-- "After hiring an alleged ISIS recruiter, Ontario's largest electricity provider tried to bring in a much more intensive security screening process to protect its grid — but a labour arbitrator has found Hydro One's national security background checks were 'intrusive and unreasonable.' Arbitrator's decision comes as spy agencies warn critical infrastructure in Canada is vulnerable to attack." --This leftwing lunacy is just another example of why Canada is doomed.
-- "Stellantis says that it is 'temporarily pausing' work on the next generation of the new electric SUV Jeep Compass, leaving the future of its Brampton Assembly Plant up in the air. In a statement on Thursday, Stellantis confirmed that it was pausing work on the vehicle as it continues to 'reassess its product strategy' in North America." --Wait a min...
-- "The Ontario government announced in 2022 that it would invest $132 million in helping Stellantis retool and modernize the Brampton plant for electric vehicle production, with a matching investment coming from the federal government." --
-- "As Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says he would be willing to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump mass-deportation plan, a new study claims the mayor’s Blue city has spent a whopping $356 million of taxpayers' hard-earned money on migrants." --Meanwhile back at the ranch...
-- "Justin Trudeau's Liberal government is asking Parliament to approve $411 million in new spending to cover the health-care costs of eligible refugees and asylum seekers." --
-- "It’s time. Four years after breaking officially became a part of the Paris 2024 program, the dance sport will finally get its share of the Olympic limelight on Friday 9 August, fittingly in the City of Light. And the B-Boys and B-Girls are ready." --Step two... it's time for Olympic Battle-Rap!
In my heart, home cocktail bars are also infrastructure. Everything's infrastructure, if you want it to be. You just have to believe.And, remember... you gotta have priorities.
The federal government spends more than $332 billion on expired programs that Congress never reauthorized.
"Here is professor @mattlasner's deleted tweet regarding the harassment of Ivanka Trump and her children on JetBlue @Hunter_College"
JetBlue kicked a Brooklyn lawyer and his college professor husband off a plane at JFK on Thursday morning — after he accosted fellow passenger and future first daughter Ivanka Trump and her family right before takeoff.There's two more names for the No-Fly List.
“Your father is ruining the country!” Dan Goldstein shouted at Trump, as she sat with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three kids in the coach section of the cabin.
Googling the presidential candidates Wednesday morning didn’t produce the exact results some people would expect. Donald Trump wasn’t included. Neither was Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson.Bias? What bias?
NBC4 reached out to Google to ask about the issue. Around noon Wednesday, Trump and Johnson were both added back to the Google search results.
Even Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department had to concede the whole "hands up don't shoot" story was a bald-faced lie. But at the Democratic Convention, Lezley McSpadden (mother of Mike Brown) was wildly cheered.Of course not.
Donald Trump, along with every other Republican ever to run for president, is required to repeatedly "disavow" David Duke -- someone he's never met, never mentioned, never thought of, and certainly didn't invite to speak at his convention.
But Hillary invites to her convention the mother of a man whose criminality destroyed a police officer's life, tore the country apart and gave birth to a murderous cop-hating movement. Will a single reporter ask Hillary to disavow that?
Hmmm... Roland Windsor Vincent... that sounds so familiar.Alberta man arrested after Air Canada flight forced back to TorontoJust another damn Alberta shitkicker... uh, wait...
Jaskaran Sidhu of Fort McMurray, Alta., has been charged with two counts of mischief, assault causing bodily harm, and endangering the safety of an aircraft.Great Gamil Gharbi, Batman!
A year-long Washington Post investigation revealed that the high-profile deaths that spark so much media and activist attention — “white police officers killing unarmed black men — represent less than 4 percent of fatal police shootings.”Funny how little you hear about the other 96%, because... professional journalism.
Perish 
Police say the victim was found with three gunshot wounds outside a highrise apartment building (at Wellesley and Parliament Street) around 10 p.m.Geez, I thought Mayor Moonbeam had solved that problem before he moved on to greener pastures...
"Nobody can deny that hobby directly results in people being shot and killed on the streets of our city," Miller said of sport shooting yesterday, amid debate on a possible gun bylaw.But, but, but... he shut down all those gun ranges years ago. Where are all those nasty bullets coming from?
Kimani Clarke, 18, is wanted for two counts of attempted murder and one count each of discharging a firearm to endanger life, aggravated assault, unauthorized possession of a firearm, knowingly possessing an unauthorized firearm and careless use of a firearm.Don't you worry, Angus... your day will come.
He is described as black, 6-foot-2, 180 pounds and with short black hair.
