  1. Huh. Interesting. The entire site comes across as a bit conspiracy theorist, but the Pumas/Vans and wristwatch observations in the second link are interesting.

    The Nashville crime scene was set up in advance and the shooting was staged.

    These damning photos prove that the entire video of alleged Covenant school mass shooter released by law enforcement proves it was a prerecorded hoax!

    1. They better be careful or they will get the Alex Jones treatment for going against the narrative.
      Over $ 1 Billion US in fines tends to dampen ones enthusiasm in going against the trend.

    3. Oh yes. I can clearly see the “pumu” text on the left shoe. I can even read the “made in China” stamp below in 6 point text. Must be a high res video.

      1. Nancy Pelosi knew it on Jan 5, 2021.

        We don’t need the National Guard. We have the Federal Bureau of Interference.

      2. “I knew that on Jan 6, 2021.

        Many did. It’s refreshing to hear it publicly announced by the pricks on the other side.

  4. Gee, I always wondered what it was like to be in 1980’s Argentina. Keep Dem printing presses running tranny-boyz!

  5. I’m reposting this poll from earlier.

    It’s a Calgary CTV News poll about the conversation between Premier Smith and Calgary Pastor Artur Pawlowski who was arrested a number of times during the lockdowns: “Do you think Premier Danielle Smith has interfered with Alberta’s justice system?” It had been nearly 50/50 at one point. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/

    2. The propaganda generated by the Loyal Presstitutes isn’t having the desired effect. 2/3 still say Smith did not interfere.

      HSAA is also in full bull shit spewing mode.

    1. I wonder, has it ever occurred for that officer to ask himself who actually does take those explicit photos of his wife? Those are clearly not selfies, so there has to be at least one person who does.

    1. “Time for your next booster,” Episode 7,355. Soon to be the longest running TV advert in history.

  11. I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords (PART 1)

    “Electric automaker Lucid has announced plans to cut roughly 18% of its workforce. The layoffs amount to around 1,300 employees and come alongside news of a poor production forecast for 2022 as well as an alleged “major drop” in orders.”

    “Lucid, which has long struggled with production issues, has not announced any discounts on its Air sedan, which is currently the only vehicle it makes.”

    1. A stunning blow to the Puerto Ricans who actually raised him, and to his foster family in South Africa.

  14. Meanwhile, the Schwab Bank has been losing billions from depressed long-term bonds, yet observers say the bank should be able to survive the difficulties:
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/charles-schwab-says-it-could-ride-out-a-deposit-flight-a8b2a626

    There is a Canadian connection here, since TD Bank is by far the largest institutional share owner of Schwab, owning 12.8% of the storied bank. Schwab also owns TD Ameritrade but TD Bank runs the company.

    Yesterday I sent all this information as a news tip to the G&M’s Report on Business, but no reply from them.

  15. I had a new water well drilled for $6,000 a few years back. It might be $12,000 today. Lucky I don’t live in Woodstock, Ontario.

    https://ca.news.yahoo.com/woodstock-4-million-second-well-235443367.html

    Their well cost $4.1 million to drill and they probably can’t use the water. At first read you might think the water has too much manganese or it’s too salty. But read again, especially this paragraph.

    “Pelkey broke down the sources of the $4.1 million, saying $1.7 million came from provincial and federal programs, including the RDC and ICIP (Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program). The town contributed almost $1.4 million and used more than $1 million of Gas Tax Funds.”

    The cost of something the government does is the amount of money it can raise from the supposed “stakeholders”. If you want to do this while you’re screwing around with your water supply then you’re a fool.

    Also, I love the fact that the experts swoop in after the fact to explain why the water is no good. How about having them swoop in before the fact to make sure you are drilling in a potable aquifer.

  16. The RCMP are not investigating the China government interference into the recent Vancouver city election:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-rcmp-not-investigating-foreign-interference-in-vancouvers-2022/

    An RCMP spokesperson said yesterday “Move along, move along. There’s nothing to see here folks”. This in response to the guarantee from Prime Minister Trudeau that all elections in Csnada are free from foreign interference.

