ROME — Pope Francis received John Kerry in private audience at the Vatican Monday, where the two discussed the importance of combating climate change for the good of the planet.
Kerry, in Rome as United States presidential envoy for climate, praised the pontiff for his leadership on the topic of climate change and suggested that fighting global warming is a key element of Christian morality.
Pope Francis has “remarkable leverage” on the question of climate change, Kerry asserted in an interview with journalists, “because he has constantly been an outspoken and engaged advocate on this issue, he believes it very deeply.”

Read MoreA top Canadian politician has taken the unprecedented step of admitting that the government was “wrong” about vaccines while issuing an apology to the unvaccinated.
Since the Covid pandemic first emerged in 2020, Canada has enforced some of the strictest, most tyrannical measures of any nation in the Western world.
Mandates forced Canadians to wear masks and get vaccinated or risk losing their jobs.
Those who chose not to get vaccinated, however, were stripped of their freedom to travel or visit public places.
Air travel and public transportation were limited to only those who provided proof of vaccinations with so-called “vaccine passports.”
And yet, despite the government’s draconian tactics, Danielle Smith, the current premier of Alberta in Canada, has just done something remarkable.
According to a new report from Revolver News, Smith took the bold and unprecedented step of apologizing to unvaccinated Canadians who’ve faced unfair treatment from the government throughout the “pandemic.”

Read More1. Carbon dioxide (CO2) does not cause global warming.
2. There is no evidence that it does.
3. It has never been shown by replicable scientific experiment that CO2 traps heat, either infra-red or any other wavelength.
4. Heatwaves, floods and hurricanes are localised weather events. They have occurred throughout history and are not getting more frequent or more severe. They cannot be proved to be caused by CO2 so they are not evidence.
5. Carbon dioxide is an invisible gas. Almost all of it in the atmosphere is natural. It is breathed out by humans and animals and absorbed by plants and trees which would die without it. It is also absorbed and outgassed by the oceans.

Read MoreCabinet had no choice but to spend billions on a Volkswagen battery plant in Ontario, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said yesterday. Her remarks followed a Budget Office report warning the venture will cost taxpayers almost 20 percent more than estimated.
“We knew Canada had to be at the table,” Freeland told reporters. “We were just not, as a government, going to tolerate a situation in which investment was sucked out of Canada, sucked to south of the border, and I don’t think Canadian workers should tolerate that situation.”
Cabinet on April 20 approved subsidies to Volkswagen to build an electric battery plant in St. Thomas, Ont. Federal aid was estimated at $13.7 billion. The Budget Office yesterday said actual subsidies are closer to $16.3 billion based on “a preliminary cost estimate of the entirety of the Government of Canada’s funding commitments to Volkswagen.”

Read MoreLocal and Quebec-media groups are claiming that Facebook’s parent company Meta is restricting access to their news content because of the Liberal government’s decision to push forward with regulating the online news industry via Bill C-18.
Editor-in-chief of Le Journal de Quebec Sebastien Menard said that the outlet is having its reach suppressed on Facebook and has forced the outfit to put out a call to readers to access their website directly instead of through social media.

Read MoreAs expected, formal plans have been submitted to house 400 migrants at the Northop Hall Hotel.
Back in May, Rebel News UK made the trip to the small village of Northop Hall in North Wales to cover the story of a potential “Initial Accommodation Hotel” for up to 400 so-called asylum seekers to be housed in, with a new batch of single men every 6-8 weeks.
The plan was for 150 migrants to be housed in the hotel rooms and 250 in modular accommodation over a period of seven years

Read MoreIn my recent article on the destruction of medical ethics during the COVID era, I used a term that generated some unanticipated feedback. What exactly did I mean by “soft-core totalitarianism?” Was it a real concept, or just a turn of phrase?
It’s a concept all right, and I believe it aptly describes the sociopolitical – or is it sociopathological? – condition in which we find ourselves in the post-COVID world, both in the United States and throughout the other Western so-called liberal democracies. It certainly seems to describe the direction in which our collective culture is heading.
Let’s define soft-core totalitarianism as a political system, characterized by two features:
