Elon Musk says his company SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink would be able to provide coverage to Canadian households for “less than half” the cost of a recently announced multibillion-dollar government loan to Montreal-based satellite operator Telesat to provide that service.
Musk was responding to Conservative MP Michael Barrett, who in a Sept. 14 post on X challenged the government investment. The funding consists of a combined $2.54 billion loan to Telesat, consisting of $2.14 billion from Ottawa and $400 million from the Quebec government.
Oh Oh! Someone’s place at the trough is threatened!
Liberal minister dismisses Elon Musk’s satellite offer to Canada as ‘nonsense’
ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trudeau government says it won’t delay possible confidence votes as Poilievre’s Conservatives hanker for election
OTTAWA—The Liberal government says it will not use delay tactics to avoid a parliamentary vote that could trigger an election this fall as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre goaded other opposition party leaders to help him immediately topple the Trudeau government.
House Leader Karina Gould said the government does not intend to play games to stave off until late fall any “non-confidence” motion the Opposition parties might bring forward nor does it intend to formally suspend, or prorogue, Parliament in order to buy time.
What do Napoleon, America’s Army War College and the liberal media have in common? The centuries-old belief that conscription is the “vitality of the nation”. With the US military hamstrung by a catastrophic personnel problem, the “draft” is being handed a new lease of life. Maybe, murmurs the DC think-tank circuit, conscription could provide America with the proverbial shot in the arm it needs: polarised internally and beset by a multitude of external challenges, the expedient of compelling young Americans to pick up rifles in service to their nation could kill two birds with one stone.
WATCH: MSNBC's Alex Witt argues *the Trump campaign* needs to turn down the rhetoric now that Donald Trump has been shot at for the second time in three months.
"Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to [tone it down]?"
OTTAWA — A pair of byelections on Monday are poised to serve as a referendum on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — and his chief opposition leaders.
One will see the Liberals fighting to spare a Montreal fortress from the fate that befell Toronto—St. Paul’s: a surprise byelection loss in a longtime stronghold.
In LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, Trudeau’s embattled party is fending off strong campaigns from the New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois in a race that will test whether voters will turn to the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh following his achievements under his now-lapsed alliance with the minority Liberals.
This is the second time Donald Trump has been targeted in an assassination attempt in the space of two months as the race for the White House enters its final stages.
The Trump campaign wasted little time in sending out an email to supporters on Sunday, asking backers for more money, but whether the latest incident leads to a change in his electoral chances remains doubtful.
Kamala Harris openly joked about assassinating President Trump in 2018 as an audience of lobotomized clapping seals cheered
Just two months after the failed Trump assassination attempt of one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed today yet another foiled one by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict.…
An Ontario school board will be audited by the province after spending nearly $40,000 on a three-day retreat.
Ontario Minister of Education Jill Dunlop announced the audit on Sept. 13, which will look into the Thames Valley District School Board’s (TVDSB) financial operations, the executive members’ compensation, and the administration of the board.
Dunlop noted that the board is operating in a deficit, and said provincial funding to school boards should go to help students and teachers. She added that the boards should show “parents, teachers and community members that they are responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
Politicians, bureaucrats no longer have a sense of shame. It’s just play money to them.
Ryan Wesley Routh – Batshit Crazy Leftist Wannabe Trump Assassin
The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump’s Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.
Routh’s son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday’s shooting, said this was the first he’d heard of the alleged assassination attempt.
‘This was the first I heard about it,’ the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘Was my father shot or injured?’
Who is Ryan Wesley Routh? Donald Trump assassination attempt suspect voted for the former president before wishing he was ‘gone’, donated to Democrats and fought in Ukraine
The man who allegedly planned to assassinate Donald Trump went from voting for him in 2016 to donating to Democrats in 2020, to four years later calling him a ‘threat to democracy’ and claiming he’d ‘be glad when’ Trump’s gone.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is in custody after aiming an AK-47 rifle barrel towards Trump when he was golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday. He is expected to be charged overnight.
2.5 minutes of Democrats explicitly calling for using political vioIence.
Trump assassination attempt sparks chilling theory into how out-of-state gunman knew about former president’s last-minute golf game
There are fears would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh had help from the inside to target the former president at his Florida golf club Sunday.
The alleged gunman has been identified as registered Democrat Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was found unarmed after fleeing the scene, leaving behind a backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle. He is now in custody.
Trump’s game was not publicly known about as it was a last-minute decision and his schedule is not provided to the press, sparking curiosity as to how Routh knew Trump would be on the greens.
NEW: Suspected would-be Trump assas*in was previously interviewed by Newsweek Romania, started crying during the interview as he begged people to "come fight."
Ryan Routh was arrested after an assas*ination attempt on Donald Trump.
A degree of skepticism and mistrust of governments is a good thing. No elected officials or bureaucrats should get a pass or be gifted with blind trust. Government actions often don’t have the wellbeing of citizens at heart and the state should always be viewed with a skeptical eye.
All that said, a degree of trust in governments is essential for a democracy to function. People must have a little faith and be willing to cooperate with the government at times. When the balance has been thrown off and healthy skepticism of the government has morphed into cynicism, things can go bad quickly.
For those on both sides of the political spectrum who would push children to further their own agendas, Greta’s iconic question rings clear: How dare you?
Recently, Greta Thunberg was arrested at a protest outside the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. This was not Thunberg’s first run-in with the law; the first time she was detained was during a protest against the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. Ironically, Germany would hardly need to expand the use of coal were it not for the country’s rejection of nuclear power, something Greta herself belatedly admitted.
The Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has repeated its demand that Israel withdraw completely from the Gaza Strip in order to reach a ceasefire-hostage agreement with Israel. Hamas, in other words, is demanding that Israel lose the war so that the terrorist group can regroup, rearm and prepare for more attacks on Israel like the one it launched on October 7, 2023. In that assault, 1,200 Israelis were murdered, with many raped, tortured and burned alive. Another 240 Israelis were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, where 101 are still being held as hostages, many of them already murdered (see here and here).
In a statement issued on September 12, Hamas said that its representatives informed Egyptian and Qatari mediators of their “positivity and flexibility to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, according to which the Israeli occupation army would withdraw from the entire territory of the Gaza Strip in a way that achieves the interests of the Palestinians and paves the way for a prisoner exchange deal.”
I should say nothing lasts very long anymore. Liberals used to disdain the concept of ‘planned obsolescence,’ yet they say not a word about the increasing short lives of appliances and other items. Their own policies, supposedly designed to reduce carbon emissions and conserve energy and water, are part of the problem.
Those of you who are old enough to have had appliances from Whirlpool, Maytag, et al. in the distant past and have recently purchased new ones will know of what I speak.
To see how debased ‘progressives’ have become, behold Robin DiAngelo stumping up 30 bucks in ‘reparations’ to an African-American gent. It happens in Matt Walsh’s new film, Am I Racist?, a Borat-style mockumentary that sends up race grifters. Walsh interviews DiAngelo while disguised as a self-hating hipster cracker: ponytail, cheap specs, lame blazer. He brings on his producer, Ben, a man of ethnic-minority heritage. He offers Ben cash, as a small gesture of white regret for the ‘400 years of oppression’ Ben’s people have experienced in America. He invites Ms DiAngelo to do likewise. She’s reluctant, but she does it – she skulks over to her purse, fishes out 30 dollars, and hands it to the black man. ‘That’s all the cash I have’, she says, in pained tones.
