The three main ways the Liberals are making us a third world dictatorship is with internet censorship, their obsession over our insignificant C02 emissions and of course mass immigration.

QuoteLiberal climate policies damaged our economy
Justin Trudeau's policies amounted to Canada cutting its own economic throat, given the importance of the oil and gas sector to our economy

Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged in a year-end interview with CBC that former prime minister Justin Trudeau's climate change plan was a $200-billion flop, the roots of that failure predate Trudeau.

They go back to then-prime minister Jean Chretien signing onto the United Nations Kyoto accord in 1998, committing Canada to economy-killing climate targets which – as top Chretien aide Eddie Goldenberg later acknowledged – the Liberals knew they couldn't achieve.

Even the U.S. at the time – with Bill Clinton as president and global warming guru Al Gore as vice president – never ratified the accord after the U.S. Senate, in a 95-0 bipartisan vote, said it would reject the treaty because it made no demands of China and other developing nations to lower their industrial greenhouse gas emissions.

Canada should have done the same, because while the leading advocate of the accord was the European Union and it was designed to hobble the U.S. economy, its implications for Canada – a big, cold, northern country with a relatively small population and a natural-resourced based economy – were even worse.

The problem was that by enacting the UN climate accord and its unachievable target of cutting Canada's emissions to an average of 6% below 1990 levels from 2008 to 2012, the Liberals committed to a UN process that culminated with the 2015 Paris climate agreement and Trudeau promising to reduce Canada's emissions to at least 40% below 2005 levels by 2030, on the way to net zero by 2050.

Trudeau's policies designed to implement that target – while failing to do so – amounted to Canada cutting its own economic throat, given the importance of the oil and gas sector to our economy.

Carney's measures since becoming prime minister – from cancelling the consumer carbon tax and the oil and gas emissions cap, to suspending Canada's EV mandates and signing a memorandum of understanding with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for a pipeline extending from the oil sands to tidewater in northern B.C. – are all direct repudiations of Trudeau's climate policies.

What remains to be seen is whether Carney's policies  – as the leading global corporate spokesman for net zero policies and higher carbon taxes prior to becoming prime minister – will grow the Canadian economy or further damage it.

Its getting better though. I can finally walk UP the stairs with both legs. Before yesterday, I could only take 1 step at a time because I couldnt bend my knee enough. Going DOWN, oddly enough, I still have to take 1 step at a time.

Dang. Yeah the brace is gonna fuck me for 6 weeks. Glad you on the mend man!

The EU's prog establishment is more worried about them than they are Trump. Didn't they manage to block Marine Le Pen from running for president again?

Liberals across the nation are in full tantrum mode after a shade of white was declared 2026's top hue.

On December 4, Pantone LLC — which is considered the global authority on color standardization — announced "Cloud Dancer," described as a "billowy white imbued with serenity," as its 2026 Color of the Year.

President Trump's rollback of Biden-era energy restrictions is delivering cheaper gas and easing pressure on family budgets nationwide.
When it comes to gas prices, what a difference one administration can make. After peaking above $5 a gallon under President Biden, prices at the pump are now at their lowest levels in more than four years — and still falling. Today, the national average for regular gas sits at about $2.85, and a growing number of stations are dipping below $2. That's a real Christmas gift for working families, one that makes a meaningful difference.

Falling gas prices bring immediate relief to households worried about affordability while also easing pressure across the broader economy. Compared with this time last year, Americans are saving a collective $400 million per week at the pump, according to GasBuddy.

Most people associate the One Big Beautiful Bill Act primarily with tax cuts. But it may prove to be one of the most consequential pro-energy laws passed in years. Lower gas prices do not happen by accident. They are the result of deliberate policy choices — specifically, President Trump's reversal of the anti-energy agenda pursued by the Biden administration.

That agenda, driven by radical environmental activists, sought to force a rapid transition away from oil and gas regardless of cost. It relied on higher taxes, blocked infrastructure projects, restricted leasing, and constrained production. Taken together, those policies drove up prices and fueled inflation that hit working families hardest.

On day one, President Trump moved quickly to unwind many of those decisions, issuing nearly half a dozen energy-focused executive orders that restored certainty for producers. That early action was followed by his signature legislative achievement, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which combined broad-based tax relief with policies designed to restore American energy dominance.

The bill reduces production costs by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act's misguided fee increase on oil and gas produced on federal lands. It cuts that fee by 25%, making domestic production more attractive and more affordable for drillers.

Just as important, the OBBBA restores predictability to federal leasing. The law mandates nearly 40 offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of America, Alaska, and other regions. It also establishes quarterly onshore lease sales and biannual offshore sales, giving the private sector long-term certainty. Under President Biden, leasing all but ground to a halt, with fewer leases issued than at any point since the 1960s — crippling the pipeline of future energy projects.

The bill also repeals or tightens a range of Green New Deal-style tax credits that heavily subsidized renewables at the expense of oil and gas. Those credits masked the true costs of renewable projects and distorted electricity markets, contributing to grid instability and higher energy prices.

An educational program meant to help students make up for their mistakes in school is apparently being misused by racial equity proponents and leading to children receiving high grades for very little work.

Credit recovery is a practice in which students, usually of high-school age, are given a second chance to learn a subject and prove their proficiency in that subject outside of normal class time.

Proponents say the practice can be very positive and effective when students fail because of circumstances out of their control, such as a death in the family or sudden financial loss and duress.

But in recent years, the program has seemingly been manipulated by diversity, equity, and inclusion advocates, resulting in even worse educational outcomes. Rather than giving students a second chance to prove themselves, the policy is being abused to unfairly allow failing students to pass on to the next grade level without actually completing learning objectives.

"They're receiving the same credit, but doing significantly less work — often as little as one-third to one-half of what a traditional course requires," he continued. "The evidence supports these concerns: Critics have raised alarms when students complete a semester of work in a matter of weeks or even days. In one egregious example, the NCAA discovered students receiving grades and credits for a semester's worth of work in a matter of days, sometimes hours, and in some cases just minutes."

DiMatteo cited one anecdote of a student who received an A- and a year's worth of credit in biology after only one four-hour recovery class split over two days.

One study from 2020 found that credit recovery policies were being used to help disadvantaged black students but that often they ended up hurting rather than helping the students.

Sixties 'sex kitten', animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot dead at 91



Legendary French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot has died at 91, her foundation announced Sunday.

"The Brigitte Bardot Foundation announces with immense sadness the death of its founder and president, Madame Brigitte Bardot, a world-renowned actress and singer, who chose to abandon her prestigious career to dedicate her life and energy to animal welfare and her foundation," it said in a statement to the French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Bardot had been hospitalized briefly in late October at Saint-Jean Hospital in Toulon, where she underwent a minor surgical procedure, according to a statement from her office to AFP.

The iconic actress became known in the 1950s and 1960s for her "sex kitten" image, a label that came to define her on-screen persona.
