Don Martin: Gusher of Liberal spending won’t put out the fire in this dumpster

The goal of Budget 2024(opens in a new tab) was simple enough: Put out the raging fire in the dumpster this government has become.

Will it work before the election? Probably not.

A Hail Mary rehash of the greatest hits from the government’s three-week travelling pony-show, the budget takes aim at reversing the party’s popularity plunge in the under-40 set.

The shocking history of UFOs and nuclear weapons

J. Allen Hynek

UFOs are no laughing matter on Capitol Hill. Beyond alleging the existence of surreptitious government programs to retrieve and reverse-engineer exotic craft of “non-human” origin, Congress mandated that the Department of Defense document and report any UFO incidents “associated with military nuclear assets, including strategic nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered ships.”


Just out today Ross Coulthart addresses the persistent UAP issue at Langley air base with civilian video. Includes a good interview with former naval aviator and UAP witness Ryan Graves.

How World Wars Begin

Thucydides famously wrote that wars are produced by fear, honor, and interest.

The great historian Victor Davis Hanson titled his book on World War II The Second World Wars because the conflicts that evolved into that global war began as separate wars: Japan versus China; Italy versus Ethiopia; Japan versus Soviet Russia; Soviet Russia and Germany versus Poland; Soviet Russia versus Finland; England and France versus Germany; Italy versus France; Germany versus Soviet Russia; Japan versus the United States and England; and Germany and Italy versus the United States. Similarly, in 1912 fighting broke out in the Balkans; then Austria-Hungary went to war against Serbia; Germany declared war on Russia; Russia waged war on Austria-Hungary; Germany attacked Belgium and France, and England declared war on Germany. Later, Italy and the United States joined the war. Those conflicts also evolved into a global war waged on five continents, on the high seas, and in the air.

Bjorn Lomborg: Why solar and wind power aren’t winning

We are constantly being told that solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of electricity. Yet governments around the world felt they had to spend US$1.8 trillion on the green transition last year.

Wind and solar only produce power when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. When they are not, electricity from these sources is infinitely expensive and back-ups are needed. This is why fossil fuels still account for two-thirds of global electricity and why, on current trends, we are a century away from eliminating their use in electricity generation.

Toward a Jihadist Caliphate

On February 9, 2024, Imam Sheikh Abdul Salam Zoud at the Masjid As-Sunnah Lakemba in Sydney, Australia, made the following live-streamed pronouncement:

“There is no solution other than Jihad which continues until Judgement Day. The Prophet Muhammad, the Righteous Caliphs – none of them conquered the world by peaceful means. They conquered it through Jihad. The goal of Jihad for the sake of Allah is not to kill people and take over their lands. Rather, the goal of Jihad is to remove obstacles before the spreading and rule of Islam.”

GUNTER: Voters likely to see through budget’s attempts to win back affections

It’s clear the Liberal budget, brought down on Tuesday by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, is all about trying to get voters to love them again.

However, the highest-spending budget in Canadian history — one that dishes out some $ 37.1 billion in added goodies for several key voting groups — could easily put voters off the governing Liberals, rather than buying them love.
