Ontario signs contract to import electricity from U.S.

Ontario signs contract to import electricity from U.S.

Only weeks after Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut off electricity exports to the United States as retaliation in the ongoing trade war, Ontario has signed a contract to import electricity from New York state through the winter.

The 600-megawatt contract starting Nov. 1 will provide power to compensate for “facility maintenance,” the Independent Electricity System Operator said in its announcement of the deal, without being more specific.

The Pickering nuclear plant was shut down in September for a multi-year refurbishment and this contract will partially replace its emissions-free electricity with carbon-intensive power from oil- and gas-fired plants.

Milei adviser claims UK being ‘colonised by Islam’ as Falklands row grows

Milei adviser claims UK being ‘colonised by Islam’ as Falklands row grows

The chief adviser to Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, has cited the election of Sagal Abdi-Wali to the UK parliament as evidence of the Islamisation of Britain and further reason for Argentina to take sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

In a post on social media, Santiago Caputo, who is reportedly taking a key role in Argentina’s strategy over the Falklands, suggested that the taking of the south Atlantic islands was necessary to prevent the “interference of an Islamic state” in the region.

Milei shared Caputo’s post on the social media platform X.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau didn’t see Justin Trudeau as a PM: ‘I knew it was his job, but come on’

During her time as Canada’s unofficial first lady, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau said she never saw her “former partner as a prime minister.”

“I knew it was his job, but come on,” the soon-to-be 52-year-old told Talia Bronfman and Jessica Green, hosts of Canadian podcast Built For This, in a recent episode.

“Like snap out of every role you’re in, because if you believe it for half a second you’re doomed, and including celebrity.”

How State Prosecutors Can Send Tony Fauci To Rot In Prison

How State Prosecutors Can Send Tony Fauci To Rot In Prison

After an eight-month cyber hunt, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. found Anthony Fauci’s private diary on HHS servers. Sen. Rand Paul has released all 1,100-plus pages of it. And that Fauci diary — paired with my own memoir of the pandemic — provides some of the very best evidence for the case that makes up the title of my new book: Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison.

The four questions I ask are the same that would be asked of any chief executive who financed a dangerous experiment overseas, learned that a catastrophe killing millions might trace back to it, and then helped construct a public story pointing anywhere but back at himself: What did Fauci know? When did he know it? What did he do next? And who died because of it?

Escape From Rotherham

Escape From Rotherham

Rotherham. Their rape gang scandal first came to public attention in the 1990s. I don’t recall where I read about it first, but what took place was more than shocking. Young British girls, almost all underage, many not even teens, were systematically drugged; groomed; and violently, serially gang-raped by men of Pakistani heritage. Many if not most of the perpetrators were second-generation immigrants. Let’s just say they didn’t assimilate very well.

Rotherham was the face of this insanity, and for a while it was reported here (not enough), but not much in Britain. Rarely by the British media.

The French school riots are the rage of the entitled

The French school riots are the rage of the entitled

It is wrong to attribute the French protests involving teenagers solely to the ‘New France’ – that is, non-European migrants who hold French identity cards but, in many cases, reject the French way of life. This unrest is not simply a clash between immigrants and France, or between Islam and European civilisation, as Donald Trump has tried to portray it. It is worse than that. Around the barricades and blockades, immigrants and white French teenagers are rising up together – against reality, work and excellence. Two forms of decadence and entitlement are singing in unison.
