A diesel shortage south of the border could trickle to Canada causing price spikes combined with an overall rise in prices, says Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, and an 18-year veteran of the House of Commons.
A diesel supply shortage has been gripping the United States of late, with the White House declaring on Oct. 23 that reserves are down to 25 days of supply.
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki was unable to explain text messages from last winter in which she suggested the federal government would ask police for retroactive support of the Emergencies Act and advocated using a messaging app that allows users to delete messages.
The country’s top Mountie spoke with reporters outside a House of Commons committee on Monday in Ottawa but gave few answers to questions.

It’s facing a readiness crisis and underfunding, among other issues
China’s 20th Party Congress concluded on October 23, and President Xi Jinping secured a norm-breaking third term as leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). With the Politburo Standing Committee stacked with close confidants and dissent virtually wiped out, Xi is the strongest he has ever been.
Xi has also redoubled the Party’s commitment to taking the island of Taiwan, by force if necessary. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently said that China “was determined to pursue reunification on a much faster timeline.” The alarm has been repeatedly sounded by American military officials, with speculation that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could occur as soon as 2023.
While the Canadian government and military usually don’t respond to reports of unidentified flying objects, there have been some recent exceptions, including cases where CF-18 fighter jets were scrambled.
This week, the U.S. intelligence community is set to release a new report on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, the term American officials use for what are more commonly known as unidentified flying objects and UFOs. In the U.S., both the Pentagon and NASA are currently researching the topic.
For its part, the Canadian military routinely states that it does “not typically investigate sightings of unknown or unexplained phenomena outside the context of investigating credible threats, potential threats, or potential distress in the case of search and rescue.”
Well at least we’re consistent. Our heads are in the sand as expected.
When your government is spending nearly half a trillion dollars a year, calling a $90 billion deficit prudence, spewing $300 billion for frigates we won’t see for a decade, and taking $5 billion and three decades to fix a building, you might think six grand a night for a hotel room is a bagatelle. The prime minister certainly does, as he sneeringly refuses even to admit it was him.
SHEVCHENKOVE, Ukraine—When Russian armored columns drove into this rural community of 20,000 people on the first day of the invasion, Mayor Valeriy Prykhodko tried to count the tanks, artillery pieces and fighting vehicles that rolled past his windows.
After the first few hundred, he gave up. “It was too big for counting,” Mr. Prykhodko said. “The horror.”
Located some 35 miles from the Russian border, Shevchenkove fell without a fight the afternoon of Feb. 24. In the six months of Russian rule that followed, many locals came to believe that Moscow, with its awe-inspiring military might, would stay here forever.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey’s Islamist president, has been invincible since he burst on the political scene three decades ago. In 1994, he was elected mayor of Istanbul, Turkey’s biggest city. In 2002, he was elected prime minister and, in 2014, president of Turkey. Since 2002, he has not lost a single parliamentary, municipal or presidential election. The dream story, however, may be over in June 2023 when Turks will vote in twin presidential and parliamentary elections.
Turks are suffering. According to the findings of the pollster Optimar, 76.6% of Turks think their top problems are inflation and unemployment.
A US woman who admitted leading an all-female battalion of the Islamic State group (IS) has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Allison Fluke-Ekren, a 42-year-old from Kansas, committed terrorist acts in Iraq, Syria and Libya over an eight-year period.
She also admitted to giving military training to more than 100 women and girls, including some as young as 10.
She pleaded guilty to the charges in June.
It’s a fact that the ladies of ABC’s The View find political violence palatable when it’s Republicans who are the targets and their lives are in danger. But on Tuesday’s show, they were trying to tie Republicans and Fox News to an attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband Paul, claiming “this is on your hands,” falsely suggesting Republicans have not condemned the attack, and demanding people stop speaking badly about Democrats lest they get hurt.
Canada failing Black, Indigenous prisoners as overrepresentation persists: report
Canada has made scant progress in addressing the overrepresentation of Black and Indigenous people in prisons, with some facing even worse conditions than a decade ago, a new report says.
The country’s top prison watchdog says systemic concerns and barriers, including rampant racial discrimination, stereotyping and bias, are “as pervasive and persistent as before.”
Correctional Investigator Ivan Zinger said in a press conference Tuesday that he is disappointed the “extraordinarily well-financed” agency in charge of Canadian prisons has failed to recognize its role in reversing the crisis of overrepresentation.
Evil White Canada forcing the racialized to commit crimes. What a hell on earth.
The Iranian-made drones Russia is using to kill Ukrainians are being powered by Chinese technology, showing that the Communist regime is playing a larger role in the conflict than previously known, according to a watchdog group.
Chinese Communist technology is “enabling Iran to manufacture and supply drones to Russian forces,” according to the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank that closely monitors Iran’s military infrastructure. “It appears that Chinese companies are supplying Iran with copies of Western commodities to produce UAV combat drones.” Components used to power these drones also appear to originate from companies based in the United States and Europe.
New Twitter CEO Elon Musk has made another move to prevent viewpoint discrimination while he sorts out the dumpster fire known as Twitter’s “Trust and Safety” department. Bloomberg reports that employees got locked out of some internal tools used for content moderation
A federal court in New York has charged seven Chinese nationals for harassing and coercing a U.S. resident to return to China as part of Beijing’s international extralegal repatriation campaign known as Operation Fox Hunt.
The indictment, recently unsealed by a Brooklyn, N.Y. court, shows that similar operations were carried out on Canadian soil.
I’m beginning to suspect that our armed forces recruiting failure is due to Canada no longer being viewed as a nation, let alone one worth defending. Thanks Liberals.
The federal government is planning a massive increase in the number of immigrants entering Canada, with a goal of seeing 500,000 people arrive each year by 2025.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser revealed the new targets Tuesday, saying the move is necessary to ensure Canada’s economic prosperity.
Canadian industries are facing a significant labour shortage, with about one million job vacancies across the country.
Who benefits?
Corporate Canada gets the depressed wages it wants.
Bank of Canada gets to fight inflation on the backs of the working class.
The rich will get richer off the contrived shortages citizens will face in everything from food to shelter.
Trudeau gets to play divide and conquer and hope a few votes come his way.
Be clear about this. Your country is being sold to corporate interests by the Trudeau government.
