of Britain’s latest report is a chilling attempt to crush public criticism of Islam.

So now it’s racist to criticise ISIS? In its latest report on the British media’s coverage of Islam and Muslims, the Muslim Council of Britain describes me as ‘Islamophobic’. What racist speechcrime did I commit in the eyes of these self-elected spokespeople for the UK’s Muslim community? I once wondered out loud, on TV no less, why we are very quick to describe white-nationalist terrorists as neo-fascists – quite rightly – but less quick to use that f-word in relation to ISIS. ‘[It] is very rare’, I said on Sky News, ‘that you hear the word fascism used in relation to Islamist extremists’. This struck me as odd, given that Islamist extremists are hyper-violent and alarmingly regressive and are currently ‘a greater threat to our society’ than white-nationalist nutters are.

Anthony Fauci’s dangerous narcissism

Science can’t be above questioning

For nearly two years now, Anthony Fauci has been an object of fascination, adoration, even worship in an America both frightened and polarised by the coronavirus. From the beginning, the Left identified him as the public health expert to trust: the one member of Donald Trump’s Covid response team who was willing to contradict him in public, our own personal mole in the White House, a voice for science and sanity in the face of the president’s bluster and incompetence.

Genocide, Stolen Land, and Other Lies about America

Native Americans: War refugees on conquered American soil?

A few years ago, I was invited by a small liberal arts college in the Northeast to give a series of lectures on ethics and the formation of moral character to a mixed group of juniors and graduating seniors. I began the class with a discussion of how moral character was undoubtedly shaped by cultural norms, mores, traditions, and protocols but that, given the capacity of humans to question the sense-making narratives they inherit from their societies, the development of agency was also an individualist undertaking.

How the FBI Downplays Leftist Terror Activity

The investigation into the 2019 Dayton, Ohio mass shooting shows the Bureau cannot be trusted to identify left-wing violence.

Pro-Antifa social media accounts are taking a victory lap this week following the announcement that the FBI has ruled out a political motive in the 2019 Dayton, Ohio mass murder of nine people, carried out by Antifa supporter Connor Betts. One of the victims was Betts’ sister.

Insane woman rants about right to kill babies

Whoopi Goldberg has implied men have no right to comment on abortions as she slammed Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Thursday for a remark he made while debating Roe v Wade.

‘The fetus has an interest in having a life,’ Alito said Wednesday during oral arguments in the case of Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health – where Mississippi is attempting to strike down a lower court’s blocking of its 15-week abortion ban.

See No Murder

Despite its obsession with race, the media are blind to the nonwhite victims of rising violent crime.

In recent years, mainstream media have become obsessed with racism. Whether individual or institutional, racism has never faced greater public disapproval according to many reliable measures, yet publications like the New York Times and Washington Post inject the issue into stories on every conceivable topic—from music to sports to cuisine—all calculated to build up the narrative that America is white supremacist at its core. But in their zeal to highlight every racial microaggression at Ivy League universities or in corporate newsrooms, the media all too often ignore the real victims of crime and societal neglect, who are disproportionately nonwhite.

‘Imagine’ all those people …

Indifference or active opposition to effective border control, without which a nation ceases to exist, is an attitude of destructive national self-loathing.

“… However, this is emphatically not the same story as in the past. This is not merely a matter of immigration or political persecution as understood by the international convention on refugees. The numbers wanting to move, and with potentially many more millions behind them, are on an unprecedented scale. Left unchecked, this would entail two baleful consequences for countries admitting such a tide.

The first is practical, in that the social infrastructure of housing and public services would become overwhelmed. The second, more explosive consequence is that such numbers would change the ethnic and cultural character of the nation—without the public ever having been consulted.”

Italian man tries to dodge Covid vaccine wearing fake arm

An Italian man is facing charges of fraud after turning up for his Covid-19 vaccine wearing a fake arm.

So determined was he to dodge the jab but still obtain a health pass, the anti-vaxxer may have paid hundreds of euros for the silicone prosthetic.

The bizarre episode at a vaccine hub in Biella, a town close to Turin in the northern Piedmont region, came a week after Italy announced measures barring unvaccinated people from a host of social, cultural and sporting activities.
