  1. So what? If people don’t like water-rationed, Chinese-owned apartments, they will simply move elsewhere. That’s why people are fleeing California, New York, Massachusetts and Illinois.

    1. Really? Ask a useful hardworking common sense twenty year old let’s say in Ontario what they think. And with current political climate and culture where the heck they move too. I don’t know for sure if the progs planed this or cowardly Conservatives let this happen. But it’s far from so what . It’s all tied to all the prog buzz words that have come to pass, but took hold of a society. There is no give and take with Modern Liberalism. It’s amazing that it’s still something a society tolerates. If this the path the states is going to tread they will as we already have slowly morph into something almost unrecognized and the good willingly forgotten.

      1. In case you hadn’t been paying attention, for years Canadians have been moving out of provinces where the economy was in decline into provinces where it was growing. Starting in the early 1980s, Newfoundlanders were going in thousands to Alberta seeking skilled work after the collapse of the Atlantic fisheries. In Quebec, thousands of English-speaking Canadians fled the province to Ontario after the election of Rene Levesque in 1976.

        But this part is ridiculous. “Ask a useful hardworking common sense twenty year old…”

        Really? Where are they? Mostly they are playing games on their telephones and remaining ignorant because of the worthless garbage shoveled into them by the school system.

        If there are any such creatures out there, they said, “chuck you Farley, Imma outta here,” and headed west down the highway to find useful jobs in the oil-sands. Altlantic Canadians who wanted a better prospect have been deserting those provinces for over a century.

        1. I understand how you feel but lately I have to say I’ve been running into 20 something males and females that would agree or at least understand where you and I are coming from there are useful kids mind you yes they are rare. And I find most that I have usually worked with in the summers have either paid attention to some old school grand parent, or strick , no nonsense parent that kept them grounded and actually said No and meant it. I can’t argue with you asking where they are but they are there and to be honest I have to confess I feel sry for them. Because your right about the little vegetables that can do no wrong and are hardly ever challenged.
          I know what I’m talking about I watched a six year girl old and a three year old boy grow for 6 years, and your exactly right. I watched it, and didn’t keep my mouth shut and I don’t regret it. But I do meet useful kids and some are even disgusted with Modern Liberalism and the erasure of merit.

          1. Here I agree with you entirely. Modern Progressivism has turned into something completely toxic and self destructive. The insanity of the Progs knows no limit. Do we really want vital things like heart surgery or flying commercial aircraft performed by someone who meets some progressive agenda as to how people should look? Or do we think it’s a good idea for patients to survive heart surgery or the next air flight?

            What we are really discussing is the helplessness of individuals confronted with state-level insanity. So, like the Jews in Germany in the 1930s, if we have the means we flee the country.

  2. That smile should be against the law. It’s the most dishonest and inhuman thing. It will eventually consume her head.

    1. I was thinking the same thing. Never trust a bureaucrat with a sinister smile like that.

    2. TN.

      Geebus, all the way through I was muttering ‘can you vary your facial expressions: turn the smile off some.

      Not being a prolific smiler I really do like a good smile.
      BUT non-stop smilers have always alarmed me: it’s the tool of con-men and con-women. Also, the kindergarten tone is so frickin patronizing.

      1. And what is this woman’s greatest con? “Harmony” … she demands harmony. And what do you suppose she REALLY means by that universally wonderful-sounding goal? Of course … SILENCE the conservatives. Shut them up. Cancel them. Then she will have the “Harmony” of which she pines-for. This woman is Mao, with a plastered-on smile. A crooked smile.

        And she starts by celebrating Utah’s newfound … di-ver-shitty. You know the unique qualities that SEPARATE people … and then she calls for “Unity” … demands “Harmony”. Again, what she REALLY means is SHUT UP about all those “newcomers” and their Jew-hate and Christophobia. Just SHUT THE HELL UP … she says with a fake grin.

    3. The smile is AI made but for me the eyes are worse. They look dead. Like she’s an old whore letting one more John do what he has paid for. A lot of bought and paid for elites must know their lies are going to catch up to them. Maybe that is what kool-aid eyes look like. Yeah, maybe she drank the kool-aid too many times.

