Electric Car Subsidies Are A Bad Investment

Climate activists and politicians constantly tell us electric cars are cleaner, cheaper, and better. California and many countries, including the U.K., Germany, and Japan, will even prohibit the sale of new gas and diesel cars within a decade or two. But if electric cars are really so good, why do we need to ban the alternatives? And why do we need to subsidize electric cars to the tune of $30 billion per year?

The reality is far more muddled than the boosters of electric cars would have you believe.

The Climate Cultists know electric cars are a dead end. But they’ll exploit them to line their pockets until you realize far too late that they don’t want you permitted to drive anything at all.

PM’s office knew of Laith Marouf hate tweets a month before contract was cancelled

Justin and fellow racist Laith Marouf

The Prime Minister’s Office knew about an anti-racism consultant’s derogatory tweets about “Jewish white supremacists” a month before the government cancelled a $133,000 contract in which he played a key role.

The consultant, Laith Marouf, is an expert for the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC), a non-profit that was awarded the contract earlier this year. Mr. Marouf’s tweets also derided francophones and Black and Indigenous public figures.

RAF pilots could be banned from training Chinese military

Ministers want to change the law to prevent pilots who have served in the armed forces from training the Chinese military after it emerged that Beijing had recruited dozens of British former armed forces pilots to train its air force in an effort to understand western tactics.

At least 30 former fast jet and helicopter pilots have been lured by sums of about $270,000 a year since the start of the pandemic to help China develop its tactics and technological expertise.

Diane Francis: Canada is a lightweight nation

OPEC kicked the United States, the West, and the world’s poorest nations in the teeth recently with oil production cuts that will raise prices to help finance Russia’s war against Ukraine and Europe. And what has Canada done to help allay this situation, given that it is a country with one of the biggest oil and gas reserves on the planet?

Here’s How ICE Tried To Spin Their ‘Indefensible’ 2021 Report Showing Massive Drop In Deportations, Arrests

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attempted to spin the agency’s low arrest and deportation numbers in fiscal year 2021 by blaming them on the pandemic, a Trump-era rule and lack of cooperation with foreign countries, according to internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

ICE’s communications team acknowledged that the agency’s Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Report, which featured a massive decline in deportations and arrests, would likely be the subject of criticism, and prepared a response for acting Director Tae Johnson and acting Chief of Staff Jason Houser to downplay the low levels of interior immigration enforcement, according to internal communications obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The report was also delayed, which ICE attributed to the fact that the report was a compilation of what would otherwise be multiple separate reports.

Why did Canada help my brother die?

The laws around assisted suicide are terrifyingly liberal

“They’re going to say that all suicides are way down.” Gary Nichols is speaking to me from his home in Edmonton, Canada. In 2019, his younger brother Alan was hospitalised for threatening to kill himself. Within a month, he was dead. He had ended his own life at Chilliwack General Hospital, aged 61, and doctors and nurses had helped him do it.

Gallup: New low in media ‘trust’

The media apparently has no bottom in the free fall from its golden days decades ago.

The latest sign: Gallup today revealed that the percentage of Americans who have “no trust” in journalism outpaces a “great deal/fair amount” for the first time ever.

“Just 7% of Americans have ‘a great deal’ of trust and confidence in the media, and 27% have ‘a fair amount,” said Gallup in dishing up the depressing news for media outlets.

‘Despicable’ and ‘abhorrent’: Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson testifies at Emergencies Act inquiry

The behaviour from the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protesters in February was “despicable” and “abhorrent,” Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson told the Emergencies Act inquiry on Tuesday.

Watson is spending the day providing his long-awaited testimony on municipal efforts to handle the three-week demonstration, after his chief of staff and Ottawa’s city manager appeared Monday.

“We had some people dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We had other people urinating at Cenotaph. We had a group that went and stole meals from the (homeless shelter) Shepherds of Good Hope,” Watson said.

Freeland apologizes for saying Africans must be ‘prepared to die for their democracy’ … makes pathetic ass of herself doing so

“If a white western person has offended someone, the first answer is to say, ‘I really didn’t mean to offend you.’”

Her initial comment was fine, her patronizing “apology” was racist.

There’s no bullshit quite like White Liberal Woman Bullshit.

‘This is an emergency’: David Suzuki addresses profanity-laden climate rant

The Canadian government’s baby steps toward addressing the climate crisis are “embarrassing,” famed environmentalist David Suzuki said Monday while expanding on the profanity-laden criticism he launched during a federal announcement last week.

“We are the only one of the G7 nations that hasn’t reduced our greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels,” Suzuki told CTV News Channel’s Power Play.

Images emerge of mangled Nord Stream: 165ft of blown-up Baltic Sea gas pipe is ‘either missing or buried under the seabed’

Extraordinary first images of a mangled Nord Stream pipeline have emerged, three weeks after it was blown up ‘with extreme force’ in a suspected act of sabotage.

Footage, released on Tuesday, showed at least 165 feet of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was destroyed or buried under the seabed, following an explosion on September 26 – assumed by many to have been a Russian attack.

Release of the images came as Danish police said ‘powerful explosions’ were behind damage to the two gas pipelines (Nord Stream 1 and 2) in the Danish part of the Baltic Sea. On October 6, Swedish investigators said their own initial investigations had come to a similar conclusion.

John Ivison: Emergencies Act inquiry uncovers government failure at every level

Anyone wondering why public trust in government has tanked should review the testimony of Ottawa’s city manager at the inquiry into the federal government’s use of emergency legislation last winter. Residents and businesses were casualties of almost encyclopedic misjudgments by police, the city, the province and the federal government.

Trust in government tanked long before the Convoy arrived on the scene. It was the symptom.

Four years after legalization, illegal cannabis market still thriving in Canada

While Canada marks four years of legal cannabis on Monday, industry observers are wondering why it’s taken so long for a legal, government-regulated weed marketplace to overtake the illicit market.

During the 2015 federal election campaign, cannabis legalization for the Trudeau Liberals was framed as a means to protect young people from an entrenched and dangerous criminal black market.

Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi gets 20-year sentence for recruiting Islamic State fighters

Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi – Muslim Terrorist

A Canadian national who lived in southern California was sentenced to 20 years in U.S. prison on Monday for helping at least a half-dozen Canadians and Americans join the Islamic State group in Syria in 2013 and 2014 — including the first known American to die fighting for the militant organization.

Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi directly funded “violent acts of terrorism,” including the kidnapping and killing of people in Syria, said U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman in a statement.
