Climate Marxism

So Doctor Fruit Fly is frustrated and angry with our new PM? If only Carney would give him a lot more to get angry about.

Suzuki, 90, retired from hosting the show four years ago, but still wants to talk to Canadians about the environment. This time though, the educational message is tinged with exasperation.

Canadians and people around the world have their priorities wrong, he said.

“So if that doesn’t tell you right there what kind of a f–ked-up system we have, that is exploiting the very things that keep us alive. And we don’t put any value on it.”

On the Origins of Peanut Allergy

The epidemiology of peanut allergy is interesting to begin with. It’s not much of a problem in most of the world. Only in America—where roughly 1% of children are thought to be affected, and maybe a dozen people die annually from it—are schoolchildren forbidden from bringing a PB&J to lunch, for fear of endangering a classmate’s life.

So what makes the USA different? […]

Regular readers will know that I’m skeptical of some modern industrial agricultural practices, e.g. killing plants with chemical herbicides and then eating them. So naturally, my first instinct was to wonder: did they approve a weird new pesticide for use on peanuts in 1980? Maybe eating peanuts laced with some chemical toxin could train the body into thinking they’re bad business.

I did a quick search along those lines—something like peanut agricultural approval 1980. I didn’t find anything like what I was expecting. Instead, I got a slew of hits in the form of old newspaper articles, all reporting on something called the “Great Peanut Crisis of 1980”.

The Masochistic Economy

Economies with fiat currencies will always have a tough time handling higher interest rates, given the exponential growth in debt that necessarily goes along with fiat. The insatiable demand from low IQ voters for more free stuff doesn’t help either. Nonetheless, it looks like we’re in for more rate hikes in the near future. Hold onto your hats, folks.

“Further policy adjustments are likely to be needed to ensure inflation comes down to target in a timely fashion,” Barr said in a speech in Chicago. “Inflation is above our 2% target and not clearly trending toward target in a timely way. Moreover, risks to achieving our inflation target have increased, while risks to the labor market have receded.”

To make matters worse, we now have a seven percent solution for the US housing market.

Completely Out of Touch

Jacob Rees-Mogg is an elitist pompous ass:

For years, successive UK governments have ignored the will of the people, especially ignoring the best interests of young white men more than any other group. But now, suddenly they need them again … to be slaughtered by drones in Ukraine.

When Chairman Carney and his cabal demand that your children and grandchildren go fight in Ukraine, will you be supportive of such conscription?

Y2Kyoto: Climate Justice

Busted.

A group housed at the New York University School of Law and backed by billionaire climate activist Michael Bloomberg quietly closed its doors in late August amid congressional scrutiny into its funding and operations. The so-called State Energy and Environmental Impact Center’s signature initiative involved placing paid, climate-focused “fellows” in Democrat-controlled state attorney general offices nationwide as those offices sued the oil industry and other energy providers.

The center’s sudden closure comes as a surprise: It continued to update its public database tracking state attorney general actions relevant to its climate priorities until Aug. 31, the date of its apparent closure. […]

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened an investigation into the center last year, stating that its activities “raise questions as to whether participating state attorneys general are acting on independent judgement to best serve the interests of their states’ citizens.”

“The Bloomberg-NYU program effectively offers states partisan money from a billionaire to carry out official functions of their offices,” the panel wrote at the time. Bloomberg, it continued, “disguises his donations as ‘philanthropy'” and uses the impact center as a mechanism “to skirt legislative bodies and effect partisan policy.”

Canadian Liberal Boomer Exposed

I’ve rarely seen a more callous person than this woman responding to Andrew Lawton:

A quick review of her X feed reveals all. Such folks are the reason why the Liberals keep getting reelected. It doesn’t matter how much damage is done to Canada and their fellow Canadians. They simply don’t care.

Flaming Solar Farms

The 21st century version of the Springfield Tire Fire. I can’t wait for the day when solar arrays dot the landscape. Can you?

A fire at a solar farm in western P.E.I. is out after some battery cells burned, smouldered and flared up for two weeks.

On the day the fire started, which was the Labour Day holiday, a shelter-in-place order was issued, as well as a voluntary evacuation notice, and some roads were closed. Two schools were closed the following day.

 

How about we quintuple that?

Premier Scott Moe talks a lot about increasing oil production from 450,000 barrels per day to 600,000. It looks like Strathcona Resources will be a huge part of that increast (about a third), if they are successful in their plans. And that’s all in northwest Saskatchewan.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

Halls of higher lerning.

Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises recently used AI to change the races of the students it included in its advertisements. AI was also used to noticeably slim down and alter students’ faces.

On his journey to campus, Stanford student Billy Ramirez ’27 was sent an image he recalled a Stanford photographer taking. Upon closer examination, he noticed that he had been removed from the photo and replaced by a AI-generated black woman.

Circling The Drain

If you’ve checked out the price of beef lately or had a look at the prices on almost any restaurant menu, this should really come as no surprise.

Meritage Hospitality, one of Wendy’s largest U.S. franchisees, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday.

At an investor conference in June, Meritage CEO Bob Schermer Jr. said that store-level earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization had plummeted 48% in 2025. Rising beef costs and increased discounts weighed on the franchisee’s profits.

They Took All The Rights, Put ‘Em In A Rights Museum

National Post;

The current director of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), Isha Khan, told its board that it is not her “boss.” The Globe and Mail reported this in August, in its article on the controversy over the museum’s “Nakba” exhibit, drawing on interviews with five board members.[…]

The exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present,” was developed with a Palestinian Content Advisory Network created by the museum’s staff, not the board. One member is Ramsey Zeid, president of the Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba, who has written that Zionism is “a disease that must be destroyed.” Mr. Zeid told the Winnipeg Free Press in August that it is “not really” the trustees’ “job to approve or disapprove exhibits.”

Allahu Akbar!

It’s the new reefer madness.

Ahmed Baig pleaded not guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice to assault causing bodily harm and assault by choking for the Aug. 2, 2023, attack in which he left his home wearing only a towel after vaping cannabis. His towel eventually fell off, and Baig started chasing a family he encountered in their driveway.

“He ran into the driveway and picked up a seven-year-old girl. He threw her to the ground, punched her and strangled her. He then abruptly left the driveway, and a short time later was arrested by police. At the time of arrest, he wore only a T-shirt,” Justice Mara Greene wrote in a recent decision.

The judge concluded that Baig’s attack was due to “nonmental disorder automatism.” She found him not guilty of both charges.
