Trudeau’s ‘Woke’ Policy On Plastics A Nightmare For Canadians

By a stroke of the pen, the federal government has declared that all manufactured plastic products are now toxic and subject to a ban on manufacturing in Canada. The Prime Minister and his Cabinet will now decide unilaterally which of these items will be prohibited in Canada.

Car Story: Where Will Canada’s Electric Vehicle Batteries Go When They Die?

What happens when an electric vehicle battery the size of a small dinner table reaches the end of its life?

That’s the question jurisdictions across Canada and the world are grappling with as more and more electric vehicles hit the roads in the coming decades. In B.C., government estimates there will be more than 2.5 million of these vehicles cruising along the province’s roadways by 2040.

The Ontario Government Doesn’t Seem Very “Conservative”

The province of Ontario under Doug Ford’s premiership is hardly conservative and it is definitely not “for the people.”

On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by MPP Roman Baber. He has gone from being one of Doug Ford’s loudest supporters to one his most ardent critics. Baber was ejected from caucus in early 2021 after calling on the premier to put an end to destructive lockdowns.

They discuss the draconian lockdown measures, how science contradicts our current health measures and the need for fundamental change in Canadian politics.

Dear Global “Elites”: A Manifesto

Recently, one of your number, an economics professor at Oxford, had this to say: “At Davos a few years ago, the Edelman survey showed us the good news is that the elites across the world trust each other more and more. So we can come together and design and do beautiful things together. The bad news is that, in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted their elite less. So we can lead, but if people aren’t following, we’re not going to get to where we want to go.”

Where to begin unpacking this stunning example of tone-deaf arrogance, which I imagine is fairly representative of the way most “elites” feel these days?

Let’s start with this: No. We are not following. You’re right about that. And we have no intention of following you, for a number of reasons.

Joe Biden: ‘The Constitution Is Always Evolving Slightly’

“You know there’s always a renewed national debate every time we nominate, any president nominates a justice, because the Constitution is always evolving slightly,” Biden said, referring to his upcoming choice of a nominee to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court.

Center for COVID Control Faked COVID-19 Test Results: Lawsuit

The Center for COVID Control claimed to provide COVID-19 tests throughout Washington state for free and promised to provide results within 48 hours. But in reality, the company gathered patient insurance information and provided “invalid COVID-19 test results or no results at all,” according to the 14-page suit, filed in King County Superior Court by Washington state Attorney General Robert Ferguson.

Race-Based Rationing Is Real—And Dangerous

The stock market has plummeted, erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in household wealth in the span of weeks. War in Ukraine is a distinct possibility and not merely a worst-case scenario. Stakes as high as these tend to concentrate the mind. As a result, the ongoing and seemingly endless debates about “wokeness”—for want of a better term for the way a powerful sliver of the left discusses race and identity—seem odd and even unimportant.

Is the Future of the Persian Gulf Chinese?

In early January, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and the Islamic Republic of Iran traveled to China in the span of a week to strengthen their ties with the Chinese Communist Party. China, the emerging global superpower, has become the number one trading partner for these nations, thereby deepening Beijing’s political influence in the Middle East.

Over the last decade, on average, China imported half of its oil from the region. In 2020, China imported $82.6 billion of oil from Persian Gulf countries. Unlike Western democracies, China is in no rush to divest from fossil fuels. As the demand for Persian Gulf oil fades in the West, Chinese imports play an even more critical role in the region’s economic life.

The New White Flight

The white upper middle class is deranging American politics. We should have seen it coming.

In 2010, America’s last famous novelist, Jonathan Franzen, launched on the reading public Freedom, his tale of a striving family headed by Walter and Patty Berglund. They were gentrifiers in St. Paul, Minn. The paterfamilias was a lawyer at the conglomerate 3M but no corporate cutthroat. He biked to work and was in the outreach-and-philanthropy department. The Berglunds were “the super-guilty sort of liberals who needed to forgive everybody so their own good fortune could be forgiven; who lacked the courage of their privilege.”

