Bloviating Blowhard
While Dougie is trying to paint his climb down as a win, it’s very likely that Diageo would have spent this money in exactly the same way had there been no kerfuffle over the Ontario plant closure in the first place.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Crown Royal will remain on liquor store shelves in the province after its parent company agreed to $23 million in spending in Ontario.
Journalists are the Biggest Threat to Journalism
In this video editorial, the WSJ’s Gerard Baker, explains that modern day journalists are the biggest threat to their own profession. Of course, he has to throw in some mandatory barbs against Trump. Ignore those and listen carefully to the greater points he makes.
Nites Ov De Rod
…private trucking programs charging $2,500 or less in tuition are exempt from licensing and regulation by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). This has created a gray area where nearly 200 such schools issue non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) with little accountability.
Lewie Pugh, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), told the DCNF that this lack of enforcement is part of a broader federal failure in trucking oversight. He argued that even the basic federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements are poorly enforced, allowing inadequate programs to persist and produce underprepared drivers — foreign or domestic — who pose risks on the highways.[…]
Pugh described the federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) program, launched in 2022 as the first real requirement for new truckers, as fundamentally ineffective. Applicants simply complete an online registration, find a registered trainer (who needs only minimal qualifications), and have the trainer check off topics taught — often with no meaningful behind-the-wheel instruction required.
Cold, Canuck Hands
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have proven themselves incompetent and untrustworthy before, but never at this scale.
In 2021, the RCMP presided over a massive data breach. More than 2.2 million licenced firearms owners were affected.Names. Addresses. Contact details. Licencing records.
A veritable Christmas wish list for criminals, and everyone responsible for it stayed quiet.
This was not a minor IT mishap. It was a catastrophic failure of basic data stewardship.
The RCMP outsourced core functions of the Canadian Firearms Program to an unidentified third party. That vendor was hit with a ransomware attack. The RCMP insisted that, while there “was no indication that any personal information was viewed or extracted, it is not possible to confirm that it was not accessed.”
Read that again.
“It is not possible to confirm,” yet the RCMP chose to give themselves a full pass instead of holding themselves accountable.
If It Weren’t For Fake Hate
There is a major verdict out of Texas where a mother and an attorney were ordered to pay millions for perpetuating an alleged hate crime hoax that was eagerly spread by the mainstream media. Asher Vann, a minor at the time, was labeled a racist maniac who tortured SeMarion Humphrey, his black classmate, with other classmates. After the court found that the allegations were false and intentional infliction of emotional distress, the same media that spread the story remained conspicuously silent. Crickets. […]
The Vann case is likely to be reviewed by many lawyers outside Texas. It is a case that could be replicated in future cases involving lawyers accused of fueling reckless or inflammatory public claims. The fact that the damages were evenly divided between the mother and the lawyer shows the level of culpability that the jury assigned to the role of the lawyer.

Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself
Obama’s close friend and former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is OUT at Goldman Sachs after her deep connection to Jeffrey Epstein was exposed by documents released by the Trump administration.
No wonder Biden and Kamala didn’t make an effort to release these files when they were in power!
More: Ruemmler was so close to Epstein that she called the convicted sex offender “Uncle Jeffrey.”
Voter Id: Same Tune, Different Verse
Five years ago, the Democrats insisted that voter id laws should not be passed because black people were too stupid to get an id, gain access to the Internet, etc. Don’t believe me? Here are endless Woke White Leftists on the Berkeley, California university campus saying it.
The same interviewer, Ami Horowitz, then went to New York City, to find out if black people were really as stupid as the White Democrats insisted they were.
Now, in 2026, the Democrats have changed their tune slightly, insisting that women are too stupid to get the required id to vote.
For the record, the vast majority of Americans are very much in support of the SAVE Act.
