GB News;

Roughly two-thirds of drivers have refused to go electric despite Labour’s push for more electric vehicles on UK roads, according to a new survey.

A survey of 1,000 drivers found that 66 per cent are not considering buying an electric vehicle, up from 56 per cent in June 2024.

The findings come as ministers continue encouraging drivers to make the switch ahead of the planned 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars as part of the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate.

A smart political party would campaign on repealing that.

What would we do without Nigerian-trained doctors?

I confronted Dr. Adegbenga Oluwaseun Rabiu at his medical office in Moose Jaw, where he is treating children of unsuspecting rural communities, about his track record in Ontario of being banned for life from practicing there following sexual abuse investigations. I asked why anyone should trust their children to his care.

Dr. Rabiu, a foreign-medical graduate from Nigeria, is currently charged with two counts of dishonest conduct by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) for allegedly hiding the fact that he was under a sexual abuse investigation in Ontario when he applied to renew his license in Saskatchewan.

Despite his concerning history of two separate sexual abuse investigations in Ontario, the CPSS continues to allow Dr. Rabiu unrestricted access to the most vulnerable members of our society: children.

If you follow the mainstream media, ever notice how conservatives seem to be the only group that is ever criticized for being “divisive”? Margaret Thatcher had a great label for politicians like Amelia Boultbee: wets.

She said in a social media post that Findlay’s election had left a void in the political landscape for those who are looking for an alternative to “NDP incompetence.”

“I feel strongly that British Columbian is best served, when it is represented by a government that values broad perspectives and stays away from polarizing extremes,” the post said. “I believe that the majority of British Columbians feel the same.”

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and the live streams just went dark: British citizens protesting the death of Henry Nowak. YouTube shut them down mid-broadcast. Starmer’s government is actively censoring protests about a child who died in police handcuffs while his killer walked free.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday announced a major fraud bust in which authorities cracked down on misuse of public funds intended for autism aid in Minnesota.

Kennedy highlighted that the original cost of the Early Intervention Development Program was a mere $38.1 million in 2020, but that it had ballooned to $442 million in 2026, with much of that increase stemming from fraud.

“Today’s arrests represent the largest autism fraud bust in American history,” he said. “This was an organized theft that exploited the most vulnerable, deceived families, stole taxpayer dollars meant to help children with autism access legitimate care and support.”

“Investigators uncovered brazen schemes that billed taxpayers for nonexistent services, fraudulent diagnoses, and fake care while criminals enriched themselves at public expense,” he added.

Montreal Gazette;

The chief of cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital has tendered his resignation and plans to move to Atlanta in September, citing rising antisemitism in Montreal and worsening problems with the province’s health-care system, The Gazette can reveal.

Dr. Emmanuel Moss, who has worked at the Jewish General for the past 10 years, has already informed his patients and his synagogue of his imminent move to the United States. Moss’s departure from Montreal marks the second high-profile Montreal Jew — after Concordia University professor Gad Saad — to decide this spring to quit the city amid a sharp increase in documented antisemitic incidents in the past three years.

During a May 12 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Saad announced he accepted a post at the University of Mississippi, where he had already worked as a scholar during a two-year leave of absence from Concordia. He spoke of death threats he received while at Concordia, saying, “I’m now leaving in large part because it became difficult for me, if not impossible, to be a high-profile Jewish professor who supports the right of Israel to exist.” […]

Reached by phone, Moss declined to give an interview or to explain his reasons for leaving Montreal. But sources close to Moss confirmed that he and his family had grown disillusioned with growing antisemitism in Montreal and what they viewed as a failure by authorities to crack down on incidents of Jew hatred — from physical assaults on Jews to vandalism of Jewish-owned businesses and the firebombing of synagogue entrances, as well as the firing of bullets at a yeshiva.

More.

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and it’s important to remember the real victims in all of this.

A leading figure in the UK Sikh federation has told the BBC the community has been “demonised” after a university student was killed by a Sikh man using a religious knife.

Earlier this week, Vickrum Digwa was found guilty of murdering Henry Nowak after stabbing the Southampton University student with a ceremonial blade Sikhs are required by their faith to carry.

The bodycam footage of stabbing victim Henry Nowak’s arrest has been released.

Henry Nowak’s case is worse than you think – 60 of the 67 minutes which he spent dying in the street were in the custody of police officers. They broke basic rules of policing and PACE, denying him basic first aid and compassion because they falsely believed he was a racist.

