  1. Been hearing from the pundits that the sock monkey government is about to become hawkish on defence spending.

    For those who like to research history you may want to see how that worked out for Ol Bucky Dithers.
    Gonna love the gymnastics they have to perform when they decide to go ahead with the contract to buy the F35.
    Kharma is what kind of a dog again?

  2. I doubt Putin will attack NATO soil, at least with conventional weapons. The Ukraine debacle demonstrates just how poor and ineffective his military is.

    1. Putin has no desire to attack NATO. He wants the corrupt Uke asshats out of Donetsk and Luhansk. He wants the corrupt Uke asshats to forswear any attempt at joining NATO and the EU, and he wants the corrupt Uke asshats to disband the vicious, depraved neo-Nazi subhuman scum units like the Azov Battalion. And if you think the Russkies are facing a debacle, you’re even dumber than I figured, and that’s saying a lot. The Russians have their own way of war and they’re waging it the way the intended. If you think they’re that ineffective, go join the rest of the foreign LARPers and see for yourself. With any luck, you’ll eat a Russkie 7.62×39 and never come back to spread your ignorant shit here.

  3. Certainly Germany is getting what it deserves, but at least one statement in the linked article is false.

    “Nothing bar anything is cheaper way of making electricity than waking up a dead coal plant.”

    Dead wrong. Ontario Hydro discovered just how costly and long this was when it revived the Lakeview coal-fired station in the late 1980s. The funds allocated to restart all four units were only sufficient to restart one unit. The station was in very bad shape after being idled for about five years. It’s unlikely that Germany’s idled or abandoned coal-fired units will be in any better shape – steam plants deteriorate quite rapidly when idled with no thought of ever restarting them.

    1. Industrial plants require expensive routine, critical maintenance to continue operation. When the decision to permanently shut down a plant is made, it is usually years in advance of the actual complete shutdown. In the meantime, much routine maintenance stops. So a plant that has ceased operation for say five years may be a decade behind in maintenance. It may have been, in a sense, abandoned for 10 years. That why it is so expensive to restart.

      1. That was the case, Murray. In the early 1980s, Ontario Hydro abandoned the plant without any ongoing maintenance whatsoever. The feedwater systems were simply left full of water. Rust and corrosion was everywhere. Rats had eaten much of the electrical insulation. The boiler tubes were shot. All the control room instrumentation was useless and had to be replaced.

        Lakeview had to be restarted because of the delay imposed on completing Darlington by the government of Frank Miller.

    2. restarting Lakeview was still cheaper than burning a pile of money cancelling the Mississauga Gas Plants…

      also the late 1980s also included new equipment to reduce SO2 byproducts in the stacks (and a change to a peaking plant)

  5. Canada zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Gas and food prices are not high enough yet down east to cause a protest.

    Yup, all those windmills and solar panels work really well with no wind and cloudy skies.

    1. Oh they know who they should be pissed off at and they know why.
      But to do so requires that they eat a ton of crow because then it would be an admission that the small fringe minority was right all along.
      Oh and they would also have to admit both Trudeau’s where complete a holes.

  6. And Germany has been in the process of shuttering 4 nuclear generators. Expect no change of direction in Canada. However ,Expect more more military spending as the little pissant realizes there isn’t enough cops to subvert the peasants. As well there is a major operation underway to revise all training and dress documents to reflect the new diverse woke military and that needs funding to complete.

    1. Thanks. I clicked and it’s loading.
      Doesn’t look like a lot of people. Peaceful rallies don’t matter.

      We’ll be at wood chippers soon.
      Our leaders know that. On some level, they know that…

      1. I like rusty chainsaws better .
        I’ve since moved on from guillotines and woodchippers, though both have their charms.

  9. The CBC – North Korea has 3 nuclear weapons, leave them alone, Iran is building some Nuclear weapons, bloody leave them alone! Russia only has 1,625 nuclear weapons in so-called “deployed” status and thousands more on standby with multiple means of deployment including submarines so “lets try to f*ck with them and lock them into a Ukrainian Afghanistan”!

  10. I have named the war. It is now “The War of Putin’s Vanity.” Czar Putin I wanted to go down in history for something other than corruption.

    1. And – or – “The War of Hunter Biden’s Laptop”

      A lot of un-packaging involved with this one.

        1. @another ian – “Why Would We Believe Them About Ukraine?”

          Best question of 2022!

          Not just US intelligence, but the whole “woke” western Political Class and their MSM propaganda machines.

          Nothing but proven lies since 2001, day in and day out – but on Feb 24 2022 was the day they stopped lying to us and started giving us the true “facts”. Maybe they grew a conscious over COVID lock-downs huh?

    2. scar, once you realize there is NO discussion on gas prices and inflation of any significance , and that the war is another CIA project, to distract you from what they are doing. You may just git it!

    3. Gawd, it’s painful to read the moronic garbage you post, sunshine. How a retard of your species can even string words together is beyond me. Go join the rest of the mercenary LARPers with the corrupt Uke asshats and eat a Russkie 7.62×39. It’s the best thing you could do for mankind.

  11. You know what? I don’t actually want the Empire to learn from its mistakes.

    I want the Empire to be reduced to radioactive rubble and its parasite classes annihilated—clearing the way for its productive classes to rebuild something more inclined to respect the sovereignty of civilized peoples.

    And I want the CCP to learn from the Empire’s mistakes, when they are considering the practicality of making a vassal out of Russia.

  12. Meanwhile, back in Canada, we are still working on an LNG export facility that has, even within the past month, been subject to REAL terrorist attacks (never mind the decades-long regulatory obstacles put in place by govts). Hollyweird arseholes like Ruffalo still campaign against it, ignoring the fact that the US has built ten of them during the same time period. Oh yeah, and the ex-head of the WWF is the de facto ruler of this country. Things are looking grim from my angle.

  13. “One of Europe’s biggest energy companies is preparing to bring a string of German coal power stations out of retirement as part of efforts to wean the country off Russian gas.”
    If Trump would have warned of the risks in becoming dependent on Russian gas everyone would be calling him a genius now.

      1. Yes, I was lamenting that Trump did warn on this specifically, but the WEF leaders thought they could force reality to comply to their will. Ironically they are not being held accountable and Trump is still the evil villian.
