Texas gets approximately 24 percent of its energy from wind and solar, which is significantly more than the rest of the nation. The national average is only 3 percent from wind and solar. As the record cold hit Texas from February 8 to February 16, renewable power generation dropped from 24 percent to an abysmal 8.3 percent as turbines froze and solar panels were covered with snow.
In the weeks that followed, Leftist politicians and the media have embarked on an extensive PR campaign, trying to blame everything for the blackouts – except for wind and solar.
The main narrative tries to shift blame to the supposed failure of coal and gas backup power. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Chuck Schumer even doubled down on green energy, claiming that if Texas had enacted a Green New Deal, the energy crisis would have never happened.
As The Liberal Government Attempts To Steal Your Freedom of Expression, Canadians Must Prove Whether We Are Worthy Of The Rights Our Ancestors Fought For.
An OPP spokesperson said Thursday night the amount of the fine will be determined in court. Fines, if convicted, can reach up to $10 million for corporations.
Not long after giving his first address to Congress, President Joe Biden sat down with NBC on Thursday and continued his apparent attempt to dismiss or entirely ignore the ongoing migrant crisis at the United States’ southern border.
The inaccuracy rate varied wildly between different call centres. While the Calgary and St. John’s centres had an inaccuracy rate of 3%, the centre in Toronto gave inaccurate responses 13% of the time.
In a previous statement, CRA Commissioner Bob Hamilton said the agency is not responsible for any financial consequences stemming from bad advice.
Using his first address to a joint session of Congress to pitch an ambitious expansion of government, President Joe Biden made several broad misrepresentations of the issues he pledged to tackle.
The president’s overall message Wednesday night involved offering his liberal agenda as the remedy for a litany of crises that he said the country faces.
Steven Guilbeault says only “extremist element” opposes internet regulation bill
In Question Period Thursday, Conservative MP Rachael Harder accused the Liberal government of being “deceptive, sneaky, crafty and wrong” by attempting to argue that Bill C-10 – which would regulate online publishers and even user-generated content – will not threaten free speech.
Regina Councillors Try to Block Trans Person Warning of Dangers of Hormone Treatments for Kids
Although Smith identifies as transgender, he strongly opposes gender/sex transitioning children using strong puberty-blocking drugs, and other invasive medical treatments, especially due to the fact that the vast majority of children who identify as transgender in one way or another desist before the age of 18.
Smith’s attempt to reach the members of the Regina City Council did not go over well with the majority of the board seeming to refuse to hear even the most basic factual overview for why the medical transitioning of children is mentally and physically dangerous to their health. Multiple councillors repeatedly cut Smith’s testimony off claiming it was off-topic or irrelevant.
‘It’s shocking:’ More than 1,000 parking tickets issued at Calgary’s mass vaccination site
Weyman said he didn’t know the free parking being offered by the Calgary Parking Authority (CPA) at the site was only valid for 90 minutes.
“It was fairly chaotic, but all we were told was to put our license plate number into ParkPlus and go get in line, which is exactly what we did,” he said.
Knife-Wielding Ma’Khia Bryant’s High School Stealthily Adds Her To Honor Roll After Mother Claimed She Was An “Honor Roll Student”
The high school of the knife-wielding teen shot by police while attacking another woman quietly added her to their honor roll after her mother had claimed she was an “honor roll student”.
Independence High School in Columbus, Ohio updated the honor roll list on its website to show that Ma’Khia Bryant had recently earned honor roll status for the past nine-week quarter.
Let’s Not Give Statehood To The Third World Country Of Washington DC
In their latest leftist power-grab, Democratic lawmakers in the House of Representatives voted last week to admit Washington, D.C. as the 51st state in the union, tossing the measure to the Senate, where it faces an uphill battle. That’s because, as even some Democratic senators know, conferring statehood on the District of Columbia is a horrible idea — and not just because the founders wouldn’t approve.
The Bay Area has descended into a post-apocalyptic hellscape
I was last in San Francisco about three years ago. Back then, the City was already degrading. In the years since then, with help from COVID, the Bay Area has degraded even further. This is what leftism does to communities.
Paul and Marilyn Hueper, owners of Homer Inn & Spa, woke with a start at 9 a.m. April 28 when a dozen armed FBI agents kicked down their front door in an investigation associated with Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s stolen laptop, which was taken during the Jan. 6 siege of the nation’s Capitol.
Action and defiance and has a storied history in America: Patrick Henry, Frederick Douglas, Susan B Anthony, Rosa Parks, and MLK. But what if you are not destined for the pages of the history books? You can still make your voice heard and your actions seen. Courage begets courage. Compliance and silence only emboldens the Left. Vote with your dollars, adjust your behavior, and speak with your voice. Seven grassroots actions that conservatives should consider today or in the near future (from easy-to-hard).
An agreement announced last week that allows Manitoba truck drivers who regularly cross the border into North Dakota to get vaccinated in the U.S. will be extended to teachers and other school workers, he said.
“The way this will work is the person will go to the border, [cross], get a vaccine and must come immediately back. They’re not going shopping in Grand Forks,” Pallister said during a news conference Thursday.
At the same time as President Emmanuel Macron wants to crack down on Islamic extremism, which he blames for a series of deadly terror attacks in France since 2015, the planned mosque in the eastern French city has found itself in the government’s crosshairs because it is backed by a leading Turkish Muslim group.
Nearly 175,000 people identified as Black on the Prairies during Canada’s 2016 census.
Like all data, this figure may not say much on its own. It is limited to the number of respondents who specifically identified as “Black.” Also, a lot could have changed in the five years since the last census was conducted.
However, when put in context, a closer look at the statistics reveals stories about a rapidly growing Black population with deep roots in the region and branches stretching across the Black diaspora.
Below are 10 graphics that illustrate where Black people on the Prairies live, how long they’ve been here, where they were born, the languages they speak and the religions they practice.
For the scientifically-engaged person, there are few questions more troubling when looking at the current climate emergency than that of having a baby. Whether your body throbs to reproduce, you passively believe that it is on the cards for you one day, or you actively seek to remain child-free, the declining health of the planet cannot help but factor in your thinking. Before I got pregnant, I worried feverishly about the strain on the earth’s resources that another Western child would add. The food he ate, the nappies he wore, the electricity he would use; before he’d even started sitting up, my child would have already contributed far more to climate change than his counterpart in, say, Kerala or South Sudan. But I also worried about the sort of world that I would bring my child into – where we have perhaps just another 60 harvests left before our overworked soil gives out and we are running out of fresh water. Could I really have a baby, knowing that by the time he was my father’s age, he may be living on a dry and barren earth?
With a smattering of nays from the floor of the House of Commons, the federal NDP’s latest effort to pressure the Liberal government to implement a guaranteed livable basic income was defeated.
But while the non-binding motion required unanimous approval, meaning it never stood a reasonable chance of proceeding, the push to build a financial safety net for all is unlikely to dissipate as Canada wrestles with a devastating third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
