YouTube blocks promotion of ‘Why Canada Must Support Israel’ video saying it ‘incites hatred’: Aristotle Foundation

A video advocating for Canadians to support Israel in the war against Hamas was flagged for inciting hatred on YouTube and blocked from paid promotion, the creators say.

The 18-minute video, created by the Aristotle Foundation, outlines landmark events in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and accuses Canadians of understanding the situation “exactly backwards.”

Are the drones lighting up US bases in England something sinister?

Airspace around US airbases in Norfolk and Suffolk has been under scrutiny following multiple recent drone incursions. Those responsible for the aircraft have yet to be found and nearby residents have questioned how and why the incidents have been allowed to happen.

Drone incursions were initially reported at three US airbases – RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk – between 20 and 22 November, and the aircraft has since reappeared.

In the village of Beck Row, Suffolk, which is situated next to RAF Mildenhall, residents reported brightly lit aerial vehicles hovering above their houses and over the base itself.

The drip drip drip of disclosure? Or just interesting US Tech being field tested?

Everyone agrees Canada should spend more on defence. How do we pay for it?

If there’s one thing Canada’s premiers have always agreed on, it’s that the federal government needs to respect provincial jurisdiction.

If there’s a second thing they now agree on, it’s that (notwithstanding their belief that governments should mind their own business) the federal government should spend substantially more on national defence — not least because doing so might appease the incoming president of the United States.

“He wants us to meet our 2 per cent NATO spending commitment,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in an interview with the CBC’s Power & Politics on Tuesday, referring to Donald Trump.

Bill Clinton makes stunning confession about his bizarre behavior after Hillary’s defeat in America’s ‘darkest election’

President Bill Clinton was so enraged by the treatment of his wife, Hillary, during her failed presidential bid that he couldn’t sleep for two years, he now admits – or stop complaining about the shock defeat.

Writing in his new memoir, an emotional Clinton issues an apology to all those who found him hard going in the years following the 2016 contest, won by Donald Trump, which he describes as ‘the darkest election possible in the United States’.

Clinton, president from 1993-2001, still blames Hillary’s defeat on a toxic combination of Russian propaganda, an unprecedented investigation into her use of emails by James Comey, then director of the FBI, and a supine political press which, he says, took more interest in the email controversy than the merits of the candidates.

Trump won’t negotiate with a Prime Minister he sees as a loser-in-waiting. We need an election

It is well known that incoming U.S. president Donald Trump has an affinity for people he perceives as powerful. He likes reckless warmongers like Russian President Vladimir Putin and vile dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. His cabinet picks include Tesla chief executive and richest man in the world Elon Musk; celebrities like TV doctor Mehmet Oz and Fox News host Pete Hegseth; and no-nonsense tough guys like Tom Homan, who Mr. Trump selected to be his “border czar.”

The EV revolution is crumbling

For over a century, there has been an anticipation that electric vehicles will replace internal combustion engines (ICE) and push them into obsolescence. Because the free market failed to deliver this result, in recent decades governments around the globe have been aggressively pushing for the adoption of EVs, including subsidies and — for now — legally-binding phase-outs of non-zero-emission cars. Alas, none of this appears to have had the desired effect: while global EV sales continue to grow, the pace is slowing down. According to Bloomberg’s Net Zero scenario, to accomplish a fully zero-emission vehicle fleet by 2050 it would be necessary to cease the sales of combustion engine vehicles by approximately 2038.

Inside Justin Trudeau’s surprise dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a handful of his top advisers flew to Florida to dine with president-elect Donald Trump and members of his team Friday night.

On the menu: meat loaf and a range of meaty matters, including some of the most contentious Canada-U.S. issues that have gone unresolved for years.

At the end of the surprise summit, there was no indication that Trump would drop his threat to impose a massive 25-per cent surcharge on Canadian products, announced by Trump on social media Monday — a threat that, if executed, would have a devastating impact on Canadian energy, auto and manufacturing exports.

I had hoped President Trump would have had them arrested and deported to Cuba.

Spain’s Left-wing government approves four days of ‘paid climate leave’ per year

Spain’s Left-wing government has introduced paid climate leave after flash flooding in Valencia last month claimed at least 222 lives and caused widespread devastation.

The new scheme will allow workers to take four days off work per year on full pay in the event of extreme weather-related events.

Yolanda Díaz, Spain’s deputy prime minister and labour minister, said the aim of the reform was to provide “clarity” for businesses and workers on what to do in climate-related events.

Adam Zivo: New study shows a quarter of safer supply patients diverting opioids

A new Vancouver-based study suggests that many “safer supply” patients are diverting their taxpayer-funded opioids to the black market and are possibly being dishonest to researchers about defrauding the system . Worse yet, it appears that safer supply may not be as effective at separating addicts from street drugs as advocates claim, even though the entire point of the program, as described by Health Canada , is to provide “a safer alternative to the toxic illegal drug supply”