The Da’naxda’xw (pronounced Da-NUK-dah) have been ruled for a generation by Bill Glendale, who is described as a “hereditary chief” in a 1987 band resolution signed by 21 members, and his wife, Anne. Both are 83.You divvy up the governmental largesse, that amounts to $535,000.00 for each family member since 2001. Just a little something to consider while you ponder what diverse & wonderful things the government does with 50 percent of your wages.
They and their late son, Fred, have been the only council members since the resolution was passed [26 years ago]. The only other residents on the reserve are the Glendales’ children and grandchildren, numbering 17 in total.
“To just kind of have this drive-by smear of charities with whom the government doesn’t agree is just a dangerous, dangerous way to go,” Jim Cowan, the Liberal leader in the Senate said.Yup... why can't we all be more like Doctor David & Mr C?
"David Suzuki has called for political leaders to be thrown in jail for ignoring the science behind climate change.Apparently the good doctor is, yet again, confusing the government of Canada with the Junta in Myanmar.
"The former chief financial officer of Toronto’s embattled public housing agency could be forced to pay back nearly $60,000 for the free “executive model” vehicle he drove while allegedly pocketing a car allowance of up to $600 per month."Apparently, the housing isn't the only thing that's "affordable."
Sewell will ask that the primary goals in any policy should be to de-escalate and defuse situations instead of exercising policies of control.Ex-Mayor McPeace then cites two recent incidents as an indictment of Toronto police... unfortunately leaving out a few pertinent details.
Sewell is asking that use of force protocols should be suspended when dealing with individuals in a mental crisis.
"After leaving the hospital, the 5-foot-11, 160-pound man is believed to have injured someone (the Globe & Mail has a witness saying Eligon stabbed a shopper and injured a police officer) inside a nearby convenience store before trying to hijack a car."And Sylvia Klibingaitis...
SIU director Ian Scott said Sylvia Klibingaitis made a 911 call saying she was armed with a knife and was going to commit a crime.Sorry, folks... you're out in public with a deadly weapon and moving towards an armed copper with speed & intent... all bets are off.
“She went directly toward the subject officer holding the knife in a threatening manner,” he stated. The officer pulled out his service pistol and pointed it at Klibingaitis while stepping backward toward the street.
Hey, it ain't just me... looks like the G&M's editorial staff shares Wendy's enthusiasm for celebrity tatas.
I guess it's true... the success of any great literary enterprise is in the details.Anybody see the CBC report on election fraud in the U.S.? It focused on alleged fraud by Republicans only -- not a word about the Obama/Acorn scam. The CBC does not represent political diversity at any level -- Nationally or Internationally -- it is clearly a Left lobby organization that has little to do with objective journalism.Need an example?
Why should Canadians have to pay for that? Freedom of the press and media is guaranteed under our Charter and the CBC violates that freedom by allowing only one voice although all taxpayers are forced to fund it.
The guy currently on CBC representing "Canadians Against Electoral Fraud" was also a spokesperson for Occupy Ottawa. I'm just sayin'.A billion taxpayer dollars per year. It's time to stop the madness.
...and I'm sure that the CBC didn't know this. /sarc.
I usually make it a point to ignore the various iterations of mindless trollery that any blogger worth his keyboard must come to expect.
The blue [click] will take you to my long established commenting policy... but you can also click on the second comment directly above to see just how far this dumbstick will go to try get my attention.
Before it's too late."The Harper government has re-introduced legislation that expands the circumstances under which a citizen’s arrest can be made and that also aims to simplify laws related to self-defence and defence of property."Hey, call me wacky... that sounds... especially in light of the recent David Chen fiasco... like a good thing.
"Some [APPARENTLY UNSPECIFIED... my emphasis] legal and security experts have expressed concerns the proposed reforms could lead to vigilantism, but the government says there are enough safeguards in place."Really, Doug... "some" people? And they have "expertise", you say?
"What's so damned special about junkies that they merit the equivalent of a taxpayer funded drunk drivers' lane with rescue teams at the ready?"
They take a billion dollar taxpayer handout every year... just something to remember... the next time you hear Peter Mansworth ranting about the Prime Minister not providing full disclosure to the Canadian people.
-- OTTAWA -- The CBC has relinquished Access to Information documents to the House of Commons ethics committee. One envelope is open while the other is sealed and the CBC hopes MPs won't open the sealed one.Kill this thing... and use the annual billion dollar subsidy to prop up health care.
The CBC is fighting the information commissioner in court.
