Federal government moves to cut China out of Canadian critical mineral industry

Justin & Frankie Champagne

After a national security review, Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne is ordering three Chinese resource companies to sell their interests in Canadian critical mineral firms.

Champagne’s order comes less than a week after he said Canada would be limiting the involvement of foreign state-owned companies in the industry.

… Chengze Lithium International Ltd. is required to divest its interests in Lithium Chile Inc., a company headquartered in Calgary with more than a dozen lithium projects underway in Chile.

And Zangge Mining Investment is ordered to sell its investment in Ultra Lithium Inc., a Vancouver-based resource development firm with lithium and gold projects in both Canada and Argentina.

How successful can they be against mining interests physically located in foreign countries?

Flagged for posting about walrus meat? Social media ‘violations’ discriminatory, says former Nunavut MLA

“My favourite food! Walrus! I would pay anyone to get me some!”

Former Nunavut MLA Manitok Thompson was expressing her excitement on Twitter when the 12-word tweet was flagged for violating the rules.

It was called “excessively graphic media” and Twitter issued a notice saying exposure to gratuitous gore can be harmful, “especially if the content is posted with intent to delight in cruelty or for sadistic pleasure.”

Thompson was in shock. She had to delete her post to remain on the platform.

GUNTER: Using Emergencies Act shows Liberals are out of touch

There is a link between the Rouleau Commission and the Trudeau Liberals’ internet censorship law that is currently being debated in the Senate.

The overreaction of the Trudeau government to last winter’s Freedom Convoy (which has been very much on display at Justice Paul Rouleau’s ongoing inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act), and the government’s justification for Bill C-11 both show the Liberals neither understand nor trust ordinary Canadians.

They used the Emergencies Act because they are in touch – they know damn well they are reviled by decent Canadians nationwide.

Russian commanders discussed using nuclear arms in Ukraine, says US

Senior Russian military leaders discussed last month how and when they might use nuclear weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine, two US officials have told CBS News.

Vladimir Putin was not involved in the talks, they told the BBC’s US partner.

The White House said it had grown “increasingly concerned” about the potential use of nuclear weapons over the last few months.

But it stressed the US saw no sign of Russia preparing for such use.

Quebec premier says province can’t take in more immigrants after feds set lunatic 500K target

Quebec Premier François Legault is maintaining that the province cannot accept more than 50,000 immigrants a year despite Ottawa’s plans to significantly raise the country’s immigration levels.

The federal government, Legault told reporters Wednesday, needs to understand that Quebec is facing a “special challenge” to preserve the French language.

Transgender criminal makes history by appearing in court as both a man and a woman

Offences committed Alan and Alannah Morgan – the same person – heard at Dundee court

A person who hurled pizza and a skateboard during a series of public order offences has broken new legal ground by appearing in court as both a man and a woman on the same day.

The 50-year-old was put on a Restriction of Liberty Order for three months in Scotland as a result of offences committed as both Alan and as Alannah Morgan over the past 18 months.

The accused, who has a long list of previous convictions, was addressed as Alannah Morgan when appearing in the dock at Dundee Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Americans BACK the end of affirmative action and want race kept out of college admissions, new poll suggests: Supreme Court now widely-expected to ban it

Americans by wide margins don’t want colleges considering race when they pick students — polling that suggests Americans would get behind the Supreme Court overruling affirmative action policies.

A YouGov survey found that 54 percent of adults in the US were against universities considering race as a factor in selecting applicants — even as part of efforts to boost diversity on campus.

That far outweighs the 23 percent who wanted admissions tutors to use race to guide selections, and similar numbers who were unsure. Democrats were much more supportive of affirmative action policies than were Republicans.

Thank a woke racist for this wonderful news.

The tyranny of a Covid amnesty

A self-righteous cabal has delivered a public that is sicker and poorer

I spent the last days of innocence before Trump and Brexit heavily pregnant. Like many first-time mums, I read a lot of pregnancy books, but the one I liked most was Expecting Better. Written by Emily Oster, an economist, the book sifts carefully through many of the dire warnings doled out to pregnant women about food, drink, birth choices, and so on, assessing the evidence for each.

The climate change cult and the war on the mind

THERE is an organisation called the Climate Psychology Alliance. Again, they wish to use their expertise in the field of psychology to nudge people into believing in their world view of climate-induced, impending doom.

Their website states: ‘It is now widely accepted that facts and information about the risk of climate change, taken, alone, do not promote change. There is a growing acceptance that the climate change movement could be enriched by incorporating deeper psychological perspectives. But mainstream positivist psychology is often part of the problem, especially when it reduces the human being to an object to be measured, controlled and then harnessed to the profit-making machine that now threatens our collective future.’

The missing plan for alien first contact

Humans are still searching for signs of intelligent alien life on other planets – but how would we react towards it if we ever did make contact?

According to many of our cultural touchstones, there’s only one thing for it if extraterrestrials ever take a cosmic detour to our planet: heavy artillery fire.

But from the sugary 1980s blockbuster ET the Extra-Terrestrial and the decades of Star Trek episodes to the books of Isaac Asimov and Ursula K Le Guin, science fiction writers have long wrangled with the question: how would we really treat them?

In popular culture, extraterrestrials are often cast as second-class citizens or less than human. If it weren’t for the intervention of ET’s human friend, the titular alien would have been cut open on an operating room table. In the 2009 film District 9, millions of alien “prawns” are packed into South African slums – an allegory for human bigotry and cruelty in real life.

Greta Thunberg: It’s time to overthrow the West’s oppressive and racist capitalist system

From a climate change campaigner to presenting a new far-Left political agenda against “racist” capitalism – meet the new Greta Thunberg.

The 19-year-old Swedish activist has announced that as well as tackling her usual area of climate action and awareness-spreading, she has now thrown her weight behind defeating the West’s “oppressive” capitalist system.

Calling for a “system-wide transformation” at her book launch in London, she claimed that the world’s current “normal” – dictated by the people in power – has caused the climate breakdown.

Joe Biden is decomposing right before our eyes

Currently, Democrat hopes of retaining the House and gaining in the Senate are circling the drain. Therefore, party leaders have apparently decided that trotting Biden out now for campaign appearances can’t cause any more harm and might even help some candidates. That’s probably a miscalculation. The last couple of days has revealed that Biden’s brain is decomposing even as his body lives on. On the mic, in real-time, he’s telling lies, fictionalizing his own life, and spewing unintelligible nonsense. Meanwhile, his White House put out an economic tweet so vile that, thanks to Elon Musk’s new Twitter policies, the White House was quickly forced to pull it.

Bad Sign: The People Musk Just Consulted About Fighting ‘Hate’ Aren’t Exactly Free Speech Advocates

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has shaken the fascist Left to its core; nothing seems to be more frightening to Leftists than the prospect of free and open discourse. But the euphoria among patriots and fear and rage among Leftists may both have been premature: Musk announced early Wednesday morning that he had talked with a group of “civil society leaders” about how “Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies.”

Watch what he does, not what he says.
