GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s targets for cutting greenhouse gases fit the definition of insanity

After almost four decades of Canadian governments setting and failing to hit eight consecutive targets for reducing Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions, surely it’s time to admit the targets are meaningless.

Far from being “aspirational” as supporters claim, they in fact deceive Canadians about the effectiveness of federal spending of more than $200 billion of taxpayers’ money on climate change (as of 2023) on 149 federal programs administered by 13 government departments, since the Liberal government came to power in 2015.

Pierre Poilievre’s political exile is expected to end within days. Then the real fight begins

OTTAWA—The safest assumption in Canadian politics right now is that Pierre Poilievre is going to win Monday’s federal byelection in Battle River—Crowfoot.

In interviews this week with Conservative insiders, in most every pundit’s analysis, and in the strategizing of politicos of all stripes, it’s taken as a given: the Tory leader will be back in the House of Commons for the fall sitting of Parliament. After all, since he lost in April’s general election the riding he represented on Ottawa’s suburban-rural fringe for 20 years, Poilievre is now running in a sprawling Alberta constituency that polling expert Éric Grenier has deemed “one of the safest Conservative seats in all of Canada.” His short-lived parliamentary exile is almost certainly coming to an end.

Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism

DALLAS — Just after dusk on July 5, the crash of wood and metal suddenly reverberated through a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood here known as The Bottoms. Neighbors peered out to see a small army of men in desert camouflage and tactical vests crouched behind a black armored vehicle, shouting commands toward a brick house.

A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said.

“It was weird enough that six or seven White, trans people moved into the neighborhood,” said a neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. He rolled a joint and gazed at the plywood-covered front window: “And now the FBI is raiding their house.”

Carney praises Trump as ministers jet to Sweden to talk defence deals

Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

Carney’s public endorsement of Trump’s leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said.

RUBENSTEIN: Is indigenous approval now mandatory?

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Prime Minister Mark Carney “revised” his first major Parliamentary bill as Canada’s leader on August 8, by mandating that industrial projects deemed fit for speedy approval “must” serve the interests of indigenous peoples.

This unilateral reinvention repudiates the legal text of Bill C-5, passed into law on June 26, which only states that indigenous interests “may” or “can” be considered.

White House applauds clearing of ‘silent protest’ anti-abortion campaigner

The Trump administration has applauded Scottish prosecutors’ “sensible decision” to clear an anti-abortion campaigner over her silent protest.

Rose Docherty, 75, was arrested in February after police were called to reports of an anti-abortion protest near the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH), in Glasgow. She had been holding a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”

No Country for Barbie? Muslims Shutting Down Screening Divides French Politics

The latest political scandal in France is just as absurd as it seems: residents of Muslim background had a free public screening of ‘Barbie’ shut down for being offensive to their cultural sensibilities, and anyone who thinks this is problematic is labeled an Islamophobic far-right extremist.

The incident happened in the ‘ethnically-diverse’ Paris suburb of Noisy-le-Sec, where the local council had the idea of providing free film screenings to poorer neighborhoods during the summer. The program would have been successful were it not for the apparently ‘poor’ movie choice for last weekend, featuring Greta Gerwig’s 2023 Oscar-winning feminist comedy Barbie.

Patrice Dutil: What Toronto loses with the naming of Sankofa Square

As municipal officials in Toronto get set to host an event inaugurating the newly renamed Sankofa Square (formerly Younge-Dundas Square), it’s worth pondering what could have been.

The word “Sankofa” is not organic, it does not grow out of the Torontonian experience and it is not authentic. Nor it is even original: in the United States, there are endless shops, schools, arts centres and community organizations named after the concept.

Racists renamed Dundas Square after African Slavers to insult White Canadians and Canada’s heritage.

Conservatives Urge Parliamentary Probe Into Government Spending on Repatriating Canadian ISIS Women

The Conservative Party is calling for the parliamentary public safety committee to investigate the federal government’s expenditure of at least $170,000 on repatriating from Syria Canadian women who had joined the ISIS terrorist group.

The letter signed by Conservative MPs asks the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security to convene immediately and investigate Global News’ reporting showing that Ottawa spent more than $170,000 for returning the eight women who had previously travelled to Syria to join ISIS.
