Or, The Difficulties of Satisfying Progressive Women:

It occurs to me that there’s something a little dissonant about the framing of affection and basic consideration – say, remembering your partner’s birthday – as “unpaid.” As “emotional labour.” As if being in a relationship or having any concern for those you supposedly care about were some onerous, crushing chore. As if you should be applauded – and financially compensated – for the thirty-second task of adding a birthday to the calendar on your phone.

The attitude implied by the above would, I think, explain many failures on the progressive partner-finding front and the consequent “stepping away from dating altogether.” Though possibly not in ways the author intended.

As if the concept of wanting to care, to help, to remember those birthdays, were somehow alien or offensive.

About harm reduction is the way Street Outreach programs identify addiction-impacted persons in crisis and redirects them away from chemical self-actualization.

Oh well. Cheaper than MAID, I suppose. (Is it cheaper than MAID?)

National Post- The push to have Canadians hear a ‘slavery’ acknowledgement at public events

After a standard land acknowledgement mentioning the various First Nations whose traditional territories overlap with the City of Toronto, attendees were also asked to acknowledge “those who were brought here involuntarily; particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery.”

I assume that if an Arctic hydro dam was a viable proposition, someone else would have already done it. But cost is apparently no object. In order to expedite that, a bitumen pipeline is going to get dropped from the list. What’s notably missing from the list as well is any mention of funding to complete a four lane highway across the country, which would finally put us on par with most semi-industrialized nations.

The Crawford nickel project in northeastern Ontario is also expected to be on the list, as well as Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc.’s mine and battery-materials plant project in Quebec, an Iqaluit hydro project and a major electricity transmission line in northern B.C., according to reports from CBC News and Bloomberg News.

 

The Excuse Factory

It’s hard to imagine that anyone with a shred of moral conscience could face themselves day after day after delivering a judgement which brazenly excuses such psychopathic behavior.

Mr. Garlow is the personification of intergenerational trauma. I cannot imagine more sympathetic circumstances or mitigating factors that cry out for some compassion. Punishing him with a further period of incarceration for the sake of the common good would be unjust,” wrote Justice Brenda Green, who recently handed Garlow a suspended sentence and three years of probation.

The judge saw a “clear, causal nexus between his father’s brutalization in residential schools and the trail of damage and devastation that slammed like a wrecking ball through the next generation. I cannot imagine a case with a more shocking example of the detrimental impact of colonialism, intergenerational trauma and the attempted cultural genocide by seizing children from their communities only to be placed in horribly abusive environments.”

Dr. Byram W. Bridle- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Bloodlust for Ostriches: Part 2

The most hypocritical aspect of this is that the people responsible for the deaths of hundreds of valuable, healthy ostriches that were almost certainly virus-free (prove me wrong with data), likely let their own kids play on beaches and parks that are routinely populated by ducks, geese, and seagulls, and stipple-painted with the feces of these birds that serve as natural reservoirs for the virus.

On allyship, so-called, and assuming the position:

The word ally is typically used, by the people who rush to use it, to mean something like advocate, or mouthpiece, or supplicant, or puppet. There’s no discernible interest in, or expectation of, reciprocation; no obvious shared goal or mutual benefit. Indeed, the role, once assumed, appears to entail saying dumb and vividly untrue things, thereby becoming unreliable and absurd.

Say, by insisting that odd, cross-dressing men are somehow, magically, women. Or that a reluctance to mouth fabulist pronouns, to affirm a person’s imaginary themness, is some life-threatening moral oversight.

And then there are the not infrequent detours into outright struggle sessions – as seen, for instance, here, where a disobedient woman finds herself being scolded by a man in an unconvincing wig for not doing the “work” expected of an ally – essentially cowed deference and dishonesty on demand. This, then, is a world in which allyship – “listening to the community” – requires prostration, a suspension of cognitive faculties, and a surrendering of basic probity.

There’s more.

Tony Blair’s Britain

Freespeechers More Pavilions At Folkfest Surveillance State 4 Comments

Recommended by a reader, via email; I have said to all and sundry for the last 20+ years that history will eventually finger Blair for the destruction of Britain a feat he accomplished without a foreign military just a subversive army of fabian professionals.

England is under attack, from all sides, and within

On the election of Tony Blair in 1997, what remained of our constitution was pasted over by a nu-constitution; a series of key acts and treaties ranging from The HRA, Constitutional Reform Act (2005) to the signing of the Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon Treaties with the EU. The Blairite constitution accepted all aspects of the post-war consensus, from its Never Again-isms to the necessity of closer union with Europe – it attempted to give legal permanence to every millennial assumption about a globalised world, at the zenith of the globalist moment. To do so, it impliedly repealed many of our key constitutional documents and weakened Parliament’s influence, shifting responsibility away from it, in three directions. The nu-constitution essentially castrated our sole lawmaking body – balls, shaft and head – a procedure which nobody has dared to reverse.

The Telegraph- The failing system that lets killers slip through the cracks

There is no Prevent for people whose mental state or substance abuse might make them a risk to themselves and to others. Instead, there is a mental healthcare system bursting at the seams, and a police force attempting to extricate itself from the long-held expectation that its officers should spend their time operating as mental health first responders.

Beijing’s one-party rule, enforced through “social stability maintenance” and mass data collection, is now being grafted onto global systems of communication, finance, and infrastructure. “What the CCP is doing will not stay confined within the PRC’s borders,” the report warns. “Its authoritarian practices are spreading outward, shaping a world increasingly hostile to America’s values and strategic interests.”

Blacklock’s- Anti-Labour Orders ‘Poison’

“We have been alarmed at the growing readiness of the federal government to intervene in labour relations, to terminate collective bargaining, to end legal strikes and to even outlaw legal strikes before they begin,” said Bea Bruske, president of the Canadian Labour Congress. “Ottawa’s readiness to intervene poisons collective bargaining. It encourages employers to expect and rely on government intervention.”
