Pitched as a great compromise for the environmentally conscious yet road-tripping driver, plug-in hybrids — or PHEVs — have a few problems.
For one, people aren’t plugging them in.
Study after study show these vehicles — which boast an electric motor for emission-free rides and a gas engine for longer range — are actually being used more in gas mode. This means they’re polluting a lot more than a customer might think.
The CBC continues to push the LPC’s EV lie.
The sanitised narrative ignores ethical truths
This may seem a strange question, but what exactly is wrong with terminating the lives of female foetuses, simply because they are female? The official progressive line is that where an abortion is wanted, it should be facilitated wherever possible; that personal reasons for doing it should not be challenged by the state. Yet when a Scottish Government-commissioned report was released last week, arguing that a blind eye should be turned to sex-selective terminations, there was general consternation.
Or here is another puzzle. Why does the British Pregnancy Advisory Service — the UK’s main abortion provider, and uncompromising in its mission to facilitate women’s reproductive choices, whatever they are — explain on its website that their clients may take “pregnancy remains” away afterwards for a “private service, burial or cremation”? Why might anyone want to do such a thing?
Few places are more picturesquely English than the village of Kidlington in Oxfordshire. It’s close to Blenheim Palace and the River Cherwell, and it contains an 800-year-old church and more Georgian cottages than you could shake a stick at. More recently, Kidlington has added to its store of quintessential English landmarks: an insuperable mound of rubbish.

There’s something that the U.S. ambassador to Canada thinks could help with thawing frozen trade negotiations over President Trump’s tariffs.
And that is for Canada to continue with a deal to purchase American-made F-35 fighter jets from the company Lockheed Martin. The government began an audit of that deal after Mr. Trump imposed tariffs on Canada.
The review will assess if the new fleet remains compatible with Canada’s military needs and the protection of its sovereignty “in light of evolving geopolitics,” according to the defense department.
A major trial of alleged members of the far-left extremist group known as the ‘Hammer Gang’ (Hammerbande) is set to begin Tuesday at the Higher Regional Court in Dresden.
Among the defendants are the group’s leaders, Johann Guntermann and Paul M., who face charges of membership in or support of a far-left criminal organization as well as attempted murder. The trial had been postponed several times, with the latest delay due to the unavailability of the defense.
Hundreds of furious residents have taken to the streets to protest against government plans to move hundreds of lone male asylum seekers into an army training camp.
The Home Office intends to transfer around 600 migrants to the military site in Crowborough, East Sussex by the end of next month – a move locals say has been forced on the community with virtually no consultation.
The mounting anger follows revelations that cadets based at the camp could be removed to make way for the arrivals.
A fantastic turnout by patriots to show Crowborough does not want 600 young potentially dangerous men being shoved into this town without local consultation by a Govt that hates the UK & has lost complete control of our women’s & young girl’s safety & security @_AdvanceUK… pic.twitter.com/1FXR8YyAa3

Repulsive and infuriating.
That describes an email invite to RCMP veterans in Nova Scotia to take part in an “opportunity” to attend a free presentation on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
Predatory, exploitative, and crafty.
If Canadians care to understand why our country is increasingly fractured, one key driver is the notion that non-Indigenous Canadians — “settlers” as they are called — should be grateful to live anywhere in the Americas.
The “settler” label is mostly directed at those of British and European ancestry. But it can apply to anyone whose families arrived from anywhere — Africa, Asia, the Levant, the Pacific — who were not part of the prior waves of migration to the Americas.
The LA Times published a story yesterday headlined “The first home has been rebuilt in the wake of the Palisades Fire.”
Canada’s young people, especially the large numbers of younger conservatives, feel more and more homeless in their own country.
They are not only priced out of housing, but told by their teachers, media broadcasters, and elected officials that Canada is imaginary, and that Canadians are guilty of being genocidal “settlers” by demerit of their birth and heritage. There is real and justified anger among them.
You white people don’t want socialism because you’re racist. You don’t want black people to have nice things.

While it will enrage the usual suspects, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s assertion Canada’s “immigration insanity,” rather than his boss’ trade war against us, is the reason Canada’s “living standards have stagnated,” contains an element of truth.
Vance made the claims on X on Friday, in responding to a chart posted by another user that showed Canada’s real (inflation-adjusted) GDP per person – a widely accepted metric for determining a nation’s standard of living – has plummeted in recent years.
And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.
The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

America’s bishops stumbled on immigration — and got corrected by Rome.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has made repeated missteps when dealing with the issue of immigration. These include misrepresenting the Catholic Church’s teachings on refugees, mitigating the Church’s teachings on national sovereignty, downplaying the responsibilities of immigrants, and lambasting faithful Catholics for upholding national security and cultural identity. The latest example of the USCCB’s pontificating on the subject has drawn strong responses from numerous prominent Catholics, including the Pope himself!
Should American K–12 students be taught, without informing their parents, to sympathize with terrorists? Of course not.
But that’s exactly what’s happening in K–12 schools across the country, thanks to instructional materials supplied by the California-based nonprofit Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) and unearthed by Defending Education.
