What many thought was a dream opportunity for Indigenous youth from Canada to participate in cultural exchange with local Māori communities in New Zealand turned into what one participant describes as a “nightmare.”

It was marketed as a 12-week working holiday for Indigenous youth but left some participants feeling scammed.

Jordan Peterson & Tucker Carlson Funded by Russia’s RT, Justin Trudeau Says

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said under oath that Tucker Carlson is funded by a Russian state-owned media outlet, without providing evidence for the claim.

Trudeau made the allegation about Carlson and fellow conservative media personality Jordan Peterson while testifying at a public inquiry into foreign interference on Wednesday.

The Canadian prime minister was addressing alleged Russian influence in spreading anti-vaccine messaging in the media and on social media during the “Freedom Convoy,” a protest against COVID-19 vaccines and restrictions in Canada in early 2022.

No way to sue Junior I suppose.

Ontario electricity demand to soar due to EV manufacturing and AI: system operator

Demand for electricity in Ontario is set to soar by 75 per cent in the next couple of decades, far higher than was projected just last year, in part due to a sudden surge in data centres supporting artificial intelligence, the system operator said Wednesday.

The demand has been relatively flat for the past 20 years, but now it is building and shows no signs of levelling off, officials with the Independent Electricity System Operator said in a briefing. Just last year, they expected demand to grow 60 per cent higher by 2050.

Can’t wait for those magic reactors to be built to match that magic EV manufacturing.

Billions of Litres of Canadian Milk Were Dumped in Past 12 Years, Study Suggests

More than six billion litres of milk has been discarded on Canadian dairy farms since 2012, according to a newly released study.

“Systemic inefficiencies” in Canada’s supply management system have led to between 6.8 billion and 10 billion litres of milk being dumped out over the past 12 years, says the study published in the journal Ecological Economics. Valued at as much as $14.9 billion, the dumped milk accounts for roughly 7 percent of milk produced on dairy farms during that time period.
