And The Budget Will Balance Itself

Because we want rid of him, Blackface Boy-man will burn everything you’ve worked for to the ground.

Home prices are unsustainable and have normalized a “massive increase in value” for retirees, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He made the remarks at a private seminar with Canada’s leading advocates of a home equity tax: ‘It’s not like your grandparents saying, ‘Ah, bread used to cost me a nickel.’

Related: The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board put more than $600 million in China’s electric vehicle sector accused by cabinet of unfair trade practices. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland blamed Chinese industry for job-killing schemes, telling Canadian workers: “We are going to protect you.”

Evidence Is Just A Tool Of Colonial Oppression

When it comes to abuses suffered by indigenous school kids boarded in private homes, it’s apparently not the job of the mainstream media to actually investigate such claims, but rather to accept them uncritically. Anything beyond that would just delay the writing of cheques by the federal government, or so it would seem.

Now, the suffering of boarding home survivors is being recognized and compensated under a Federal Court-approved $1.9-billion settlement agreement with Ottawa.

Survivors are also allowed to submit more than one claim — the first to get $10,000 for attending a boarding home, and a second for additional compensation based on the abuse suffered.

But like the day school settlement, and unlike the residential school claims process, the claims process for boarding home survivors is entirely paper-based and won’t involve hearings with lawyers.

No Payments, No Interest, Forever

You don’t have to dig far into the details to find out that this “loan” is really just a giveaway, or, in modern parlance, a “special-purpose vehicle”.

The government sent a letter to First Nations groups last year proposing a special-purpose vehicle that would hold a stake in the pipeline, and individual groups would be able to choose whether to opt in. For those that want a piece of the action, the government intends to provide risk-free access to capital, the letter said, without providing details such as how big of a stake it would sell.

 

A Nation of Rent Seekers

If someone’s going to question whether a $510 million legal fee is excessive or not, why not ask the same question about the $10 billion settlement that triggered the fees in the first place?

 Two First Nations have launched a court application against the lawyers who helped bring forward a $10-billion settlement with Canada and Ontario, saying the $510 million they’re set to be paid is too much.

“The legal fee is extremely over-the-top,” said Garden River First Nation Chief Karen Bell.

She said she has an “obligation to seek accountability and transparency,” and the application should not disrupt payments to beneficiaries. Those payments are scheduled to start flowing in August.

I know it works out to $170,000 per job, but they’re “green” jobs, right?

Interesting to see that even the CBC is questioning the wisdom of the idea that no price is too high when it comes to reducing a carbon footprint.

One economics professor tweeted he was “legit astonished” by the investment in Italpasta.

“Do they not understand just how insane this is? That spending north of $170k for *one job* is an embarrassment, not an achievement?” wrote Stephen Gordon of Laval University.

“There is really no underlying economic rationale,” said Robert Gillezeau, assistant professor of economics at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. “I think those spends are more about politics than they are about economic development.”

Made Up Identities

Who’d have thunk it? An Indigenous Identity Fraud Summit opens with everyone accusing each other of being frauds. But that’s inevitable with organizations focused on accidents of birth instead of ideas.

Chartrand and the MMF broke from MNC in 2021 over the 2017 recognition of six new historic Métis communities in Ontario, stretching the Métis homeland all the way to the Quebec border.

One of Louis Riel’s greatest fears, said Chartrand, was that the Métis would be swamped not just by settlers from the east, but from within.

Ontario chiefs also reject the communities and accuse MNO of usurping First Nations’ heritage by co-opting their ancestors as Métis.

They’ve mounted a massive pressure campaign against federal Bill C-53, which would recognize the MNO, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and Otipemisiwak Métis Government (OMG) — formerly the Métis Nation of Alberta — as Indigenous governments.

If Women Ran The World

We’d still live in caves but with really fancy, torn curtains.

As part of the retreat, Banducci held a rage ritual: a ceremony in which participants scream and beat large sticks on the ground in the woods. Participants are encouraged to think of people and experiences that have wronged them and to scream and swing the sticks for at least 20 minutes, or until they can no longer move their arms.

Rage rituals have garnered attention on TikTok, where they’ve resonated, particularly with women.

Everyone-gets-a-trophy didn’t turn out the way they planned.

Embrace Hollywood!

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.“. – Michael Moore

…for years, a friend of mine who is a partner at a firm which represents writers, directors and actors had a large bell installed on his office wall. Whenever an executive would close a big deal, they would run to the bell and ring it enthusiastically to the cheers and applause of colleagues up and down the halls.

Recently my friend was contacted by the dreaded H.R. department. Several assistants had complained about the bell. They didn’t like the public celebrations over clients making mutli-million dollar deals because it made them feel badly about their own financial situations. It was, as the saying goes, “triggering” for them.

The bell had to go.

What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?

University.

Over a decade ago, I wrote a short book titled The Higher Education Bubble, which was followed by a much longer one called The New School, and a significantly longer and updated paperback version called The Education Apocalypse.

In all of these books I explained, with increasing amounts of detail and examples, why I thought that the existing system of higher education in America was doomed. Not that higher education itself would cease to exist, but that the standard model of college, graduate, and professional education that had obtained since the passage of the G.I. Bill, and in many ways since the late 19th Century, would largely cease to exist. This was due to a combination of out-of-control costs and loss of prestige.

So is the apocalypse now? Maybe. At the very least, we’re at some sort of a turning point.

Ground Zero for Jew-hatred in America.

Use the wrong pronoun or wear a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo, and your university will consider bringing out the firehoses and German shepherds; but assault Jewish students and call for their extermination (along with the eradication of a sovereign nation), and the same university will defend your actions as representing the sacred right to free and open speech. Antisemitism has spread like ebola across American Academia. But there are at least three good reasons to single out Columbia.

The President of Columbia University has only has 1 well-cited publication in her life, in Oxford Econ Papers 1994. This paper is lifted almost entirely from a 1992 report coauthored with consultant not credited in the publication. This is wholesale intellectual theft, not subtle plagiarism.
