Here’s what would happen if Canada joined the European Union

In the face of uncertainty about Canada’s relationship with the United States, some have been proposing an alternative path: backing away from the Americans a bit and joining the European Union.

The 27-state economic and political group includes a variety of countries with which Canada already has close economic, historic and political ties, including France and Germany. Notably, however, the United Kingdom, the country to which Canada perhaps owes its largest debt, left the EU in 2020.

The EU is more anti-democratic, more corrupt, woke and crazy than the Liberal government. Hard as that may be to believe.

How Japan sparked Trump’s 40-year love affair with tariffs

When Donald Trump’s fortunes took a downturn in the 90s and he needed to raise cash fast, he sailed his 282ft (85m) superyacht, the Trump Princess, to Asia hoping he could attract Japan’s wealthy.

It wasn’t the first time the businessman had sought out Japanese buyers or lenders for his projects.

In the cut-throat world of New York real estate, Trump had a front-row seat from his Fifth Avenue skyscraper of Tokyo’s buying spree in the 80s of iconic US brands and properties, including Rockefeller Center.

Once a ‘crass mathematical calculation,’ NATO’s spending target is now an article of faith for Liberals

NATO’s two per cent defence spending target, derided only last summer as a “crass mathematical calculation” by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was feverishly embraced this week by the Liberal leadership hopefuls vying to replace him.

The statements represent a remarkable conversion for the governing party, which has looked upon the gross domestic product goal — even under intense allied pressure and the occasional public shaming — as arbitrary and meaningless.

“We’ve always questioned the two per cent as the be-all, end-all of evaluating contributions to NATO,” Trudeau said last July in Washington — after meeting with allied leaders and leading U.S. lawmakers and after belatedly committing to reach the benchmark by 2032.

Liberals lie.

Hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami freed from Hamas captivity in ‘dire’ condition

Released hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, and Ohad Ben Ami crossed the border into Israeli territory on Saturday and arrived at the initial reception point after they were transferred to Israeli forces by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

An initial medical examination reported to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Sheba Medical Center revealed that the former hostages were in serious condition. They appeared starved and may have lost some 30% of their overall weight.

Trump orders South Africa aid freeze, will announce refugee resettlement program for white South African farmers

Witkruis or Plaasmoorde Monument South Africa, each cross a murdered farmer

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday formalizing his announcement earlier this week that he’ll freeze assistance to South Africa for a law aiming to address some of the wrongs of South Africa’s racist apartheid era — a law the White House says amounts to discrimination against the country’s white minority.

“As long as South Africa continues to support bad actors on the world stage and allows violent attacks on innocent disfavored minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance to the country,” the White House said in a summary of the order.

Michael Higgins: Emperor Carney acting like he’s already in charge

When Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, seized control of the state, he liked to boast that he came to power because all of Italy “swore allegiance to me of its own free will.”

Now, the enthronement of Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney as the first emperor of Canada seems all but assured, as ministers, media and minions enthusiastically fawn over him.

Ivison: DEI screening comes before merit questions in Canadian university hiring

Diversity, equity and inclusion policies are “sadly lacking in idea diversity” and are driven by people who believe that racism explains everything, said Mark Milke, founder and president of the Aristotle Foundation on Public Policy.

Milke was talking to John Ivison about a new study of academic hiring practices at Canadian universities undertaken by the Aristotle Foundation.

The study found a near universal use of DEI policies to promote the equality of outcomes in the university system.

Women kept as slaves on HUMAN egg farm: 100 victims fed hormones & treated like cattle, eggs removed & sold by gangsters

Around 100 women were kept as slaves on a human egg farm in Georgia where they were fed hormones and treated like cattle.

Their horrifying ordeal has been revealed by three Thai women who were freed from the clutches of the ‘egg mafia’ on January 30 after being exploited for half a year, tabloid Bild reports.

The woman said they were held captive on a ‘human farm’ in the eastern European country of Georgia by a criminal organisation led by Chinese criminals, who sold their eggs on the black market.

Buffy Sainte-Marie’s Order of Canada terminated by Governor General

Buffy Sainte-Marie’s Order of Canada has been terminated, nearly three decades after she was appointed in 1997.

The announcement comes more than a year after an investigation from CBC’s The Fifth Estate reported that her claims of Indigenous ancestry were inconsistent with publicly available documents.

The investigation, from Oct. 27, 2023, found Sainte-Marie’s birth certificate, which says she was born in 1941 in Massachusetts. The document lists the baby and parents as white and includes a signature of an attending physician — information CBC says is corroborated by Sainte-Marie’s marriage certificate, a life insurance policy and the United States census.

Trump Halts Funding to Build More Electric Vehicle Chargers Nationwide

The Trump administration has frozen funding for a $5 billion program to build a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations.

The Federal Highway Administration sent a letter Thursday to state transportation departments, telling them “no new funding obligations may occur” under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.

The agency said it was suspending approved state implementation plans, which allow states to access NEVI funds automatically allocated through a congressionally created formula. FHA is also pausing approval of new plans; states submit plans annually, describing where and how they plan to build the chargers.

But it seemed like a great plan!

This article is from March 2024 – Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years

New Democrats need a new federal leader

The New Democratic Party is struggling, and in order to turn things around, Jagmeet Singh needs to step down as leader—immediately.

Singh has led the party through two elections in the past eight years. During that time, the NDP has failed to gain seats. They’ve struggled to break above 20 per cent. And Singh’s own favorability has reached an all-time low.

East Hampton Police Assure Wealthy Residents They Won’t Help ICE Deport Local Service Workers

Police in a wealthy enclave outside of New York City are assuring concerned residents that they will not be assisting federal immigration authorities in deporting local service workers.

Local officials in East Hampton, a town in the eastern part of Long Island, met with worried residents earlier this week to discuss President Donald Trump’s mass deportation program and how it might impact their community.

Police chief Michael Sarlo emphasized that officers are not agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and will only execute criminal warrants signed by a judge.
