Circling The Drain

Since everyone knows these “limits” are never going to be enforced, the EU is like the father endlessly shouting “don’t make me come up there!”

A ministry source told reporters the public debt would reach 119.3% of GDP in 2026 and 121.7% in 2027, more than double the 60% of GDP reference limit EU member countries are required to aim for.

France is the third most indebted country in the eurozone, behind only Greece and Italy.

“20-30 shots fired. Doug Ford is disgusted”. Carney has “thoughts”.

Two people are critically injured, including a police officer, after a shooting outside a Belleville, Ont., synagogue Sunday night.

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said a Belleville police officer was outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue near Victoria and Bleecker avenues at approximately 7 p.m. when there was an “exchange of gunfire” with a man who was carrying a rifle.

Both the suspect and the officer sustained gunshot wounds and were taken to hospital, the SIU said. The officer is in critical, but stable condition. The suspect is in life-threatening condition.

But most importantly, we must guard against Islamophobia.

Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC

“Long live Mao!

50 years after his death, the father of Communist China still inspires” was recently published by the French-language arm of the CBC.

It documents Chinese Mao fanatics who gathered in Shaoshan (Mao’s hometown) to publicly revere and remember the architect of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, which combined claimed the lives of between 40 and 80 million people.

Given the adoration of the people who are the focus of the coverage, the story strikes an undeniably nostalgic, positive tone — which has left many upset — and Conservative MPs were quick to pick up on the story, condemning the state broadcaster for such flagrant pro-Mao/pro-China propaganda.

They know which side their bread is buttered on.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Buses

When leading U.S. electric transit bus manufacturer Proterra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2023, it sparked widespread public scrutiny of the hundreds of millions in government funding the company had received over its 19-year history. For taxpayers, transit agencies, and policymakers, the collapse raised urgent questions: Where did all the public funding go? What claims do government entities have in the bankruptcy proceedings? And what does this mean for future public investments in zero-emission transportation? This guide breaks down every key detail of Proterra’s government funding sources, related bankruptcy claims, and broader implications for public EV programs.

Tommy Douglas, Not Dead Enough

Well, at least it was free.

Hanke’s partner, Morgan Kirby, told media gathered at C.P. Seeley Park that Hanke broke her ankle in three places when she slipped while retrieving a package from her front step on Aug. 12.

Kirby said she was sent home from Royal University Hospital and scheduled for surgery three days later, but she was then sent home again because there was no record of the scheduled surgery when she arrived for it.

She died five days later while waiting for a new date for the operation, he said.

“No one’s shocked, and that’s the scary part,” Kirby said. “We should be shocked right now. We should be floored. And we’re not.

“Because we all have heard this happen way too many times. It keeps happening. It keeps happening. It can’t happen.”

The family was told Hanke died from blood clots that travelled from the ankle into her lungs.

More root causes.