  17. Budget item. Bank of Canada Act amendment to release bank from having to give Gov of Canada earnings while it has negative equity.
    Oops, dah bank is bust. The Bank of Canada Act has a provision that prevents it from being subject to liquidation or winding-up like normal corporations so it can continue business even if it is bust.

    https://www.budget.canada.ca/2023/report-rapport/anx3-en.html
    Bank of Canada Negative Equity
    In Budget 2023, the government proposes to introduce legislative amendments to allow the Bank of Canada to temporarily withhold remittances until negative equity associated with the Government of Canada Bond Purchase Program has been restored.

    1. Let’s say you have:
      $600,000 in bank stock with “the Great Canadian Bank” or GCB.
      $600,000 in cash (some in a savings account), plus some GCB GICs and a BMO GIC for $100,000.
      $600,000 in stocks not including the GCB bank.
      $600,000 mortgage with GCB.
      ——————————————-
      You think you are worth $1,200,000 ($1.8 M – $0.6M). Then it goes bankrupt. What do you have in the bank? I have no idea.
      bank stock? probably $0.00
      cash? probably the insurance minimum.
      GICS in a bankrupt bank? no idea.
      Other stocks. Are they yours or part of the bank’s “assets”? No idea.
      Your BMO GIC? You would think it’s still good but do you lose it?
      Mortgage. That’s the only thing I’m sure would survive.
      This is something nobody is talking about – during a banking crisis.

      1. Yeah, your books say $1.2 million.
        In bankruptcy of bank expect zero on bankrupt bank stock. Other stocks will be worth something (in a crisis expect down somewhat).
        Your BMO GIC is good for now but through CDIC, BMO and other banks have to pay up to bail out failed bank.
        If you have $500,000 in GCB you have $100,000 CDIC insured for what that might be worth. So I’d figure how many cents on the dollar. Normally a bank is at $1.05 on the dollar ($0.05 is surplus) but if bankrupt it is less than $1.00. If regulator has done half ass job you should get +$0.90 on the dollar, if not then worse.
        Yes the mortgage remains and there is no offset against who GCB owes you.

      2. CDIC is worth $0.73 for every $100.00 of deposits. So if bank has $105.00 of assets for every $100.00 of deposits, the CDIC boosts it to $105.73 of assets for every $100.00 of deposits.
        If a RBC / TD / BMO went under, likely not much help from CDIC. Insurance is no good if the insurer doesn’t have money to pay the claim and if they put the screws to the other banks to bail it out, there would be a system wide fail.

        In US, big banks making $30 billion of deposits to First Republic Bank two weeks ago isn’t that big of a deal to them since they are on the hook anyway if FRB failed. They are giving them liquidity to stop the run to save fees on bailing them out. Makes sense for the banks but don’t be fooled that it boosts the overall system.

  25. Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies has published a new paper, Preliminary Lessons from Russia’s Unconventional Operations During the Russo-Ukrainian War, February 2022–February 2023
    https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/special-resources/preliminary-lessons-russias-unconventional-operations-during-russo-ukrainian-war-february-2022

    It’s a long read, but should be interesting (for those who want to know what actually was happening).

    1. A short summary from the main page: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 sent shockwaves around the world as states reacted to the return of high-intensity state-on-state conventional warfare on the European continent. Less attention has been paid to the unconventional aspects of this conflict – and yet, these are essential to understanding Russian actions and methods. The invasion itself can be seen as the intended culmination of a long unconventional campaign waged by Russia against Ukraine. The unconventional operations during the war have often been critical to Russia’s successive theories of victory, even as its conventional forces have failed to achieve their objectives on the battlefield. For those wishing to understand the Russian way of war and to learn lessons for their own defence, it is important to study this unconventional side of the conflict.

