The infighting within the Liberal Party is spilling out into the public just as the party released a new attack ad claiming they will look after your family. If they can’t look after their own family affairs, why should we believe they can look after the rest of us?
Another Christmas and the politics of Europe are once again roiled by one of the Continent’s newest traditions: the Christmas market terrorist attack.
Last Friday’s attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg was carried out by a Saudi-born asylum seeker. In 2016 it was a Tunisian migrant who carried out a similarly horrific attack in Berlin. It is one of the reasons why for the past 10 years these once innocent family events are surrounded by police and very often by what locals sometimes cynically call “diversity bollards”. In a macabre twist, in August this year a Syrian Islamist murdered three people and stabbed eight more at a Festival of Diversity in Solingen.
Advocates calling for return to electric vehicle rebate in Ontario
The city of Toronto has an ambitious goal: by 2030, it wants 30 per cent of all vehicles on the road to be electric. But currently, that number is only between three and four per cent.
So what’s the hold up?
Canadian drivers’ main concerns about electric vehicles include up front purchase price, repairs and maintenance, battery replacement and a lack of charging stations, according to the EY Mobility Consumer Index report released this year.
A new electric vehicle in Canada costs an average of $67,920 — which is about $6,400 more than the average for all new vehicles across the market, according to car valuation service Canadian Black Book
Ryan Wilcox peered through his binoculars as a gunman fired at a large piece of glass propped up at a shooting range in the foothills of Utah’s Wasatch mountains.
Wilcox, a Republican state lawmaker charged with securing Utah’s schools, was eager to see if a polyester-based film, thinner than a credit card and applied to glass windows and doors, might answer a desperate nationwide query: How can schools stop attackers from shooting their way in?
National finances under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have tanked, and many residents likely don’t know just how broke they are.
Canadians now pay around $75 million per day in interest on the national debt.
Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has continually referred to Canada as the 51st state while calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “governor” since their meeting at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Nov. 29.
“Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!” Trump wrote on social media on Dec. 18, one of his latest comments repeating the taunt.
Last week, as we covered here, the Biden Justice Department filed a death-penalty charge against Luigi Mangione, the alleged cold-blooded killer of health insurance executive Brian Thompson. Mangione was already facing state murder charges for the murder committed on a Manhattan street. The only reason to pile on a capital charge — for an administration that both says it philosophically opposes the death penalty and has imposed a moratorium on executions since President Biden entered office in January 2021 — was to grab headlines in a case that had riveted public attention.
If you are a political junkie, Cenk Uygur is big news these days. Uygur is a left-wing media commentator and host/creator of the popular online multimedia outlet “The Young Turks.” He recently was a guest speaker at “AmericaFest,” the annual meeting of Charlie Kirk’s right-wing political nonprofit, Turning Point USA.
The almost exclusively Republican AmericaFest crowd gave Uygur a standing ovation. Uygur’s appearance resulted in vitriol from both sides of the political aisle, with some right-wing pundits accusing MAGA of becoming a “left-wing movement” and a certain semi-coherent left-wing former sportscaster labeling Uygur, a seeming traitor to leftism, as a “gullible” “crank.”
Two former Israeli intelligence agents have revealed how members of the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah used Israeli made walkie-talkies booby-trapped with explosives for 10 years before they were detonated in a surprise attack in September this year.
The two ex-Mossad agents told US CBS News how the service duped Hezbollah into buying thousands of rigged walkie-talkies and pagers without realising they were made in Israel.
Dozens of people were killed and thousands injured in the attacks. Israel said it was tailored to target only Hezbollah members, but civilians were among victims, Lebanese officials said.
Does the radical left have anything better to do with its ample time than to champion the accused killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was gunned down two weeks ago in broad daylight in Manhattan?
At some yet to be determined point in the last 4 years, the President of the United States became mentally incompetent.
Rather than admit that and allow his vice president to step in, cover-up began in which White House staffers and advisers began carrying out actions in his name. The charade continued until a disastrous debate performance led the party to dump Biden on the grounds of mental competency even while leaving his in charge of the country. Despite an electoral trashing, the figures behind the administration have continued operating in his name and in their final weeks in power have engaged in a dramatic effort to stymie the incoming administration, to set new precedents and to transform America.
Imagine for a moment that there is nothing of worth in this world, as worth has no intrinsic meaning. Each human, like each worm or bacterium, is simply a product of chemical reactions occurring over millennia – biological mass. Eventually, inevitably, they end up replicating certain patterns, as almost any alternate configuration decays its structure, returning it to a chemical soup. Movement of charged particles between some cells results in contraction of others, or avoidance of nearby objects once in motion, or a state within our neurons that increases potential to preserve the pattern and replicate it. At its complex level in humans, we term this ‘thought’.
Engineers working for the parent company of Jaguar Land Rover were locked in a Vietnamese factory in a rush to get an “unsafe” car to market, whistleblowers have told The Times.
One worker, who claimed he was sacked by Jaguar Land Rover after raising concerns about the electric cars, said he feared the vehicles had “critical” safety faults.
Germans are not willing to tolerate these attacks becoming ‘normal’.
Germany is still reeling from the deadly attack on a Christmas market on Friday evening. A black BMW was driven into a crowd of market-goers in the city of Magdeburg, leaving at least five people dead and over 40 critically injured. The alleged perpetrator, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, was arrested at the scene. He is a 50-year-old psychiatrist who came to Germany in 2006 and was granted refugee status in 2016.
A formal petition to dissolve Parliament was submitted last week by Conservative MP Michelle Ferreri.
The petition, filed by the Peterborough—Kawartha representative, outlines multiple grievances against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, including a deepening cost-of-living crisis and federal debt servicing charges exceeding $40 billion annually. According to the document, current debt levels surpass the combined debt of all previous Canadian governments.
