National governments are in gradual retreat from their “hard promises” to wean their economies off fossil fuels, according to a new report. Since the 2010s the failures of green technologies to become economically viable have prompted nations to dilute or postpone established environmental targets, says British journalist Ross Clark in “The Retreat from Net Zero,” commissioned by research group Net Zero Watch.
In a dilapidated farm shed in New York’s rural North Country, the belongings of a migrant family who quietly took shelter one night were still visible months later: some clothing and children’s shoes, stiffened by the cold and a thin blanket of snow.
Thomas Brassard recalled his surprise when he saw the family — a husband, wife and two children — emerge from the shed as he started his truck in the early morning.

There’s no sign that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s sharper attacks against the Conservatives have shifted public sentiment in his favour a month into 2024, and things are getting worse for the Liberals on some metrics, according to new polling.
The Nanos Research data, released Monday and conducted for The Globe and Mail, shows Mr. Trudeau isn’t faring well among voters’ perceptions. He doesn’t enjoy the typical advantage of a sitting Prime Minister in managing U.S. relations. Closer to home, views on his performance as Liberal leader have slipped, and only a tiny fraction of Canadians believe the best thing for the party would be for him to stay on.
Remember that time the federal government tried to become an app developer?
On Monday, Auditor General Karen Hogan issued a scathing report on the federal government’s ArriveCAN app, which highlights the folly of a country that devalues entrepreneurship and relies instead on top-down government initiatives — and of a governing party whose only real skill is spending taxpayer dollars with reckless abandon.

TORONTO – Drivers may see higher premiums for their electric vehicles as the insurance industry adjusts to the shift from gas-powered cars to electric alternatives, a new report suggests.
The price tag of EVs and higher costs for repairs are likely to be key factors that could drive Canadian auto insurance higher in the coming years, similar to a trend seen in the U.K., the report published by Morningstar DBRS on Monday shows.

Anti-Israel protests have brought to the fore a leftist white contingent that would please both Hitler and Stalin.
On Jan. 25, Temple Emanu-El in New York City held a memorial service for Henry Kissinger. This was unacceptable to leftist millennials. Hundreds gathered across the street to cheer on the diplomat’s death, holding signs that read “F*** Kissinger” and “Death to U.S. Imperialism.”
But that wasn’t enough for a group of white millennials. Six surrounded an elderly couple as they were leaving the service, shouting: “You’ll burn in hell forever!” “You f***in’ piece of s***!” “We will burn your homes too!” The leader of the pack, a tall redhead, mocked the couple and threw water in their faces.
They dropped objectivity and with it credibility
The Pew Research Center reported on November 10, “Newspapers are a critical part of the American news landscape, but they have been hit hard as more and more Americans consume news digitally. The industry’s financial fortunes and subscriber base have been in decline since the mid-2000s, and their website audience traffic has begun to decline as well.”
People who live in Canadian cities that have high rates of hate crimes(opens in a new tab) were less likely to report positive physical and mental health compared with those in other parts of the country, according to Statistics Canada.
In a recent study released Thursday, Statistics Canada said it found that fewer Canadians (46 per cent) in these areas that saw more hate crimes reported “excellent or very good mental health” compared with those living in other parts of the country (50 per cent).
It defined a hate crime as “a criminal violation motivated by hate.”
Crappy article that fails to offer stats on the actual number or ethnic/religious background of victims.
Typically the Jewish faith leads the hate crime hit parade by a wide margin. Someone likely figured that fact to be “controversial” and left identifying data out lest they offend their Hamas supporting viewers.
Recall that reporting on the latest available national hate crime stats deliberately avoided mentioning that crimes against Christians soared thanks to the Liberal party unleashing a wave of Fake Grave Hysteria resulting in arsons and vandalism against over a hundred churches.
Just imagine if this wasn’t a church (or even a synagogue). Every single Liberal politician from A to Trudeau would be out clutching their pearls and yammering on about hate and phobia to try to get votes.
But because it’s a church? Absolute crickets from all of them. https://t.co/b8VdSScNXH

Robert F Kennedy Jr has apologised to relatives after a Super Bowl advert mirrored one broadcast by his uncle John F Kennedy’s campaign in 1960.
Mr Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist, is running for president as an independent.
The ad aired just before the Super Bowl halftime on Sunday.
Since the beginning of the current war in the Gaza Strip, a growing number of Palestinians and Arabs have been speaking out against the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group, whose members committed the October 7 massacre against Israelis. On that day, more than 1,200 Israelis were murdered, raped, mutilated, tortured and burned alive, while another 240 were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip, where more than half are still held hostage by Hamas terrorists.
New York Times opinion writer Ross Douthat called for President Joe Biden to step down, citing the 81-year-old’s “decline” in a surprise Saturday op-ed.
“Joe Biden should not be running for re-election,” Douthat wrote. “Saying that things have worked OK throughout this stage of Biden’s decline, though, is very different from betting that they can continue working out OK for almost five long further years.”
Universities, our supposed bastions of knowledge and enlightenment, have become breeding grounds of anti-Jewish hate. Sadly, the problem has existed for many years, but it’s taken on an alarming new dimension in recent months as Jewish students face increased hostility on campus. This has included tacit endorsements of Hamas and its atrocities in Israel on Oct. 7, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
