Because they can.
No link, I just thought it was perfect.
Update:
Beyond the shattering personal tragedy for the families involved, there was so much that was odd about the fire. It just didn’t add up. How could a simple house fire in a 3-bedroom building spread so rapidly that the whole structure was engulfed before either adult could get out, leaving zero time to rescue their children? And there was an explosion? What’s normally found in a home that makes a big enough bang to rip a roof off? See? Odd. And why is this odd house fire relevant on RestoreCSA? It’s been a busy couple of weeks here, with another two ahead. Many thanks to Francisco, Robert and Dennis along with those of you who faithfully drop quality links in these threads for helping to pick the slack. Monday has begun. Kindly send us some rain if you happen to have a little extra hanging around. Is Cuba finally reaching end state communism? Videos uploaded to social media appear to show demonstrations in a number of towns and cities, including the capital, Havana, on Sunday. Protesters, chanting in Spanish, said they “weren’t afraid” of the regime led by Miguel Diaz Canel, and said they wanted access to COVID-19 vaccines and an end to communism. It comes amid reports of gas, electricity, and vaccine shortages across the Caribbean island nation. Some analysts noted online that Sunday’s demonstrations are the first time that so many had protested the government since the Maleconazo uprising in 1994, which prompted a number of Cubans to leave the country by boat to the U.S. Wait and find out, I guess. Update: More video at Zerohedge. h/t Robert. Texas Now Investigating 386 More Cases of Voter Fraud, Attorney General Tells CPAC “People tell you there is no election fraud. Let me just tell you right now, my office has 511 counts in court because of COVID waiting to be heard. We have another 386 that we’re investigating,” he told the CPAC audience in Texas. “If you add those together, that’s more election fraud than my office has prosecuted since it started investigating election fraud years and years ago. So do not believe the narrative, because in Texas we are going to fight election fraud.” The people who told them Trump “colluded with Russia” — are telling them the election wasn’t stolen. The people who told them Trump said neo-Nazis were “fine people” — are telling them the election wasn’t stolen. The people who told them Trump advised to “drink bleach” — are telling them the election wasn’t stolen. If you want to them to believe the election wasn’t stolen, you’ll need to find new people.
The Canada Infrastructure Bank is refusing to disclose bonuses paid to executives despite a unanimous vote by MPs on a House of Commons committee calling for the amounts to be revealed. Members of Parliament on the standing committee on transport, infrastructure and communities, including Liberal MPs, voted 11-0 on March 23 in support of a motion requesting that the bank “file all documents detailing the bonus policies and payment of bonuses to executives and the board of directors since the bank’s inception.” […] The Liberal government created the CIB in 2017 as a Crown corporation with a $35-billion budget and a mandate to support projects that are in the public interest and that attract outside investment from large institutional investors, such as pension funds. The exchange between the transport committee and the CIB is one of several continuing battles between the minority Parliament and the government over motions to turn over documents. In one case, the Liberal government is taking the House of Commons Speaker to court in an effort to prevent the release of uncensored documents that MPs requested in relation to the firing of two scientists from Canada’s top infectious-disease laboratory. h/t Chris, who has more; 2. In contempt of Parliament… Federal bureaucrats are refusing to follow ANOTHER law. The federal Finance Department is asserting that it has the power to freeze a law passed by Parliament that gives more generous tax treatment to small businesses…The legislation received royal assent on June 29. But, in a news release issued the next day, Finance stated that the new rules won’t come into effect until Jan. 1. The department’s stance that it can delay the onset of the new tax rules is unusual. It also defies federal law, which says bills go into effect when given royal assent unless otherwise specified, according to experts in legislative process and parliamentary procedure. Links are here. How the sausage gets made at the fake information site Wikipedia. A prenatal test used worldwide sends gene data of pregnant women to the company that developed it with China’s military. Commodities trader Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. struck a deal last summer to buy $36 million of copper from a Turkish supplier. But when the cargoes started arriving in China, all it found were containers full of painted rocks. If you got ’em, flaunt ’em. They spied on the Trump transition team, they’ll spy on anyone. Updated, more here.
According to Argus Media, the European Commission – that murder of career bureaucrats – has proposed exempting private jets and cargo flights, two of the most polluting forms of transportation, from the planned EU jet fuel tax. A draft indicates that the tax would be phased-in for passenger flights, including ones that carry cargo.
