Blarney from Carney on immigration

A rule of thumb when assessing any announcement by Prime Minister Mark Carney is to look for the fine print.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the deal to open the Gordie Howe bridge, negotiations around the sale of the Stellantis plant or the budget; the devil is always in the details.

Look at what Carney used to think about TFW’s

Don’t let temporary foreign workers drive down wages: Carney

OTTAWA—Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney warned the federal government not to allow temporary foreign workers to take jobs away from Canadians or drive down wages.

“One doesn’t want an over-reliance on temporary foreign workers for lower-skilled jobs,” the head of the central bank told the Commons finance committee.

Relying too much on temporary employees from abroad distorts wage adjustments that lead to Canadians getting better pay and delays changes that make companies more efficient, Carney said.

Evacuation zone lifted after bomb found at Illinois ethanol plant

Residents were ordered to evacuate parts of an Illinois community on Friday after the mayor there said authorities found a bomb at a local ethanol- and alcohol-production plant.

The discovery reported at BioUrja Renewables in Peoria triggered a mandatory evacuation over a one-mile evacuation zone encompassing sections of that city as well as the adjacent municipality of East Peoria. Officials ultimately lifted the evacuation zone at about 1.25pm local time on Saturday – but only after making it clear there had genuinely been a bomb found and ruling out the presence of any other explosives.

“It is real – this is a real thing,” Peoria’s mayor, Rita Ali, initially said, according to local news outlet WMBD. “We know that is a real threat. We know it is a bomb.”

Fireworks wielding replacement foreigners responsible for 760 public service complaints stemming from dangerous cult ritual

Brampton has issued $37,500 in fines after a wave of complaints about fireworks and public disturbances during this year’s Diwali celebrations, despite a city-wide ban on fireworks, but that number could rise.

The City of Brampton says it received 1,688 service requests between Nov. 6 and 9, with about 45 percent related to fireworks and public nuisance.

That means roughly 760 of the requests involved fireworks or disturbances, highlighting the challenges facing the city as it tries to enforce its prohibition during one of the year’s biggest celebrations.

They are going to BURN DOWN the city.

This is SO ridiculous!

Ground stop blamed on archaic equipment at ‘remote location’ that was running country’s entire airspace

Trump’s transportation secretary has blamed archaic equipment found in a ‘remote location’ as the preliminary cause of the historic ground stop that halted the nation’s air travel for hours.

Department of Transportation Chief Sean Duffy told reporters at a press conference at the agency’s headquarters on Saturday that a contractor, L3 Harris, was replacing old technology at a ‘remote location’ when the air traffic control communications issue began.

Duffy said that a contractor was doing maintenance at at least one of four remote Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) locations and was switching lines from old copper wire to fiber before communications stalled.

Former environment minister says Canada’s commitment to climate targets ‘factually untrue’

Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin is being accused of lying by two of her predecessors for saying Canada is still committed to its Paris targets.

Dabrusin is in Antalya, Turkey for COP31, the annual United Nations climate conference.

In an interview with The Canadian Press before the trip, Dabrusin said Canada is “absolutely committed” to its Paris Accord climate commitments. It’s a line the government has maintained despite every report and study over the past 18 months saying Canada is unlikely to meet those Paris targets.

Finally a good news story!

Mullin: ‘No Indication‘ of a ‘Nefarious Attack‘ After FAA Grounds Flights

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said there is “no indication” that there was a “nefarious attack” after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded all flights in the U.S.

It’s difficult to take him at his word.

Imagine the commercial devastation wrought by fear of an AI attack on aviation.

AI could escape human grasp within 6 months, Canadian Nobel winner warns European leaders

Artificial intelligence could soon grow beyond the controlling grasp of humans.

That’s the dire warning that professor Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize winner and professor emeritus in the University of Toronto computer science department, is set to deliver to European leaders at an AI summit in Dublin, reports the Daily Mail.

Hinton didn’t believe that would be possible for a few years. However, after sitting through this year’s AI Safety Foundation’s “Hinton Lectures” at U of T this week, he changed his tune. The conclusion of Hinton lecturer and AI researcher Paul Christinao is that this frightening benchmark may occur within three years, even six months.

