Why are buildings far uglier today than in times past?

Part of the reason is that regulations punish builders who use materials deemed to be high carbon.

What materials does the government deem to be high carbon? Bricks.

Yes, bricks.

Mad regulations suggest bricks wear out and have to be replaced after just 60 years, which will come as a surprise to anyone, like me, who lives in a victorian house.

In fact, @createstreets has estimated that nearly half the country's homes are made out of bricks that are more than 60 years old.

These regulations have undoubtedly played a part in helping to shut down our brick factories. Production has collapsed from two billion bricks in 2022 to 1.3 billion bricks in 2024.

We've accidentally created a de facto ban on one of the most sustainable building materials we have. Thick as a brick.

I visited the 'Nakba' exhibit, and it is every bit as anti-Jewish as feared, writes Adam Katz.

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry says “It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on,” as major media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations ease back on emission-reduction targets, and polls consistently show the public rates climate change low on their list of priorities.

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

The funniest thing about the Middle East conflict and the west’s perception of it, is that every single “Palestinian” leader all the way back to the grand mufti and Yasser Arafat have declared clearly and proudly that their goal is no Israel and dead Jews, and the very people who support their cause in the west refuse to actually believe them.

So are the “Palestinians” little children who should not be held accountable for their words because “They don’t mean it” or are they adults who should he held accountable?

If they’re adults, then perhaps they should not be given a state being as they live to kill Jews and if they’re little kids who you don’t hold accountable for their words, then why do you want to give them a state?

You can’t make this stuff up.

Why yes, that is the Grand Mufti, the original “Palestinian” leader sitting with the mustache man, why do you ask?

They seem like nice people who definitely deserve their own sovereign state.

What could possibly go wrong?

"PM Carney never actually promised a CUSMA deal by July 1. What he did promise, months ago, was to reduce tariff uncertainty. Instead, as July 1 arrives, trade uncertainty is set to increase—not decrease. And Canada is far less equipped than the U.S. to absorb prolonged trade uncertainty. That should concern everyone."

Yet another country realizes that Israel is the true democracy, and Israel should be supported. Could somebody please forward this to CBC and CNN. They seem to have missed it.

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

This weekend, more than 60 business and community leaders from across Canada have sent a clear message: antisemitism is not just a Jewish problem; it is a threat to all Canadians, and confronting it requires everyone to act.

We commend their leadership and their call for all Canadians to join our fight.

Read the letter and share it widely. Every Canadian who speaks out makes the extremists weaker and our country stronger.

How do I know that the climate *crisis* is a scam?

Here are five reasons:

1️⃣ None of the politicians, celebrities, or “scientists” yammering about it have altered their lifestyles by an inch. If they opted to forgo using O&G products, then I’d take them seriously. Actions speak louder than words.

2️⃣ Climate conferences aren’t being held virtually on Zoom using their large meeting extensions. It’s doable, they just choose not to. They like to fly overseas to lecture us about reducing our “carbon footprint” all the while they do nothing to lower their own.

3️⃣ Wealthier alarmists are still living on or buying oceanfront property. If ocean levels were really rising at a catastrophic rate (as opposed to the gradual increase that is actually occurring), then they would move inland and banks would not approve loans.

4️⃣ Alarmists rarely, if ever criticize China and India, and they always come up with all sorts of wonderful excuses as to why those nations get a free pass to continue emitting so-called “carbon pollution.”

5️⃣ The only solutions they offer involve increased governmental power. Higher taxes. EV mandates. Restrictions or bans on the energy sectors they don’t like.

And, as an added bonus, no real-world data proves, much less suggests that we are facing an “existential crisis.” Even the IPCC doesn’t use such rhetoric because it isn’t based on science.

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

Here’s all you really need to know.

Want peace in the Middle East?

Instead of marching in support of Islamic terror (Which is what ‘Globalize the intifada’ means), how about marching in support of the Islamic terror states in the Middle East laying down their weapons?

There would be instant peace.

Unless.. Unless your march has nothing to do with peace and everything to do with Jews.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Another price of Palestinian terrorism - not only 10/7 but the Second Intifada of the early 2000s - has been the sundering of what should be a single economic zone, including a single labor market. Israeli security is the indispensable prerequisite to Palestinian prosperity.

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

More than 1,000 Israeli soldiers are dead and many thousands more bear life-altering wounds because Israel chose the harder path. Rather than indiscriminately bombing everything in its way—as many militaries have done—Israeli troops fought house to house against a merciless enemy that deliberately hid behind civilians and turned them into human shields.

🚨 Israel 🇮🇱 withdrawing its defence attaché from Canada 🇨🇦

Ambassador Moed: relations at their “worst ever” because of Ottawa’s stance on Gaza/Hamas 🇵🇸. Resources going to “high-interest partners” instead.

While Canada restricts military exports to Israel and recognizes a Palestinian state, we still host IRGC 🇮🇷 linked networks, Hamas sympathizers, and radical elements operating freely on our soil. 🏴

As a retired Veteran & LEO who protected the PM and GG, I know exactly what defence attachés do. Intelligence sharing, military cooperation, and alliance strength. This move hurts Canada’s security interests.

This isn’t principled foreign policy. It’s virtue-signaling that pushes away a frontline democratic ally in the fight against jihadist terrorism while we stay soft on the actual threats.

Carney/Trudeau Liberal approach: Tough on our friends. Weak on our enemies.

I’m not even surprised any more. Their hatred of the West trumps danger to Canadians, including themselves. #suicidalempathy

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

The Fraser Institute report should be a wake-up call.

Alberta’s competitiveness advantage exists before carbon policy is added.

Once carbon taxes and Net Zero costs are imposed, Alberta’s advantage is weakened or lost.

That is exactly why Ottawa’s carbon agenda is so damaging to our future.

[Lorrie Goldstein @sunlorrie]

Israel’s defence attaché is departing for home and will not be replaced at the country’s embassy in Canada – a sign, experts say, of an erosion of bilateral relations with Ottawa as ties remain strained over Gaza.

@KavitaAlguMD Canada should deepen cooperation with Israel & Lebanon to defeat Hezbollah and support Lebanese and Israeli efforts to build peace between neighbours.

[Mark Goldfeder @MarkGoldfeder]

Dear @NYCMayor,
Comparing Israel to Saudi Arabia doesn't prove evenhandedness, it proves ignorance. One is a Jewish democracy with equal citizenship for non-Jews. One is an absolute monarchy governed by sharia. If you can't tell the difference, the problem is you. Let me explain:

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay @KerryLynneFindl]

Premier Eby continues to signal that British Columbia will not support a new energy corridor from Alberta, even as our neighbours prepare their proposal for July 1.

This is the same pattern we have seen for years. Ideology first, British Columbians second.

The Trans Mountain Expansion proved what responsible resource development delivers right here in our province: $13.5 billion added to British Columbia’s GDP during construction, 37,756 person-years of employment, and $6.2 billion in wages for BC workers. Over the next twenty years it will generate billions more in tax revenue that can support our hospitals, schools, and essential services.

Alberta and Saskatchewan are ready to work with us. Through our Western Alliance we will advance pipelines, upgrade highways and rail, double port capacity, and get our resources to world markets while building strong partnerships with Indigenous communities.

A Finley government will show up at the table, fight for British Columbia’s interests, and say yes to projects that create good jobs and real revenue. The NDP’s default of “no” has cost families too much already.

British Columbians deserve leadership that delivers prosperity, not excuses.
