Trudeau puts cash behind Indo-Pacific pledges during visit to Southeast Asia summit

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a slew of funding announcements in Cambodia on Saturday aimed at deepening economic and academic ties with Southeast Asia, after decades of sporadic engagement with the region.

“This is a generational shift,” Trudeau told leaders gathered in Phnom Penh for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

“I am announcing concrete investments that are part of our commitment to this relationship,” he said, before listing $333 million in new funding.

What a shitty assed punk. People will be worried whether to heat or eat this winter and Justin is out masturbating with their money.

Mittel-kaput? German industry stares into the abyss

Facing a prolonged energy crisis, many German firms face the unpleasant option of either shutting down or relocating elsewhere.

FRANKFURT — Is this the beginning of the end for German industry?

Europe’s manufacturing powerhouse is set to scrape by this winter thanks to gas reserves built up over the last eight months, avoiding an energy blackout.

But a darker scenario lurks just over the horizon, as high energy prices and lower gas reserves could conspire to trigger a wave of shutdowns among mid-sized companies unable to weather the storm as larger firms with deeper pockets seek safer economic ground in other countries.

Woke multiculturalism is national suicide: Canada is proof

In 1988, Canada officially became a multicultural country. “Did Canada culturally commit suicide?” a Catholic writer now wonders.

“Let’s not be surprised: for some years Canadian elites have dreamed of this scenario, hoping to make Canada a country of one hundred million inhabitants by the end of the century and they have just gone from dream to action”, writes Mathieu Bock-Coté, the sociologist star of French TV. “500,000 immigrants a year correspond to Canada’s vision of itself, a post-national country without an identity. The only identity is his cult of multiculturalism, which it presents as a celebration of diversity, which can even lead ot to pay homage to the niqab. Canada is engaged in an unprecedented ideological experience ”.

Biden’s DOJ raids home of Area 51 researcher, holds girlfriend at gunpoint: report

Joe Biden’s Department of Justice sent agents to raid the homes of Joerg Arnu, a Rachel, Nevada man who runs a website dedicated to information about Area 51. Arnu described the raids as “humiliating” and that the feds “held his girlfriend at gunpoint.”

Local news reporter George Knapp broke the story Thursday on Twitter and wrote, “FBI agents came down hard on the operator of a popular website devoted to all things Area 51-its programs, lore, and legacy. More than a dozen agents served a no-knock warrant on the Rachel, NV home of Joerg Arnu, owner of dreamlandresort.com

The Bank of Canada is warning Canadians to brace for a rough winter

For years now, central banks around the world have helped consumers and businesses weather economic storms. In crisis after crisis, they cut interest rates to help people get through. They printed money and bought bonds to prop up markets.

This time, those same banks are actively making life more difficult.

“I’m sure some of this does feel a bit counterintuitive,” said Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem.

I get the impression Tiff really enjoys his work.

Predatory Unions planned insurrection to counter Ford’s use of notwithstanding clause

Unions planned nationwide protests to counter Ford’s use of notwithstanding clause

Before Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he would rescind his use of the notwithstanding clause to ban an education union from striking, labour leaders discussed a potential nationwide protest that would have temporarily shut down not just the province’s auto plants, but the country’s ports and even the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island.

In the end, the full-scale show of force never happened. It was called off last Monday after Mr. Ford and his Education Minister, Stephen Lecce, decided they would back down.

Sounds like an insurrection to me.

Amazon’s new ‘Sparrow’ robot threatens to take warehouse worker jobs

Amazon unveiled its new ‘Sparrow’ sorting robot that could soon replace some human workers in its warehouses.

The robot is designed to identify and sort specific products along Amazon’s fulfillment line, a task that previously could only be done by humans.

“Sparrow is the first robotic system in our warehouses that can detect, select, and handle individual products in our inventory,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement alongside the product’s debut during Amazon’s Delivering The Future conference near Boston on Thursday.

Behind-the-scenes moments are being revealed at the Emergencies Act inquiry. Will they add up to a story Canadians can support?

… So how much closer are Canadians to an answer to the big question: was the federal government justified in invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time?

The answer is, they’re not close to an answer. Or maybe not yet.

Arctic power play: High north and high stakes

On a cloudy day in September, Commander Nicole Robichaud looked ahead to the deep, blue water of the Arctic Ocean from the bridge of a brand new ship. Whitecaps and floating sea ice dotted the horizon.

The sixty-five crew members and sailors with the Royal Canadian Navy, were on board HMCS Margaret Brooke, one of six new icebreaker ships in Canada’s Arctic fleet. They travelled through some of the earth’s most unforgiving waters at the northernmost edge of North America.

The stark effects of the climate crisis and changing geopolitical landscape have created new threats in the Arctic. As the sea ice melts, previously impassable routes through the region and access to long-hidden natural resources are opening up.

Mexico uses footage of homeless people and drug addicts from PHILADELPHIA in ads to scare young people away from substance abuse

The Mexican government is using video of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s troubled Kensington neighborhood in a national ad campaign to try to scare young people away from drugs.

Jesús Ramírez, the spokesman for Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, proudly presented the ad series Tuesday, saying the campaign ‘seeks to inform young people of the damage caused to health by the consumption of chemical drugs.’

Ramírez did not respond to repeated requests for comment as to where the government got the Philadelphia videos or why they used them in ads aimed at a Mexican audience.