Behind the Nvidia Affair Sits a Vast Chinese Spying Machine

In September, China’s senior spy master Chen Yixin went public with a blunt assessment of what he described as a growing threat to the Chinese Communist Party: artificial intelligence.

Leaps in machine learning are “directly threatening our political security, system security and ideological security,” Chen, the head of the Ministry of State Security, wrote in a lengthy article. Whoever masters AI, he concluded, will have “grasped the pulse of the times.”

U.S. officials now fret the Chinese spies orchestrated a major coup: grasping one of the most high-profile players behind the AI boom.

Can the Carney government end homelessness? (Not on its own)

Mark Carney is not the first prime minister to embrace an ambitious commitment about homelessness. He is not even the first prime minister to do so in the last 10 years.

In 2017, Justin Trudeau’s government released its national housing strategy. As part of a broader plan for housing, the Trudeau government set a goal of reducing “chronic” homelessness by half over the subsequent decade — at the time, an estimated 25,000 people were said to be chronically homeless.

Can you spell slush fund?

Without mandatory substance abuse treatment it’s doomed to fail.

Housing first does not work.

France Escalates Weaponization of Hate Speech Laws to Silence Islam’s Critics

In past weeks, France has been rocked by protests by anarchist leftists who seek to tear the country apart and unassimilated Muslim agitators looking to loot and pillage a country they have no investment in.

So, now the French government is cracking down.

Oh, not on the rioters (or “students,” as we’ve been told to believe).

Carney says Canada will only sign a U.S. trade deal that includes an auto sector that he’s personally sabotaged

MANILA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says trade talks with the U.S. are making progress, but Ottawa won’t accept a deal that doesn’t allow for a viable auto sector.

“Lots of people think that we should just go and take whatever deal,” Carney said Saturday in Manila. “This government will not settle for a deal with the United States that is not consistent with a viable Canadian auto sector.”

Carney was speaking at a news conference, three months after Canada pulled out of trade talks with the U.S., saying there had been last-minute demands from Washington that included a hit to Canada’s auto sector.

‘Enough is enough’: rising number of deadly ebike battery fires spark fear in New York City

Fires from lithium-ion batteries, which power ebikes and scooters, have become regular occurrences in New York, causing deaths and fear among residents, but the city has failed to build infrastructure that could reduce the threat.

New York has seen a dramatic uptick this year in fires from the batteries. In 2025, there were 292 fires, 51 injuries and one death, according to the New York fire department (FDNY). This year, there have already been more than 400 fires, 83 injuries and 12 deaths.

Liberal immigration skews wildly male. They call it ‘gender balanced’ anyway

Gender balance for cabinets, but not for the population. The contrast is stark for federal Liberals who rebuilt their political brand in no small part on a commitment to equity. Over the last 10 years, Canada’s historically steady male-to-female ratio has skewed as yet another side effect of unsustainable, under-considered immigration policies.

Prior to 2016, the gender ratio hovered in a narrow 98 to 98.5 men per 100 women band for decades, maintaining a very slight female majority. As women tend to live longer than men, the long-term average difference between the sexes in their prime years was zero.

‘They Put My Testicles In Bolt Cutters’: White Farmer Details Terrifying Attack In South Africa That Left Wife’s Breasts Scarred

A white South African game farmer says three gunmen tortured him and his wife for about three hours at their cottage near Hartbeespoort Dam, cutting around her nipples with a knife and tin snips and clamping his testicles in a bolt cutter, before shoving his own AK-47 into his mouth and pulling the trigger. It misfired.

Feds, Ontario offering Stellantis ‘aggressive package’ to keep Brampton auto plant open

The federal and Ontario governments are mounting a last-ditch effort to save the Stellantis auto plant in Brampton by pitching the company possible survival “scenarios” and offering an “aggressive package” of support to make it happen.

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly revealed the plan in Woodbridge, Ont., at an announcement about retooling a Honda plant in Alliston.

“We’ve put an aggressive package to Stellantis to prevent the sale. And we are still in solution mode to prevent the sale,” Joly said in response to a reporter’s question about the future of the Brampton plant.

Give them more millions? Great Idea!
