They sneered at Trump’s ‘eagle graveyards’ – but now Biden’s hated windmills crippling an American legend are haunting the US military

When Donald Trump warned that wind farms were ‘eagle graveyards’ he was mocked by liberals, but now a cabinet secretary is warning that as well as harming wildlife, they threaten America’s troops.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum warned that the towers — which dwarf the Statue of Liberty — can interfere with critical military radars.

Burgum said the Department of Defense is investigating the potential threat, while the FAA fears they could disrupt systems at commercial airports along the East Coast, particularly in the densely populated northeast.

Conrad Black: For the sake of the country, Carney must drop his green obsessions

This past Tuesday I attended a discussion between former prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper sponsored by the C.D. Howe Institute in the annual Aaron Regent dinner, and moderated by its affable and well-informed president, Bill Robson. The issue was national unity. In the contemporary manner, guests were invited to indicate the level of their concern on that subject before the discussion started and after it had ended. The majority remained at least partially concerned at the end of the exchange but less so than at the beginning, so they found the words of these two men who between them were prime minister for nearly 20 years, somewhat encouraging.

Canada’s electric vehicle supply chain is fading. Will dreams of making the country an EV powerhouse survive?

Amidst a collapse in electric vehicle sales and persistent United States tariffs, there’s an emerging consensus that the grand vision to transform Canada into an electric vehicle manufacturing powerhouse is dying.

General Motors Co. announced earlier this week that it would end production of its BrightDrop electric delivery van, leaving 1,000 workers in Ingersoll, Ont., with an uncertain future. Last week, Stellantis NV confirmed it will not start EV production at its Brampton assembly plant next year as originally planned, provoking threats of a lawsuit by the federal government.

McTEAGUE: The EV mandate is killing our automotive industry

GM Brightdrop EV Dropped

Another day, another calamity for the Liberals’ attempt to turn Canada into a global Electric Vehicles (EV) superpower: General Motors has just announced that they’re ending production of Bright Drop electric delivery vans at their assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario.

According to GM Canada’s President, Kristian Aquilina, “These Bright Drop vans are a specialized electric delivery van for commercial customers and, quite simply, we just have not seen demand for these vehicles climb to the levels that we initially anticipated.”

$15B and No Guarantees? Rick Perkins Breaks Down the Stellantis Deal

For weeks, Canadians were told, confidently, smugly, that the $15 billion handed to Stellantis and Volkswagen was protected by “job clauses” and “performance-based contracts.” That’s the line Industry Minister Mélanie Joly repeated in interviews, press releases, and on social media. It’s a lie.

Yesterday, we sat down with former Member of Parliament Rick Perkins one of the few people who actually read the unredacted contracts in question and he laid it out plainly: those job guarantees don’t exist. Not in the way you were told. Not even close.

GOLDSTEIN: EV subsidies albatross around necks of Canadian taxpayers

With Canada’s auto sector already under assault from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the $52.5 billion the federal and provincial governments have earmarked to create a domestic electric vehicle supply chain industry in Canada have become an albatross around taxpayers’ necks.

Ontario hit NextStar EV battery plant in Windsor with 10 stop work orders over hazards, documents show

Nexstar was found to be employing foreigners

Workers at a massive, publicly subsidized electric vehicle (EV) battery plant project in southwestern Ontario have faced repeated health and safety hazards, including high levels of carbon monoxide, electrical risks and flooded parking lots, according to government records obtained by CBC News.

The documents show provincial inspectors have visited the site dozens of times since construction broke ground in 2022 and have issued over 100 orders to NextStar Energy, the company behind the project, that were related to health and safety issues.

Poilievre demands federal government release its contracts with Stellantis

The Conservative Party of Canada is calling on the federal government to publicly release its contracts with Stellantis following the company’s announcement Tuesday that it is scrapping plans to produce the Jeep Compass in Brampton, Ont., and going with a U.S. plant instead.

The demand was made in a letter sent on Friday to Prime Minister Mark Carney by the leader of the official opposition, Pierre Poilievre.

“You claimed yesterday that Stellantis is obligated to keep jobs in Brampton, yet auto workers have been left in the dark about what Canadians got for the $10 billion your government promised to that company,” Poilievre wrote in the letter.

Canada’s costly EV scheme stalls out again

On Wednesday, laid-off employees at the Stellantis plant in Brampton, Ont., received a robocall delivering bad news: they had no jobs to go back to.

It was another stall on the road for Canada’s automotive strategy, which has seen federal and provincial governments dole out mounds of cash and add regulations and protective tariffs in a floundering attempt to create more jobs and build a state-of-the-art electric vehicle industry.

Stellantis announcement only looks like bad news

This week’s announcement by automaker Stellantis that it’s moving Jeep Compass production from its Brampton, Ont., plant, to Illinois, highlights the folly of Ottawa’s policy of competing with Washington. But it also provides Canada an opportunity to reduce taxpayers’ exposure to the sagging electric vehicle battery market.


This could be a very lucky break for tax payers.

The expansion of a battery project planned for Bécancour, Que., has been put on hold, and the plant that was supposed to feed it has been cancelled.

Quebec Economy Minister Christine Fréchette says Ultium Cam — a partnership of General Motors and South Korean manufacturer POSCO — has paused the second phase of a project to produce cathode active materials for electric-vehicle batteries.

Regulator warns Canada’s green power push could strain electricity grid

Canada may face major electricity reliability challenges as utilities work to meet federal climate targets, the Canada Energy Regulator warned Wednesday.

Blacklock’s Reporter says in its report Ensuring Future Power Grid Reliability, the agency said rising demand from electric vehicles, heat pumps, and other electrified technologies could stretch the country’s power system to its limits.
