Why would we impose more taxes on Canadians when we could instead put limits on foreign speculation?
“Bad Law”
Three Los Angeles Supermarkets Close After City Passes Mandate Requiring Groceries To Increase Employee Pay
The grocery chain Kroger will close three more of its stores in Los Angeles after the city passed a mandate requiring large grocery stores to temporarily boost employee pay by an extra $5 per hour, numerous sources reported.
Two Ralphs stores and a Food 4 Less will shut down on May 15 after the city approved the “hero pay” emergency order that the grocery chain says would increase employee’s total compensation to $24 an hour, which includes pension benefits and health care, CBS LA reported Thursday.
Chicago Suburb Becomes First U.S. City to Offer Reparations for ‘Historical Racism’—But It’s Already Being Called ‘Anti-Black’
Evanston, Ill., is a suburb of 75,000 residents directly north of the city of Chicago. Aside from being the home of Northwestern University and the birthplace of dozens of famous actors, including Bill Murray, the city is known as just an extension of Chicago.
Now, Evanston will be known as the first city in the country to offer reparations to black people. The Evanston City Council will vote on March 22 to finalize a plan that was approved by voters in 2019 offering reparations to black people for “historical racism and discrimination.”
Like welfare, once begun, there is no way to end it.
James Clyburn Says the Quiet Part Out Loud While Insisting HR-1 Must Pass
Representative James Clyburn (D-S.C.), whom many credit with helping President Biden win the South Carolina primary, is saying the quiet part out loud about HR-1. Also called the “For the People Act,” and emotionally tied to the late Rep. John Lewis, HR-1 would gut nearly every election security measure used nationwide. It mandates things such as ballot harvesting and prohibits measures such as voter ID at the federal level. It essentially takes all power away from the state legislatures to define election law, despite the fact that it is a power given to them specifically in the Constitution.
15 Insane Things In Democrats’ H.R. 1 Bill To Corrupt Elections Forever
On Wednesday, House Democrats passed an 800-page bill that would mandate insecure voting processes and subject voting tallies to partisan manipulation. It’s a slap in the face to the half of Americans, including many Democrats, who believe the 2020 election was riddled with fraud and errors, largely due to the rapid expansion of mail-in balloting and other suspensions of state election laws.
‘Trilogy Of Radical Policy’: Lindsey Graham Says Three Democratic Bills Mean America ‘Will Not Be The Nation You Remember’

Senate Passes $1.9 Trillion COVID-19 Relief Bill
In a 50-49 vote, Senate Democrats voted to pass the American Rescue Plan, which passed the House in a 219-212 vote with no Republican support. Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote Thursday in the Senate to begin the debate on the American Rescue Plan.
Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is
President Joe Biden has announced that he will move ahead with a proposed Equality Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. A decision celebrated by Liberal America, it will be the first such legislation to be implemented at US federal level. Campaigners argue this is necessary in a nation where, in many states, it’s still legal to refuse housing or services to someone on the basis of being gay or trans. But the legislation comes with a sting in the tail for women, which may prove unexpectedly costly to the Democrats.
WARMINGTON: Judge rules Danforth shooting victims’ families can sue gun maker
They can’t bring back two amazing girls who had their life snuffed out by bullets from an illegal gun fired by Faisal Hussain in 2018.
But those caught in the evil shooting spree on The Danforth — a rampage that killed Julianna Kozis, 10, and Reese Fallon, 18, and wounded 13 others — are now able to sue the manufacturer of the gun used on that July 22 evening.
So now when vehicular terrorism occurs, the victims can sue the vehicle manufacturer and the company who supplied the gasoline, right? Tire makers too?
Police log 120,000 ‘hate reports’ – but not ONE is a crime – as top cops defend system which helps ‘measure tensions’
Police have recorded hate-speech allegations against more than 120,000 people – yet cannot identify a single crime that has been prevented by the exercise.
Critics say the controversial practice of logging ‘non-crime hate incidents’, even after officers decided what was said or posted online did not break any laws, has a ‘chilling effect on free speech’.
Democrats Introduce Bill to ‘Massively Expand’ Mail-in Voting
Democrat lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill dubbed the “Vote at Home Act,” which seeks to “massively expand vote-at-home ballot access,” enacting automatic voter registration and providing voters with pre-paid ballot envelopes.
Trump releases pot prisoners jailed for life under Biden’s 1994 crime bill
President Trump on Wednesday released seven prisoners with life sentences for marijuana — including some jailed without parole under President-elect Joe Biden’s 1994 crime bill.
Paraplegic Michael Pelletier, 65, and Corvain Cooper, 41, are among the men who received prison commutations from Trump.
Pelletier had a life sentence for smuggling pot from Canada into Maine in the early 2000s. Both jurisdictions later legalized the drug.
Japanese Power Concerns Call for Energy-Saving Measures During Cold Snap
The Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan has called for cooperation for power saving as the supply-demand balance becomes tight amid a cold snap hitting the country.
The industry group said Sunday on its website that it wants customers to cooperate for efficient power consumption by continuing to use heating equipment amid the cold wave while curbing the use of other electric appliances.
Electricity demand for heating has been increasing recently as cold weather continues to hit many regions of the country. In seven regions, mainly in western Japan, on Friday, maximum power demand surpassed the levels believed to be seen once in about 10 years, the federation said.
Meanwhile, there have been days when the amount of electricity generated with solar energy dropped due to bad weather, according to the group.
