Canada’s progressives need to rethink the green reality

Challenged by many Liberals, New Democrats, and a wide swathe of Canadians, to defend his softening on fossil fuels, especially liquid natural gas (LNG), one might forgive Prime Minister Mark Carney for saying to himself, or even out loud, “Because its 2025, not 2015!”

The year of Justin Trudeau’s first election victory, followed by the Paris agreement on climate, was an ebullient moment for Canadian green progressives. The United States had finally moved to sanity on climate. Deadlines for transition away from fossil fuels were set by many countries and companies at what were seen as “aspirational” levels.

Germany Sees New Surge in Violent Attacks on Women by Immigrant Suspects

Germany is seeing another surge in violence against women committed by non-German suspects, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has reported.

Presenting the findings on Thursday, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) said the trend “has been solidifying for years.” The BKA registered almost 266,000 victims of domestic violence last year, including more than 187,000 women and girls. That represents a 3.8% rise on the previous year and a 17.8% increase compared with 2022.

Fifteen years ago, on March 7, 2010, Michigan Live (which bills itself as “Michigan’s #1 News Source”) ran an article by one Kim Schneider about the Islamization of Dearborn, Michigan, which she described as boasting “one of the largest Muslim communities outside the Middle East.”

Architect of Sweden’s controversial anti-lockdown strategy reveals why nation did NOT need stay at home measures

Eliminating Covid was ‘impossible’, according to the architect of Sweden’s anti-lockdown approach.

In an explosive memoir charting the pandemic in his eyes, Dr Anders Tegnell — the nation’s now-former state epidemiologist — said it was obvious the virus would not be over by summer 2020.

As such, shutting down society for so long was off the cards.

Lorne Gunter: Feds’ treatment of Alberta versus Quebec clearly uneven

Presently, Quebec’s legislature, the National Assembly, is debating a new provincial constitution that would declare Quebec a “free national State,” known as the State of Quebec, “fully sovereign” from the rest of Canada. The new constitution would assert that the province may appoint its own superior court judges (a power now reserved to Ottawa), conduct foreign policy separate from (or even at odds with) Canada’s foreign policy, ignore federal laws and participate in national institutions only when Quebec wishes to.

It’s effectively a declaration of independence without having to give up billions annually in transfer and equalization payments.

What Happened When Extinction Rebellion Had a Taste of its Own Medicine

Last week, I attended an event on climate change at the Hampton Inspired Hub. It was advertised as an update on the science of global warming. The first words out of the host’s mouth, however, were: “Thank you for joining us here with Hampton Extinction Rebellion.”

I nearly got up to leave, but it was raining outside and I already had a drink, so I decided to stay.

Minnesota welfare fraud exposes the failure of assimilation

There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland.

The enraging City Journal exposé presents a case study in why the United States must drastically slash the number of immigrants it admits, and become significantly more rigorous in choosing whom to admit and how to assimilate them.

“There is an issue here that is real,” a law-enforcement source said, “and if there is ever an event that is traceable back to these funds, or to people from this area, then this situation will take on a whole new set of optics.”

Awesome news!

The enablers: A network of professionals, family and friends allegedly kept Ryan Wedding’s vast cocaine empire afloat

A network of seemingly legitimate professionals in Canada and abroad are accused of keeping a billion-dollar drug cartel afloat under the violent leadership of former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding.

While Wedding is named as the improbable mastermind behind a vast cocaine empire — compared by the FBI to history’s most notorious drug lords Pablo Escobar and El Chapo Guzman — nine other people were also alleged by the U.S. government to form a “network of enablers” who stop him choking on a mountain of hard-to-use dirty money.

Residents are in revolt over the plans for Crowborough Army Training Camp in East Sussex, with thousands of people turning out every week for noisy protests.

Today, guards with dogs were seen patrolling the site, where a secondary security fence has been erected alongside a series of residential huts.

New US rules say countries with diversity policies are infringing human rights

Countries enforcing race or gender diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies will now be at risk of the Trump administration deeming them as infringing on human rights.

The State Department is issuing the new rules to all US embassies and consulates involved in compiling its annual report on global human rights abuses.

The new instructions also deem countries that subsidise abortion or facilitate mass migration as infringing on human rights.

The changes, which the State Department says are intended to stop “destructive ideologies”, have been condemned by rights campaigners who argue the Trump administration is re-defining long-established human rights principles to pursue ideological goals.


In other words the jigs up.

Say hello to your AI granny

Doing the rounds on social media is the most disturbing advert I’ve ever seen. And I’m telling you about it because you need to be forewarned, just in case this Christmas a child or a grandchild happens to mention that it might be an idea to record a video for posterity, and opens the 2wai app.

2wai is the company responsible for the ad, and the service it offers is the creation of AI versions of family members so that relatives can talk to them after they’re dead. Catch ’em while they’re still alive, says 2wai; film a three-minute interview and Bob’s your AI uncle. ‘Loved ones we’ve lost can be part of our future.’ That’s its catchphrase.
