Saturday On Turtle Island – small dead animals

Conman Carney’s Canada: The scourge of antisemitism. Chowtown. Doug Ford’s school boards.

The Democratic Party’s America: UBI for me, but not for thee. Mamdani appoints a deputy mayor.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC: How much do we have to tolerate? Why Muslims will never integrate. Interfaith dialogue in Nigeria. Taxpayer payout for Islamist killer.

Your morning meme. Another meme. A cartoon. And at the Bee.

I have various thoughts – I have previously posted that I am a student of history, geography and demographics. I have noticed, over and over again, that those countries/peoples who are anti-semitic do not have good things happen to them. Based on history, it would be wise to support the Jewish people and Israel’s existence. Perhaps you could also argue that bad things happen (such as will happen to Canada) because the leaders are “too stupid to feed themselves”.
I left Toronto in early March 2002 because I could see the writing on the wall that it would become a city of very rich people or very poor people, no middle class. Cities and countries NEED the middle class to provide inspiration/aspiration for all levels of society. Olivia Chow and her dead husband, Jack Layton had started to ruin the city in the mid-1990’s, she is just completing the cycle now.
NYC was almost bankrupt in the mid-1970’s, but managed with good government to haul themselves out of the abyss, but it took a generation (20 years) to do so. Mamdani will ruin it in 5 years, and then hopefully, good government will return, but again it will take 20 years (so 2050) to repair the damage. Just as in Toronto and the state of California, money has already started to walk.

Trump won’t bail out Mad Mani and his democratic socialists.

Wall Street will probably close the pits in short order, since everything is run on computers in New Jersey already, and the trading floor is just Kabuki.

It’s past time for the elimination of school boards, they raise the cost of education without any improvement, and the TDSB has multiple puzzle palaces full of “curriculum specialists” inventing new “pedagogy” that doesn’t even cover the basics.
