Elon Musk Blasts Both Barrels, Reloads, and Fires Again

Elon Musk certainly knows how to grab you by the eyeballs and make you listen as he drops truth bombs on you. He may be the most interesting man in the world, although he doesn’t have quite the dashing good looks and smooth demeanor of the Dos Equis man.

As an autist, he doesn’t have the kind of slick charm and devilish demeanor of a Svengali who can charm you into anything. He has, instead, a keen intellect, an almost-charming bluntness, and an ability to see into dimensions of reality that are invisible to most of us.

Iran rejects latest cease-fire proposal as Trump considers ‘massive attack’: report

Iran reportedly rejected a new cease-fire deal Thursday that was presented by Iraq’s prime minister on behalf of President Trump.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi – fresh off a White House visit and Oval Office meeting with Trump – brought the proposed deal with him to Tehran and presented it to top Iranian officials, who refused to entertain the proposal, according to the New York Times.

The terms of the rejected truce are unclear, but Iranian officials described it as the “only offer on the table” and a “temporary deal” that did not resolve the question of who would control the Strait of Hormuz, the outlet reported.

Canadian government urged to block data-sharing deal between Thomson Reuters and US ICE

A Canadian federal opposition party leader is calling on the Mark Carney government to block the latest data-sharing deal between US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Canadian media giant Thomson Reuters.

Avi Lewis, the federal leader of the New Democratic party (NDP), demanded on Tuesday that Ottawa address the contract and further restrict Canadian corporations from doing business with ICE, after Canada’s National Observer reported on the deal.

“My blood ran cold when I read about this development,” he added in a statement to the Guardian. “Complicity between Canadian corporations and ICE should absolutely be illegal.”

Media Hacks Still Struggling With World Cup Ruining Their ‘America Is Awful’ Shtick

The recently-concluded World Cup was a revelation for me in so many ways. As it began, I decided that I was going to relax and enjoy as much of it as I could. My initial motivation was that I wanted to use it as a bonding thing with my daughter and her longtime boyfriend, who is really, really into soccer. He grew up playing soccer with one of the guys on the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT). I also reasoned that there is plenty to be annoyed at in the world, so all diversions are welcome.

N.B. RCMP investigate possible hate crime as assault video circulates online

As video of a woman being assaulted in Moncton, N.B., circulates online, police say they’re investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

Codiac Regional RCMP responded to reports of a fight involving multiple people in a parking lot on Mountain Road around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

It’s a shame that the woman was assaulted assuming the video is an accurate depiction of events. But Canadians are fed up with their country being used as dumping ground for incompatible cultures. You know who you are. https://t.co/UEbtkQPL3X

Socialist Spain Now ‘Gateway‘ for Chinese Vehicles Flooding Europe

Existing Chinese vehicle manufacturing plants in Spain have turned the country into a “gateway” for Chinese vehicles into Europe, local outlets stated.

The growing arrival and continued penetration of Chinese automakers in European Union markets is a now years-long phenomenon across the regional bloc. It is reportedly estimated Chinese brands represent a majority of the 27 new vehicle brands on sale in Spain and in other European countries, with Chinese vehicles accounting for nearly ten percent of all sales in Europe.

What’s the economic benefit of a bridge? Gordie Howe by the numbers

After 25 years of planning, seven years of construction and months of delays, the first trucks are finally set to roll over the Gordie Howe bridge on Monday.

In tow will be some of the billions of dollars worth of goods that pass through the Windsor-Detroit corridor, which the bridge will help get to their destinations faster — saving time and money.

“There’s a tremendous opportunity here in dollar terms, but also in terms of what our future looks like, just embodied in that one bridge,” said Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Concordia University who studies international trade.

Trump Is Losing Patience Over an Iran War With No Clear End in Sight

WASHINGTON—President Trump was fed up.

During a recent meeting in the Oval Office, he launched into a tirade against Iranian leaders, calling them scumbags and lunatics, and unleashing a series of expletives, according to a person who heard the comments.

As the war in Iran enters its fifth month, Trump is increasingly frustrated that a conflict he once thought would be over in a matter of weeks has dragged on with no end in sight, administration officials and others close to the president said.

The CBC continues to gaslight conservatives, even after its near-death experience

The CBC has learned nothing since it stood on the precipice and stared down its annihilation at the hands of a Conservative government.

Last month, Pollara released its annual Trust in Media survey, revealing the CBC’s net trust score among Conservative voters is now just +9, compared to +78 among Liberal voters—the widest trust gap of any Canadian outlet. Conservative trust dropped 13 points in just three years.

‘Forced labour’ rationale for Trump tariffs met with bewilderment

Donald Trump has once again inspired anger and confusion in US allies and trading partners as he imposed a wave of tariffs on more than 80 countries, replacing an expiring global duty introduced earlier this year.

The new measures effectively replace blanket 10% tariffs that Trump imposed in February. The US supreme court ruled many of those were illegal. The new levies come in at between 10% and 12.5% on countries including the UK, Mexico, Canada, Australia, India, China and the 27 countries that make up the EU.

Carney’s bewildered because his ChiCom pals are big on slave labour.

Carney says he ‘should have lied better’ about new Gordie Howe bridge agreement

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he “imperfectly” described the new deal to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge after the text of the agreement appeared to contradict his original explanation.

While attending the Calgary Stampede shortly after the deal was struck — but before the text was made public — Carney told CTV that bridge toll revenue would only be split with the U.S. after accounting for operating costs, including repaying the debt.

But that suggestion seemed to contradict the text of the agreement, which was only made public late Tuesday and made no reference to Canada’s debt.

He lied deliberately but this time his media misinformation apparatus couldn’t cover it up.

Michael Higgins: It’s not reconciliation when law societies exaggerate anomalies as ‘graves’

Making criminals out of people who merely ask questions about the residential school system is not the path to reconciliation, says B.C. lawyer Jim Heller.

Goodwill and open dialogue are needed far more than trying to imprison people under a “denialism” law, according to Heller, whose defamation suit against his own law society over potential graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School was recently settled.
