I Want A New Country

Galt SKExit 37 Comments

From the Fraser Institute;

Economic Freedom of North America 2022 is the eighteenth edition of the Fraser Institute’s annual report. This year it measures the extent to which—in 2020, the year with the most recent available comprehensive data—the policies of individual provinces and states were supportive of economic freedom, the ability of individuals to act in the economic sphere free of undue restrictions. There are two indices: one that examines provincial/state and municipal/local governments only and another that includes federal governments as well. The former, our subnational index, is for comparison of individual jurisdictions within the same country. The latter, our all-government index, is for comparison of jurisdictions in different countries.

Full report is here. (pdf)

  2. They’re banning plastic bags, and now Calgary Council wants to charge a 25 cents for a paper bag, and $1 for a reusable bag.

    Guess poor people are supposed to put their food in their pockets?

  3. I exercised my God given right to White Fight from Calgary years ago and have never looked back in regret!

  4. Think what you will of Glenn Beck but this interview , over an hour long , with Whitney Webb is an incredibly dense look into the goings on of Jeffrey Epstein and his connections with our OverLords.
    Epstein goes back to the 70’s not just his goings on in the 21st century.
    She has produced 2 volume books over 1000 pages that touch on Epsteins life and the people around him.
    Fascinating and Whitney is only 33 years old with a knowledge base of that of an 80 year old.

    Well worth a listen to.

    1. John Bosley, OK, I admit it, I’m a Beck fan. I caught this when it first came out on November 12, it literally blew me away. It was well worth my time listening to the whole thing. Epstein was only the starting topic, and it morphed into an interesting variety of great information, and yeah she’s amazing, definitely one to watch in the future, if she doesn’t get Arkencided!

      1. Yup, even talked about transhumanism , WEF, Rockerfellas, depopulation, Canada and MAID euthanizing poor people who cant survive, Trump, the elections, lots of stuff we discuss about here, etc, etc.
        Good thing she lives in Chile but THEY can reach out anywhere on this Globe and touch someone.

        1. Thanks for posting this, J Bos. Watched the whole video and sent to some family to watch as well. Whitney was on my radar about 8 months ago – can’t recall who she was interviewed by – but this was a great follow-up interview. Her photographic memory for remembering facts is pretty remarkable. Would suggest this to many. A couple Canadian shout-outs in the podcast too – the “governor of Alberta”. There’s an audio version on Beck’s podcast site as well. There’s some stuff most SDA’ers (is that a thing?) would know about, but being of the millennial age group, alot of the 80’s and 90’s corruption games are news to me and whether there is some partial truth to it, ties up some loose ends. She has some choice thoughts about Elon as well which I found interesting too.

  5. Speaking of freedom something coming more quickly than most people think is going to be individual carbon rationing, via carbon tracking/weighting – which is already happening. It will allow the outright control of humanity

    I’d like to see our premier outlaw individual carbon tracking. Its foundational to Davos end goals.

      2. Hi DB

        One example – optional – for now – but the tech exists. – I ll post a couple more links in different reply so as not to get caught in spam filter.

        (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian credit union will be launching a Visa credit card which will allow users the option to track their carbon emissions.
        Vancity says its “Carbon Counter” Visa card is a Canada first and claims it is needed for “climate action.”

          1. Theyll use something called the Aland index

            https://en.itameriprojekti.fi/aland-index/

            The Åland Index calculates the impact that your card purchases have on the climate based on the average carbon footprint for each category of industry. This means that it can tell whether you have been at the gas station or the florist, but it can’t connect transactions to individual products. This is because – **there is no climate data available at that level of detail, and also due to privacy concerns**

            No data available at that level. Lets see about that

        2. granular detail you say?

          https://www.atma.io/

          Sustainability & circularity

          Track, measure, analyze and take action to reduce the end-to-end carbon footprint for every product across the supply chain.

