1. And cutting down a few trees are not deforestation with trillions of trees around.
   We get more pollution from not using our resources as they burn huge products to the ground.
   Old growth isn’t a terrifying lost forever as climate and species change over centuries.
   Trying to protect a single species isn’t viable as a multitude of factors are in play.
   Overpopulation of our Oceans as water loss was a huge problem and hence our adaptation to land.

2. Re: Career Suicide Note. He bought into most of it but not all of it. Then when it spun out of control, he kept his head down long enough to retire.

   1. Yes. The “I’d rather watch daytime TV and I was big pay equity douchebag while getting on the gubmint teacher pension grift” was telling of super brave Dave.

      1. He was “an academic,” in the truest sense of the word, after all.
         That article had a tinge of Dr. Frankenstein losing control of the monster he created.

3. The career suicide note should be required reading. It is brilliant.

   1. He could have just said “I’m going to Galt’s Gulch” and we all would have got it in under a second rather than the longish bloviation.

   2. Yes indeed. It was a good essay. We can hope he continues to speak out a lot more now than he did when he was getting a paycheque.

4. I see the government wants NFLD to stop off shore projects. No the liberals don’t to kill you, they want to kill all of us.

5. The Road to Serfdom should be made into a song and adapted as the Canadian anthem.

   1. Let loose the moose and espouse the mouse!

      C’mon Canada embrace honesty for once.

6. The Houthi article is well worth a read.

7. the north korea canada thing.
   an image comes to mind based on the creeping evolution of the extreme regulation and limits placed on word and thought. well here it is.
   the TURDeau has some sort of helmet picking up brain waves. these sensors are fed into gigantic electronic control machines that are then integrally connected to the communications network, media network, libraries, commerce and all those regulatory bodies
   etc etc etc.
   the TURDeau makes itself into a god with omnipotent power via technology.
   society instantly responding to the latest mental hiccup in the TURDeau brainiac brain.

   and he really does admire communism.

   1. We are the priests
      Of the temples
      Of Syrinx
      Our great computers
      Fill these hallowed halls

      Interesting read. Thanks.

9. RE: “A European View”
   Forgive me, but I see this as a glass half-empty kind of scenario, because I’m tired of always having to compromise with the left.

   To counter the rather optimistic tone in the European Conservative article:
   – SK had to implement the notwithstanding clause to invoke it’s new law. Even with that, the article informs that a SK judge is allowing the case against the popular measure to proceed despite the use of the notwithstanding clause.
   – MN conservatives lost the election after promising to make parental rights a part of the policy platform.
   – Fallout from Danielle Smith’s policy shift is yet to be determined. Even the article’s author seems to acknowledge this.
   – A small town in AB voting with a bare majority (51% in a town of 5000 people) to ban non-governmental flags flying on public buildings and any color other than white painted on cross walks, is more of an outlier than an indication of a trend.

   Remember, as the article concedes, same-sex marriage and abortion are also examples of “rights” imposed from the top down against the wishes of the majority opinion.

   And also remember how the government and the media “convinced” the majority to change their views. I anticipate a similar result will occur in this debate. Maybe the majority of Canadians are ready for a fight, but if history serves as precedent, the progressives will win. They always win, because our leadership isn’t devoted to Canadian values, but of post-nationalistic, globalist values.

   Side note: Does anyone really believe that Jason Kenney was a [social] conservative? I find that Danielle Smith, although not really a true conservative, is displaying a rational much like true conservatism, more so than Kenney ever did.

   1. Kenney was a centrist whore, interested in nothing more than seeking re-election, who flip-flopped like a flag depending on which way the wind was blowing. Never liked him as a Fed, far less so as premiere. Proud to say I was an active participant in the movement to get rid of the bastard.

      1. Amen, DB. What I was alluding to in my comment with the side note is that the author can’t really know much about Canadian politics if he thinks Jason Kenney is a *social* conservative (emphasis on the word “social”).

   2. Conservative ?
      In Canada you say?
      Surely you jest?
      Canadian Conservatives are the pot in Potemkin, the Edward in Bernays, the Generals in Washington, the Bernie in Madoff and the paper in paper bags of dough.

      Yeesh. If there is one truly successful department in govt it is the education department. Stunningly successful as the dumbingdown of Canadians(this phrase gets ‘content deactivated’ on Postmedia NB- as does ‘incompetent Liberal immigration’) continues apace.
