    1. I have my doubts about her because she is so proud of having written for Mint Press News, a pro-Iran pro-Syrian regime website.

  1. I once had lunch at a Chinese pizzeria in Lappland, believe it or not. If I come across as worldly, that’s not entirely pretentious.

    I recall being invited to a session of Lapp dancing, and finding it curiously disappointing.

    1. The Lapps find the term Lapp to be insulting because they perceive themselves to be inferior and believe everyone is picking on them. Note – they are physically indistinguishable from non-Lapps. They call themselves Sami. No-one else does.

  2. L – Dr. John Campbell has an ability to walk on CensorTube eggshells, while providing
    most interesting data points to ponder. For his skilled use of understatement, he’s deserving of a tip of the Bowler hat.

    1. Yes, John C does some great data/facts based analyses (and implicit commentary).
      Everyone should check out his videos from time to time, very educational.

  3. L – I hope this problem is not related to Saskatchewan’s highest in Canada homicides.

    Stench of ‘rotting corpses’ affecting north Saskatoon, Donauer says
    Saskatoon / 650 CKOM
    A Saskatoon City Councillor wants the city to explore options to address what he described as the “smell of rotting corpses,” on the city’s north side.

    1. “Donauer said there should be some “common sense” restrictions on how much noise and odour can come out of those heavy industrial areas.”
      Would not common sense be more like not building neighbourhoods close and down wind of such facilities? Politicians and bureaucrats are some of the stupidest life-forms on the planet.

    2. Was at Denny’s on Circle Drive up near the airport coupla weekends back. The only stench there was my burned toast…

    3. Add 300′ to the effluent stack then the people in Humboldt will have to deal with the stench. Problem solved.

  4. The anatomy of fail.

    Excellent analysis explaining both initial blunders as well as subsequent often curious decisions and developments. Few days ago Ian linked a an article (that he doubted) about orc wave attacks. This too is explained.

  5. Naive me thought the Public Emergencies enquiry was simply to determine whether the government broke the law when it imposed it on Canadians during the trucker protest. Not at all! The Libs are not playing defense, it’s offense. Reading through the Order in Council, written of course by the government, it is larded with requests for suggested new laws, how to make the existing law more up to date etc. Never let a good crisis go to waste, even the ones you create yourself. I expect our activist government will be given a shopping list to add new emergencies, perhaps even, dare I say lest they get ideas, environmental and climate emergencies, economic emergencies, health emergencies. It will be a carte blanche for government to suppress individual rights, henceforth with the patina of legality.

    1. The “final report” was very likely completed a couple of months before the inquiry even started.

    1. Thx for the archive.

      Only 42?

      On second thought, mebbe that’s all we need to find the answer to life, the universe & everything. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I kill me.

      Picked a helluva morning to stop drinking…

    1. “”Try to get a sterilization here in America when you haven’t had kids and you’re only 22.””

      Apparently full frontal lobotomies are free for the taking…

  6. Liberals today – we aren’t going to take away your hunting rifles and shot guns (If they are not semi-auto I guess). 40 years ago -Liberals – it is just a simple possession certificate – we aren’t going to seize or register them – you are just being ridiculous. Oh well.

  7. The report of an independent inquiry has found yet another multi-billion dollar public infrastructure project to have been plagued by “malfeasance” and incompetence. The senior elected official involved (Ottawa mayor Jim Watson) and the two senior bureaucrats in charge of the city’s light rail transit project colluded over an extended period to lie to the city council and the public about the project, while delivering an “error-ridden, unreliable system” to the public.

    “A public inquiry into the issues plaguing Ottawa’s light rail transit system has found both city officials and contracted companies at fault for delivering an error-ridden, unreliable system after a 16-month delay.”

    https://globalnews.ca/news/9315097/public-inquiry-released-ottawa-lrt-project/

    1. What is not being mentioned in the reporting is the central role prevailing green ideology played in the fiasco. The main objectives of the grand project were to get fossil-fuel-consuming busses off the roads of Ottawa, and to persuade commuters driving cars to switch to public transit. What the project has produced is the opposite. The light rail system has proved so unreliable that it requires a huge fleet of buses to replace it when, as is so often the case, the system is not working. As well, the unreliability of the system has proven to existing and potential users that they are better off commuting in a car.

    2. Given what happened at the recently concluded Emergency Act Inquiry, it is reasonable to ask whether an elected official or a senior bureaucrat would ever lie to a judge during a public inquiry? Answer: they actually do, as was discovered recently at a another public inquiry held earlier this year in Ottawa:

      “If you’ve ever wondered how a judge might manage, within the antiseptic language of a public inquiry, to say that people lied to him with an insulting level of obviousness, here is Justice Hourigan responding to that: “This evidence from Mayor Watson, Manconi and Kanellakos does not withstand scrutiny, and the commission does not accept it as a truthful explanation of what motivated the failure to communicate with council.”

    3. Ottawamj ; Kinder Morgan budgeted 5.4 billion to twin the trans mountain. That was revised to something in the neighborhood of 7.2 billion just before the government purchase. The cost is now approaching 22 billion – that is if the figures are up to date. It is hoped that it may be completed by a year from this Christmas . I know people who are working on it and they tell me that isn’t going to happen. Should we start a pool on how high they can run the tab if it is ever completed? Brown paper bags are expensive.

  8. Curious, that.

    I WAS TOLD VOTING FRAUD WAS UNKNOWN

    “Now imagine 10,000 voters willing to give/sell their blank ballot to a third party/activist/harvester and never complain about it. No one would notice. That’s how elections are bought with absentee voting. “

  9. Every morning I escape to a couple of sites just for the smiles. The first link is a meme, the second to a bunch of animated gifs. I know I’m going to go to hell, but #9 made me howl. I had tears running down my cheeks. Still giggling…

  10. The Truth About Jeremy MacKenzie & Saskatchewan

    Is going to be expensive.

    By Tammy Robert
    3 hr ago

    After 59 days in a Saskatchewan jail, Nova Scotia resident Jeremy MacKenzie is back home.

    The Canadian Armed Forces veteran and a father of three with no criminal record, was arrested at his home on the east coast on September 28, 2022.

    Four days later, shackled by his wrists and ankles and surrounded by RCMP armed guards, he was flown on a private federal plane to Saskatchewan where he was remanded without bail.

    He stayed in one of Christine Tell’s jails for two months – longer than he would have served had he gone to trial and been found guilty.

    Doesn’t matter, cause neither a trial nor a conviction in Saskatchewan for Jeremy MacKenzie is ever going to happen. Not a chance.

    The Saskatchewan RCMP’s work on MacKenzie was so brutal that they contacted him, literally within 24 hours of being freed, to update him on what they’re doing internally to look into it. Lol.

    I mean, nothing says ethical and trustworthy like the RCMP investigating itself, but whatever. They’ll be held accountable.

    If you’re following MacKenzie’s story, you’re going to want to refresh yourself on the legal term “stayed” (or Stay of Proceedings). It’s a term used to refer to the direction of a judge or Crown prosecutor to terminate a criminal prosecution.

    It doesn’t mean the charges have been dropped, it means the prosecutor takes another look, realizes hang on, this is nonsense and we will never get a conviction, halts prosecution and gives the case back to law enforcement to either go back to investigating or shelve.

    For example:
