PQ wants robots rather than immigration to address manpower shortage

QUEBEC CITY — The Parti Québécois (PQ) is betting on robots to address a manpower shortage and replace temporary immigrants in the province’s fields and factories.

Presse Canadienne obtained the robotization and automation part of the PQ’s plan to reduce immigration on the eve of its presentation on Monday.

The plan has been expected for several months and is a response the lobby group the Century Initiative, which has been advocating for the increase of Canada’s population to 100 million through immigration.

Leading Islamic hate scholar Anjem Choudary lodges appeal against life sentence

Islamist hate preacher Anjem Choudary has lodged an appeal against his life sentence.

Choudary, 57, who police said had a “radicalising impact” on religious fundamentalists, was convicted in July after being found guilty of running a terrorist organisation.

He will spend more than 26 years in jail in total owing to the time he has already spent in custody, meaning he will not be released before the age of 85.

PBS Flouts Goldwater Rule, Invites Shrink to Diagnose Trump: ‘Ample Evidence’ of Dementia

PBS = TDS

PBS News anchor Amna Nawaz hosted clinical psychologist Ben Michaelis on Thursday’s PBS News Hour for a segment that felt very much like a violation of the psychiatric profession’s so-called Goldwater Rule.

Nawaz pounced on Trump’s long pause for music appreciation during a campaign appearance, after two medical emergencies in the crowd had halted proceedings, and another rambling anecdote involving a battery, a sinking boat, and a shark.

Michael Taube: The left is losing the battle for the bike — as it should

When Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government announced several changes designed to reduce gridlock on provincial roads and highways, I described it in a Post column as a strategy to “tackle the long-running war on the car.” It also led to a competing and far noisier narrative: the battle for the bike, courtesy of the political left.

Don’t expect Trudeau to follow in his father’s footsteps and take a walk in the snow this week

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dodged a bullet from his own party last week.

A document signed by 24 caucus members set out the reasons why they think he should resign. One surprise element in the document was the deadline for his decision.

He has been told in no uncertain terms that he must make his future known one way or the other by Monday, Oct. 28.

Deadliest Al Qaeda Attack You’ve Never Heard of: 600 Civilians Dead in Burkina Faso Fails To Make Global Headlines

In an attack that may rank as one of the deadliest in Africa in recent years, up to 600 civilians were slaughtered in August in broad daylight by Al Qaeda-linked militants in Burkina Faso, according to a French government security report and confirmed to The New York Sun by a representative of the Norwegian Refugee Council.

This assessment triples the original death toll estimate put out by the United Nations from the August massacre in the remote town of Barsalogho. Armed fighters from Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, an Al Qaeda affiliate based in Mali, opened fire as they stormed the town on motorcycles. Chilling videos shared on the terrorist group’s social media captured the moments of terror — civilians, including women and children, shot by automatic gunfire at close range as they lay helpless in the dirt, trying to play dead.

Poilievre promises to abolish federal sales tax on new homes under $1 million

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says if his party forms government, it will scrap the federal sales tax on new homes sold for less than $1 million and push provinces do to the same.

Poilievre makes the case for the cut in a six-minute video published online today, arguing governments are partly to blame for high home prices because they’re charging too much in sales taxes.

India’s plans to punish spitting in food spark controversy

This month, two states ruled by India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced plans to impose hefty fines and imprisonment for contaminating food with spit, urine and dirt.

The northern state of Uttarakhand will fine offenders up to 100,000 rupees ($1,190; £920), while neighbouring Uttar Pradesh is set to introduce stringent laws to address the issue.

The government directives followed the circulation of unverified videos on social media showing vendors spitting on food at local stalls and restaurants – and one video depicting a house-help mixing urine into food she was preparing.


This is why I do not trust any 3rd world staffed fast food joints, restaurants or delivery services in Canada any longer.

Trudeau and his corporate welfare pals like Tim Horton’s in their greed are unwittingly ruining the food services sector of the economy.

Trudeau should listen to the dissidents who want change. But there’s a reason why the message isn’t getting through

… It’s not an easy thing to stand in front of a party leader — a prime minister — and tell him he should resign. It’s not an easy thing when that prime minister doesn’t like criticism and surrounds himself with people who tend to protect him from advice he doesn’t want to hear. It’s not an easy thing when cabinet and parliamentary secretary positions — and the perks and future income potential that go along with them — are being dangled to colleagues. It’s not an easy thing when one’s nomination papers — to run as a Liberal in the next election — haven’t been signed.

And it is not an easy thing when there is no obvious plan B.

Racism is when white people hold ‘negative views’ of others, claims senior Labour adviser

Now showing more anti white bullshit

A key advisor in the Labour mission to make Wales “anti-racist” has claimed that racism is when “white people hold negative views” of other ethnicities.

The devolved government has pledged to make Wales anti-racist by 2030, and museums are now obliged to present the “right historic narrative” in their displays.

Taxpayer’s money will fund work which ensures the mandated narrative, and cash has gone to the “Re:Collections” project, which takes a leading role in this work by instructing Welsh museums on how to become “anti-racist organisations”.

Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever.

Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever.

When Donald Trump’s campaign announced plans for a rally at Madison Square Garden, Democrats and their media allies knew they had a problem. Trump was going to pack the house on their turf. So they wasted no time pushing the tired Hitler narrative and claimed that the choice of venue was an homage to a pro-Nazi rally held there in 1939.
