Blacklock’s- Media Unfair, Say CBC Execs
“Very disappointing and frustrating,” wrote Chuck Thompson, CBC chief of staff to the executive vice president. Thompson in an August 12 email complained media “gave us no time” to justify yearly bonuses worth $14.9 million.

announced he won’t seek re-election in his Toronto riding of Eglinton-Lawrence. He also takes parting shots at the Trudeau government’s stance on Israel.
A young British woman named Kate shares her thoughts about why she left the UK and likely won’t be moving back. One wonders how many young people across Canada are having similar thoughts about leaving.
But you can never leave…

Zerohedge- Republicans Have The Slimmest House Majority Since 1931, What It Means
If no one quickly wins the gavel, certification of President-elect Trump’s victory could be delayed. Rules then would make Senator Chuck Grassley the president.
That is possible, but highly unlikely in practice, explained below.
However, at least one Republican is a confirmed no for Johnson. A second no would do Johnson in.
Sun- How four missing bolts ruined Boeing’s 2024 flight plan
Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, told reporters in August that documents and interviews with workers show that Boeing has known for years about problems in its manufacturing program.

Telegraph- Don’t go outside in the morning or evening, NHS warns as Britain braces for snow
The advice comes as an amber cold weather alert has been issued across England for the next week. The UKHSA upgraded an earlier yellow warning to amber, warning of “significant impacts” on health services. According to the agency, amber alerts are issued when health and social care is impacted and there is “potential for the whole population to be at risk”.
Sounds serious. How cold is it going to get?
Temperatures could fall as low as -8C on Thursday night in rural southern Scotland and northern England, the Met Office said. It will also be cold in rural Wales and the south-west of England, with -6C expected.
And that’s why it’s best you start practicing – ‘Allahu Akbar!’
This religious-inspired evil mayhem has been going on for a long time, centuries really, but the sanitizing accusation of “Islamophobia” as a concept is apparently a French academic’s invention from 1910. It was brought into English usage by Columbia University professor cum Palestinian activist Edward Said in 1985 and took off to the extent that it has been raised every time the moment a Muslim terror act occurs in the decades since 9/11.
Its pervasive adoption by liberal elites is moral narcissism and virtue signaling at their purest and have prevented Western society from seeing its own destruction when its standing in front of them. Europe, as we knew it, is on the edge of extinction.
To be blunt and obvious, the actual source of this problem has nothing to do with a phobia of any sort and stems from a literal reading of key parts of the original texts of a warlike Seventh Century tribalist ideology. Its calls for “jihad” are often excused as “spiritual,” but in reality are anything but. That ideology has not been significantly reformed but is continually being refreshed and enhanced—everywhere on the globe, including right here in the USA.
We see that in a video of what children are being taught at a Islamic school in Philadelphia. They chant in unison: “We will Sacrifice Ourselves for Al-Aqsa; Will Chop off their Heads, Subject Them to Eternal Torture.” There’s more from these tykes if you care to click on it. (Warning: very creepy) Like the New Orleans terrorist, they’re all good “US citizens.”
Needless to say, these children are not taught there were two Jewish Temples standing where their beloved Al-Aqsa now sits, the first one, built by King Solomon roughly sixteen hundred years before the existence of Islam.
Toronto: Party like it’s the year 610.
It was right around the time a man walked up to me, leaned close to my face and asked how much I had been paid to write a story talking about the benefits of the Weyburn wind project that I had an epiphany…
Brian Zinchuk: In opposing a wind project, Weyburn might want to be careful what they wish for
This is the column I referenced in those Weyburn wind stories. While I still very much question wind generation in a macro sense, I definitely had an epiphany when it came to NIMBY and the Weyburn wind project being presented by Enbridge. If an energy project can’t get built by an oil town, what’s going to happen when we want to start building reactors? Or a major pipeline is proposed?
And on Sunday, I stopped at the Bekevar Wind Facility. I posted a few videos from there, which I will eventually post as stories on the site. For the second time in a row, there was zero power being produced as not one turbine turned in the hour or so I was there. The wind was around 2-4 knots, according to weather reports.

