Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense

Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas.

Some Canadians protest census, express privacy concerns

As some Canadians claim that the federal government’s national census violates their privacy, a Liberal member of Parliament is calling on them to fill out their 2026 census forms for the good of their communities.

Canadians have been asked to fill out the census form by May 12, though Statistics Canada says that’s a “reference date” rather than a deadline.

It’s like they’re on the hunt for the demographics needed to justify the expense of programs serving Swahili Speaking Transgender Geriatrics.

Why is government insane? h/t Patti Jo

NYC woman declined to press charges against subway shover ‘because she didn’t want to put another black man in jail’… weeks later he allegedly killed retired teacher, 76, at station

A young woman in New York City said she declined pressing charges against a violent suspect because she didn’t want to put ‘another black man in jail,’ weeks before he allegedly killed a 76-year-old retired teacher.

The 23-year-old woman anonymously detailed how she and a friend narrowly escaped Rhamell Burke, 32, after he allegedly attacked them while riding the subway on April 2.

The straphanger told the New York Post she now completely regrets her decision not to work with prosecutors after Burke was charged with murder on Friday for allegedly shoving 76-year-old Ross Falzone down a flight of stairs to his death at a subway station Thursday night.

‘Pathetic’: How the people behind Canada’s Afghan war memorial lost many vets

‘Pathetic’: How the people behind Canada’s Afghan war memorial lost many vets

Canada’s proposed Afghanistan war memorial is having trouble connecting with the people it’s designed to honour: The Canadians who fought in the 12-year war.

Ground was officially broken on the future site of the National Monument to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan in Lebreton Flats, near Ottawa’s Canadian War Museum, last Monday. But some vets felt overlooked in a ceremony that focused on the project and not the onetime warriors, and showcased an Indigenous-inspired “Medicine Wheel” design.

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? Why that strange question matters more than you might think

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? Why that strange question matters more than you might think

In recent weeks, right-wing commentators have suggested Donald Trump, their once saviour, may be the Antichrist instead. Pundits have offered competing readings of this shift: is it a joke? A schism in Trump’s base? Good news for America’s midterms? But Trump’s transfiguration is no cause for celebration. Whatever else this new rhetoric portends, it reveals a spreading apocalyptic world view that endangers democracy.

Students of politics have long understood that the stories people tell themselves have at least as much power as the facts. In America, now, one story gaining traction is that of a coming apocalypse: there are signs, this story goes, of a final battle between good and evil, before the world ends. A 2022 Pew poll found 39 per cent of Americans believe they are living in the end-times, and this population overlaps substantially with Trump supporters.

Think taxes are too high in the EU? You must be a conspiracy theorist, according to the EC

Think taxes are too high in the EU? You must be a conspiracy theorist, according to the EC

The European Commission is being ridiculed for a meme portraying people critical of the European Union’s development as conspiracy theorists.

On May 7, the EC’s official account on social network X posted a picture contrasting the supposed reality in Europe – symbolised by an orderly a street in central Paris – with the perspective through the goggles of a tinfoil-hat wearing conspiracy nut.

Carney luvs the EU!