          1. Avery Dennison is moving fast!

            https://www.just-style.com/news/avery-dennison-partners-hbar-foundation-for-decarbonisation/

            Part of the collaboration is the adoption of Hedera’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) into the atma.io connected product cloud. Customers will now be able to access one of the most cost effective and energy efficient DLT/blockchain platforms and use that functionality to drive their decarbonisation goals, Avery Dennison says.

            The atma.io connected product cloud helps transform how brands can meet net-zero targets and reduce waste across the supply chain. Currently, over 22 billion items are managed by the atma.io platform across the apparel, retail, food, and healthcare segments. Six of the top 20 apparel brands globally by revenue and four of the top 10 quick-service restaurants (QSRs) use the platform.

  6. Oh thank God, they have a climate emergency strategy in Calgary, just like Ottawa. We’re getting snow Thursday so it must be working.

    Who do these peanuts think they are. While being completely incapable of repairing potholes, the city councillors have the audacity to fix the planet. I despise them.

  7. L – So Canada’s economic freedom is coloured orange, which coincidentally is also the
    colour used in a large area of Mexico. This is an where drug gangs have infiltrated political
    and economic control. In Mexico-Norte, drug gangs get to have the federal gov’t., on behalf
    of the tax payer, purchase 10 doses for each citizen. No open contract bidding involved.
    That used to be called a sweetheart contract. Then prov. gov’t. obediently distribute
    or is that trafficking their product.

    A new manufacturing facility is greeted warmly by the P.M. himself, as modern… ization of
    or should that read the Mexification of the economy. It’s only a coincidence that that the
    colour of both areas in Canada and Mexico are the colour of Jag’s flag. To Be Continued.

    1. Third quartile is a fancy name for third world, or as I prefer call it-turd world.

      Brought to you by the Libranos.

  8. Holy Moly Kate. You just posted the map showing the boundaries of what could become a separate nation (made up of the “blue” states) in the heart of what’s currently the U.S. Then add AB, SK, NE BC, the Yukon/NWT up to the Beaufort Sea and AK to complete the picture. There’s your new country.

    1. These sorts of statements will get the RCMP on your case and you in the pen in Saskatoon. Is your VP a goat?

      1. When it’s no longer a Confederation… Ottawa’s guilty of acting in bad faith with no intention of stopping. All I’m doing is pointing out the obvious consequences of bullying partners of Confederation. They leave to seek something significantly better.

    2. It would be better AB, SK, NE BC, and the Yukon/NWT were also coloured blue, not orange. What makes you think the blue coloured states want a pack of orange socialists joining in their freedom?

    3. Take another look at that map. Even Canada’s “freest” provinces score lower than virtually every state in the union; IIRC the report text said that ALL TEN provinces ranked behind 48 of the 50 states. Even Commiefornia got a better score than Alberta. Now is some of that due to our overbearing Liberal overlords in Ottawa? Sure. But look at Calgary’s stupid city council. Look at Redmonton. Look at SaskPower doubling down on wind & solar. Look at no pushback on vax passes last fall & winter.

      I’m puzzled why the free states would WANT any of the Canadian provinces. AB solely for its oil I suppose.

      1. In addition to Huge Oil Reserves, it’s also a Hugely Strategic Land Bridge to AK. Huge Agriculture. Huge Potash Reserves. Huge Uranium. Huge Fresh Water. Huge Coal. 100’s of TCF’s of Huge Nat Gas Reserves (not counting the vastly under-explored ‘Kenzie Valley/Delta, Yukon & Beaufort Sea). I’m not sure they’ll want Edmonton, but it does have Connor McDavid so it’s not a total loss. It doesn’t have to be an actual country. It could be like an economic/security block like the EU where the individual entities maintain self-governance. Naming the thing would be a real challenge. Although I’m partial I don’t think the “Republic of Moose Jaw” has quite the right ring to it. Still overall I think we’d get Hugely great terms.

  9. Democraps control all the levers of Power in Michigan. It will be interesting to see the colour in 2 or 3 years

  10. The economist Frederik Hayek argued that economic freedom begets political freedom. The former must come first if a society is to thrive.

  14. Smith should do what she can to stamp out that bag charge. Right thing to do, easy cheddar for popularity points.