      Was she raised Mormon? Has the Book of Mormon added a few more verses to accommodate all the new things?

  3. The tall, water rationed residence apartment buildings seems like it could be used to solve the housing issue i keep hearing about on First Nations lands, no? Put up a couple of them on each reserve, and problem solved!

    Cant imagine why they wouldnt go for it.

    /Sarc

    1. Mad Macs, the Soviet version of managing this problem was borrowed from Czarist Russia. We call them ‘gulags’.

      1. Exactly!
        I find it interesting (and scary!) that people can so openly suggest these types of societal changes..and seemingly call it progress, and that we should just accept it.

        Like the calgary mayor selling “renting” as some sort of liberating positive!!

        Selling us pieces of societal turds, while telling us their sh$t dont stink!!

        1. I agree entirely. Remember that these people never imagine that they will be the ones so treated. They are among “The Elect” who are here to guide us to Nirvana. They will have their own dachaus and gated communities guarded by expensive private security having nothing to do with the mere police.

          This is where Kate is wrong. They are the Elect. They will not have to eat bugs. They will be free to own property and to travel without limit using fossil fuels. They will be free to eat beef and wear furs or anything else that strikes their fancy. They will be entirely free from the burdens they place on us the miserable Hoi Polloi. Progressivism and Socialism all love mass misery from which the Elite are immune.

          1. Inclined to disagree, it’s the useful idiots that get taken out first because they helped plan and execute the tyranny. There can be no whistleblowers.
            They think they are privileged….

  4. “Maybe you don’t want to charge more or pay more for water…”
    Oh my…if you’re a farmer/rancher that right there is what you call a “heads up”.
    But please keep in mind to have an open mind.
    That woman gives me Nurse Ratched vibes like nothing else.

  5. Public policy people are always looking to shape things.
    The most common shape they produce is a steaming coil.

    1. She looks like she practices in front of a mirror and she’s chosen Rachel Maddow as her model.
      Creepy talking snake.

  6. The most dangerous politicians and bureaucrats are the ones insisting they leave their mark.

    1. MikeT

      “insisting they leave a mark”.

      Or having visions for the future.
      I loved Bush Sr’s comment decades ago about not really being into the “vision thing”. This patronizing kindergarten teacher-like mega smiler is having visions for sure.

  7. This is about Utah. Yes, the economy is one of the strongest in the USA. It is also one of the lowest tax jurisdictions (for now), ranking as 8th best in the country.

    https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/state/2024-state-business-tax-climate-index/

    The troubling thing is the change in the economy away from mining, forestry etc to education, health care, and government. How can that be sustained? My expectation for Utah is that it has hit a maximum, soon to be infiltrated by the left with higher taxes, poorer services and the inevitable slow decline that is killing America.

    Utah has been run by Republicans continuously since 1985 although prior to that there was a healthy mix of Democrats and Republicans. If you look at the list of best states for low taxes, looks like the top 10 might be all Republican (Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska, Florida etc.) and the bottom 10 all Democrat (New Jersey, New York, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts etc.).

    1. Ex pat Californian lefties are busy now destroying northern Idaho.

    1. well shyt js they are dying arent they?
      count me out, 72 no cancer, heart disease, COPD, kidney, gall stones, cirrhosis etc up the wazoo. l dont even wear glasses and can still hear opera singers.

      l am disengaging. lm turning society into a Shakespeare play, comedy, tragedy, farce, horror show, fantasy all in one!!!

      (l really like it when they turn his plays into a movie with sets and costumes, it helps me follow the story Polanski’s Macbeth and a cpl Zefferilli works my fav movies.)

  8. Crap. Another State to cross off my list of Promised Lands into which I hope to escape California.

  9. The Lady is an Associate Dean, David Eccles School of Business. She is likely a Republican as she has been a Bush appointee at one time and has done work for their Republican Governor. She sounds like a professional Kumbaya cheerleader well versed in disseminating platitudes. Her reference to people being open to school vouchers likely makes her more conservative (libertarian) than most Canadian Conservatives.