🚨 #BREAKING: Trump Las Vegas Cybertruck Bomber identified as 37 year old Matthew Livelsberger of Colorado Springs
The FBI has just executed a search warrant on his home in CO, per KOAA
Local media reports he has military experience, similar to that of the New Orleans attacker.
Heavily armed police have been seen entering the area around the suspect’s home.
Authorities are continuing to investigate a link between Livelsberger and the New Orleans attacker, as they both served at the SAME base, Fort Bragg, and both rented EVs from Turo.
This is getting weirder by the hour.
And weirder.
Here’s an interesting video entitled Major Blizzards in History.
Your best cold or hot news tips are deeply appreciated!
Being a Canadian living in America, I want to learn more about my adopted homeland, so I recently purchased The U.S. Constitution and Other Writings. It begins with the Silence Dogood letters, which were written by Benjamin Franklin in 1722, at the young age of 17. Using this pseudonym, he wrote 14 letters, which were published in the New-England Courant, a newspaper published by his older brother, James.
Letter #8 is particularly interesting because it deals with the subject of Free Speech. In the letter, he mostly quotes an article published two years earlier in the London Journal. You can read the entire letter, but here is a critical portion:
Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech; which is the Right of every Man, as far as by it he does not hurt or countroul the Right of another: And this is the only Check it ought to suffer, and the only Bounds it ought to know.
This sacred Privilege is so essential to free Governments, that the Security of Property, and the Freedom of Speech always go together; and in those wretched Countries where a Man cannot call his Tongue his own, he can scarce call any Thing else his own.
Fast forward 300 years, and we find scoundrels like John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Keir Starmer, Justin Trudeau and his fellow Liberals, and assorted government officials throughout the EU, all openly insisting that Free Speech be eliminated.
Make no mistake, we have entered a Very Dark Age, where there is a concerted effort by powerful people to silence, punish, and imprison anyone who dares speak out against their despicable policies and actions. The next time you hear anyone speak of misinformation or disinformation or “hateful speech”, know that the motivations behind their words lie somewhere between malicious and pure evil.
Someone has audience envy.
Who knew that a Canadian court would side with the rightful owners of a piece of property for once? I’m sure this will be denounced as a slap in the face to “reconciliation” but in the meantime it’s good to know that not everyone in authority desires a return to mob rule.
Court of King’s Bench Justice Sarah Inness granted the injunction Monday afternoon, ordering over a dozen people alleged to be participating in the blockade to stop preventing access to the roughly seven hectares of forest land owned by Tochal Development Group south of the Perimeter Highway.
About 50 people, including neighbouring residents and First Nations, gathered Monday morning in the camp, which was set up over the weekend. They’re demanding the city to step in and stop the developer from chopping down trees in what they say is sacred land that must be preserved.

Another vehicular mass casualty event has been reported, this one in New Orleans. Dozens have been injured and killed. More to follow in this thread.
CNN is covering with live updates.
“We do know that the city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack,” Cantrell said, noting the incident is still under investigation.
Shortly later, an FBI agent told reporters, “This is not a terrorist event.” It was not immediately clear why the mayor and the FBI had differing information.
This is purportedly a photo of the perp but it appears fake to me.
The Ford Lightning with Texas plates may be a rental.
JUST IN: It appears the Ford F150 truck used in the New Orleans attack was a vehicle rented through the Turo app, a carsharing company.
Truck owner Rodrigo Diaz told ABC News that he rented this truck to an individual through Turo and that he is currently talking to the FBI.— Jordan Lippincott (@JordanLippin) January 1, 2025
Western Standard: Local media identified the killer as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar.
New: There are now multiple suspects
@JackPosobiec – Hearing Jabbar was reported twice to his Army COC for Islamic extremist views and they were too scared of causing a racial and religious issue to address. Plus, ISIS flag confirmed.… Andy Ngo uncovered further photos of Jabbar. He was a father and a veteran. He was also selling weapons.
The Louisiana Governor has declared a state of emergency.
🚨 JUST IN: Investigators have reviewed a video of 3 men and a women placing EXPLOSIVES around the French Quarter in New Orleans, per AP That video has not been released to the public.

Wild. Both the New Orleans pickup truck and the Cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas were rented using the Turo app.
Potential act of terrorism: “All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.” … rigged with a detonation system, according to CNN.
