‘We need time’: Unifor says Stellantis’ Brampton plant could be lost for good as it urges feds to step in

Unifor national president Lana Payne is warning that Stellantis is “100 per cent serious” about exiting its Brampton assembly plant and she is asking Ottawa to step in and prevent its sale to Canadian armoured ⁠vehicle maker Roshel.

With Stellantis and Unifor still at an impasse just days before their collective agreement expires on Sept. 20, Payne said at a press conference on Thursday that thousands of auto jobs could be permanently erased.

“Stellantis is looking for an exit, and no one, no one, should be holding the door open,” Payne told reporters Thursday. “This would make Brampton the first auto plant to fall in this trade war. And when plants close, they rarely, if ever, come back.”

Say your goodbyes.

White House issues explosive response to UN-backed report claiming US committed war crimes against world’s No.1 sponsor of terror, Iran

WASHINGTON — The White House came out swinging Thursday against a United Nations-sponsored investigation that found “reasonable grounds” to conclude the US committed war crimes in Iran.

The fact-finding mission stood up by the global body’s notorious Human Rights Council said that the US should pay “full reparations to victims” of two attacks that occurred on Feb. 28, the first day of Operation Epic Fury, at a school and a sports complex in southern Iran.

“The UN Human Rights Council has accomplished nothing for human rights while spouting unserious nonsense for decades,” said White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly.

With new exit ban law in China, should Canadians rethink visiting?

New travel restrictions for citizens and foreigners came into effect in China on Tuesday, including potential exit bans for those who run afoul of Chinese regulations.

“The law provides for a host of conditions under which authorities could restrict your ability to leave the country,” Henry Gao, a law professor at Singapore Management University, told CTV’s Your Morning on Tuesday.

“After this law comes into effect, China is becoming ‘Hotel California’ – you can try to check out, but you might never be able to leave.”

I doubt visiting Canada will be safe for Canadians soon given Carney’s ChiCom security MOU.

Say Goodbye to Hollywood… If It Even Exists Anymore

Hollywood and Los Angeles were once so inextricably intertwined that you could hardly mention one without picturing the other. So much more than just a neighborhood in central Los Angeles, Hollywood simply was the entertainment industry — a name that conjured all the glamour, glitz, beauty, wealth, thrills, and tabloid debauchery of a magical place that could only exist in America.

Carson Jerema: L’État, c’est Carney

In between ignoring Parliament after walking away from trade negotiations with the U.S. and ignoring Parliament to speak to the European Union, Prime Minister Mark Carney ignored Parliament to announce a suite of new economic policies, while hosting his “investor’s summit” in Toronto this week.

Previous prime ministers certainly viewed the House of Commons as inconvenient. What makes Carney unique is that he doesn’t seem to consider it at all, not even as an obstacle to overcome or a tedious obligation of his office. It would be too much to say he wished Parliament didn’t exist, because in his mind it is not clear that it does, unless he is physically in the building.

Apparent Leftist Victory in Sweden Elections Enabled by Mass Migration

The coalition of left-wing parties in Sweden has seemingly prevailed over the governing conservative bloc in a victory facilitated by mass migration.

Swedish public broadcaster SVT reported on Wednesday that the opposition parties are 99.9 per cent likely to have won the general election, with the votes of just 50 districts left uncounted. While the tabulation of early votes had swayed the result back and forth, it appears to be a statistical inevitability that Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s Tidö government was defeated.

Caucus a ‘fractured mess’ as Poilievre gathers Conservatives in B.C.: source

$Caucus a ‘fractured mess’ as Poilievre gathers Conservatives in B.C.: source$

CALGARY — As he gathers his caucus in B.C. this week, Pierre Poilievre faces a tall order: unite factions and find a way to punch through in Parliament this fall, according to a number of sources who spoke to CTV News.

Federal Conservatives from across the country meet in Penticton Wednesday and Thursday, before heading back to Ottawa later this month.

