After his Liberal government repeatedly assured Canadians prior to last year’s election that his carbon tax would be frozen at $50 per tonne of emissions in 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday he will raise it to $170 per tonne by 2030.
That will increase the cost of gasoline by about 38 cents per litre, plus the cost of home heating fuels such as natural gas and oil.

The accused Jeffrey Epstein madam is expected to go to court in the coming days in a bid to be freed before Christmas, the Telegraph first reported.
Roughly $25 million of the hefty package will be backed by Maxwell’s rumored husband, tech CEO Scott Borgerson — whose identity the British heiress refused to reveal at an initial bail hearing over the summer.
And so are certain laptops.
Less than two months ago, Facebook’s Andy Stone labeled the New York Post story on Hunter Biden’s business dealings with authoritarian governments as “part of a foreign manipulation attempt” and announced “reducing its distribution on our platform.”
It turns out this “foreign manipulation attempt” ensnared even the Justice Department. It currently investigates Joe Biden’s son for reasons included in the Post piece.
An Osama bin Laden henchman convicted in two deadly 1998 bombings is free in the U.K. after getting released three weeks early from a New Jersey prison — thanks to a judge who feared the terrorist was way too obese to survive the coronavirus behind bars.

In 1349, as the Black Death ravaged Europe, a new pandemic-control strategy was adopted in cities across the continent. The protocol was precisely regulated by the experts. Three times a day, for a total of exactly eight hours, hundreds of men known as Flagellants would march in single file through town, wearing caps with a red cross and carrying scourges of knotted ropes studded with nails. “Using these whips,” one witness reported, “they beat and whipped their bare skin until their bodies were bruised and swollen and blood rained down, spattering the walls nearby.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has files from the laptop computer belonging to Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee (DNC) employee who was killed in 2016, according to a new email.
The bureau also has tens of thousands of documents mentioning Rich.
The FBI “has completed the initial search identifying approximately 50 cross-reference serials, with attachments totaling over 20,000 pages, in which Seth Rich is mentioned,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Parker wrote in the message to attorney Ty Clevenger, who is representing a plaintiff in Huddleston v.

Sweden is looking to revamp its Parental Code, making it more gender-neutral. The legislation, based on the traditional family, is largely obsolete because modern families “look different,” the country’s equality minister claims.
Stockholm has commissioned a special inquiry to review its 1950 Parental Code. Despite multiple amendments, the legislation still remains based on “the traditional nuclear family with a mother, father, and children.” For Asa Lindhagen, the Swedish minister for gender equality, that is a problem.
