Feds to appeal court ruling that struck down cabinet order labelling plastics toxic

OTTAWA – Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the federal government will appeal a recent Federal Court ruling that struck down a cabinet order underlying Ottawa’s ban of some single-use plastics.

The decision on Nov. 16 said Ottawa had overstepped by labelling all “plastic manufactured items” as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.

China decries Canada’s ‘hypocrisy’ after Spavor blames Kovrig for their detention

Beijing has defended its prosecution of two Canadians for espionage, after The Globe and Mail reported that Michael Spavor blames intelligence work done by Michael Kovrig for their nearly three-year-long detention.

Mr. Spavor is seeking a multimillion-dollar settlement from Ottawa, two sources told The Globe, alleging he was arrested in China in late 2018 because he unwittingly provided intelligence on North Korea to Mr. Kovrig, which was later shared with Canada and allied spy services.

A look inside Right Side Broadcasting Network

In the 2024 race, the popularity of RSBN among the MAGA faithful and Trump himself could revive the dynamics of 2016

On a summer afternoon in Erie, Pennsylvania, Right Side Broadcasting Network host Matthew Alvarez was doing what the outlet does best: interviewing diehard supporters of former president Donald Trump before one of his raucous rallies, the WWE-style events that defined his 2016 sprint to the White House and continued after his 2020 election loss. At one point during his cheery canvass of the crowd, Alvarez pointed his microphone at a stocky man wearing a Trump 2024 baseball cap and a “Thin Blue Line” T-shirt. “Joe Biden is a disgrace to this country,” the man said in a thick drawl. “And so are all the left and the RINOs, the globalists, every one of ’em! Kill ’em all! Kill ’em all!”

“I agree with you on that,” Alvarez cautiously replied.

What Happens When Men Choose Robot Brides?

Anyone who doubts how realistic robots are becoming has not visited YouTube recently.

About twenty years ago, colleges and universities began chasing men away. In part due to the U.S. civil rights law called Title IX, in part due to the pendulum swinging back from male dominance, and in part due to a “feelings are paramount” protocol, some women’s (hostile?) attitudes towards men began taking over campuses. Many male students sensed the change and asked rhetorically, “Who needs it?” They left (and continue to leave) brick-and-mortar schools in droves for online and professional training. In 2021, The Wall Street Journal noted that U.S. colleges and universities had 1.5 million fewer students on campus than they had had five years prior. Men accounted for more than 70 percent of that enrollment drop! Inside Higher Education made a similar observation, noting that “it’s clear that men are disappearing from college and university campuses — especially community colleges and large public universities — at rates never seen before,” and offering one of the reasons as “campus climates and services not tailored to men.”

Washington Post Reinvents Its Biden Family Corruption Standard To Cover For The ‘Big Guy’

The Washington Post established itself as the premier public relations partner for the Biden family this weekend in a laughable article that purported to summarize its “review” of Hunter Biden’s career. The left-leaning outlet’s “reporting,” however, instead peddled to Americans a mythical tale that not only moved the goalposts for judging misconduct but whitewashed the entire field of the family’s influence-peddling scheme — details of which now confirm President Biden personally profited from the corruption.

Javier Milei: Argentina’s far-right outsider wins presidential election

Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei, 53, as their new president.

With almost all votes counted, Mr Milei had won close to 56% in the decisive run-off, ahead of his left-wing rival, Sergio Massa, with 44%.

It has been welcomed by like-minded politicians such as US ex-President Donald Trump, who said Mr Milei would “Make Argentina Great Again”.

75% of Palestinians support the Hamas murder spree

Palestinians: ‘Extreme’ Support for Terrorist Group Hamas, Israel’s Destruction

One of the reasons why Palestinian leaders refuse to condemn Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israelis is because they know that many Palestinians support the atrocities committed by the Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group.

Unlike the Biden administration and many Europeans, these leaders, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, are fully aware of the widespread support among their people for any group whose goal is to murder Israelis and destroy Israel. The Palestinian leaders, in addition, are also aware that a majority of the Palestinians are opposed to the deluded Western fantasy of a “two-state solution.”

Antisemitism and Islamophobia both surging in NY during Hamas-Israel war: Poll

Antisemitism is raging in New York during the Hamas-Israel war while Islamophobia against Muslims also is on the rise, a new survey released Monday reveals.

About three-quarters of New York voters — 73% — said Jews in the state are experiencing a great deal or some antisemitism, while only 16% said there is not much or any at all, the Siena College poll found.

And of those who cited antisemitism as a problem, 75% said the hatred increased after Hamas invaded Israel on Oct. 7.

Top 1 per cent wealthiest responsible for same amount of carbon emissions as bottom 66 per cent

A new report has found that the top one per cent of earners are disproportionately driving the climate crisis, and researchers are calling for substantially higher taxes on income, wealth and corporate profits to fix it.

After five months of consecutive global temperature records, climate scientists say global warming has become an equity issue as much as an environmental crisis.

Meet the Panic! Kornacki Shows ‘Stunning’ New NBC Poll Finding Trump Leading Biden

The one thing that forces negative coverage of President Biden is negative polling. On Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC’s politics guru Steve Kornacki explained to host Kristen Welker the latest NBC News findings, which show an erosion of Biden’s standing, even among young Democrats. The war in Gaza is taking a toll, and Donald Trump now leads Biden, 46 to 44 percent.

Trudeau devotes a quarter of his time to ‘personal days’: Not as bad as Joe Biden

Since coming to power in 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken 680 “personal” days – the equivalent of 22 months or nearly two years – an analysis of his public itineraries shows.

The Prime Minister’s Office has marked as personal his daily schedules 24 per cent of the calendar days since he first formed government, excluding election campaigns.


Where’s Joe Biden? Probably on vacation.
