Interesting Times in Peel Region

Details of the inside job that was a gold heist in Peel Region, Ontario, are now emerging:

Five individuals have been arrested, charged and released, while three are wanted and one, King-Mclean, remains in custody in the United States.

It was last September when King-Mclean was pulled over in Pennsylvania on a traffic stop that police became aware of gun smuggling. After running from police on foot, King-Mclean was arrested and the vehicle he was driving was found to have 65 illegal firearms in it including automatic weapons.

Strip Mining Investors

Perhaps the most drastic change in the recent federal budget is the hiking of the capital gains inclusion rate. This supporter of the change works out the math and finds that effectively treating a capital gain as wage income is just fine with him. The fact that an investor risks the loss of assets if the business fails is, to him, equivalent to the risk borne by the wage earner who gets paid every two weeks and never has to deal with the loss of a dime of capital to sustain the business.

Here’s the text of his X post:

$1 in wages. Top marginal tax rate = 53%.

Keep $0.47. $1 in corporate profit –> 26% corporate tax rate = $0.74 distributed as capital gains –> 50% inclusion rate = $0.37 taxed at 53% personal. All in, roughly 46% tax rate overall. Keep $0.54. Better than wages (and better than interest or dividends).

At 67% inclusion: roughly 52% tax overall for capital gains. So keep $0.48. Close to treatment of wages!

“Professional Smear Merchant” Means Never Having To Say You’re Sorry

Somewhere up there, Kathy Shaidle is pissing herself.

And then, on October 7, multiculturalism breathed its last. As word spread – as we learned that Hamas terrorists had invaded progressive farm communities in Israel, and raped and tortured and killed hundreds of innocents, and kidnapped scores more – something else happened, here in Canada.

You Could Just Make Your Own Coffee

It is both quicker and cheaper.

National Post- Is charging extra for non-dairy milk discrimination? Yes, according to these class action lawsuits

The Starbucks lawsuit followed a similar claim filed against Dunkin’ in January. The 10 plaintiffs suing the American coffee and doughnut chain for $5 million have either lactose intolerance or milk allergies. They claim that paying as much as US$2.15 extra for nondairy alternatives is a form of discrimination and violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Will a First Nation-owned pipeline be without protests and opposition?

Can’t imagine why oil shippers demand explanation from Trans Mountain for pipeline cost overruns, can you?

B.C. First Nation and Western LNG partner to purchase natural gas pipeline project. Can they succeed in bringing a major pipeline in on time and on budget, or will they face the same perils as Trans Mountain (above) and Coastal GasLink? Will other First Nations do all they can to halt it, like GasLink? Will they destroy equipment and raid camps?

“Reflecting” On A Narrative

How anyone can take these people seriously anymore is beyond me. Every time the issue of residential school graves crops up, things just get weirder and weirder as the gap between accusations and efforts to discover the truth gets wider and wider.

Spearing is leading the team that has used ground-penetrating radar and aerial and terrestrial sensors to identify 93 sites of “potential human burials” near the former residential school by Williams Lake First Nation.

At a press conference led by Chief Willie Sellars on Tuesday, Spearing said the sites show “reflections” that suggest human burials, but added the only way to confirm the findings would be through excavation. She said the investigation is still in its early stages and the findings are preliminary.

New York Post- Violent, diarrhea-inducing stomach bug spreads in Northeast: ‘Incredibly contagious’

Once infected, the patient can experience a host of alarming symptoms ranging from violent diarrhea to stomach pain and vomiting, which can cause significant fluid loss and eventual dehydration. These complications begin within 12 to 48 hours after exposure and can persist for three days.

A norovirus is particularly insidious because of how easily it spreads from person to person. It only takes a few particles to make someone sick while the infectees often remain contagious for weeks after their symptoms improve.

Is there nothing we can do?

Fortunately, people can mitigate the spread of the norovirus by rinsing fruits and vegetables and thoroughly cooking shellfish and, of course, washing one’s hands, per the CDC.

Unfortunately, unlike the coronavirus and some other bugs, the norovirus has a resistance to hand sanitizer.

“Purel and the alcohol-based stuff doesn’t get through the envelope of the virus, and it’s still contagious on your hands,” declared Sacchetti.

“Soap and water is the only thing that’ll really protect you from this.”

It’s hopeless then.

Gays For Gaza (How It’s Going)

The enemy of my enemy is I KEEL YOU!!!

A court of the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen has sentenced 13 people to public execution on homosexuality charges, the French wire service AFP reported on Tuesday. Another 35 people have been detained for similar charges.

The ruling was made in Ibb, a Houthi-controlled province from which the jihadist group has been launching attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, opening a war that reached its four-month mark this week.

We are living in 1979 on the way to 1984

NDP MP Charlie Angus wants to shut down all oil and gas advertising.

In a move that would effectively destroy media like Pipeline Online, EnergyNow.ca, BOE Report, Daily Oil Bulletin and more, Timmins-James Bay NDP MP Charlie Angus on Feb. 6 proposed eliminating all advertising from oil and gas firms. “It is prohibited for a person to promote a fossil fuel, a fossil fuel-related brand element or the production of a fossil fuel except as authorized by the provisions of this Act or of the regulations,” the private members bill, which was just introduced and is not law, says.

Note, this was clearly endorsed by the national party and leader. There’s even a donation collection at the bottom of the press release.

Fines in the million dollar range, jail up to two years. This is what the NDP want of Canada. And I would be going to jail.

To quote Andor, “Fight the Empire!”
