Elon Musk just created a windfall of $12 billion USD for the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, thanks to their investment in SpaceX.

That’s nearly $17,000,000,000 CDN.

The communists who run the union will still complain about him.

Waiting to board our flight in Washington and there are 3 Scotland fans in kilts walking past. An American lady says" I love your skirts"
"They're nae skirts lassie they're kilts , We're Scots not Trannies" I genuinely Lol #tartanarmy #fifaworldcup @jk_rowling

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

@anniedufour99 @hrh_elliot Fair enough.

[Darryl Millar @1Talkinghead]

@hrh_elliot @anniedufour99 Just read Integrity Annie’s posts on this site. Do you really think even know anyone person that doesn’t think or vote exactly like you? Lets go with no.

[Darryl Millar @1Talkinghead]

@hrh_elliot @anniedufour99 Absolutely correct. The contrived “neutrality “ is more editorial nonsense.

GPS Recalculating.....

Canada will never be part of the US
The old relationship is over
US is no longer a reliable partner
We must dramatically reduce reliance on the US
Flies to Washington, meets Trump at the White House
Our energy dependence, once a strength, is now a weakness
We must double our non-US exports
Negotiating with the US from weakness is not sovereignty, it's the performance of sovereignty
Middle powers must build strategic autonomy against great powers
Trade missions to India, Japan, Australia
Our close ties to America have become our weaknesses
The US has changed and we must respond
Canada Strong will help make America great again

TODAY: We need a new partnership with the US, Make America Great Again.

Everyone still following?

whatever you think about Rubio on a personal level...this is one hell of a quote.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme).

Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident.

Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité.

Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison.

Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme.

Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable.

Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion.

C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part.

Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes.

Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre.

Alors pardon. Et au travail.

@EYakoby @NewsPolitics Where are the parts of the letter saying they are expelled from Cornell. All scholarships revoked, all bursaries revoked, zero grading in all grades? Charges for harassment?
Kinda missed these parts.

🚨 NOW: Massive victory as President Trump signs executive order authorizing an ENERGY PIPELINE project to unleash oil and lower prices

KEEP DRILLING! 🇺🇸

The project is similar to KEYSTONE XL, "which will significantly expand our ability to move oil around North America."

"It's a huge deal in terms of long-term energy dominance and energy security."

[Eli Steele @Hebro_Steele]

"...the SPLC chose to publish the names, faces, and affiliations of 15 people it accused of 'anti-Muslim extremism.' The list endangered everyone it named. I know the threat of Islamist violence all too well. In 2004, a jihadist named Mohammed Bouyeri murdered my friend and collaborator Theo van Gogh on an Amsterdam street. Bouyeri shot him, cut his throat, and pinned a five-page letter to his chest with a knife. The letter was a fatwa against me. I have lived under armed protection for more than two decades because men with weapons and conviction want me dead—for apostasy...

The SPLC considers all of this beyond the pale, and accused me of using 'the political bully pulpit to bash Muslims."

And

"Tax filings uncovered by reporters in 2017 showed millions in SPLC money parked in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda. Think of it for a moment: an anti-poverty organization, headquartered in Alabama, hiding millions offshore while positioning itself as the nation’s moral conscience."

Spoke this weekend to both Americans and Canadians in British Columbia. We all want to get along and do business. Not a single person in the room saw the other country as a threat or a weakness.

Not one.

On both sides of the border, people are simply looking beyond the political noise. Politicians come and go, all of them. What remains are resilient farmers, food manufacturers, and restaurant operators—people constantly looking for opportunity. Everyone in that room understood that.

We owe our quality of life and our way of living to each other. We just can't forget that.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

Prime Minister Carney’s message today was largely expected.

The warning signs have been there for months, especially as he increased his international travel. We’ve also reached this point because he has not delivered on his key promise to secure a deal with the United States—a commitment that was both economically important and politically central. In that context, suggesting that the United States is no longer an ally is, quite frankly, hard to believe.

What we’re now seeing is a clear weakening of CUSMA as a reliable trade framework. The possibility of a direct deal between the United States and Mexico—leaving Canada on the sidelines—is no longer far-fetched. That would be a major shift for how trade works in North America.

For the agri-food sector, the risks are real. About 75% of Canada’s agri-food exports go to the United States. That has worked well for years, but it also means we are highly exposed. Diversifying sounds good in theory, but in practice it takes time, money, and new infrastructure. In the meantime, farmers, processors, and distributors would feel the pressure through tighter margins.

In food, geography matters. You can’t move farmland. What we produce has to be shipped, and the farther the customer, the higher the cost. That makes us less competitive. On logistics and supply chains, Canada still trails several G20 countries.

PM Carney's use of “forward guidance” is really about preparing Canadians for what’s ahead, and perhaps shifting blame. But make no mistake, Canada’s position is weakening.

This isn’t really about opinions—it’s about reality. The real test will be how Canadian households, especially the middle class, handle the pressure. The adjustment is coming.

The only question is who will bear the cost.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

"It took three days for any reporter to ask Prime Minister Mark Carney where the $14 billion would come from to support the grocery benefit program. And it took the U.S. Ambassador to Canada—an American—to tell Canadians in August 2025 that we were in breach of CUSMA and that counter-tariffs were driving grocery prices higher. Prime Minister Carney eliminated those counter-tariffs just two weeks later.

Our media is sleepwalking—and that weakens our democracy."

[Darryl Millar @1Talkinghead]

@gregbradyx Because they dont exist in masses. It’s more of the same petty, anti American, frankly penis envy so many Canadian’s suffer from.
The absolute smugness of so many Canadian is truly galling.
