“The “climate change” movement is huge business; the billionaires pushing this scrofulous narrative have it all figured out. They have been investing in plant-based fake meat foodstuffs to reap the profits once the war on farmers has been won… If these highly processed foods are not healthy, too bad. The earnings will line the WEF elites’ pockets.”
The bankruptcy of a Volkswagen partner in electric vehicle battery production will not threaten the automaker’s St. Thomas investment, industry experts say.
The development does, however, demonstrate increasing volatility in the EV sector during this high-tariff automotive environment, and the $7-billion PowerCo EV battery plant in Southwestern Ontario may face future delays, they said.

Joe Biden’s aides discussed the prospect of him needing a wheelchair if he were re-elected as president, according to claims in a bombshell new book.
The 82-year-old had grown so frail in 2023 and 2024 that aides are said to have spoken privately about whether he would need assistance to stay upright.
International students filed a record 20,245 asylum claims last year, with 2025 on track to surpass that number, according to federal immigration data obtained by Global News.
The claims are rising, even as Ottawa cuts the number of study permits it issues, with Prime Minister Mark Carney pledging like his predecessor Justin Trudeau to return Canadian immigration to “sustainable levels.”
There’s seemingly nothing that President Trump could do that would get the approval of the eternal haters on ABC’s The View, even when it was the exact same thing their side of the political isle was trying to do. During their Tuesday show, the liberal ladies were up in arms and raging at Trump for wanting to lower the cost of prescription drugs in America, and were not dissuaded even after learning that progressives on the left wanted to enact the same plan.
Seven months after federal RCMP officers raided Canada’s biggest and most sophisticated meth and fentanyl lab, only one person has been charged: a 32-year-old whose only previous conviction was for lower-level drug dealing near Vancouver.
The bust of the so-called “superlab” occurred last October, just weeks before U.S. President Donald Trump was re-elected and started making false claims about Canadian fentanyl “pouring” into his country, part of his pretext for the tariffs that have ignited a trade war. The discovery of the lab in British Columbia’s rural Shuswap region made headlines in major U.S. media.
In yet another rant from Ireland, Rosie O’Donnell took to her TikTok account to accuse President Donald Trump of cheating during the election, said she hopes that the names of ICE agents are revealed, and said she has to take drugs to get to sleep.
O’Donnell variously claimed Trump cheated during the 2024 election, hoped that activists could out federal immigration agents, and even falsely claimed that Trump is violating the U.S. Constitution — the “molluments clause,” as she put it — by taking a plane from Qatar, not to mention her discussion of some of the drugs she is on.
NEW: Rosie O’Donnell confirms she has fled the United States for Ireland following the election of Donald Trump.
The 62-year-old says she left and dragged her 12-year-old daughter with her because not all Americans have equal rights now.

A new chart from the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, based on the Canadian Food Sentiment Index, offers a nuanced look at the evolution of Canadian dietary habits. While some observers may see a decline in omnivorous eating as a sign that Canada is becoming a plant-based nation, the data suggests a more fragmented and pragmatic shift in consumer behaviour.
The Pentagon is halting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender troops as it takes steps to remove them from the US armed forces.
“I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance,” Stephen Ferrara, the acting assistant secretary of defence for health affairs, said in a memo.
The Defence Health Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
President Trump said American businesses would “walk away with a lot of cheques” as he visited Saudi Arabia on Tuesday as part of a tour of the Middle East.
Among the deals already signed is “the largest defence sales agreement in history” worth $142 billion, the White House said. It includes providing Saudi Arabia with “state-of-the-art warfighting equipment and services from over a dozen US defence firms”.
Elections Canada says it is investigating after a voter in a Quebec riding came forward with an envelope that had been returned to sender.
Inside was a vote for the Bloc Québécois in the Terrebonne riding, where, as it stands, incoming Liberal MP Tatiana Auguste was declared the winner by one vote after several recounts.
Elections Canada said the return address printed on this elector’s return envelope was incorrect — specifically, part of the postal code.

I expect that the BQ will contest the Terrebonne election, and the Terrebonne election will be annulled, leading to a by-election.

The trial of American music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is accused of running a sprawling sex trafficking operation, has heard opening statements.
The 55-year-old was arrested last September and faces charges including racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted.
Mr Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him.
In the face of U.S. tariffs, Honda said on Monday that it would shift production of one of its popular vehicles from Ontario to a U.S. factory and postpone an $11 billion plan to make electric vehicles and batteries in Canada.
The announcement came less than a month after Honda denied a report in the Japanese media that President Trump’s tariffs would force it to pull back in Canada.
