I know this likely isn't the correct answer but the last 2 songs share 1 thing for sure. The lyrics for both songs are difficult to hear and fully comprehend.

Indian Government Abandons Costly Solar Power, Becomes World’s Largest Producer Of Greenhouse Gases

The amount of electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels is inefficient and doesn’t coincide with times of day when power is most needed. This poses an enormous safety challenge to grid operators and makes power grids vastly more fragile.

The government’s green energy ministry wants to solve the problem by paying solar companies for any electricity generated, even if it isn’t used.

India’s power grid is already extremely fragile, as the country is spending quite a bit supporting solar power. The country increased solar subsidies by a factor of eight last year, raising the amount spent from $92 million to $770 million annually. India got a series of loans worth $1.5 billion in January from international financial institutions for rooftop solar power.

My memory seems to recall that a US Company built a huge Power complex in India. They closed it when they found only a few customers that could afford to pay....That would suggest the Green policy is a total fraud...nobody is paying or using the power..

It's a mental illness epidemic...
------------------------------------------------
Both Bridgehead staff and customers phoned 911 after Abdi allegedly assaulted "more than one" woman at the coffee shop, said Clark.

Abdi, a Somali man whose family says was mentally ill, died after a violent confrontation with police responding to the 911 call.

close enough... right?

"On the same day Abdirahman Abdi was pronounced dead, Ottawa police
moved to hire a Somali-Canadian man who had failed a background check,
prompting the civilian investigator in charge of vetting officers to resign."

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