Indeed. Who’s laughing now, Brantford Boomer?

The old white people aren’t MAIDing away as quickly as they’d hoped for;

The Carney government regularly describes its fiscal approach as “ambitious” and “transformational,” but in reality it’s simply perpetuating a fiscal decline that’s plunging Canada deeper into red ink. To truly transform federal finances, the Carney government must reduce spending, even in areas that are politically unpopular. And to truly be ambitious, it should start by reducing elderly benefits – Ottawa’s largest single spending item.

First, some context. The Carney government plans to run annual budget deficits ranging from $66.9-billion in 2025-26 to $53.2-billion in 2030-31. Cumulatively, this six-year period in the red represents $362.4-billion in borrowing. Over that same period, Ottawa’s total debt will rise from a projected $2.3-trillion, or 72 per cent of the economy, to more than $3-trillion, or 78 per cent of the economy.

According to the Carney government’s spring economic update, elderly benefits will grow faster than any other single spending item in the budget, except debt interest costs.

I just threw that graphic in there. For context.

An “as I was saying” update: A new academic study is calculating how much money the government could save by dramatically expanding euthanasia .. including “non-voluntary” scenarios for vulnerable people.

Literary World Unveils Doomsday Machine

Forward! The Arts 5 Comments

Fintan O’Toole, literary editor of the Irish Times, calls for a “national arts strike” to extort further cash from the taxpayer. “The public has to be reminded that it really does care,” says he. And until more wallets land on the bonfire of publicly funded art, the nation’s creative titans should “close the arts centres” and “hold no poetry readings.”

One of these.

Or some holiday resort:

Because, says Mr Gold, our pronoun-stipulating essayist, a sense of connection with one’s home, one’s territory, one’s ancestry and how one came to be, is “utterly arbitrary.” A thing of no importance, unworthy of consideration. Says he, or he/him, “The only sensible form of government is one-world government.”

You see, becoming even less important, even smaller in relation to the steering of the ship, one of billions instead of millions, is a good thing, it turns out. And that irrelevance is sensible, a thing to which the rest of us should apparently aspire. Star Trek, I fear, has much to answer for.

A glimpse into the mind of the scrupulously progressive.

I’d rather that the Supreme Court ruled that aboriginal title doesn’t apply to government land either, since the acceptance of that precedent has already saddled taxpayers with billions of dollars in undeserved payouts, but at least someone finally drew a line in the sand.

The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld a ruling that Aboriginal title cannot be declared over private land, in a decision the federal government says will have an impact on the Cowichan Tribes case in British Columbia.

It’s not just the federal government that isn’t that interested in Balsillie’s advice. Most provincial governments couldn’t care less either.

Balsillie said those who thrive in today’s economy own and control intangible assets such as data, AI and IP, and the U.S. has “turbocharged their capture,” but Canada’s economic game plan has stayed stuck in the decades-old “tangible production economy era,” while the new assets of the new economy require different strategies.

A double double with a side of blue needle;

A London, Ont., doctor who assessed a patient with inflammatory bowel disease and a history of mental health issues for MAID outside a Tim Hortons location and later personally drove the man to the place his life was ended has agreed to a minimum six months’ supervision.

In another case, Dr. James MacLean failed to administer one of three drugs used in assisted deaths — one that paralyzes the body’s muscles, including the muscles involved in breathing. The patient resumed spontaneously breathing again after initially being pronounced dead, and after MacLean had already left the home.

My goodness, he agreed to a supervision. That’ll teach him.

Changing place names isn’t cheap, and it’s not made any better when the new names are often jibberish. But all levels of government in Canada seem to be happy to accept this new millstone around their necks.

The replacement of Powell River is already occurring, piece by piece and without public consultation. Powell River General Hospital was renamed in 2022, followed by the school board, both replacing “Powell River” with the name “qathet,” which means “working together.” Furthermore, the regional Vancouver Island University satellite campus was renamed to “tiwšɛmawtxʷ,” meaning “house of learning,” to eliminate references to Israel Powell, a controversial colonial official.

Because, hey, cooking is hard:

An exchange of views ensues. In which, Ms Taylor Lorenz, an “online culture journalist,” struggles with causality. Including the seemingly difficult concept that a heavy reliance on delivered takeaway, and the mindset that implies, may have some bearing on how little cash one has left at the end of the month.

You see, preparing a simple meal, even a packed lunch, is a physical impossibility for those deemed downtrodden.
