For all the talk of whether Canada needs a new oil pipeline, there’s one thing missing: a company wanting to build it.
In June, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said there was “no proponent” and no proposal on the table by any company, but pledged, “There will be soon.”
So far, that has yet to materialize.
Created to protect the vulnerable, the U-visa has transmogrified into a market where citizenship can be gamed and traded.
America’s immigration system was designed to embody the American social contract — a compact between the individual and the state, in which the government is impartial and bound by law. But when newcomers arrive from societies where government is degraded into barter, bribery, and patronage, they import with them a radically different conception of what citizenship and authority mean. That is the real danger revealed in Louisiana, where Chandrakant “Lala” Patel, an Indian-origin businessman, now faces a 62-count federal indictment for orchestrating a sweeping U-visa fraud.
Thirty-seven percent of Canadian university students with right-leaning views fear facing formal consequences—including lower grades—if they share an opinion in class that differs from the accepted “safe” stance on controversial topics, a new poll suggests.
A recently released study from the Fraser Institute found that left-leaning political viewpoints are dominant on university campuses in Canada, with even 30 percent of self-described left-leaning students fearing formal consequences if they express a viewpoint in class that conflicts with what is considered the “safe” stance.
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has lambasted plans to reach net zero emissions by 2050, calling the climate target “a colossal train wreck” that countries will most likely fail to achieve.
His comments, which were first published as part of an interview with the Financial Times on Monday, come as Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum prepare to travel to Milan, Italy, for the Gastech energy conference.
“Net zero 2050 is just a colossal train wreck … It’s just a monstrous human impoverishment program and of course there is no way it is going to happen,” Wright said in remarks shared by the U.S. Department of Energy on social media platform X.
Canada is about 5 years behind normal.

Sixteen speed cameras were damaged by vandals in Toronto overnight, police confirmed Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Premier Doug Ford said it’s time for Ontario municipalities to put the brakes on speed cameras, calling the automated devices “a tax grab.”
Monday marked the beginning of season 29 for ABC’s The View. Back from their summer hiatus, the liberal ladies were just as unhinged as ever as they decried President Trump’s crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital. Co-host Joy Behar suggested that Trump was going to have the National Guard launch a literal “war” against American civilians. Meanwhile, co-host Sara Haines proclaimed that the money used to support the Guard was better spent on one night of shelter for the homeless, rather than deterring murders.
OTTAWA — Government inaction on housing is leading Canada towards an unprecedented crisis, Canada’s Opposition leader warns.
Speaking Tuesday from a residential construction site in Brampton, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said inaction by the Mark Carney Liberals on homebuilding is sparking an unrecoverable cycle of layoffs, unemployment and withering-away of skilled trades — leaving Canada with a devastating shortage of skilled workers.
Africa has joined a campaign to claim reparations from Britain for “historic crimes”.
The African Union called for “meaningful reparations” from “former colonial powers” for exploiting the people, land and resources of the continent.
The bloc blamed “systemic injustice” ongoing in the continent on imperialism in the 19th century.
OK Africa but let’s start with making your African Slave Trading Tribes pony up their share and then we’ll do a tally of all the foreign aid your sinkhole of a continent will be paying back.
The Conservatives are right: The Temporary Foreign Worker program mostly should not exist.
But the Conservatives are also missing something: the Temporary Foreign Worker program, or TFW, is only a small part − in fact the smallest part – of Canada’s temporary foreign worker programs.
KP Sharma Oli, the four-time Nepalese prime minister and Community Party leader, has resigned a day after at least 20 anti-corruption protesters were killed by security forces in Kathmandu.
Nepalese politicians across Kathmandu were also attacked and their homes set on fire by demonstrators as protests continued in the face of a government shutdown of 26 social media platforms.
Footage has emerged showing the bloodied face of the former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba in his home, after he was attacked and captured by protesters. Another video reported by local media shows the finance minister Bishnu Paudel being chased through the street and violently kicked.

Five men have been charged with aiding in the breakout from jail of organized crime figure Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil three years ago.
The RCMP said it cannot confirm media reports that Alkhalil, 38, was arrested Friday in Qatar — more than three years after he walked out the front door of a B.C. jail while serving time for murdering a GTA man on a crowded patio on College Street.
Also known as “Robby,” Alkhalil is a leader of the Wolfpack Alliance, a confederation of crime groups heavily involved in cocaine importation with some members linked to the Hells Angels.
Actor Mark Hamill feels “really ashamed” America elected President Donald Trump twice, calling himself a “minority” in his own country.
Hamill expressed his feelings about Trump during an appearance on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast.
Maybe the NDP will get its act together. Maybe it will become a real political party, a viable third option, a progressive voice in a political ecosystem where Prime Minister Mark Carney has so graciously yielded the floor.
Mr. Carney uttered the word “austerity” last week in describing what to expect from his upcoming budget. That term was verboten under his predecessor Justin Trudeau, who became prime minister a decade ago under a promise to run a series of deficits.
Watch: ‘That’s a hellfire missile smacking into that UFO’ – witness
NEW VIDEO:
Today, at a congressional hearing on UAP's, a video was shown of an MQ-9 that was tracking an "orb" off the coast of Yemen.
A second MQ-9 fired a Hellfire missile at it. It shows a direct hit on a egg shaped UFO and has zero effect on it.

The UAP hearings are on, I’ll post the best summary I can find later, in the meantime Ross Coulthart will have a live Q&A at the hearings conclusion.
Canadians are divided on whether Ottawa should eliminate its temporary foreign worker program, although the scales tip in favour of scrapping the program, a new survey suggests.
Forty-four percent of Canadians said they support a recent proposal by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to phase out the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP) while 30 percent are opposed to such a move, a survey from Abacus Data found. An additional 18 percent of those polled said they were either neutral or undecided on the subject.
