Emerging from the train station in Bath, my wife and I were greeted by the 18th century. There were men in top hats and tails wielding ornate canes; women in elegant regency gowns so large they swallowed six square feet of street; fancy bonnets. It is the 250th birthday year of Jane Austen, who lived in Bath from 1801 to 1806, and the city pulled out all the stops. Austen’s birthday is December 16th, but the celebrations have been going on for months. At least, for some.
Ottawa’s billion-dollar push to build electric vehicle chargers has sputtered, with only a fraction of promised stations built and no proof the project will actually cut emissions, according to a new federal audit.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the Department of Natural Resources admitted its Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, launched in 2019, is far behind schedule and may not deliver meaningful results even if completed.
Yours truly predicted the EV Charger scam would be the next Green-Scam scandal.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plans to build housing and infrastructure nationwide are threatened by a potential shortage of construction workers, according to a new report from Deloitte.
The report, released Wednesday, projects that Canada will need to mobilize half a million skilled trade workers by 2030 in order to meet its goals, and as many as 800,000 workers by 2034.
The roughly 410,000 to 520,000 new workers needed to meet construction goals given the current workforce doesn’t factor in 270,000 construction workers expected to retire in the next decade and who will need to be replaced.
This is just a scam to bring in unlimited numbers of unskilled 3rd World migrants and provide our Corporate Kings with more slaves.
Are we living in 1859?
I ask it that way because all you can see and hear from Chicago are chaos, anarchy, violence, leftist conspiracy theories and exhortations by Democrats to ruin, and murder federal officials enforcing the law. It’s getting worse by the day.
The residents of the Democrat fever swamp now scream across broadcast media that President Trump will end Democracy in a year. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to rely on information from the local left-leaning corporate legacy news media–Sun Times and Tribune–as violent leftist mobs backed by Democrat politicians continue attacking federal law enforcement officers across the country.
Poor Captain Canada. He was once our nation’s hero, but the country seems less enamoured with his shtick now that his arch enemy, U.S. President Donald Trump, has retreated back to his lair to cultivate his malevolent schemes against various foes, and not simply Canada.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford began discovering his powers at the beginning of the year, when Canada was being governed by a lame-duck prime minister and a distinct absence of leadership at the federal level. With no one to counter Mr. Trump’s threats of punishing tariffs, our hero donned his uniform – a navy “Canada Is Not For Sale Hat – and bravely made idle threats about cutting off electricity to the Americans.
HOLY SHIT. Cecil Brockman, the Democrat NC State Rep. arrested for allegedly R*PING a child, has a YOUTH CENTER named after him.

TikToker says that the celebrations for Trump's death will be so big compared to the celebrations for Charlie Kirk's ass*ssination that he will even auction off his virginity.

Mark Carney’s Prime Minister’s Office has become famous — or infamous, depending on your view — for embracing British traditions. The National Post reports that the new PMO expects all documents to use British spelling. Staff are expected to dress in formal business attire. Anecdotally, men are expected to wear black shoes — so standard in London’s financial and political circles that there’s even a saying: “never wear brown in town.”

At least the government incentives that distort the market.
The $7,500 federal “incentive” dangled as an inducement to move the EV needle has expired. This means EV sales — if you want to use that word to describe a transaction involving the buyer, the seller, and you, the party who is taxed to “help” facilitate it — are likely to slide even farther below the waterline than they already were. This tends to happen when people are obliged to pay full price for a thing that is only tempting to them when it is heavily discounted — like those half-off dented cans of soup you sometimes see on sale at the supermarket.
Despite union efforts to squelch this industry, Waymo and others keep proving that robots are better drivers than human beings
SACRAMENTO — After San Bruno police couldn’t figure out how to ticket a driverless taxicab that made an illegal U-turn, the Legislature passed a measure that would hold these companies responsible for the rare traffic violation. That is not only unobjectionable but signals good news. Last year, the Legislature had tried — but failed — to pass a law that would have essentially allowed localities to regulate these vehicles. That would have put the kibosh on their expansion in major metro areas if individual localities could limit or forbid them on local streets.
Canada’s food industry has become addicted to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). The numbers tell a sobering story.
In just a few months of enforcement data — from July to late September 2025 — the federal government has listed 26 food-related employers found non-compliant with federal rules governing the program. That’s everything from oyster farms to sushi restaurants, cafes, and food processors. That’s nearly 40% of all companies fined during that period.
How serious is US President Donald J. Trump about his peace plan? While everyone is eager to celebrate the successful completion of Phase One, with the return of the Israeli hostages in exchange for 2,000 imprisoned Palestinian terrorists, the rest remains to be seen.
The Trump Peace Plan began as an ultimatum: If Hamas would not release all the hostages within 72 hours, Israel would have the blessing of the US to “finish the job” full blast.
OTTAWA — Federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser says he supports the continuation of birthright citizenship, calling it a bedrock of equal rights, in response to a Conservative MP’s push to end the practice.
“I believe that we should maintain birthright citizenship in Canada, and I don’t know if I can be any more direct than that,” Fraser told reporters on his way to a Liberal caucus meeting on Wednesday.
Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) revealed that left-wing funders such as billionaire Neville Roy Singham were behind left-wing Antifa riots and protests.
During a roundtable event on Antifa with President Donald Trump, Bruner explained that he, GAI President Peter Schweizer, and their team “followed” a trail of money and “followed it to the top of what” they called the Protest Industrial Complex, or Riot Inc. Bruner explained that the so-called “Riot Inc.” was made up of many different divisions, and that “dozens of radical organizations” have received millions of dollars from Riot Inc.
Four in five Canadians surveyed believe boycotting U.S.-made goods or avoiding travel to the United States could help strengthen Canada’s bargaining position with its southern neighbour, according to a new Nanos Research survey commissioned by CTV News.
The poll found 80 per cent of Canadians think such boycotts would be “helpful or somewhat helpful” in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. Fewer than one in five respondents, or 18 per cent, said they believe it would be not helpful or somewhat not helpful.
A lot of Canadians voted for Carney as well …
