Stellantis Bribe Likely to Exceed Volkswagen Boondoggle

Stellantis NV is likely to receive more in subsidies for a new electric-vehicle battery plant in Canada than the C$13 billion ($9.5 billion) Volkswagen AG extracted for a similar project, according to an expert who has crunched the numbers.

Stellantis and South Korean partner LG Energy Solution Ltd. announced the factory in Windsor, Ontario last year, but have halted construction while they negotiate more financial aid from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government. The companies are seeking the equivalent of what they would receive under the Inflation Reduction Act if they located the plant in the US.

Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen Walks The Talk & Parties With Terror Linked Nigerians

Not a suspect?

OTTAWA — Months after arguing Nigeria’s ruling party is responsible for terrorist acts, the Trudeau government has sent a cabinet minister to celebrate the swearing-in of its new president.

This week, Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen visited Abuja to attend the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu, whose All-Progressive Congress party has ruled Nigeria since 2015.

Yet in Immigration and Refugee Board filings, Canada called the party “an organization that engaged in subversion of democratic processes as they are understood in Canada” and said it was responsible for numerous acts of terrorism.

I wonder what scam Hussen and the Nigerians are plotting?

‘The height of irresponsible behaviour’

‘The height of irresponsible behaviour’ TTC investigating after fireworks set off inside buses in Scarborough

The TTC has launched an investigation after a video of a firework being set off inside one of its buses surfaced on social media Tuesday night and went viral.

The 22-second clip was posted shortly after 6 p.m. by 6ixBuzzTV with the caption “Meanwhile on the TTC…” CP24 has not independently confirmed the footage.

In it, a teenage boy or possibly a young man with dreads, seen in the video wearing runners, blue jeans, a black t-shirt with a blue image, a gray hoodie, and blue runners, carrying a camouflage-print backpack, appears to be smiling while lighting what looks like a blue and yellow firework with a lighter inside a packed bus.

Systemic racism is to blame.

Disney blasted for allowing mustachioed employee to wear dress, makeup, told little kid he was going to shop her around

A little less than magical.

Conservative critics are once again slamming Disney for shoving “woke” agendas down the throats of children — this time by allowing an apparently male employee to wear a costume dress and makeup.

A viral video — that’s racked up nearly 7 million views on TikTok — shows the mustachioed Fairy Godmother’s Apprentice welcoming a young girl at Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Anaheim, California.

“I’m here to shop you around and make all your selections for the day.”

 

Disney is a deviant freakshow.
