The Children Are Our Future

The children — and their insufferably weak wanna-be ruling class parents.

The parents in the backyard say that for every one of them, there are many more, too afraid to speak up. “I’ve talked to at least five couples who say: I get it. I think the way you do. I just don’t want the controversy right now,” related one mother. They are all eager for their story to be told—but not a single one would let me use their name. They worry about losing their jobs or hurting their children if their opposition to this ideology were known.
 
“The school can ask you to leave for any reason,” said one mother at Brentwood, another Los Angeles prep school. “Then you’ll be blacklisted from all the private schools and you’ll be known as a racist, which is worse than being called a murderer.”
 
One private school parent, born in a Communist nation, tells me: “I came to this country escaping the very same fear of retaliation that now my own child feels.” Another joked: “We need to feed our families. Oh, and pay $50,000 a year to have our children get indoctrinated.” A teacher in New York City put it most concisely: “To speak against this is to put all of your moral capital at risk.” […]
 
The atmosphere is making their children anxious, paranoid, and insecure—and closed off from even their close friends. “My son knew I was talking to you and he begged me not to,” another Harvard-Westlake mother told me. “He wants to go to a great university, and he told me that one bad statement from me will ruin us. This is the United States of America. Are you freaking kidding me?”

Zombie Apocalypse

“Europe has been laid low by a heady brew of bureaucracy, over-regulation, over-taxation and debt. A crisis of political leadership has in turn produced a deficiency of bold, innovative ideas, a shortage of vision and a huge expansion of government intervention.”

The result is a proliferation of what have come to be known as zombie companies.

“The Bank for International Settlement’s defines a zombie as “any firm which is at least 10 years old, publicly traded and has interest expenses that exceed the company’s earnings before interest and taxes”.

“These companies are in a kind of limbo – neither productive, nor seeking to enter formal insolvency proceedings. The zombies are plagued by large amounts of debt, low levels of profitability, negative margins and no capital for growth, meaning they effectively produce nothing. They survive because they get some sort of cash, often from the government, which enables them to pay the interest on their debt. Creditors allow them to continue existing for as long as they continue to pay interest.”

Like the European monetary authorities, the Bank of Canada is now scooping up around half of current bond issues in an effort to prevent interest rates from soaring like a homesick angel. One does not have to think too long to come up with a list of Canadian companies which might fit the definition of zombies, and this must necessarily include any number of crown corporations and provincially run utilities.

Is it mere coincidence that Manitoba Hydro recently issued 100 year, interest-only bonds? I think not.

How the Grinch Stole Western Civilization

We warned it would come to this.

SIX Dr Seuss books will stop being published after Joe Biden canceled the author over claims of “racist and hurtful” imagery.
 
The president skipped a tradition and did not mention Dr Seuss in his Read Across America Day proclamation after the racism claims.[…]
 
Following the racism claims, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy confirmed on Tuesday that production of the books will be seized.
 
“And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!” and “The Cat’s Quizzer” are being pulled from production.
 
“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday.
 
“Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families,” it said.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Just one week after Texas: Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant renewal looks to green future

“So we’re looking at using renewable energy, specifically solar at this point in time. We’re looking at putting in 2 to 2.5 megawatts of solar power,” explained Johnson.
 
He said that can be scaled up in the future with more solar, wind or geothermal power.

If you wonder if this is just naive incompetence, this is the same Regina City Council that attempted to ban oil and gas advertising.

They Went From “Flatten The Curve” To “Put Your Hands Behind Your Back” So Fast We Didn’t Even Notice

HERE THERE BE TASERS: Premier Francois Legault announced a “shock therapy” of several new lockdown measures on Wednesday afternoon.

Your official government watchdogs welcome the “heavy police presence”.

Selley: Because governments can’t get their act together and some critical mass of citizens can’t or won’t take the precautions necessary not to spread and catch the virus, you can’t go for a healthy walk after 8 p.m. in Canada’s second-most-populous province unless you have a dog.

War On Everything

Make no mistake: this plan for us — not them.

The UN is explicit: “COVID-19 has provided insight into how rapid lifestyle changes can be brought about by governments … The lockdown period in many countries may be long enough to establish new, lasting routines if supported by longer term measures. In planning the recovery from COVID-19, governments have an opportunity to catalyse low-carbon lifestyle changes by disrupting entrenched practices.”
 
Governments can achieve these goals, the UN says, through taxation and other policies affecting fundamental decisions we make about our lives, from what we eat (preferably meatless, low-carbon diets), to how we travel (less by air, more by subsidized electric cars), to how we power our homes (with wind and solar energy, at least for “higher income” earners, given the costs) and much, much more.
 
That’s what Trudeau means by “The Great Reset.”
