    Newsweek Dabbles in ‘President Hillary’ Fan Fiction”
    “It isn’t unusual for supporters of a losing presidential candidate to engage in “if only” fantasies about what would happen if their favored candidate got into office, and dream about how all the country’s problems would be solved if only the election had gone differently.
    It’s more unusual for a supposedly respectable news outlet to engage in such fan fiction.
    Yet that is precisely what an article in Newsweek did Wednesday. In the article called, “Hillary Clinton Is President in an Alternate Universe, Where America is Great Again.””

    ‘I was in tears so many times,’ one source said. ‘They’re more concerned about their reputation and what the inquiry looks like than actually doing the job’
    “As for those who have resigned, Buller last week described their departures as having come “because of personal reasons and for positive reasons. In some cases they have been offered jobs of a lifetime.”
    “She’s lying,” said one source. “Take off the rose-coloured glasses and be honest.”
    Reached by the Post, Kappo said that she, at least, didn’t leave the inquiry for a dream job. She’s now unemployed.
    “I left a job that I loved to take a job with the national inquiry,” one source told the Post. “I thought it was my job of a lifetime.”
    But once working for the inquiry, they felt unable to help families seeking information. “It made me feel that I was incompetent because I didn’t have answers to give.”
    Eventually, they decided to leave. “And when I was done, I was happy, you know? I was really relieved to be gone,” the source said.
    “I just really felt that I just didn’t want to face people and not have answers for them anymore.””

    “Oil Sands Help Shale Stymie OPEC’s Effort to Rebalance Market”
    “Oil sands second to shale in adding to global supply”
    “As oil rigs in the U.S. jumped 45 percent this year, north of the border, oil-sands companies including Devon Energy Corp., Suncor Energy Inc. and Cenovus Energy Inc. have ramped up operations as well. Their thermal production sites are running as much as 30 percent above capacity this year, squeezing barrels from existing production sites to maximize revenue.
    Oil sands will be second to shale as the biggest contributor to global supply growth over the next two years with half a million barrels a day of production scheduled to enter the market, according to IHS Energy. The growth seen across North America is blunting the impact of output cuts agreed to by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers including Russia.”

    “Men” on a scooter throw acid in faces of 5 people in London.
    We learn nothing about the “men”.
    The police commissioner tells us that there were 458 such attacks last year but does not want us to think this is happening all the time all round London … or anything.
    We do learn in the second last paragraph that in June two muslim women had been acid-attacked by a white man and in the last paragraph about an acid attack in a pub by a British man, code for white.

    “A Solar Eclipse Could Wipe Out 9,000 Megawatts of Power Supplies
    California relies on solar to meet 40% of its demand some days
    Rare eclipse to cast shadow across 70-mile-wide corridor of US
    The eclipse set to darken skies next month threatens to sideline solar farms and rooftop panels in a wide swath of the U.S., wiping out enough power generation to supply about 7 million homes.
    This rare event, during which the moon will completely obscure the sun, will cast a shadow along a 70-mile-wide (113-kilometer) corridor stretching from Oregon to South Carolina on Aug. 21. Based on a Bloomberg calculation of grid forecasts, more than 9,000 megawatts of power generated by massive solar farms and rooftop panels may go down. That’s the equivalent of about nine nuclear reactors.”

    “A Friend in Need: Recognizing Alberta’s Outsized Contribution to Confederation
    What would Canada’s economy and finances look like without Alberta?
    CALGARY—Between 2007 and 2015, Albertans contributed $221.4 billion more revenue to federal coffers than they received in federal transfer payments and services—a much larger net contribution than any other province, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
    ”It’s very clear that over a decade, Alberta disproportionately contributed to the economic success of the country and to federal finances,” said Ben Eisen, director of the Fraser Institute’s Alberta Prosperity Initiative and co-author of A Friend in Need: Recognizing Alberta’s Outsized Contribution to Confederation.
    Each year, Albertans send far more tax dollars and other types of revenue to Ottawa than they receive in transfer payments and federal services.”