      1. Isn’t that the same guy who wrote the book “How America defeated Afghanistan”?

        1. No, because nobody can write a non-existent book. If you prefer sources that say Russian assault on Kyiv / Sumy / Chernihiv was a feint, then, well, stick to those sources. Or take recreational drugs for the same effect.

          1. Kind of like Ukraine’s non-existent victory. Now pass those drugs over.

          2. Can’t figure out whether you’re really such a jerk or just trolling. Not really worth trying to figure it out either.

            No reference to any Ukrainian victories in that paper, anyway.

  26. The Stand with Ukraine folk will not be satisfied until the entire planet is overrun by antifa trannies and other assorted commies. They just want to start with Russia because its a straight white-Christian country.

    1. Absolutely, but you forgot to add that Russia is conservative and every man in Russia own a gun, as true as its being white and Christian.*

      *I bet none of the schweinie-lovers could sense sarcasm in the sentence above before getting to the bottom note.

    1. All 3 of the people involved are human garbage.
      1. Male Karen thinks he can boss strangers around without any consequences.
      2. Violent thug stabs him for it, when a simple “mind yer own business!” or just ignoring the ahole altogether was all that was called for.
      3. Eloi watches it all, doesn’t provide aid.

      1. I wouldn’t put it that callously but not 10 minutes ago I was saying to my wife that it’s extremely ill-advised to issue behaviour directions to a total stranger. Better to avoid eye contact and simply move the child away from the vaper. AND besides, how sad that this poor father had been propagandized into believing that 5-10 minutes in close proximity to a vaper would harm his daughter. So, in trying to prevent an imagined harm he has deprived his daughter of a father, his wife a husband and his mother her son.

        Hope you don’t misinterpret this. The killer and the killer alone is responsible for this tragedy. But with the absolute madness our society has descended into, gotta have good situational awareness and treat every stranger as a potential murderer.

        1. Bossing strangers around is just rude, no matter how much you may hate the smell of vapes, cigars or pot.
          If you go around rudely accosting strangers, sooner or later, one will do something about it.
          The world is better off with less people who think its rude, or even threatening to smoke a cigar while waiting for a bus or while having an after-dinner cognac. Those are the people denouncing their neighbors during the lockdowns, etc.
          From where I sit, one less Karen, and one less violent thug on the streets. Win/win.

          1. “If you go around rudely accosting strangers, sooner or later, one will do something about it.”

            The ‘progressives’ demand that this behavior be taught and encouraged in school children (along with teaching all the little darlings that they are “special” and should never have to do anything that makes them uncomfortable). Then they get out into the real world, and are horrified to realize how many people don’t think their opinions are worth listening to, and how their employers really don’t care how uncomfortable they are cleaning the toilets at Starbucks.

          2. Its more than just the progs. its almost everybody now.
            I remember when I could light up a smoke on a bus, FFS.
            Seems like nowadays, more people will bitch about that than a stabbing on a bus.

    1. Americans don’t like courts being used for political pay back. This will backfire.

  32. Suspect sought after two separate assaults on TTC
    https://www.cp24.com/news/suspect-sought-after-two-separate-assaults-on-ttc-1.6335229

    On Wednesday, police released a photo of the female suspect, identified as 29-year-old Nimo Umar Gayad.

    She is wanted on nine charges, including three counts of assault, one count of assault with a weapon and one count of aggravated assault.

    Police said Gayad is believed to be armed and dangerous, so if anyone locates her, they should not approach and instead call 911.

  40. 2 + 2 = White Supremacy: How Woke Ideologues Corrupted Canada’s Math Curriculum
    https://www.newenglishreview.org/2-2-white-supremacy-how-woke-ideologues-corrupted-canadas-math-curriculum/

    Two plus two no longer equals four, according to members of the Ontario Mathematics Coordinators Association (OMCA), who consider the equation to be a white-supremacist dog whistle instead of a basic mathematical truth.

    According to a webinar created by OMCA president Jason To, proponents of math’s political neutrality who use the phrasing “2 + 2 = 4” are engaged in an act of “Covert White Supremacy.”
