Joe Biden insists he’s a friend in Canada. The evidence suggests otherwise.
OTTAWA-Canada-US relations are again at a critical turning point as a major Canadian political and trade delegation left Capitol Hill Friday with nothing in hand.
No withdrawal of a proposed cut for electric cars that would deeply hurt Canada’s auto industry.
No move on plans to double US tariffs on Canadian softwood.
No synchronization of border measures against COVID-19 variants.
No change in a new dispute over whether Canada’s potato exports are safe in the eyes of U.S. regulators.
The US under President Joe Biden plans to rebuild better. It’s just planning to do it without help from or favorite for Canada, thank you.
WTF?

So this Canadian university is hosting a “Decolonizing Light Project” to counter “colonialism in contemporary physics” 🤡
The University of Concordia is hosting a conference called “Decolonizing Light: Centering Indigenous Concerns in Science” in partnership with the Centre for Engineering in Society and several Native American groups.
The goal of the conference and its larger Decolonizing Light Project is to “decolonize science” and to develop “a culture of critical reflection and investigation of the relation of science and colonialism.”

Chris Cuomo fired from CNN over involvement with brother Andrew’s scandals
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired in the wake of revelations he secretly aided the defense of his embattled brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — and the network said it is probing new information on “Fredo.”
“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end,” Chris Cuomo said in a statement.
“But I have already told you why and how I helped my brother,” he continued.
CNN confirmed the firing and said that Cuomo had been “terminated … effective immediately” as an outside law firm continues to investigate “his involvement with his brother’s defense.”
Zemmour takes immigration centre stage
ERIC Zemmour’s decision to run for the presidency of France means immigration will be a headline election issue forcing all the political parties to take a public position. This is potentially explosive in a continent where governments have long been at loggerheads with their electorates over the mass influx of migrants.
Zemmour, a polemical journalist and author of books railing against immigration and its threat to French values and traditions, doesn’t expect to defeat President Macron in the May 2022 election. His objective is to force the Parisian establishment to take account of the disregarded populist Right who are 35 per cent of the electorate. Like him, they believe the real purpose of immigration, hidden from them by their elites, is to replace the French people with migrants. He calls it The Great Replacement.
George Soros’ has bankrolled woke DA’s in crime ridden cities across the US
Billionaire Democrat donor George Soros has bankrolled District Attorneys in America’s most crime ravaged cities, where criminals are being allowed to walk out of jail on low cash bonds or aren’t even being charged.
Soros, the most prolific Democratic donor, is most known for giving to Presidents Clinton and Obama but he has also been pumping money into a far-left effort to overhaul the criminal justice system by giving millions to a network of woke prosecutors in Democratic races.
Among them is Kim Foxx, the State’s Attorney for Cook County, Chicago, where murder is at its highest in nearly 30 years.
NSO Group spyware used to hack at least nine US officials’ phones – report
The iPhones of at least nine US state department officials were recently hacked by a government using NSO Group spyware, according to a new report that raised serious questions about the use of Israeli surveillance tools against US government officials around the world.
The claim, which was reported by Reuters, comes just weeks after the Biden administration placed NSO on a US blacklist and said the surveillance company acted “contrary to the foreign policy and national security interests of the US”.
The great nudge
When we think of oppressive regimes, we immediately think of the Stalinist model portrayed in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, the heavy-handed thought control associated with Hitler’s Reich or Mao’s China. But where the old propaganda was loud, crude and often lethal, the contemporary style of thought control takes the form of a gentle nudging towards orthodoxy – a gentle push that gradually closes off one’s critical faculties and leads one to comply with gently given directives. Governments around the world, including in the UK, notes the Guardian, have been embracing this approach with growing enthusiasm.
US White Supremacists Responsible For Low Vax Uptake Among Aussie Aborigines Says In The Know Pol
The leader of West Australia has suggested that US-based “white supremacist groups” may be to blame for low vaccination rates among Aboriginals, claiming indigenous peoples have been targeted with anti-vaxx propaganda.
“There’s been some misinformation provided to Aboriginal people from people who do not have their best interests at heart,” West Australia Premier Mark McGowan told reporters on Thursday, adding that he had “heard from one Aboriginal person who said white supremacist groups are sending information to Aboriginal people that they shouldn’t get vaccinated.”
Taxpayers should not have to ‘subsidize’ telecoms that chose Huawei, Conservatives say
The Conservatives are urging the Liberal government not to spend public money to compensate Canada’s large telecom companies for choosing to use Huawei equipment if it goes ahead with a Huawei 5G ban.
“We ask that your government categorically reject requests for compensation from Canada’s large telecommunications companies,” Conservative Public Safety critic Raquel Dancho said in a letter sent Friday to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendocino and Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne.
A ChiCom Bank gave Frankie Champagne a mortgage so I’m sure we can trust him to do the right thing.
If Ottawa Wants Line 5 to Stay Open, Why Is it Dismissing Energy Ventures in the Rest of Canada?
Why is the Line 5 pipeline so important? Why are we invoking treaties and clauses in treaties, and pleading with Michigan to recognize treaties in order to keep this line open and the oil flowing?
Our very woke government’s inclination has been, since its inception a very few years ago, to walk in lockstep with all the proper opinion-makers of Europe, who walk in lockstep with the woke left of Berlin, Glasgow, Berkley, and Cambridge, and who demand we make oil production, and pipelines, completely obsolete within 20 years. Is it 20? It may be less, may be more, but obsolete nonetheless.
Abrams to Maddow: Unlike Trump, I never challenged my election result
So says the woman who spent the last three years refusing to concede she actually lost the election. Stacey Abrams might be technically accurate by the barest of margins in claiming that she “did not challenge” her 2018 election result, but only in the sense that she didn’t file lawsuits alleging conspiracies. Instead, she’s lived for three years off of those claims in friendly media environs such as MSNBC.
Canada too quick to treat gender dysphoria in minors with hormones, surgery: critics
Other countries have taken a step back and the critics’ concerns are unexpectedly being shared by some leading figures in the transgender medical world itself
Mary’s troubled daughter had talked about her changing sexual identity before, but when she announced at age 16 that she was a transgender boy, it seemed to come out of the blue.
Even so, a doctor later wrote her a prescription for testosterone after a pair of 15-minute appointments, the mother says. Within months, the teenager had also had a double mastectomy. She was now a trans male.
Nevada supreme court: gun makers not liable for 2017 Vegas shooting deaths
The Nevada supreme court has said gun manufacturers cannot be held liable for deaths in the 2017 mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip which killed 60, because a state law shields them from liability unless the weapon malfunctions.
The parents of a woman among those killed at a packed music festival filed a wrongful death suit against Colt Manufacturing and several other gun manufacturers in July 2019.
The suit said the gun companies “knowingly manufactured and sold weapons designed to shoot automatically because they were aware their AR-15s could be easily modified with bump stocks to do so, thereby violating federal and state machine gun prohibitions”.
