“There will come a day, far off but inevitable at some point, when traditional energy sources will no longer be needed,” said former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2017.
Politicians across the Western Hemisphere, including Canada’s leadership for at least the past decade, have bought into the notion that a massive transition away from fossil fuels is underway and that the end of their use is somehow preordained.
President Donald Trump has denied reports that the US is suffering a munitions shortage and vowed in a social media post to seek “long term jail sentences” for those suspected of leaking information.
“The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types,” Trump posted on Thursday morning. “Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed.”
Trump and the Pentagon face mounting questions about the state of the military’s arsenal, with the war now in its sixth month and a peace deal remaining elusive.

Ana Paula Kitterhing De Sousa never missed a text message from her daughter.
But when Raquel Almeida Margulies texted a habitual “sweet dreams, mama,” at 10:28 p.m. on Oct. 15, 2023, the text was left curiously unanswered.
Fury has erupted in London over plans to erect a hulking 13-storey “mega mosque”.
The proposals would see the UK Albanian Muslim Community and Cultural Centre on Carlton Vale, which sits in a former pub, expanded dramatically.
Architects have put forward plans to knock down the current building and erect a 13-storey tower featuring three floors of prayer space, a morgue and a function room.
Irish health chiefs have declared that “pregnant men” are entitled to maternity leave—despite pregnancy and childbirth being exclusively female.
Gript reports that new guidance from the state-run Health Service Executive (HSE) says transgender employees who are legally recognised as male can claim 26 weeks of paid maternity leave if they become pregnant or give birth.
“Since 2023, transgender men who are pregnant or have given birth can access maternity leave,” the advice states.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is warning that Canada will get tougher with the United States if there is no agreement to avoid President Donald Trump’s latest threatened tariffs, which are scheduled to take effect this month.
Canada’s goal, Mr. Carney says, is to get all of Mr. Trump’s sectoral tariffs, including those on autos, dealt with.
The term ‘remigration’, referring to attempts to induce or compel migrants to return to their countries of origin, has become increasingly common on social media. A recent report by the UK Extremism and Democratic Resilience Centre found that fully one third of Britons support remigration — a figure that was widely cited in the media.
The big problem with the term is that it’s not well-defined, with different people using it to mean vastly different things.
A Saskatchewan member of the legislative assembly takes home about $46,000 more than the average Saskatchewanian who pays the bill.
But taxpayers don’t need to shell out six-figure salaries to provincial politicians to have a functioning government.

The way he tries to reason with his own feet before resorting to total gymnastics is peak dog content.… pic.twitter.com/58TVWdYV83

A Federal Court judge has overturned an Immigration and Refugee Board decision to release an Indian national accused of murder and with suspected links to the Bishnoi gang.
Judge Phuong Ngo ruled Aug. 3 that the immigration board member erred in the July 7 decision when they said Karamveer Singh could 14be released on several conditions after relatives offered to post a bond.
🔥HOLY SMOKES!
THIS is what “protect and serve” actually looks like.
“You Go baby!”😅

Socialist Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens by roughly a point with nearly all votes counted in Michigan’s Democrat primary for U.S. Senate.
El-Sayed campaigned on things like Medicare for All, investing in “affordable” housing, and abolishing ICE. He previously called for defunding the police. His campaign website says he believes “in an economy built by and for working people.”
What if the current unrest in the country leads to a second American Civil War? How would that play out in the modern era? Let’s allow ourselves a daydream — or nightmare — about how it might go.
Granted, there wouldn’t be battles like those that were fought in Gettysburg or Vicksburg, but it’s conceivable each side would come up with their own flag design, since symbols are essential. The Right might construct a “freedom” flag, which would stand in stark contrast to the flag of the Left: a raised fist decorated with small anarcho-feminist and transgender icons — with the middle finger extended.
Mark Carney’s dramatic escalation of military spending will change Canada — far more than has been acknowledged.
Without any clear assessment of our military needs, the prime minister has embarked on a massive military spending spree, which has suddenly immersed us in plans to spend $100 billion on submarines, and billions more on fighter jets.
All this has redrawn the boundaries of our national ambitions, redirecting vast resources into military firepower, forcing us to shrink our dreams of other things we could achieve together as a nation.
I guess we’ll be OK if we sing “Imagine” as the ChiCom tanks roll down Yonge St.
