  1. I’ll be happy to transition, but only if all progressives (including Trudeau, Suzuki, Biden, Pelosi, etc.) do so before me.

    This means they give up air travel, take public transit, get rid of air conditioning, replace their fridges with bar fridge sized units, and replace their stoves with solar powered hot plates.

  2. Every day, they’re inspiring me to transition from a peaceable, calm, middle-class urban dad into a bloody-minded revolutionary determined to take as many of them with me as I can. Ain’t it a great time to be alive?

      YOU ARE HERE.

      1. Yes I am. If you want to see a hockey-stick graph that’s genuine, it would be the one of my desire to inflict agony on some people over time, with the big jump in just the last few months.

          1. Thanks man, I know it. Maybe there’s a way to hook up with all those angry US vets on Rumble.

  3. People keep telling other people facing job transitions to “learn to code”. Is coding a green job? I’m confused. All I hear is that running the code to mine bitcoins uses too much energy. Is that because it’s mining? Is it a resource industry? Is coding green or not?

    1. Nothing in the digital world is green. Not one damn thing. Mining, plastics, lots and lots of energy required.

  4. On my way back to Edmonton from Fort St. John last week, I passed by a number of oil and gas facilities.

    I was particularly struck by one near Fox Creek. It was dark by then, so what happened there was easy to see as it was all lit up. One thought that crossed my mind when I saw that place was that it was an example of prosperity looks like. That was where people earned a living and the money that they made there allowed them to buy houses, raise families, and purchase groceries.

    Those who want to shut down that industry have never been at such a facility and have absolutely no idea what happens there, let alone how the employees benefited from it. It isn’t just people who work there who’re affected by what the watermelon gang wants to do to them. It includes everyone who make a living because that facility is there, including waitresses, store clerks and auto mechanics. Close it down, and a lot of people will have problems making ends meet.

  5. King Trudeau the second is following in the footsteps of his mentor, the Ossetian bank robber.

    “On October 20, 1948, the Soviet government announced the world’s first state-centered program to reverse human-induced climate change, a grandiose plan to construct 5.7 million hectares of forest in the Russian south.” (emphasis added)

    After Stalin acquired power he noticed that there were too many Ukrainians and too few Siberian tigers in the Soviet Union. The Holodomor solved the first problem. Under Stalin’s rule Siberian tigers multiplied in the USSR.

    ‘(T)he Siberian or Amur tigers and leopards (took) refuge in Russia over the past century. Driven out of north-east China and Korea by rapid human expansion, they sought out the empty forests of the Russian taiga instead.

    ‘The big cats can thank Stalin for their initial survival here – he ordered much of this land to be turned into nature reserves or “zapadevnik”, where any development was forbidden.’

    1. You can hunt tigers.

      It’s some sort of macho symbol.

      Everything “green” is surface.

      I expect the usual brainless suspects to applaud this mass murderer once they learn how to read.

    2. Almost one year into the ten year plan. How many trees planted so far? How many ‘green’ jobs created?

      Minister O’Regan Launches Canada’s Plan to Plant Two Billion Trees

      “Planting two billion trees is more than a plan for climate action. It’s a plan for creating thousands of good, green jobs. We’re confronting the urgency of climate change and getting trees in the ground starting this spring.”

      Seamus O’Regan
      Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources

      “Canadians want cleaner air, cleaner water, and good, secure jobs when we recover from the pandemic. Planting two billion trees is an important part of our government’s plan to do just that. These trees will absorb pollution, clean our air and water and help communities adapt to the effects of a changing climate.”

      Jonathan Wilkinson
      Minister of Environment and Climate Change

      1. The Lieberal and Dipper myth; hiring government workers. Government make-work projects are not job creation. It shrinks an economy very quickly via taxes. Wages paid for by taxes do not generate new tax revenue. It only claws back and recycles. It does not grow. Too complex for a leftist to understand.

        1. One of the first things I taught my son when I knew he was old enough to understand: governments do not generate wealth, they only take it and spend it; a good chunk on themselves and the rest as gifts to parasites, with the occasional glacially slow street resurfacing thrown in for show.

  6. Biden was a mediocre leech of a legislator when he was in his prime. Now he’s a diapered old fart, but president of the USA!
    Juthtin was a sub-intelligent fool in his prime. Now he’s an oratorical anus who gets attention on the world stage as Canada’s PM!

    Pretty soon cats and dogs will be playing poker together.

  7. With Biden and the Spawn in mind, it’s easy to conclude that Tocqueville’s worst predictions came through for America and its monkey-see monkey-do neighbour. If those two are the best that democracy can produce, I’ll take anarchy, thank you very much.
