If you are one of the nearly 19 million working Canadians expecting to receive a $250 cheque from the Liberal government in the new year, don’t spend the money just yet.
Sources have told National Post that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will reverse the government’s position on the “Working Canadians Rebate” that would have cost an estimated $4.68 billion.

Supposedly you lose 12 minutes of life every time you drink a soda and 24 minutes if you eat a hot dog. And of course the media report it as if it were true with no questions asked.
Google’s quantum computing breakthrough on Monday has left the physicist who heads the project a believer in ‘the idea that we live in a multiverse.’
‘Willow,’ the tech giant’s new quantum chip, succeeded in solving a computational problem so complex it would have taken today’s best super-computers an estimated 10 septillion years to solve it — vastly more than the age of our entire universe.
But Google said its new quantum computer solved the puzzle ‘in under five minutes.’
’Tis the season to be jolly! Most of us are currently feeling joy because Christmas is around the corner. But if your name is Taylor Lorenz, it’s because a man was shot dead in broad daylight.
Former Kentucky swimmer and vocal anti-trans activist Riley Gaines has torn into the Scripps National Spelling Bee for what she sees as a surrender to ‘fabricated issues’ in gender politics.
Gaines expressed outrage after it was revealed that the competition’s study list for third graders included the word ‘womyn’ as an alternative spelling for the word ‘women.’
The word ‘womyn,’ a spelling that originated in feminist movements as an effort to distance the term from its perceived association with the word ‘man.’
Ten years after a deadly attack on its office that shocked France, Charlie Hebdo magazine is marking the anniversary with a cartoon contest mocking God.
The satirical weekly was targeted by two Islamic extremists on January 7, 2014, who gunned down eight members of staff including some of the country’s most famous cartoonists inside its premises in central Paris.

I’m shocked the DNC paid this wee dolt.
Crazy. Delusional. Brainwashed. This woman has been called names since insisting Kamala will be President come January.

John McDougall, a seven-year member of the Edmonton police commission and its current chair, plans to spend two more years on the oversight board from Portugal.
In a statement released Friday, McDougall said he is retiring from his career in the Canadian Armed Forces and moving overseas.
His time as the commission chair is up on Dec. 31, 2024, and he said he won’t seek that position again. But his appointment as a commission member lasts until the end of 2026, and McDougall intends to stay on for the rest of his term despite the move to Europe.
WNBA star Caitlin Clark may have made some comments about the “privilege” she has in being white after she was named Time’s athlete of the year, but that doesn’t mean the woke mob will forgive her.
Very disappointing.

How did the Alexander brothers become real-estate elites while allegedly raping or assaulting more than a dozen women?
A half-naked woman was lying on the table, and guests were invited to drip hot wax onto her body. Nearby, waiters passed tuna-tartare cones as a pair of burlesque dancers wearing dog collars and fishnets performed acrobatics. It was a summer night in 2015, and Oren and Alon Alexander were celebrating their 28th birthday in a $50 million townhouse on the Upper East Side.
A pair of real-life Gossip Girl characters, “the Alexander brothers,” as they were known in their Manhattan circle, were perfectly coiffed, perpetually suited up, and, like the party, sexy in a cheesy kind of way. There were Carnevale-style masks on the bar. The event featured a step-and-repeat and a hashtag. It was the twins’ birthday, but everyone knew the Alexander brothers included Tal, who was older than his siblings by less than a year. Oren and Tal sold luxury real estate together, including the very townhouse where the party was being held. Their boss, Douglas Elliman chairman Howard Lorber, was in attendance; so was Million Dollar Listing’s Fredrik Eklund, Billionaires’ Row developer Rotem Rosen, and a whole lot of models. As the twins blew out the candles on their cake, their family and friends and the brokers and models cheered.
Epstein, Diddy, Weinstein the list goes on and on.
