Trudeau says NDP turning its back on workers by stalling $250 rebate cheques

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the NDP is turning its back on workers by holding up a promised $250 rebate the Liberals promised to send to millions of Canadians.

Last week, Trudeau announced a multi-billion-dollar affordability package that includes a proposed two-month GST holiday on some goods and services — including children’s toys, beer and wine and restaurant meals — and a plan to send $250 cheques to the 18.7 million people in Canada who worked in 2023 and earned $150,000 or less.

HUNTER: Will Trudeau be able to shake soft-on-crime ‘stench’?

Famed political operative James Carville described the perception the Democratic Party was soft on crime as a “stench” it couldn’t shake.

For good measure, Carville added that “defund the police” were the “three stupidest words in the English language.”

“It’s like when you get smoke on your clothes and you have to wash them again and again,” Carville told The Hill. “Now people are running away from it like the devil runs away from holy water.”

How Corporations Rob Americans Of The Joys Of Fixing Their Own Property

At the heart of the Right to Repair movement is human agency — the agency to use your property as you see fit.

Irecently built a coffee table. This was my first foray into woodworking, so the table is far from perfect — with slight asymmetries and an uneven finish. A level would tell me it misses the mark of an IKEA table’s engineered flatness. But if you’ve ever built something with your hands as a hobbyist, you would know my reaction looking at this table in satisfactory triumph — “Who cares?”

Dairy cows given synthetic additive in feed to hit net zero

Europe’s biggest dairy company is facing a backlash after giving cows a synthetic additive to their feed in an attempt to cut their methane emissions.

Arla, which makes brands including Lurpak butter and Cravendale milk, said it was working with Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi to trial giving cows the additive Bovaer.

Thirty of Arla’s 9,000 farmers will test how the additives can be introduced into normal feeding routines, with the aim of then rolling Bovaer out more broadly.

John Kerry hits the circuit to campaign for an official ‘climate emergency’

John Kerry Ass Faced Hypocrite

John Kerry and other green pushers are out there every day trying to scare people into capitulation to give up their quality of life.

In the following article, he warns of a “climate emergency,” but then magically transitions the conversation to deaths from air pollution instead of talking about deaths from warming or storms, which he (and so many others) often claim are an existential threat.

Joe Rogan eviscerated The View host Joy Behar for claiming he can’t be trusted

Joe Rogan eviscerated The View host Joy Behar for claiming he can’t be trusted, suggesting her criticism stems from concerns over job security.

In a Thanksgiving episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan, joined by comedians Mark Normand, Shane Gillis, and Ari Shaffir, addressed Behar’s remarks, where she claimed he ‘believed in dragons.’

‘I had to read the thing about The View because I just thought it was funny. Joy Behar was trying to say I believe in dragons! She said, ‘I checked it, I checked it!’ And then the lady goes, ‘Did you double check it,’ and she goes, ‘I checked it, he believes in dragons. They lived alongside people,” Rogan said in the podcast clip in between chuckles.

This is a truly dark day for our nation

Our political class has just sanctioned death for the ‘worthless’.

For me, the grimmest thing about today’s ‘assisted dying’ debate in the House of Commons was when MPs emitted an audible groan upon hearing about Canada’s state-sanctioned killing of the wretched. It was the Conservative MP Danny Kruger who had the temerity to mention these unfortunates put to death by their own government. He referred to ‘medics’ in Canada, who are ‘specialists in assisted death’, who ‘personally kill hundreds of patients a year’. A collective whine shook the chamber as MPs were confronted with the truth of what they were voting for: the right of state-approved bodies to slay certain members of the public. ‘If honourable members have a difficulty with the language’, Kruger shot back, ‘then I wonder what they’re doing here’.

Canada can’t support influx of migrants fleeing Trump, must prevent border crossings, says former top aide

Canada needs to significantly strengthen its border, says a former chief of staff to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, because it can’t absorb large numbers of migrants who could flee here to evade U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s pledge of mass deportations.

Peter Wilkinson, who recently spent 21 months as Ms. Joly’s top lieutenant and previously served as chief of staff to former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty, said Canadians should be deeply concerned about Mr. Trump’s plan to deport up to 11 million undocumented migrants after he takes office in January.

Tories to Table New Non-Confidence Motion That Quotes NDP’s Criticism of Liberal Government

The Conservatives plan to table a new non-confidence motion to oust the government, this time based on critical statements NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has made about the Liberals.

“I agree with Jagmeet Singh that the Trudeau government is ‘greedy’ and ‘anti-worker.’ Now, Jagmeet Singh will have a chance to vote for a non-confidence motion made up entirely of his own words,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on social media platform X on Nov. 29.
