Jesse Kline: Does Freeland actually mean it when she says she wants LNG projects?
It’s hard to worry about keeping warm when it’s 37 C out, but that’s exactly what the Germans are being forced to do as Russia continues to cut gas supplies to Europe, creating the prospect of severe shortages this winter. In Berlin, the lights illuminating 200 monuments and government buildings, including the presidential palace, are being switched off to save electricity. People in Hanover will no longer be able to take hot showers at gyms and pools. Residents and businesses are facing huge increases in their energy bills.
I think Freedoughgolin is staking out her leadership strategy.
Status of Canadian deal to buy artillery shells for Ukraine is uncertain
Canada is in discussions with arms companies to obtain further equipment for Ukraine but it’s unclear whether a critical deal to purchase 100,000 rounds of artillery ammunition for that country will proceed.
Canadian officials have been talking with their counterparts in South Korea to acquire the 155-millimetre artillery ammunition, this newspaper reported in late May. Canada would then provide those 100,000 rounds of ammunition to Ukraine, which has been warning for the last month that it is running out of artillery shells.
They’ll find a way. They need this war to further the Green-scam, look how quickly principles were set aside and the turbines released to prevent Germany dropping out.
Canada lost 31,000 jobs last month, the second straight monthly decline
Canada’s economy lost 30,600 jobs in July, Statistics Canada said Friday.
It’s the second month in a row of lost jobs, coming on the heels of 43,000 jobs lost in June.
Most of the losses came in the service sector, which lost 53,000 positions. That was offset by a gain of 23,000 jobs in goods-producing industries.

Montreal Gunman Abdulla Shaikh deemed a “significant risk to public safety” but allowed to walk free
The gunman at the centre of a seemingly random killing spree that claimed the lives of three people in Montreal and Laval over a 24-hour period was allowed to continue living outside a mental health facility, even though a psychiatrist deemed he was a “significant risk to public safety” last spring.
The shooter, 26-year-old Abdulla Shaikh, was shot dead by Montreal police Thursday morning in a motel parking lot during an operation linked to the three killings.
Court records show Shaikh had a criminal record for charges including assault and mischief.
Hockey Canada: A sex assault scandal disgraces country’s pastime
Canada, the birthplace of ice hockey, is confronting a sexual misconduct crisis within its largest and most prominent sport. The fallout has many asking: is ice hockey facing a widespread reckoning?
Hockey Canada, which manages programmes and teams in the country from entry-level all the way to world championships and the Olympic Games, has been rocked by public allegations of sexual assault against its players since earlier this year.
The sports body – largely seen as Canada’s voice for ice hockey on the international stage – is now facing consequences not seen in its storied 108-year-old history.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she didn’t know Kyiv embassy staff faced threat from Russia
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she and her department were unaware of intelligence reports delivered weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in which diplomats in Kyiv were told Ukrainians who worked for the Canadian embassy there were likely on lists of people Moscow intended to detain or kill.
Are Liberals making ArriveCAN permanent?
It’s worrisome the way the federal Liberal government is now talking about the ArriveCAN app for travellers. They appear to be positioning things to make it a permanent feature of the travel experience.
Trudeau Showered With Gifts From King Of Jordan As Foreign Aid Buys Real Estate
An article published this week by National Post focuses on gifts sent to PM Justin Trudeau from foreign dignitaries:
“Jordan’s King Abdullah II has been the most generous of foreign officials, presenting ten gifts to Trudeau ranging from a handmade leather saddle to sculptural plant vessels to jars of honey.”
What a sweet deal. Over the past 10 years Justin Trudeau has authorized a shipment of $800 million in foreign aid to the Kingdom of Jordan. After which the Pandora Papers revealed that the King of Jordan is funneling large parts of that Canadian aid into a worldwide portfolio of luxury real estate.
Canadians Are Watching Their Savings Evaporate
Any society that wants to achieve durable, long-term success must incentivize saving.
Savings represent both the ability of a society to be productive and generate excess value, and confidence in a better future.
Smart societies thus seek to reward those who save, because those savings are the investment that drives a society forward.
By contrast, foolish and broken societies punish those who save.
They reward irresponsibility and incentivize debt – often by making it nearly impossible for many to hold onto their standard of living without it. They devalue the national currency, destroy confidence in the future, and push a kind of thinking that is increasingly short-term and destructive in the long-run. They bail-out those who fail at the expense of those who succeed, and concentrate economic power in the hands of the state and those affiliated with it.
What type of society do we have today?
