Electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle sales in Germany dropped sharply in January following the expiration of its government subsidy program, illustrating the extent to which consumers depend on the financial incentives.
Electric car sales in Germany fell by 32% in January compared to the same point last year, according to data from German auto association VDA.
It’s not every day that a public university professor comes out of the woodwork to condemn “gender-affirming” surgery, but that’s exactly what Dr. Blair Peters has done.
Clark and his law firm send out more than 100,000 warnings every year and he’s sued thousands. Some say he’s harassing regular people for profit — but to others, he’s Canada’s copyright cop
It’s an email no one wants to get, but thousands of Canadians get one every month: “Important notice regarding your internet activity,” the subject line says. It looks like spam, but you click through just in case.
At the top of the message is a note from your internet service provider explaining that the law requires it to forward you the email below — and that’s when you get nervous.
The message, from an American movie studio, says your computer’s IP address was used to illegally distribute one of their movies. The email instructs you to remove the file and stop downloading or uploading copyright-protected content without permission.
… On Saturday morning, Ford thanked Tory, whom he referred to as a friend, for his “many years of public service” and wished him “nothing but the best in the days, weeks and months ahead.”
“John will be remembered as a dedicated and hard-working mayor who served as a steady leader during the most difficult days of the pandemic,” Ford said. “He united Toronto behind an optimistic vision for the future and I will miss working with him to see it come to life.”
The Pandemic Puta used to work for the CPC until Scheer was voted leader, it appears she is well versed in politics, an excellent communicator and proficient at oral presentations.
I’m sure Emily Hillstrom wasn’t attracted to power, she looks like the kind of gal who regularly dates wrinkly-assed 68 year-olds like John Tory, right? #TOpoli #Toronto #onpoli https://t.co/0DMYeLYOo1

Iran’s military presence at the Panama Canal, the major maritime chokepoint in the Western Hemisphere — which is controlled by America’s main enemy, China — is a serious national security threat to the United States in more ways than one.
The Biden administration, seemingly as usual, has been turning a blind eye to the Iran’s increasing military presence in Latin America. Its latest activities now pose a grave danger to North America’s security and US national interests.
China on Friday accused the United States Congress of “dramatizing” the Chinese spy balloon incident after the House of Representatives unanimously approved a resolution to condemn China for it.
H. Res. 104 condemns the “Chinese Communist Party’s use of a high-altitude surveillance balloon over United States territory” and labeled the situation “a brazen violation of United States sovereignty.”
Incarcerated women are far more likely than men to have experienced sexual abuse in their lives, and having male-bodied inmates share their private space is retraumatizing, says a report published this week by the MacDonald Laurier Institute.
In Canada, men who don’t genuinely identify as women can also say they do, says April Kitzul, a long-time parole and correctional officer. They can thus take advantage of easier conditions in women’s prisons, and they can get “access to their victim pool,” she said in a commentary published with the report.
Two kinds of rules govern city life: written and unwritten. The written kind lays out the rules in black and white. You can’t run a red light, throw your trash in the park or steal your neighbour’s lawn mower.
The second, unwritten kind is greyer – more shouldn’ts than can’ts. You shouldn’t take up two seats on a crowded bus or cut someone off in traffic. Put another way, you should treat those around you with at least a minimum of decency.
Toronto is a hateful town, lots of reasons why.

John Tory, a 68-year-old born-and-bred Torontonian and member of the city’s business and political elite, resigned as its mayor on Friday after admitting to an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.
Tory was born into a successful family with a major law firm, Torys, founded by his grandfather.
His father, John A. Tory, worked at the firm, but later moved on to work with the Thomson family to run their financial holding company. His father also served on the board of directors of Rogers Communications.

Calgary’s mayor says “hate-fuelled” demonstrations cannot go on after a scheduled drag event was postponed for safety concerns due to a planned protest — adding the city will use a bylaw to fine people communicating hateful messages.
Franca Gualtieri, executive director of Chinook Blast, said the organization is aware of protests that were planned for the festival’s Drag on Ice with DJ Gaysnakes at Olympic Plaza on Saturday and Sunday.
A final batch of court documents related to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s associates and “salacious” allegations against them could be released in the coming weeks — some four years after the disgraced financier’s death, a report claims.
The documents will name at least one “public figure” and will be made public within the coming months, according to a filing reviewed by the DailyMail.
The records are likely to reveal hundreds of “alleged perpetrators” and individuals accused of “serious wrongdoings,” as well as Epstein’s victims and employees.
The twin Nord Stream pipelines that connect Russia to Germany were wrecked by an undersea explosion on Sept. 16. The catastrophe was both environmental and economic. The severed pipes released enormous amounts of planet-warming methane, Germany lost its main source of cheap energy, and Russia one of its main sources of foreign exchange earnings.
The catastrophe was also political, of course. Who was to blame for the destruction of the Russian-owned pipelines? It was no accident. A Swedish inquiry concluded in November that the damage was the result of “gross sabotage” – investigators found traces of explosives on the metal pieces they recovered in the Baltic Sea.
