The Line- The government tried to spin us about Israel, and we have proof

Over the weekend, as Canadians in Israel tried to contact the Canadian embassy in Tel Aviv, they found it was closed and found no help. Reports of this spread over social media; The Line has directly spoken to several people over social media or by telephone with such stories. These were people who were either in Israel or outside of it but needed help getting a loved one back to Canada. They were unable to reach anyone at the embassy.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

What do you do if you’re a news reporter and the biggest story of the day, if not the election, falls right into your lap?

Well, if you work for CBC Winnipeg, the answer appears to be ‘news be damned’ if it doesn’t fit the narrative being promoted at the moment.

The Black Rod happened to be on the scene when a deranged man smashed out the windows of a clearly marked CBC vehicle on Main Street in broad daylight Monday afternoon.

The female reporter cowered in the front seat, weeping while speaking to someone on her cell phone. The male camera man huddled in fear in the back seat as he, also, talked on his phone. Neither of the news crew was using their phone to capture video of the attack.

The car was parked outside of Our Place/Chez Nous at 676 Main St. just south of Higgins. The CBC team had obviously just interviewed some of the directors of the drop-in centre that’s closing after 30 years on the Strip amidst, as their CBC report later that evening put it, “growing safety concerns for those who staff it.”

Did someone replace all the staff at CTV news recently? That seems to be the only logical explanation for the presence of such a story on their website. A number of water carriers for the current regime appear to have failed in their duty.

According to the report, Canada’s economic output per person (real GDP per capita) has actually been decreasing for many years.

Back in the 1980s, the report points out, Canada was doing better than the average of advanced economies by about US$4,000 per person. Over time, however, the advantage faded, and the U.S. jumped to US$8,000 a person, according to TD.

Before anyone gets too excited however, it’s obvious that the report is careful not to dig too deep when it comes to reasons for the trend. That might invite criticism of our burgeoning welfare state and the exploding debt levels that go along with it.

Last week an author at Business Insider wrote a story about the large number of people leaving the state of Florida. The story was based on newly released census data which had been published as an excel spreadsheet. It was clear from the thrust of the story that the author’s interest was in taking a shot at Gov. DeSantis and simultaneously defending the honor of California and New York, blue states which have been losing population.

Globe and Mail- Prime Minister Trudeau heads to NATO summit as Canada expected to play key role in discussions

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is heading to the NATO leaders’ summit in Lithuania this week, where Canada is likely to play a larger-than-usual role in two critical discussions: the alliance’s expanding membership and its efforts to refocus on collective defence.

Wall Street Journal- Canada Is a Military Free-Rider In NATO

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Lithuania this week for the annual NATO summit, but it’s too bad there wasn’t a junior table where he could sit. That’s where his country belongs based on Ottawa’s feeble commitment to alliance defense.

“Whiplash, indeed.”

For centuries, Tulare Lake occupied the cultural and spiritual center of the Tachi Yokut tribe of California’s Central Valley. The lake was foundational to the tribe’s creation story and provided the resources needed to thrive. Between the late 19th– and early 20th–centuries, a rather direct form of anthropological climate change saw the lake drained completely dry, devasting the Tachi Yokut way of life. Upstream waters were dammed and diverted with abandon, and the region was largely converted to prime agricultural farmland. Since that time, elders of the tribe tell stories of the lake’s mythical role in their people’s former way of life, passing down the belief that it would someday be returned to them.

In 2023, salvation arrived in the form of “the greatest year-over-year water gains in two decades.” Throughout California, historic drought has been beaten back by a string of monstrous precipitation episodes, leaving the media rather confused as to whether this is something to be celebrated. For the Tachi Yokut tribe, the recent turn of events is nothing short of a miracle, as Tulare Lake has indeed reappeared as the elders had prophesized. They are now fighting with state authorities to keep the lake the way it was before settlers interfered. Here’s how the Los Angeles Times describes the surprising turn of events…

National Post- Ottawa, Quebec pull advertising, escalating showdown with Facebook and Instagram

The federal and Quebec governments will stop advertising on Meta-owned platforms Facebook and Instagram as the conflict between the company and Ottawa heats up over legislation that would force web giants to share revenues with news publishers.

Not so fast there buckaroo…

But the Liberal government’s decision does not extend to the party. Liberal Party of Canada spokesperson Parker Lund said in a statement that the party would continue to advertise on Meta-owned platforms. According to the company’s ad library, the party spent nearly $15,000 on over 1,000 ads in the past month.

Y2Kyoto: Down In Flames

“Experts say dry air, strong winds, parched trees and grass and soaring temperatures caused the Oak fire to expand rapidly through the rugged foothills in recent days. The area has experienced nearly two weeks of triple digit temperatures and low humidity,” The Guardian reported of the Oak Fire as it spread. “All this comes at a time when the state is seeing increasingly destructive and deadly blazes and the climate crisis creates conditions ripe for destruction.”

Taxpayer funded (in part) PBS emphasized that the Oak Fire was one of the “devastating consequences” of the “global climate crisis.”

Over at CNN, Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir explained how a “‘megadrought’ driven by climate change that is affecting California and other western states has left plenty of dry, flammable material that can become fuel so quickly, especially when humidity is low and winds are high.”

I won’t spoil the punchline.

The irony is thick here.

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.

They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.

This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
