What’s the point of such half-measures? Do the Tories think that voters would reject the idea of permanent tax relief? Why does the idea of strongly differentiating themselves from the Liberals seem to fill them with dread? In fact, why not openly call for the elimination of the industrial carbon tax and lower gas prices by taking that route?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the federal government should give Canadians at least another 10 months of relief at the pumps.
If I ever wrote a spy novel about a Chinese agent who sleeps her way into California’s top political circles, I’d totally name her ‘Fang Fang’.
The Swalwell affair just got awkwarder.
The FBI developed evidence that a Chinese woman with direct ties to that country’s intelligence service had potentially compromised a Democratic congressman from California with sex, foreign interns and illicit donations while she was being recruited to become a bureau informant a decade ago, according to bombshell memos that expose another threat to America’s political system from Beijing.
The files chronicling the relationship between Rep. Eric Swalwell and the Chinese national Fang Fang – also known by her English name Christine Fang – were declassified by President Donald Trump and released Monday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force as part of a broader effort to unmask foreign threats to U.S. political and election systems.
They show the FBI opened a predicated investigation, which is a formal law enforcement inquiry backed by a factual basis or allegation that indicates a crime or national security threat already exists.
Unlike unpredicated “assessments,” a predicated investigation allows agents to use advanced and intrusive methods like electronic surveillance or informants.
The files provide significant new details about the long-rumored relationship between Fang and Swalwell […]
The FBI assessment, which later became a full-fledged investigation, centered on allegations that Swalwell awarded internships at his offices in exchange for campaign contributions. The FBI identified Fang “Christine” Fang, a Chinese national, as the alleged facilitator of this exchange and alleged she employed conduits to route illegal donations.

On “non-binary” motherhood and other complications of the modern narcissist:
“Everything came to a head after I became a mother,” says she. Well, pretensions of themness, the craving to seem special – perhaps more special than one is – would, I suppose become harder to sustain. Given the arrival of someone more important, someone whose needs tend to come first.
You see, she’s a mother, but not a woman. And how dare you not know that.

From Sam Cooper:
Four former Western University students at the center of a sprawling firearms and explosives investigation now face 19 new charges alleging possession of TNT and three other explosive substances, prohibited magazines and silencers, while one of the accused allegedly accessed data that could be used with computerized systems to make and traffic guns.
The allegations are contained in an amended list of charges filed Tuesday, August 11, with the Ontario Court of Justice and reported by CBC News and the London Free Press, adding charges to an already unusual case that began with an overnight break-in call inside Western University’s engineering complex in January.
The four accused—Jerry Tong, 27; Zekun “Alex” Wang, 26; Fei “Frank” Han, 25; and Feiyang “Astrid” Ji, 21—now face 31 separate counts, some jointly and others individually.

Mario Zelaya is a proud Canadian and an outspoken critic of Leftist governance in Canada. A few days ago, he engaged in a discussion with Elie Cantin-Nantel.
It’s a very interesting discussion that every Canadian should watch.
Where I disagree with him is the premise that “Mark Carney May Not Recover From This”. My reasons are simple: I don’t believe that Carney and the federal Liberals are doing ANYTHING in the best interest of Canadians. I strongly believe they are taking directions from a group of people above the Canadian government, and very likely outside of Canada. So, as long as Carney satisfies what his real bosses want and the Liberals continue to control the legacy media like the puppets they are, nothing will change. The sheeple will continue to buy into the Elbows Up narrative. Finally, make no mistake, there will be a new boogeyman defined after Trump exits office.
Alberta’s fleet of 1,760 wind turbines hardly put out any power since mid-afternoon on Friday leading into at least late-morning on Saturday. And one, again, is the loneliest number when that’s the total amount of megawatts produced from the fleet of 1,760 turbines.
“I don’t know how this all ends, but right now it looks like it’s going to end in tears,” Colin Robertson, former Canadian diplomat and vice-president and fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, told BNN Bloomberg.
