Ford confirms Ontario election call, announces underground monorail to Bramladesh

Ontarians will go to the polls in February, Premier Doug Ford said Friday while announcing his government’s plan to improve transit in Peel Region.

Ford confirmed Global News’ Thursday reporting that sources said the premier would go to Lt. Gov. Edith Dumont on Jan. 29 to dissolve his government, which would allow for an election to take place on Feb. 27.

… During the morning news conference, Ford said he was planning to build a tunnel to extend the Hurontario LRT, also known as the Hazel McCallion Line, northwards from Mississauga and under downtown Brampton. The government said the extension to downtown Brampton is about four kilometres.

That underground Monorail is a great idea!

Muslim jailed for 30 years for Charlie Hebdo meat cleaver attack

A man has been jailed for 30 years for attempting to murder two people with a meat cleaver outside the former Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo in 2020.

Zaheer Mahmood, 29, from Pakistan, attacked and badly wounded two employees of the Premieres Lignes news agency, days after Charlie Hebdo had republished cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

He was unaware Charlie Hebdo had moved offices to a secret location after 12 people were killed there in a gun attack claimed by al-Qaeda following the original publication of the cartoons in 2015.

Carney losing credibility with carbon tax smokescreen

Canadians have a simple question for anyone who wants to be the next prime minister: Will you scrap the carbon tax?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated he would keep the carbon tax, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been clear he would “axe the tax.”

Liberal Party leadership hopefuls Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould have made their positions known. Now only Mark Carney seems unable to present a clear position on the carbon tax.

Sacklers Up Their Offer to Settle Purdue Opioids Cases, With a New Condition

Seven months after the Supreme Court struck down a deal that would have resolved thousands of opioid cases against Purdue Pharma, the company’s owners, members of the Sackler family, have increased their cash offer to settle the litigation — but with a novel catch.

Under the framework for a new deal, the Sacklers would not receive immunity from future opioid lawsuits, a condition that they had long insisted upon but that the court ruled was impermissible.

Mass murderers who will never see the inside of a jail cell.

Trudeau government seems intent on pushing ahead with 2035 EV mandates

OTTAWA — Canada remains steadfast in pushing ahead with its 2035 ban on internal combustion engines despite pressure from Canada’s auto industry and Donald Trump’s removal of the American EV mandates.

In a response to a question submitted to Environment Canada earlier this week on the status of Canada’s zero-emission vehicle mandates, a spokesperson implied the government has no interest in following suit with the United States.

In other words Liberals are looting the treasury.

LAFD Assistant Chief Kristina Kepner was accused of brutally assaulting ex-girlfriend… who claims boss Crowley ‘covered it up’ and promoted her

A senior official at the Los Angeles Fire Department made ‘homicidal and suicidal’ threats, strangled and chased her girlfriend with a carving knife, court documents claimed.

LAFD assistant chief Kristina ‘Kady’ Kepner then wrote a suicide note after cutting herself according to a 2021 domestic violence restraining order filed by the ex in a Los Angeles court.

During an argument at their home, the LAFD official allegedly ‘lunged’ at her ex and began strangling her, while saying that she was going to “f***ing kill” her, the November 17, 2021, court filing said.

Perhaps an economic union with the U.S. is not a bad idea after all

Canadians younger than 55 do not have a deep emotional attachment to Canada, according to an Angus Reid survey, and their attachment is conditional on the country providing a good standard of living. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (and Jean Chrétien before him) were maybe right to characterize Canada as a postnational state. Canadians may thus be willing to integrate with the U.S., as President Donald Trump has repeatedly mused, if they become convinced it would raise their quality of life.

No, Women Should Not Be in Combat

One of the outstanding moments from Pete Hegseth’s self-defense against the Democrat Party Deep State (DPDS) was his assertion that women are not suited for combat roles.

This writer has the luxury of being the only male civilian in a large military family (including both “Mom’s side” and “Dad’s side”), then marrying into another large military family.  Our reunions are at a small-town American Legion Hall, because we pretty much own the place.  Large, scary-looking hardware from World War II and Korea is parked out front.

Fate of $100 billion in Canadian EV projects in doubt as political landscape shifts

Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne didn’t hesitate when asked which policies he worries could be reversed by the next government.

He often recounts stories about his role in helping to attract around $100 billion in public and private investment for a dozen or so projects that could form the backbone of a domestic electric vehicle (EV) supply chain.

A looming disaster?

Was Axel Rudakubana really a lone wolf?

Is it really Jeff Bezos’s fault that Axel Rudakubana did what he did? The teenager was stopped on multiple occasions with a knife, including one he bought on Amazon, prompting a fresh round of silly headlines about new controls on knife sales. These have been widely denounced as deflection, and there is indeed something about the Rudakubana story that feels off. In particular, Keir Starmer’s insistence on the suspect’s lone-wolf status and pivot to “knife control” is driving a proliferation of conspiratorial thinking. But is there really a sinister cover-up?
