Justine calls his Liberal Party a movement and that movement is centered around him. Well, seventy percent of Canadians want the movement centered around him gone.

In two of the latest polls, including one for the proggy Toronto Star, Justine was at 23 percent and the Conservatives at 44 percent. How the hell does Jagmeet Singh sleep at night propping up the Justine movement that most of us want gone.

No good for eating unless you've got 6-7 of them and a bamboo skewer...

It aint working. It is all pain for no gain. Not that drastically reducing our insignificant emissions should have been a serious priority.

I fot this from pressreader.

Despite assurances from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government that Canada's industrial greenhouse gas emissions would follow a steady downward path in the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 recession, new federal data released May 2 shows the opposite is happening.

This raises serious questions about the credibility of the Liberals' climate change program, to which they have committed more than $200 billion of taxpayers' money earmarked for more than 100 government programs, including the federal carbon tax, currently $80 per tonne of emissions, rising to $170 per tonne in 2030.

Contrary to what the Liberals previously predicted, the latest data shows Canada's emissions rose again in 2022 (federal reporting is always two years after the fact) to 708 million tonnes, up from 698 million tonnes in 2021 which was up from 686 million tonnes in 2020.

This means Canada is moving further away from Trudeau's target of reducing emissions to at least 40% below 2005 levels by 2030.

Cutting emissions was the reason Trudeau said he introduced his federal carbon tax in 2019, which increases the cost of almost all goods and services because almost all of them consume fossil fuel energy.

What has happened flies in the face of what then-environment minister Jonathan Wilkinson told the Globe and Mail three years ago, when he said 2019 would be Canada's last year of rising emissions and going forward there would be "year-on-year reductions – absolute reductions – starting in 2020, through to 2030."

It's true emissions dropped in 2020 compared to 2019 because of the pandemic recession, but ever since then they've been increasing.

Keeping track of Trudeau's target of reducing emissions to at least 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 is difficult, because the feds constantly change emissions from previous years retroactively, saying it's due to improving measuring methods.

Last year, the feds said 2005 emissions were 732 million tonnes. This year they say it was 761 million tonnes.

Using the newest figures, Canada's emissions have only decreased by 7% compared to 2005 levels, compared to Trudeau's target of at least 40% by 2030.

While the Trudeau government was frantically putting a positive spin on the latest numbers Thursday, in reality it's the same old story — the carbon tax keeps going up and so do our emissions.

A Wisconsin teacher was arrested this week over allegations that she engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a 5th-grade student.

Police arrested 24-year-old Madison Bergmann, a teacher at River Crest Elementary in Hudson, Wisconsin, on Wednesday after receiving information "regarding inappropriate conduct between a current teacher and a 5th grade student," according to WCCO-TV.

That information came from the 11-year-old student's parents, who had discovered evidence of the inappropriate relationship from text messages between their son and Bergmann. Police said the text messages included details about the alleged relationship, which included "kissing, touching, and making out."

I have been to Spain dozens of times. My kid brother is an overseas toolpush living in Portugal with his Italian-Argie old lady and their kids.

Spain and Portugal are cheap by West European standards. So is Southern Italy. But, most of the countries that made up the former Yugoslavia are cheaper.

Are pensions quite limited in Australia caskur askur?

I guess pensions stretch further in Spain than Australia eh?

Three bodies found...

2 Western Australians and their American friend...

I think I will go ball my eyes out now.

threw away their lives for NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.

and in the process hurt their moms, their dads, their siblings, everyone who gave a shit about them. For what? so that a few people on twitter and theync could laugh at their stupid asses and piss on their stupid ass memory like I'm proudly do right now? Free Palestine? The people in Palestine would take your mom and your sister hostage and rape their asses and send them home to you in dollar tree bags. And you're setting yourself on fire for them?

stupid fucking asshole. Good fucking riddance and I only hope you never had a chance to procreate

The news shows pictures of terrified kids, 7 yrs old  and under screaming in hospitals and that is very tough viewing. I stopped watching 2 weeks after it started and pretty much stuck to that.

I have zero sympathy to anyone supporting what they did to the Israeli.... or making excuses. I don't want to hear them.


I feel the Israeli are sending a message to neighbouring Muslim countries and that massage is, you will not do to us what happened in the 2nd WORLD War. We mean business and we will act on our threats and carry them out fully.

We have two Perth WA MEN missing in Baja California Mexico.... their burned out 4 door Ute has been found. They were surfing in a remote location... 1 woman has been arrested for having one of the Brothers cell phones. One of the bothers is a doctor who works in a hospital 10 minutes from me. ALSO THE FBI is involved because there is a third man missing and he is American.

I am so angry the subhuman scum may have murdered a doctor...doctors are so bloody important and take years of strenuous study to become one..

The two brothers are dropdead gorgeous.... stupid Australians are so fucking naieve they think the world is safe like Australia when it's not.

If they are dead, I hope the parents find their bodies fast and bring them home..
