US Blacklist of CNOOC Suggests Caution for Canada’s Dealings With Military-Linked Chinese State-Owned Firm

The U.S. Department of Defence on Dec. 3 blacklisted a Chinese state-owned oil company that has a heavy presence across Canada for being associated with the communist regime’s military. The Pentagon encourages parties to consider the U.S. position in their dealings with such companies, a spokesperson told The Epoch Times.

China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) is China’s largest offshore producer of oil and gas and was established as the state-owned offshore petroleum company of China in 1982.

WARMINGTON: OPP senior officer and family pal charged in missing Gretzky memorabilia

The Gretzky family had such trust in this senior OPP officer, she would routinely accompany patriarch Walter to Maple Leaf games.

Now, she has been charged with breach of trust and fraud in a missing Wayne Gretzky hockey paraphernalia investigation. Insp. June Dobson, 58, commanding officer at the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment in Grenville, has been charged with fraud over $5,000 and breach of trust over a hockey stick the Hall of Famer used during his playing days as a child in Brantford that was sold to a collector for $6,000.

Funny. She’s involved in “Elder Abuse.”

Learn the science before you follow it: Fact-checking Justin Trudeau on climate change

Learn the science before you follow it: Fact-checking Justin Trudeau on climate change

Announcing his new plan for getting to net-zero on carbon emissions, Justin Trudeau told Canadians: “If we trust scientists with our health, as we do, then we must also trust their research and their expertise when it comes to other existential threats. And that includes climate change. There is no vaccine against a polluted planet. It’s up to us to act. Because there is a real cost to pollution. We’re paying the price already with record storms, wildfires, floods, and heat waves, which all carry real economic costs and real risks to our health. We chose to get straight to work on cutting pollution.”

We should indeed trust scientific research and expertise, and above all data. But so far, data shows no such existential threats due to climate change.

Viral Panic

Viral Panic

Situated between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties on the California coast, Ventura County boasts a population of about 850,000, living amidst pristine beaches, occasionally snowcapped mountains, and plentiful farmland. Since April, Ventura County’s 7-day rolling average for deaths attributed to Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has only barely exceeded 2 a handful of times, and for the past 14 days our County has had one death due to the Coronavirus. Only 0.02% of the population has succumbed to Covid-19 and to the best of my ability to determine, all of these poor souls were elderly and/or had comorbidities.

Flight of the Icons – Anti-business policies are driving flagship firms out of California.

It’s hard to say the word “innovation” and not think of California. Technology has paced the state’s growth in everything from agriculture and oil to housing, entertainment, and aerospace. California has always been the harbinger of the American future, the promise of ever-greater economic and social progress.

Yet increasingly, many of today’s innovators are fleeing the state.

6 Experts Predict The Worst-Case Scenario With China Under A Feeble Biden Foreign Policy

A Post-Trump Media Landscape

A Post-Trump Media Landscape

Over the past five or so years, the media has shifted its business model to focus on making virtually every story about Donald Trump. From local news stories to every conceivable national scenario, Trump has been the feature.

“How did he influence this?”

“What do Republicans think about this tweet?”

“This is surely the end of the Trump administration!”

Years of this constant barrage. Nonstop.

Facebook closes fake accounts linked to French military and Russia

Facebook said Tuesday that it had removed two networks based in Russia and one linked to the French military, accusing them of carrying out interference campaigns in Africa.

Two networks running multiple Facebook accounts were assigned to people associated with the Russian Internet Research Agency, and the third had “links to individuals associated with French military,” the social media platform said.

All three were removed from the site for breaking its policy against foreign or government interference, Facebook said, adding that the networks targeted countries mainly in north Africa and some in the Middle East.
