These aren’t your ordinary anti-capitalist climate crusaders.

Extinction Rebellion, the radical environmentalists who tried to blockade traffic to the Burning Man counterculture festival Sunday — only to be rammed aside by tribal police — are funded by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, along with an heir to the Getty fortune and outdoor retailer Patagonia.

Cleaning up London’s air has become toxic politics

London, a global pioneer in pricing schemes aimed at reducing traffic and automobile emissions, is taking another big leap forward today with a dramatic expansion of its pollution-charge zone.

But the latest change has ignited surprisingly fierce resistance, evoking not just protests but also mass acts of vandalism and the type of intense rhetoric associated with populist campaigns against COVID-19 restrictions.

London police say they are braced for a new round of physical attacks on the monitoring cameras and other infrastructure needed to enforce the new scheme.

SK Premier Says Parents Are Best Experts on Child Gender Identity Policy

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says parents themselves are the “leading experts” on their children as the government faces criticism for a new policy requiring parental consent to change a child’s pronouns or gender identity at school.

“I’ve been asked what experts we consulted in creating the Parental Inclusion and Consent policy. I believe the leading experts in children’s upbringing are their parents,” said Mr. Moe on the social media platform X on Aug. 27.

How the ‘urban doom loop’ could pose the next economic threat

In Indianapolis, the technology giant Salesforce is paring back a quarter of its office space in the tallest building in Indiana, where it has been a key tenant for the past six years. In Atlanta, the private investment giant Starwood Capital defaulted on a $212 million mortgage on a 29-story office tower. And in Baltimore, a landmark building sold for $24 million last month, roughly $42 million less than it fetched in 2015.

Canadian parents want to be informed by the school if their child wishes to change pronouns: poll

A new poll suggests that a large majority of Canadians believe schools should inform parents if their child wishes to change their name or pronouns.

But the country appears split over whether parental consent should be required for kids who wish to make that change in the classroom.

What sort of sick mind supports this degeneracy?

Michael Higgins: The tyranny of the bureaucracy and the weaponization of codes of conduct

White Supremacist

Nineteen months ago, Mike Ramsay — a school trustee and former police officer who also happens to be Black — was in a board meeting when he came to the defence of a teacher he had never met.

The cost to him so far: being called a white supremacist; being shunned; being censured by his school board; being banned from meetings; enduring a lengthy court battle; and, last month, facing the threat of another disciplinary hearing.

The Latest Juicy Nugget in the Biden Bribery Scandal

The evidence that Hunter Biden was selling influence with his father’s full knowledge and participation is already quite substantial. Between bank records, paid FBI informants, IRS whistleblowers, witness testimony, and heck, even Joe Biden’s own braggadocio over the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, it’s frankly shocking that Biden hasn’t already been forced out of the 2024 election.

Ukraine liberates Robotyne as counter-offensive moves south

Liberation comes after major breakthrough in the most difficult line of Russian defences in the south

Ukraine claims to have liberated the southern front-line village of Robotyne after achieving what it said was a major breakthrough in Russian defences.

The military said last week it had raised the Ukrainian flag in the village but were still coming under Russian fire from two houses they had yet to seize control of.

It followed what Ukrainian forces believe was a breakthrough in the most difficult line of Russian defences in the south and what they hope would be the start of a quicker advance.

Modest Texas town repurposed into a dumping ground for expired wind turbine blades

“What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine.”

Sweetwater is a unique place with a special history, dating back to the days before the American settlers; the name of this small town in central Texas is itself, derived from a word of the Kiowa Indians. The Kiowa were a nomadic tribe that often hunted through “Mobeetie” or in English, “sweet water” but eventually, the tribe was brought to heel by a federal military under the command of Ulysses S. Grant, during the conflict known as the Red River War — Grant didn’t get the moniker Mr. Lincoln’s Butcher for nothing!
