We need to destroy the environment for mass immigration says Doug Ford

Doug Ford says housing on protected Greenbelt needed due to rising immigration

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is justifying his proposal to remove land from the environmentally protected Greenbelt in order to build homes by saying the housing crisis has worsened and will become more dire because of increased immigration.

Ford says he welcomes a recent federal government announcement that it is seeking to boost immigration levels, bringing in 500,000 people in 2025.

But, he says, if hundreds of thousands of additional newcomers a year start arriving in Ontario, there isn’t going to be anywhere to house them.

The left should love him.

‘A new low’: ‘Woke’ Twitter employee cries that he ‘got fired while sleeping’

Some now-fired Twitter employees are unintentionally making headlines left and right over their post-termination behavior, including their crying and whining.

Now on one hand, it’s very understandable that these former employees are upset. Being fired is a horrible experience. But on the other hand, say critics, these employees were responsible for God knows how many Americans being silenced and censored.

Stolen $3bn Bitcoin mystery ends with popcorn tin discovery

The US Department of Justice has revealed it seized $3.36bn (£2.9bn) of Bitcoin last year which was stolen from an infamous darknet website.

The stash of 50,676 Bitcoin was found hidden on various devices in a hacker’s home in an underfloor safe and inside a popcorn tin.

James Zhong has pleaded guilty to hacking the funds in 2012 from the illegal Silk Road marketplace.

US authorities say the seizure is the second largest in history.

‘Unprecedented’ global chip shortage pushing electric vehicle delays into years

When Jesse Chiasson called a car dealership last month to buy a new vehicle, he ended up paying $1,000 to be put on a waitlist instead.

“The salesman was pretty vague but hinted it could be 2024 by the time we get the car,” Chiasson said in an interview from Bathurst, N.B.

“Worst-case scenario, we could be waiting as long as three years.”

Ottawa ‘assessing next steps’ on whether to pay if Twitter charges for verification

The Canadian government is “assessing next steps” in deciding whether it will pay to keep its Twitter accounts verified, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed on Monday.

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently purchased Twitter for $44 billion, and has since pledged to make major changes to the way the company hands out its blue checkmarks — the badge that identifies users as the real deal, not an impersonation or fake.

Pollsters Have ‘No F*cking Idea What’s Going to Happen’ This Election

If the pollsters and handicappers end up being spectacularly wrong on Election Night, there’s one group that won’t be too surprised: the pollsters and handicappers themselves.

The 2022 midterms could go exactly as modeled—a 20-some-odd-seat pickup for Republicans in the House and maybe a 51-49 GOP Senate—but the people who watch these races the closest are also warning they might be wrong in decisive ways. In either direction.

No one really knows because, like every election, pollsters are extrapolating their best guess based on a set of assumptions. But unlike previous elections, the assumptions are getting bigger.

COP27: A meaningless ritual for China and India

Last week, Greta Thunberg called the COP27 climate meeting a “scam” that provides a platform for “greenwashing, lying, and cheating.” The teenage climate activist is probably right — for a change.

Many European countries that pledged at past meetings to move away from coal, oil, and natural gas have been unable to keep their promises. In the case of developing countries that depend heavily on hydrocarbons, the charade is even more apparent. For them, the meetings have become a ritual of going through the motions of green orthodoxy while intending to increase consumption of the fossil fuels necessary to sustain their economies.

Oregon woman, 32, with long history of mental health problems now sues carers for green-lighting her ‘woman-to-man’ double mastectomy that was FAST-TRACKED after brief Zoom sessions

Gender Mengeles

An Oregon woman is suing carers for approving her woman-to-man breast removal surgery after only brief Zoom meetings, blasting an ‘abhorrent misdiagnosis’ that left her ‘mutilated’ and unable to breastfeed.

Camille Kiefel says she quickly regretted getting a double mastectomy in August 2020, and that clinicians at two Oregon centers for gender-affirming care shouldn’t have green-lighted the procedure.

The 32-year-old is suing social worker Amy Ruff, mental health therapist Mara Burmeister, other unnamed medics, and Brave Space Oregon and the Quest Center for Integrative Health — two Portland-based centers for trans care.

This is good news. It was Mengele level butchery.

BBC caused ‘significant distress’ to Jewish community with false anti-Muslim claims

The BBC caused “significant distress” to the Jewish community when it reported that students targeted in an anti-Semitic incident had used anti-Muslim slurs, Ofcom has ruled.

The watchdog found the BBC guilty of “significant editorial failings”.

The group of Jewish young people was targeted as their bus travelled along Oxford Street in central London, with footage showing men on the pavement performing Nazi salutes, spitting and punching the windows.

West Coast Blues

Progressives in California, Oregon, and Washington confront the political consequences of bad governance.

Few regions have been more consistently Democratic than the West Coast. Even compared with the Northeast, where Republicans occasionally win governors’ offices, the appropriately named “left coast” has been adamantine in its progressivism. Republicans haven’t won statewide office in California in years; in Oregon, it’s decades. Washington has elected a Republican secretary of state, but she now serves in the Biden administration. And the region’s major cities are overwhelmingly blue.

Corporations And Advertisers, Stop Falling For The Left’s ‘Anti-Hate’ Scam

It’s one of the great scams perpetrated on the country — ‘anti-hate’ groups that are nothing more than liberal slush funds with a mission to morally shake down companies and corporations.

If all of Twitter comes crashing down under its new ownership, I’ll sleep just like I did after hearing that half the company’s workforce had been laid off — which is to say, soundly. But the news last week that a bunch of companies are halting their paid advertisements on Twitter is a big problem.

New company CEO Elon Musk himself said Friday that “activist groups” were “pressuring advertisers” against buying promotional space on Twitter. Among the companies withholding their dollars are giants like General Motors, General Mills, and pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

How the media whitewashed Isis brides

These women deserve punishment, not rehabilitation

“Send the money now brother, we can’t wait. We are living with the Kafir [infidel] pigs.” This was one of hundreds of text messages I received in 2020 from Isis women living in Syria’s miserable al-Hol prison camp. As part of an investigation into Isis’s finances, I was posing as a lapsed British Muslim who had read about their plight and wanted to help.

Environmentalism has become a creepy bourgeois cult

Those deranged Just Stop Oil activists reveal the dangers of apocalypticism.

We need to stop calling Just Stop Oil a protest group. Protesters is far too positive a word to describe this strange assemblage of middle-class agitators, with their cut-glass accents and self-parodying bohemian names (shouts out to Indigo Rumbelow), who have been gluing themselves to roads and throwing soup at great works of art in an attempt to end oil and gas production. This thing is a doomsday cult, masquerading as a political campaign. There’s really no denying it any longer.