Speaking to CTV News on background ahead of the retreat, one caucus source described the group as a “fractured mess,” saying many members view the event as a sort of vacation from their ridings, after working hard at home this summer, worried about losing their seats.

Uncontrolled AI could lead to ‘silicon species’ rivalling humans, warns Microsoft

The head of Microsoft AI has warned that without adequate safeguards, the development of AI could lead to the emergence of a new “silicon species” which competes with humans.

Mustafa Suleyman said rival firm Anthropic is treating AI like it is human, an approach he called “misguided” which could create technology that humanity cannot control.

Speaking to the BBC’s Today programme, the chief executive said it was “right” for people to be concerned about AI, but there were “very practical things that we can do” to control it.

James Stranko: Dear Canada, Americans still love you but please stop insulting us

Toronto FC fans recently booed the American national anthem, the same way Canadians across the country have done countless times over the past 18 months. We get it, you’re mad.

But consider this week, when the Barenaked Ladies will perform “O Canada” at the Buffalo Bills home opener. In contrast, I can confidently predict that the crowd will sing along and erupt in cheers. Unlike Canadians, Americans don’t currently boo Canada’s national anthem or angle a political dig into a conversation about the weather. Many Canadians do this, and for the ones who do, it’s sort of all they do these days.

With 45% of the population foreign born or recently descendant of the foreign born there will be no turning back.

Our elites deliberately imported 3rd World migrants who hate the USA as much as they do while our so called education system indoctrinates the same attitudes in the young.

Roosevelt called us the “Aerodrome of Democracy” future presidents may simply refer to us as the enemy at the gate.

Canada’s great European misadventure

Canada, understandably, has no interest in becoming the 51st state, but becoming the honorary 28th member of the European Union would be foolhardy.

On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen invited Canada with great fanfare to become the bloc’s first “associate member.” The arrangement is intended to reorient Ottawa from Washington toward Brussels by integrating manufacturing, technology, security and energy. Details will be negotiated at a summit next month.

Iceland and Norway keep saying no to Europe. We should, too

It was smiles, applause and handshakes all around on Wednesday in Strasbourg as Mark Carney sat in on EU President Ursula von der Leyen’s “state of the union” address, in which she floated the idea of Canada becoming the EU’s first “associate member,” whatever that means. But let’s not get carried away by all the well-wishing and good fellowship. The EU is a bloc that sensible countries like Iceland and Norway keep refusing to join. They already have the market access Carney wants and live right next door to the regulators he is courting, and yet they have repeatedly rejected closer integration.

In August, Icelanders voted 52.8 per cent against restarting accession talks that were abandoned more than a decade ago. Turnout was high at 82.5 per cent and the question was not membership but simply whether to reopen negotiations. And still the voters said no.

Why Ilhan Omar can’t be kicked out of the US for marrying brother: Immigration officials

Oh, brother!

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s marriage to her alleged brother won’t get her kicked out of the US, but other matters in her immigration file might, sources told The Post.

In 2009, Omar wed self-described ‘dirty dandy’ Ahmed Elmi, a UK national long rumored to be her brother. But the federal probe into Somalia-born Omar’s past is more likely to focus on how she became as US citizen as a teenager and paperwork filed by her father.

In nod to Trump, Carney says Canada, Europe aren’t ‘fair-weather allies’ in EU speech

Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling for a “deeper partnership” between Canada and Europe in order to hedge against great powers encroaching on the sovereignty of smaller nations.

“Together, Canada and the European Union can anchor our ground to hold our values while forming a protective canopy under which our citizens can thrive,” Carney said in an address to the European Parliament on Thursday morning.

I’ll feel so much safer in EU hands!

Canada’s Europe pivot worries US senators amid trade war

OTTAWA — US lawmakers from both parties are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada, with one Republican senator warning Ottawa’s growing relationship with Europe could make it harder to repair ties with Washington.

Republican Maine Senator Susan Collins and Democratic Delaware Senator Chris Coons spoke with CBC News Washington correspondent Katie Simpson as frustration with the Canada-U.S. trade dispute grows on Capitol Hill.
