Alberta is releasing an emissions reduction plan on Wednesday premised on the idea that the province, not Ottawa, is best positioned to implement environmental policies. For the first time, the province as a whole will have a goal of being carbon neutral by 2050 – the same aim as major oil sands producers, and the federal commitment for all of Canada.
Trying to pick a side in the public servants’ strike? Here’s how I break the situation down.
While not normally the biggest fan of public sector unions, I have to say that the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s position is reasonable, in most respects. The exception is the 30-per-cent increase that 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees are seeking. The number is so ridiculous it’s not even worth examining.
An undercover video released Wednesday by Project Veritas revealed that doctors in Texas and New York are routinely prescribing puberty blockers to children as young as eight years old.
“We do have patients who are starting as young as eight, nine,” a social worker at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Texas explained to one Veritas reporter who went undercover as a parent exploring transition services for his ten-year-old child. “We have a list of gender affirming therapists that we can provide.”
It would be funny were it not so incredibly pathetic. A county-run drug counseling center for homeless drug addicts in Portland had to be shut down and some of its employees were dumped because of drug use and “inappropriate relations” between employees. In other words, a drug and sex scandal shut down the Multnomah County Behavioral Health Resource Center.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allegedly directed operatives to exploit the death of George Floyd and spread anti-democracy messages on U.S. social media platforms, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed on Monday.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged thirty-four Chinese National Police Officers on Monday with allegedly perpetrating a transnational repression scheme targeting United States residents. The DOJ alleges the defendants committed conspiracy to transmit interstate or foreign threats.
Working to plan with the Liberal Party.
The remedies are agreed upon, but the needed medicine is feared more than the disease. Because today, the government is the cause of our many crises.
Twenty-first-century America was on a trajectory of gradual decline—until it began to implode.
Was the accelerant the COVID-19 pandemic and unhinged lockdowns? Or was the catalyst the woke revolution fueled by the 2020 summer of exempted rioting, looting, arson, and violence? Or was it perhaps the deranged fixation on removing Donald Trump from the presidency and destroying the rule of law in the process? Or all that and more?
India is poised to overtake China to become the most populous country in history in the next three months.
According to new data from the United Nations population fund (UNFPA), India’s population will be 1.4286 billion by the middle of the year compared with 1.4257 billion for China, a gap of 2.9 million.
The country in third place, the United States, is more than a billion people behind with 340 million people.
Talk of a game-changing ‘spring offensive’ and retaking Crimea is wishful
The recent Pentagon leaks have confirmed what many already suspected — that Ukraine is facing a much more uphill struggle than the Western narrative would have us believe. They have revealed, in particular, severe “deficiencies” in Ukraine’s munition supplies. The country’s units are burning through artillery ammunition at such a lightning-fast pace — some 7,700 shells per day, or roughly one every six seconds, according to a Ukrainian source — that they are outrunning Western manufacturing capacity and have even begun to ration shells. Meanwhile, the Russian military is said to be firing about 20,000 artillery rounds a day — three times as much.
Sorry, wrong race. Try losing the love of your life while being black next time.
The cases of Ralph Yarl and Kaylin Gillis are all over the news now.
Both Ralph and Kaylin were shot by elderly homeowners who were overreacting to what they may have thought were trespassers.
Both cases are in the news. But they’re getting a very different treatment. One guess as to why.
Why all the fuss about Twitter describing the CBC as “government-funded media”? The CBC is government-funded media. It matters little if it’s 69 per cent or 70 per cent It’s a simple fact that it is majority government funded.
It doesn’t mean it’s bad quality media. It doesn’t mean that its journalists are incompetent (some of the best journalists I’ve met in my long career work for the CBC). It doesn’t mean that all of its shows are lousy. It doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t continue. It just means that it’s a government-owned creation of Parliament, not a private outfit.
The so-called racial reckoning of 2020 has had an extraordinary impact on the US. Barely a single institution was left untouched by the Black Lives Matter juggernaut. We can see this in the meteoric rise of affirmative action. Meritocracy is out and racial preferences are in – everywhere from universities to major corporations. All too often nowadays, people are openly judged on the basis of their race, rather than on their qualities and qualifications.
You won’t read this on the front page or even hear it discussed; but, over the last few weeks, we have seen significant economic moves against the West.
This has, indirectly, and concerningly, security implications.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, the United Arab Emirates, countless African nations, and even France have turned against the United States and its allies, via the US dollar.
Is Jagmeet Singh a fool? It may not be our most important public policy question today, which would be something like “Is Canada’s Prime Minister a Chinese Communist pawn?” or “Is liberalism the ideology of Western suicide?” But it keeps coming up, most recently when the NDP voted with the Liberals to shut down a Parliamentary committee inquiry into CCP donations to the Trudeau Foundation. And it matters whether public events are driven primarily by cunning or folly.
Singh is a grifter nothing more.
Islamophobia widespread in Canada, early findings of Senate committee study indicate
Islamophobia and violence against Muslims is widespread and deeply entrenched in Canadian society, early findings from a Senate committee studying the issue indicate.
Muslim women who wear hijabs – Black Muslim women in particular – are the most vulnerable, and confronting Islamophobia in a variety of public spheres is difficult, the committee on human rights has found.
“Canada has a problem,” committee chair Sen. Salma Ataullahjan said in a phone interview with The Canadian Press.
TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told NATO officials privately that Canada will never meet the military alliance’s defense spending target, according to a leaked secret Pentagon assessment obtained by The Washington Post. The document’s anonymous authors say Canada’s “widespread” military deficiencies are harming ties with security partners and allies.
