Canada finding ‘solutions’ on EU carbon tariff threat: Carney

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ottawa has made progress on a trade irritant with the European Union — a carbon tariff on energy-intensive Canadian exports.

At the closing news conference for the Canada-EU summit in Montreal, Carney said there are “common solutions” to resolving the carbon import levy on Canadian products such as iron ore, steel, aluminum, cement and other goods.


The Great Negotiator huh.

South Africa’s Biggest City Faces Total Infrastructure Collapse

South Africa’s Biggest City Faces Total Infrastructure Collapse

Over 50 years of communist anti-colonialism in the third world, aided by some liberal governments in the west, has provided uncomfortable truths about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to human civilization. The first and most controversial truth is that, in many cases, third world societies are self destructive and incapable of maintaining the most basic of necessities.

The second controversial truth is that these same societies run by western interests function far better. All vital infrastructure is maintained and the people have upward mobility. In other words, western colonialism works. No matter what leftists and anti-colonial activists claim, time has proven them wrong.

Ukraine defies Trump to resume attacks on Russian oil refineries

Ukraine has resumed its attacks on Russian oil refineries in defiance of pressure from Donald Trump ahead of the US midterm elections, as a ceasefire in the occupied town of Oleshky ended on Sunday night.

Russian state media said on Sunday Ukrainian long-range drones had set fire to the Kstovo refinery in Nizhny Novgorod oblast overnight, soon after a major strike against another big refinery in Samara oblast, owned by the Russian state energy giant Rosneft.

Thousands of OSAP applications came from a single IP address, ministry alleges

Thousands of OSAP applications came from a single IP address, ministry alleges

TORONTO — At two career colleges now under the Ontario government’s microscope, more than half of the thousands of student financial aid applications last year came from a single IP address, officials allege in documents filed in court.

The government has also received more than 200 tips about that network of schools, including allegations that certain recruiters were submitting students’ Ontario Student Assistance Program applications at those schools, which is not allowed, and completing their coursework, those same documents show.


This is where identity politics leads.

Toss all foreign students out of Canada and shut down the diploma mills.

Henry Nowak’s family tell of trauma of seeing son handcuffed as he lay dying

Henry Nowak’s family tell of trauma of seeing son handcuffed as he lay dying

The family of Henry Nowak have said the trauma of learning he had been murdered was made worse by watching police footage of officers handcuffing him as he lay dying.

They told ITV their “world has changed twice”, first when they were told he had died, and again when they watched the body-worn camera video.

His killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely told police Henry had racially abused him, and officers handcuffed the student as he repeatedly said he had been stabbed.

Mark Carney and the last hurrah of the centrist dads

Mark Carney and the last hurrah of the centrist dads

Why are centrist dads so obsessed with getting closer to the European Union? Not only is Andy Burnham at it, but even Canada, which lies thousands of miles from the Continent, is having a go.

Last week, its prime minister, Mark Carney – denizen of Davos, erstwhile central bank governor and champion of centrist daddyness everywhere – confirmed Ottawa’s interest in becoming an “associate member”. It was like the death rattle of a doomed elite.

Learjet co-pilot in fatal Florida crash ID’d as 20-year-old who got her license in high school

The doomed Learjet co-pilot heard pleading for help in harrowing air traffic control audio before the fiery Florida crash has been identified as Nathalia Gadelha – a 20-year-old who got her pilot license while still in high school.

Gadelha’s mother, Camila, and her stepfather confirmed to The Post that she was the co-pilot flying a Learjet 60 from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when it entered a steep nosedive – plummeting at over 20,000 feet per minute – and smashed into the ground in Palm Beach County on Sunday afternoon.

Ottawa admits 500,000 annual housing starts target out of reach as immigration fuels demand

Ottawa admits 500,000 annual housing starts target out of reach as immigration fuels demand

The federal government has acknowledged its goal of building 500,000 homes annually is unlikely to be achieved this decade, with internal documents pointing to immigration-driven population growth and declining construction activity as major obstacles.

Blacklock’s Reporter says a June 17 briefing note prepared for Housing Minister Gregor Robertson warns that housing construction is expected to fall over the next several years, leaving Canada well short of the levels the Liberals previously said were necessary to restore affordability.

Shop freezers in six European countries hit by suspected cyber-attack

Shop freezers in six European countries hit by suspected cyber-attack

Dozens of supermarkets across six European countries have been hit by a suspected cyber-attack affecting their refrigerators and freezers.

Around 40 Delhaize supermarkets in Belgium and Luxembourg were affected, while a smaller number of shops were hit in Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands and Estonia.

Sabcobel, a Belgian company that manufactures some of the affected refrigerators, said the units’ evaporators were switched to defrost mode causing them to warm up, in what is believed to be the same method used in last month’s incident that hit hundreds of French supermarkets.


We are vulnerable on so many levels. How long before food riots if this is ever accomplished at scale?

Roles for trans and non-binary characters are vanishing, actors and experts warn

Last week, actor Asia Kate Dillon shared that nearly a decade after breaking boundaries playing the first non-binary main character in a major North American TV show, they are seeking a job in the service industry amid diminishing opportunities for trans performers.

The post from Dillon, who played Taylor Mason on the Showtime drama Billions from 2017 to 2023, comes a month after non-binary actor Jack Haven, known for Atypical and I Saw the TV Glow, made a plea on social media for casting roles to earn $4,000 US to qualify for SAG-AFTRA health insurance.

And despite a standout performance in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Canadian actor Elliot Page said earlier this year he hasn’t been getting casting calls.

Trump preparing to steamroll Congress if Democrats win

The White House has developed a secret plan to keep major parts of Donald Trump’s political agenda on track if Democrats seize control of Congress in the midterm elections.

Senior White House officials, including Stephen Miller, the deputy chief of staff, have spent months drawing up a plan that would allow Mr Trump to continue to pass laws without congressional approval.

Remembrance Day Without Prayer Undermines Canada’s Religious Pluralism

Remembrance Day Without Prayer Undermines Canada’s Religious Pluralism

For more than a century, Canadians gathered every Remembrance Day to honour our veterans with wreath-laying, reverent song, and solemn prayer. But thanks to an updated decree issued by the Department of National Defence, any mention of “religious specific language, including references to God” by military personnel at any public event, including Remembrance Day ceremonies, remains strictly prohibited.

The ban on religious prayer in public military settings has been in effect since 2023, but the Defence Department doubled down and expanded the restrictions in July of this year.
