I Want A New Country

Let’s roll.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he has no regrets over exempting Atlantic Canadians from paying the carbon taxes on home heating oil — and didn’t rule out arresting Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe for not paying his.

When asked directly by The Western Standard if the ‘consequences’ of non-compliance included the possible arrest and imprisonment of government officials, his eyes narrowed and his tone became positively ominous.

The Libranos: YOU get a heat pump! and YOU get a heat pump!

You can’t fool Father Physics.

The energy charges from Nova Scotia Power total $1,591.37 for the period spanning Dec. 13 to Feb. 14. That’s not including taxes or the additional $773.32 he still owes from his previous bill.

Feaver said he’s on the brink of being disconnected, which has left him looking for a second job.

“It will be a job for Nova Scotia Power and then a job to live,” he said.

The 26-year-old rents a two-bedroom apartment in Bridgewater, N.S., with his girlfriend, their dog, two cats and pet snake. Their unit is on the top floor of an older home with a heat pump. They moved in last April.[…]

A rate increase of 6.5 per cent came into effect on Jan. 1, but customers are questioning why their bills jumped much higher.

Danielle Fraser of Westville, N.S., said her energy costs tripled. According to her bill, she used 4,268 kilowatts in January compared to 1,832 kilowatts in November.

She said no one at the utility can tell her why she’s drawing more electricity when her habits haven’t changed. She runs three heat pumps in her home and said she has them cleaned regularly.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

The Trudeau Panic was real: Canadian spy suspect Qiu led WIV’s “synthetic bat filovirus” project with Wuhan Institute’s Vice-Director

While working for Canada and surreptitiously transferring lethal virus samples to China, Xiangguo Qiu was enlisted to lead Wuhan Institute of Virology’s synthetic bat filovirus project with the institute’s Vice-Director, a senior Chinese scientist that worked in 2015 on a controversial United States “hybrid version of a bat coronavirus.”

This explosive evidence — yet to be reported from hundreds of redacted documents released this week by Canada’s government — suggests that Xiangguo Qiu was likely working directly with the Chinese virologist at the centre of the Covid-19 Wuhan lab-leak theory, Dr. Shi Zhengli.

Dr. Shi — known as the “bat woman” for her bat vaccine studies in China — is reportedly a deputy-director for the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV.)

While no government has concluded Covid-19 emanated from WIV, last year a number of Western intelligence agencies including the FBI told the public they do believe the most likely cause of the deadly pandemic was that Chinese scientists were working with bat viruses that leaked into Wuhan’s population in 2019.

This controversial assessment is far from unanimous in Western intelligence.

But at least some CSIS investigators with awareness of the Xiangguo Qiu probe agree with the FBI assessment, a confidential intelligence source has informed The Bureau.

And now, the sensitive records disclosed by CSIS — which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to suppress — potentially place Xiangguo Qiu at the scene of the crime with numerous international scientists involved in bat coronavirus studies.

And,

Regarding Individual 1, the redacted CSIS report says:

“In 2015, [WIV’s vice-director] was involved in Gain of Function experiments with US researchers as part of a study that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus; one related to the virus that caused Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which could jump directly from bats to humans.”

Free Robert Pickton!

Your quote of the day;

Robert Pickton is eligible for day-parole after killing and feeding to his pigs countless prostitutes and other victims after less than 20 years in prison.

Meanwhile you will get 25 according to this government for making mouth noises some bureaucrat finds offensive.

The Libranos: All In Da Family

CBC;

Federal Liberals have been promising to appoint the “most meritorious jurists” to judicial vacancies across Canada, but most candidates winning judicial appointments in New Brunswick over the last year have had something else going for them — personal connections to senior Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc.

Five of the last six federal appointments announced in New Brunswick include Leblanc’s neighbour, a LeBlanc family relation and three lawyers who helped retire debts from his unsuccessful 2008 leadership bid. LeBlanc is currently minister of intergovernmental affairs, northern affairs and internal trade.

Tantrum Time

Faced with the news that his media water-carriers are in financial trouble, Maximum Leader publicly berates them for failing to conjure up non-existent customers. Not at all shocking for a man who sees no need for boundaries between the state and the economy.

A fired-up Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unleashed on Bell on Friday, calling its move to layoff thousands of employees — including hundreds of journalists — a “garbage decision.”

“I’m pretty pissed off about what’s just happened,” Trudeau said during a press conference in Toronto.

“This is the erosion not just of journalism, of quality local journalism at a time where people need it more than ever, given misinformation and disinformation…. It’s eroding our very democracy, our abilities to tell stories to each other.”

(From Kate) Drama Queen: the PM had at least 16 weeks statutory notice from Bell about layoffs of this magnitude so “garbage decision” & “pretty pissed off” were hardly “from the heart”.

Trudeau’s Political Prisoners

“It is a small comfort that two of Canada’s political prisoners are now free. But no Canadian is free when their civil liberties can be trampled at will by their Prime Minister.”

The Libranos: ArriveScam

Follow the science.

It seems the reason ArriveCan ended on Sep 30, 2022 had nothing to do with science, nor safety. It had to do with a time-limited *privacy impact exemption* that the Treasury Board/ Privacy Commissioner granted to Public Health Agency of Canada back on May 4, 2021.

Why would an App that collects data about folks’ names, addresses, cell, email, jab status, etc.- developed by a mysterious group of expensive consultants- need an exemption to a Privacy Impact Assessment? Why didn’t it want typical oversight? How & with whom was it sharing info?

Here is a link to the full ATIP, where the Treasury Board/Information Commissioner granted PHAC a time-limited Privacy Impact Assessment waiver… ending on, yup, *Sep 30, 2022*.

Once PHAC would have to account for privacy issues, it abandoned the app.
