I'm taking a social media break to focus on my life in the real world. I feel like most of my goals as a nuclear advocate on this forum have been achieved here in Ontario. For those that need to reach me, I can be contacted via email.

Ontario is a nuclear energy superpower. Our plan to protect Ontario is building the first small modular reactors in the G7 and the first large-scale nuclear facilities in decades, creating 150,000 new jobs and adding hundreds of billions to our economy.

Canada wants to defend its sovereignty against the United States. A crucial first step is to defend its integrity against those who'd carve the country's territory up into quasi-independent sub-nations. My latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/m7tVtXbe5S

The Graham-Blumenthal bill to enact secondary sanctions on Russia has 87 cosponsors in the Senate. Senators from all parts of the political spectrum believe it’s necessary to get to peace. It will take about a month after its enacted for Putin to begin to feel the cost.

Pass it.

Brampton Man Arrested In Conspiracy To Commit An Indictable Offence Investigation

A Brampton man is facing multiple charges following an early-morning incident near a transit stop on Saturday, Dec. 27.

Police say that around 1 a.m., a victim exited a transit bus in the area of Chinguacousy Road and Drinkwater Road and was followed by an unknown individual. The suspect allegedly approached the victim and claimed to be in possession of a firearm.

The victim contacted police, and officers located the suspect a short distance away. During the interaction with officers, the accused allegedly produced an imitation firearm and threw it into a nearby snow bank.

Jagdeep Singh, 20, of Brampton, was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.

Police say that at the time of his arrest, Singh was also carrying a backpack containing rope, rolls of tape, gloves, and two knives.

The investigation is ongoing.

This is the canard many chain restaurant lobbyists spread - "Canadian kids don't want to do <insert job here>"

In reality some chain restaurants don't want to pay what the prevailing market wage would be if there wasn't an endless supply of indentured foreign labour, or train.

The admin put pressure on both Israel and Hamas in order to secure an agreement

The U.S. is seizing Venezuelan oil tankers in addition to the military buildup

However, the U.S. has not enacted secondary sanctions on Russia to apply enough pressure

Pressure works. Apply it.

Nothing says the peace and joy of the Christmas season quite like taking over a major shopping mall and calling for violent attacks on Jews.
This is Toronto now.
The tone is set at the top with the mayor and police chief.

This is what Christmas is about. Sharing time and good food with family.

Great piece by @howardanglin in the @TheHubCanada.

Don Cherry "is the living refutation of the idea that to be Canadian means having a negative identity, based self-consciously on not being something else... (He) showed you can be proudly, defiantly, and unmistakably Canadian while rejecting the hand-wringing of Official Canada and their endless studies and symposia about what it means to be Canadian."

Alors que l’année touche à sa fin, réfléchissons au pouvoir des possibilités. La technologie CANDU® fournit bien plus que de l’énergie : elle soutient la production d’isotopes médicaux vitaux, renforce la main-d’œuvre canadienne et stimule la croissance économique. Fort de décennies d’expertise et d’un héritage éprouvé, le Canada façonne un avenir plus prometteur, plus solide et riche de potentiel.

Nous vous souhaitons une saison des Fêtes empreinte de chaleur, d’espoir et d’inspiration pour l’année à venir.

Here we go again. Another Canadian judge bending the rules, another criminal spared real consequences, and another group of victims left behind, wondering how justice in this country became so detached from common sense.

A Judge cuts a sentence to spare a sex offender from deportation.

[Canadians for CANDU @Canadians4CANDU]

Canada’s nuclear industry already employs over 76,000 people across professional roles and skilled trades.

As new reactors become available, the potential for job growth is expansive, but it depends on which technology we choose. CANDU® could support up to 60,000 additional jobs nationwide with a single reactor. Investing in CANDU® means expanding opportunities for engineers, skilled trades, researchers, and countless other Canadians across the country.