Colossal incompetence: Biden officials completely unprepared for fall of Afghanistan, leaked memo shows

It’s not huge news that the Biden administration was a colossal failure on Afghanistan, or that Joe Biden still thinks there’s nothing to apologize for.

What’s news now is the colossal incompetence that went on inside that administration as Afghanistan was collapsing, according to a leaked memo that Axios got hold of…

Ilhan Omar’s Husband Accuses Iranian Dissident of ‘Islamophobia’

Critics of the “Islamophobia” bill sponsored by the winsome and patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) say that it will be used not just to combat vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, but to stifle any criticism of Islam at all, including opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Omar’s latest husband, the amply remunerated political consultant Tim Mynett, has just proven this concern to be abundantly justified by accusing a U.S.-based Iranian dissident of opposing the bill just because she dislikes Muslims. It’s an ugly false charge, and it reveals that the foes of Omar’s “Islamophobia” bill were right all along.

The uncomfortable truth about Sweden

Too many liberals have tried to suppress debate about Sweden’s violence problem.

Peaceful, comfortable, and broadly middle-class, Sweden’s reputation as a Scandi social-democratic paradise has been one of modern life’s reliable constants.

But this image is starting to crumble. Rocked by a migrant rape crisis, a wave of women’s killings, and a sharp rise in gun and grenade attacks, Sweden is struggling to reconcile its gentle outlook with this violent reckoning.

‘Convoy to DC 2022’ Gaining Steam as American Truckers Begin to Organize

There is perhaps no better representative of America’s spirit than the rebels of the road, American truckers. So it makes perfect sense that they would be at the forefront of organizing an anti-vaccine mandate caravan that will start in California sometime next month and roll into Washington, D.C. some weeks later.

Trucker convoy GoFundMe suspended, ‘under review’ after raising over $10M

GoFundMe said Wednesday it has paused and is reviewing the fundraiser for Canada’s trucker convoy that has raised over $10 million to date.

A warning that the fundraiser is “under review” has been posted to its page and donation buttons and a list of previous donors have been removed.

“This fundraiser is currently paused and under review to ensure it complies with our terms of service and applicable laws and regulations,” GoFundMe’s warning reads.

You just know the LPC did this.

Terry Glavin: The CBC’s gleeful promotion of its ‘Genocide Games’ coverage is shameful

 

It’s a paradox.

Canadians keep telling public-opinion pollsters they’ve had quite enough of the gruesome Chinese police state and would rather have nothing at all to do with the Beijing Winter Games, which officially kick off this week. With all the national shouting and divisive contentions over COVID-19 containment, inflation and a real estate industry drunk on relentlessly rising housing costs, it’s the one big thing Canadians seem to agree upon.

Trucker convoy: Trudeau says protest ‘becoming illegal’ as demands for action grow

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is working with the Ottawa police to put an end to the ongoing trucker protest in the nation’s capital as officials brace for a resurgence in demonstrators in the downtown core this coming weekend.

“We will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to ensure that people are protected and to ensure that this protest, which is now becoming illegal, does come to an end,” Trudeau said in French in the House of Commons on Wednesday, when asked what the federal government is doing to remove truckers from downtown Ottawa as the demonstration stretches into its sixth day.


Ottawa police expect ‘Freedom Convoy’ protest to grow this weekend

Ottawa police say they’re anticipating the “Freedom Convoy” protest that has snarled traffic and filled downtown Ottawa with relentless noise to grow again this weekend as more demonstrators return and that policing may not bring the protest to an end.

“The intelligence that we’re seeing currently is that we will continue to see the convoy attempt to hold what they have,” said deputy chief Steve Bell at a technical briefing on Wednesday. “Expect to see increased vehicular traffic Saturday and through weekend, decreasing Monday.”

Why Canada’s truckers will lose

 

They are driving into a merciless political establishment

The world does not usually pay much attention to Ottawa, Canada’s sleepy capital city. But over the weekend it generated international headlines. A “Freedom Convoy” consisting of anti-vaccine mandate truckers descended on the Canadian parliament to protest cross-border vaccine mandates and what they see as the infringement of their rights. Anti-establishment voices, ranging from Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk to Russell Brand and Donald Trump, all expressed their support.
