Liberal government spent at least $530 million on NextStar battery plant: documents

The federal government has paid out at least $530 million in incentives to NextStar Energy, the company behind a major battery plant in Windsor, Ont., records show.

It’s a relatively small portion of the billion-dollar funding deals with NextStar, which is a joint venture between global automaker Stellantis and South Korean battery firm LG Energy Solution. The federal government is providing up to $10.5 billion, while the province has pledged up to $5.5 billion.

Still, the figure provides fresh insight into the financial and contractual relationships between the federal government and NextStar — relationships that have been the focus of intense scrutiny since Stellantis announced it’s moving production of a Jeep model from its Brampton facility to the U.S.

Jamie Sarkonak: Foreign criminals keep getting their deportations cancelled

When he was about 22, a Jamaican national and Canadian permanent resident impregnated his 13-year-old stepsister. She said he forced himself onto her, he said he didn’t remember; you be the judge. She had a child. This happened in 2007, and in 2008 he was convicted of sexual interference and sentenced to five-and-a-half months.

Why Canadian bosses love hiring foreign workers

Douglas Todd: Low-skill guest workers toil longer hours, with fewer absences, for less pay than Canadian domestic workers, which means wages go down for everyone, says a peer-reviewed study.

Rarely a week goes by without a small or large Canadian company declaring how desperate it is to hire foreign guest workers.

The country’s “labour shortage” is brutal, they say. Business survival is impossible without willing workers from offshore, complain the owners of hotels, fast-food restaurants, security firms, supermarket chains and construction companies.


Fact: Canada’s corporate class was given license by the Liberal government to flood the nation with cheap foreign labour.

They did so without care or concern that they were destroying your economic and social well being and that of your children.

All to satisfy their greed but Elbows Up eh?

Carney says ‘who cares’ comment on Trump talks was ‘poor choice of words’

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday his recent reply to a question about the state of trade talks with the U.S. — “Who cares?” — amounted to “a poor choice of words.”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hammered the prime minister over his comment during question period in the House of Commons Tuesday.

“Before the election he promised ‘elbows up.’ After, it was, ‘Who cares?’ Before the election, he said the tariffs were an ‘existential crisis.’ Now he says they’re not a burning issue,” Poilievre said.


He says stupid crap for the Elbow People who consider this sort of thing a mighty victory.

MPs ‘speechless’ after Stellantis fails to show up to hearing, citing technical issues

Members of Parliament from multiple parties slammed Stellantis on Tuesday for failing to show up to a committee hearing about the federal government’s multimillion-dollar funding deals with the global automaker.

“I am incredibly annoyed that Stellantis has not been able to join us,” said Vince Gasparro, the Liberal MP for Eglinton—Lawrence. “This is incredibly frustrating and […] at this point, unacceptable.”

A company executive was scheduled to appear by videoconference before the House of Commons’ government operations and estimates committee on Tuesday morning. But that executive, Teresa Piruzza, never showed up over the course of the nearly two-hour public meeting.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Did Carney really ditch Canada’s feminist foreign policy?

Is the Liberal party’s foreign policy no longer feminist? People have been asking the question all week, ever since Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday that, “We have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy. Those are different points, but related.”

He subsequently clarified that gender equality remains a priority for Canada, but that things like gender-based violence are “an issue of justice,” and that, “Different countries put a different priority on it.… But by discussing strategies and approaches, my experience is that I think that’s part of our policy, as well.”

PINDER: The real Carney is emerging

A deficit, disdain, and deception — unmasking the true cost of Carney’s leadership.

Our Prime Minister, a citizen of three countries, squeezed time from his many planet saving roles to return to Canada and fulfill his manifest destiny of leading the country in which he was born. Many recognized the dilemma — on one hand, a globalist propagating the fantasy of net zero — in his words — “will require a whole economy transition — every company, every bank, every insurer, and investor will have to adjust their business models.” His affinities, as Director of the World Economic Forum and several important roles with the United Nations, driven by a belief in net zero, are anathema to his “build Canada” theme.

Funny that his long held beliefs and objectives were mostly unmentioned during the leadership and general election campaigns. But he has now played his hand, and the examples abound.

Canada needs to ban Muslim Brotherhood, advocates urge

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function

OTTAWA — As the United States prepares to declare a contentious Islamic group a terrorist entity, pressure is growing here at home for Canada to follow suit.

On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump reinstated his administration’s intention to declare the Muslim Brotherhood — an Islamist organization founded in Egypt nearly a century ago — a terrorist organization.

Migrants’ rights groups call on Carney government to withdraw border security bill

The federal government’s border security bill is an open door to violate the rights of migrants and should be dropped, advocacy groups said on Monday on Parliament Hill.

Representatives of the Migrant Rights Network, the Canadian Council for Refugees and other groups held a news conference on Parliament Hill after failing to get on the witness lists for Commons committees studying Bill C-12.

“Bill C-12 proposes changes to nine pieces of legislation, is 70 pages long and yet has only been given three weeks of study,” said Karen Cocq, spokesperson for the Migrant Rights Network.


You can bet your tax dollars are funding these trough feeding parasites and of course the CBC platforms them.

GOP lawmaker complains Canada’s defense spending still falls short in the long run

HALIFAX — Republican lawmaker Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina says it’s all good and well that Canada is finally meeting its NATO defense spending commitments, but Canada should make up for two decades of back dues — to the tune of $300 billion.

“Can we do a makeup payment for the 20 years of shortfalls as well?” Tillis told a Saturday panel at the Halifax International Security Forum, a international gathering of defense officials and security professionals.


The only money spent will be used to fortify Festung Ottawa against anticipated popular uprisings.
