Federal government backs development of mini nuclear reactors with new action plan

Nuclear power is essential to meeting Canada’s climate-change goals, and developing portable mini nuclear reactors is a key part of that strategy, the federal energy minister said on Friday.

In announcing an “action plan” for developing small modular reactors, Seamus O’Regan said the new technology has the potential to help Canada cut emissions and stimulate economic growth.

“I believe in the development of this technology,” O’Regan said from St. John’s, N.L. “You’ve got to lay the groundwork for that now.”

Trudeau wants to ban gas powered vehicles and make the transition to so called Green electric transportation. That will require huge amounts of electricity to pull off. That means an awful lot of reactors. Look at the resistance to the Trans-Mountain pipe line. Now magnify that ten or even a hundred fold. There are few to no SMR’s in your future under an LPC,Bloc,NDP government.

Rex Murphy: A question for Erin O’Toole and the Conservative party

Rex Murphy: A question for Erin O’Toole and the Conservative party

Why is it necessary or laudable for Canada to pulverize its major resources, wound Canadian agriculture to its heart, for the sake of a Liberal charade?

It would be quite wonderful to hear the Conservative party’s clear stance on the whole notion of apocalyptic anthropogenic global warming. Especially on that version of it which is touted by its most recognizable advocates, everyone from Greta Thunberg to Elizabeth May to all the clamorous NGOs and the Hollywood intelligentsia.

Does the Conservative party stand in accord with the dire warnings, that we “have but 10 years left” to save the world, that industrial civilization as we know it must be refashioned completely, and the production and use of all fossil fuels cease and be banned?

Californians flee state in numbers so great it is projected to lose House seat and electoral vote for first time

An exodus sparked by high taxes, coronavirus lockdowns, and regulations has driven California’s population growth rate to a record low, which is projected to cost the state a seat in Congress and an electoral vote.

“This is a real sea change in California, which used to be this state of pretty robust population growth,” said Hans Johnson, a demographer at the Public Policy Institute of California, regarding the net migration loss, which has now occurred three years in a row. “It hasn’t been for some time now. But it’s now gotten to the point where the state is essentially not growing population-wise at all.”

Blue Dress Proof – What it takes to get the media to believe a Democrat did wrong.

For a damaging story about a Democrat to be true, DNA must be found on a blue dress. There must be Blue Dress Proof™. It’s not enough to have a witness and a victim. It’s not enough to have a computer, a cache of validated emails, thousands of affadavits signed under the threat of perjury. There must be actual DNA, videotaped evidence. If the bad guy is a Democrat, there must be Blue Dress Proof.

The Politics of Affliction

The Politics of Affliction

New York City’s progressive leaders apparently believe that it is their mission to disrupt the comfort of their constituents.

There was no shortage of suffering in New York in 2020. With the Covid-19 pandemic, economic hardship, rioting, and street violence, there’s been plenty of misery to go around. But according to some prominent elected officials and bureaucrats, the fun’s only getting started. They seem to see it as part of their job—really, their duty—to make sure that New Yorkers feel the pain.

Hungary: “Europe’s Borders Must be Protected”

The Court of Justice of the European Union, the EU’s top court, has ruled that Hungary violated EU law when it prevented illegal immigrants from seeking asylum. The ruling paves the way for the European Commission, the EU’s powerful administrative arm, to impose financial penalties over Hungary’s restrictive immigration policies. The Hungarian government has vowed that it will not bow to pressure to jump aboard the EU’s multicultural bandwagon.

In its December 17 ruling, the court, informally known as European Court of Justice (ECJ) accused the Hungarian government of corralling migrants into so-called transit zones and of limiting their ability to apply for asylum. The court also found that Hungary did not allow asylum seekers to leave detention while their cases were being considered and offered no special protection to children and the vulnerable.
