Canada to keep Gordie Howe Bridge toll revenue until project debt is cleared, Mark Carney says

OTTAWA — Canada won’t share toll revenues from the Gordie Howe International Bridge with the United States until the project’s debts are repaid, with Prime Minister Mark Carney stating on Thursday that the $6.4-billion crossing may run operating losses in its early years.

“It’s not splitting the tolls at the bridge. It is an agreement for 15 years to split net revenues,” Carney said at a news conference in London, Ont. “Any sharing of the toll revenue won’t happen until all of the debt is repaid.

Joisey on the Ropes

This past spring, Blue America suffered yet another critical blow without much in the way of comment: Standard Oil of New Jersey fled the state for Texas.

Of course, it’s not called Standard Oil anymore. Following several takeovers and mergers, it’s now known as ExxonMobil. But it’s still the same company founded nearly a century and a half ago as the jewel in the crown of John D. Rockefeller’s industrial empire. And now it’s gone.

British Columbia Invokes U.S. Racketeering Law in Landmark Forfeiture Claim Against Wolfpack-Linked Alleged Indian Narco Targeted in Sprawling U.S. Government Probe

VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s civil forfeiture director has moved to seize more than $11 million in Vancouver-area real estate from Garinder Singh Deo, a longtime Lower Mainland gangster charged in the United States with facilitating an India-based transnational crime syndicate — in a claim built on years of suspicious transaction reports filed by Canadian banks to Fintrac, and on a parallel RCMP investigation that shadowed the FBI’s Operation Hard Ball.

Brexit and net zero: Finishing the job

Brexit and net zero: Finishing the job

Ten years on from the referendum, the Brexit debate is mostly about what it has or hasn’t already delivered. Rupert Darwall argues that its greatest prize still lies ahead. Net zero and Brexit were always linked. Because the EU is an administrative state built to regulate and unable to deregulate, its member states are locked into net zero by treaty and court. Britain, having left, can repeal its commitment to net zero with a single Act of Parliament. That, Darwall contends, is the biggest Brexit benefit of all – and the example that might yet rescue Europe from itself.

The west needs to have a denazification program for Net Zero fanatics like Carney.

Chris Milburn: Woke doublethink controls Canada

Chris Milburn: Woke doublethink controls Canada

Are we really past “peak woke,” as some think? Perhaps it’s true elsewhere. But recent events suggest the underlying ideology remains deeply entrenched in Canada.

On June 8, the Standing Committee on Science and Research met to examine explicit affirmative action hiring practices for women. However, when Conservative MP Vincent Neil Ho asked a witness — Dr. Mona Nemer, a molecular biologist and Canada’s chief science advisor — to define “woman,” chaos erupted.

Leftist Women Are an Abomination

Leftist Women Are an Abomination

A 43-year-old Trump-hating American woman named Jamey Carney decided to move to Ireland to escape the Bad Orange Man’s reign of terror, shack up with her Palestinian asylum seeker boyfriend, and… well, that misadventure ended about as well as a sentence that begins “I thought the pitbull looked cute, so I petted it…” or “But I thought I could fly…” Spoiler Alert: Her Muslim dreamboat got mad at the uppity infidel and bludgeoned her to death. Who could’ve seen that coming except anybody with eyes? It’s kind of amazing how Darwinism results in a self-cleaning gene pool.
