1. The actual quote was, “the Independent Electricity System Operator projects Ontario’s electricity demand could double by mid-century — and next steps involve looking for new wind, solar and hydroelectric power.”

   This says nothing about “embracing”. BS distortion by OJ. Looking does not mean embracing.

   1. The real story was the new nukes, and pushing back on committing to no new gas. The wind and solar was an afterthought for appearance sake.

      1. – And no possibility of any meaningful new hydropower – the Greeeeens would have a cow at the habitat destruction!

         1. All the good hydro sites have already been developed.

      2. Agreed entirely. Which is why OJ’s focusing on wind/solar was so stupid and misleading. The story is about the province refusing to let the lights go out, meaning more nuclear and more gas, with mere handwaving towards the ecofreaks and their love of bird-slicers.

      3. I sent Doug an email pointing out the wind and solar are the cause of our forthcoming energy shortage.

         1. Not worth the effort Robert. I have sent hard copy and emails, just a waste of time in this province and country.

      Miss fires agin!

      1. Failing remedial kindergarten yet again, are you?

2. Bankers are yanking the unlimited credit card that our politicians believe that they are entitled to.
   Hence the massive rate hikes quickly to piss off its citizenship.

   Everything bought in US currency is about to be classed as worth less than toilet paper in value.
   Does NATO get paid in Green Backs too?
   How about United Nations, that too?
   Hmmm…

   I believe our highest costs in Canada in housing is to discourage international investors from buying up all of Canadian Property.

   1. China is the big manipulation in this board game.
      Hadn’t Russia invaded Ukraine, we’d be in World War 3 as our politicians wanted to Emergency Powers everyone into this war inside the Ukraine border.
      China warned Russia of this plan at the last minute and Russia did an effective counter measure to break this move.

      It was all about keeping the US Dollar as World Reserve Currency had Russia fallen…

      1. Is there legal authority to emergency powers for an undeclared war on foreign soil?

         Otherwise, their motives would be as you said. Sleazy.

         1. Is there legal authority to invoke the War Measures Act when there’s no actual war?

   2. Going golfing with some old army buddies at Base Borden this morning, then I’m heading up your way Jo Jo to spend a few days at my shack.

      1. That sounds like fun, very enjoyable. Enjoy.

3. Regarding Chowtown.
   When Layton was mayor there was a debate about diversifying food truck fare. l figured Layton would like to see Chinese food sold from street vendors, because he loves a little Chinese chow…
   Nobody laughed then either*. And I still don’t care.

   * – don’t waste your time telling jokes to law students.

   1. I don’t think Layton was ever mayor, councilor but not mayor. He also liked his ‘massages’.
      In the U.K., so an ugly queer criminal in a dress can advocate violence in public and nothing happens but it you tweet trans women are men you can be arrested? Am I reading this right?

   2. It’s not the jokes. They were waiting for the 3 page legalese disclaimer before and after the joke.

4. Ref Blubber Douggie and windmills and mirrors.

   Oh no, don’t tell me he’s flip-flopping!

5. “Which is one of the reasons why Canada is stepping up to build the Centre of Excellence for Climate Security in Montreal. That’s one of the announcements we’re going to be making tomorrow at the NATO summit,”

   I am sure NATO has other things on its hands at the moment; how irreleavent can our PM be?

   1. If he heard that, he’s saying hold my beer.

6. “Which is one of the reasons why Canada is stepping up to build the Centre of Excellence for Climate Security in Montreal. That’s one of the announcements we’re going to be making tomorrow at the NATO summit,” he continued.

   NATO is in deep shit over Ukraine and the grown-up (if you can find them) will be busy discussing some serious political and military options. Trying to avoid WW3 and the undermining of western economies. Including membership in EU/NATO for a couple of countries. In will waltz Tudeau, announcing a Centre of Excellence for Climate Security in Montreal. I want to see the look on the faces of NATO reps when he announces this. What socks will he wear, I wonder.

7. Re: the drug dealers in SFO. Newsome has ordered the CHP and National Guard to help take care of the problem. No worries, Ponch is on it!

8. Re Joe “Biden is an angry old man.”

   No he actually isn’t. He’s a befuddled old man.

   People with dementia often display bouts of anger because they don’t realize they’re deluded, they think everyone around them is lying to them. He displays classic symptoms of the condition.
