Canadian MPs among social media users pivoting from X to Bluesky in the wake of U.S. vote

New Democrat MP Charlie Angus decided he had enough.

“I have tried three times to get off X because it is a dismal, toxic, hole of disinformation,” said Angus, who used to regularly post to his 47,200 followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“After seeing what went down with the Trump election, the belligerent role of Elon Musk in undermining democracy, there is no way that I can be part of that.”

They want to be free of scrutiny.

This Battery Startup Raised $15 Billion. Then It Went Bust.

Northvolt was one of the world’s most valuable battery startups. Now it has run out of charge.

Over the past week, the Swedish company filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. and said its co-founder was stepping down as chief executive, after a turbulent year of production problems and job cuts.

The move marks a stark change in fortunes for a company that was once vaunted as Europe’s best hope for competing with China’s dominant battery makers. Northvolt’s collapse also underscores the difficulty Western companies face in establishing a foothold in the industry.

More on Those ‘Pro-Hamas Terror Mobs’ In Montreal

Not Richler’s St -Urbain St.

Three people were arrested after pro-Palestinian, anti-NATO protesters smashed windows, clashed with police officers, and set vehicles ablaze on Friday evening.

The protest coincided with the arrival of approximately 300 delegates from NATO member states and partner countries attending a high-level summit, running from Nov. 22 to 25 in Montreal, focused on Ukraine, climate change, and the alliance’s future. The protest also came as the second day of the wave of student-wide pro-Palestinian protests across Montreal.

Energy ‘corruption’ leaves Ukrainians facing a deadly freeze

At a secret location outside Kyiv, the brigadier watched as explosions hammered the concrete structure that his team of ten British military engineers, intelligence officers and diplomats had clandestinely helped to create.

The rocket test, described by sources to The Sunday Times, was the culmination of months of hard work, under the constant threat of Russian airstrikes. When it finished in February, the British engineers, alongside teams from America, Germany and Japan, advised their Ukrainian colleagues that they should build the structures to protect Ukraine’s energy grid from Russian attack.

John Ivison: Another wake-up call to ready for war as Canada slumbers on

On the day that Vladimir Putin said NATO members are now directly involved in the war in Ukraine because they have supplied missiles being used to bomb Russia, Justin Trudeau was announcing a yuletide $6.3-billion GST holiday on Christmas trees, beer and popcorn.

Canada, remember, is the country that can’t afford to hit its NATO spending target of two per cent of GDP for another eight years.


Unfortunately there really isn’t anything that we citizens can do to force Trudeau out short of violence.

I would suggest a general strike but that would just give our Captains of industry cause to replace everyone with Justin’s 3rd World replacement Canadians.

Our Tranny forces aren’t much use to anyone any how.

Boissonnault debacle feeds into pattern of ethical lapses in government, deepens Liberal woes, say observers

Former employment minister Randy Boissonnault’s resignation has ignited a political firestorm amid allegations his former company claimed Indigenous status to secure federal contracts, sparking outrage from Indigenous advocates and opposition MPs. The debacle further damages the Liberals’ credibility at a time when they already face bleak public opinion polls, say observers.

“If I were he, and the polling were already so bad for my party, I probably would have left much sooner in an effort to not damage the party,” former Conservative staffer Yaroslav Baran told The Hill Times.

Barbara Kay: Trump, make the military manly again

Withdrawal of approval by President-elect Donald Trump from his choice for Secretary of the Department of Defence (DoD), Pete Hegseth, is apparently becoming a real possibility, because of Hegseth’s failure, now a serious distraction, to disclose a 2017 claim of sexual misconduct to Trump’s transition team.

On the one hand, Hegseth’s removal from contention would be no great loss, since he is widely regarded as lacking the necessary experience and political capital to oversee the mammoth Pentagon’s three million employees and $800 billion budget.

There Will Be No Reckoning by the Media-Pundit Industrial Complex

Allan Lichtman’s weekslong on-air meltdown, refusing to admit his election prediction was wrong, is a symbol of the times.

A funny thing happened this week.
