Lets just call it… SNAFU.
Trust The Evidence- Adapt to the Frenzy: the ‘Quad-demic’
The Guardian reports the number of hospitals ‘with flu’ in England has more than quadrupled compared with last year.’ We’re told that the UKHSA is currently monitoring the activity levels of four illnesses that all peak throughout winter: Flu, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus and norovirus.
Spectator- The column you don’t want to read
Yet the biggest public health debacle in world history has been subject to a wilful public amnesia, as if it never happened. Surely you’ve noticed yourselves that the subject never arises in conversation, when so recently the C-word was all we could talk about. By ‘debacle’ I meant, of course, not the spread of the virus itself, but the spread of unprecedented, anti-democratic political overreach; of irrational, superstitious micromanagement of the disgusting, infectious proles; and of the high-handed, wholesale cancellation of civil rights.
No. No, you didn’t.
Blacklock’s- GST Benefit Worth Under $5
Cabinet’s GST holiday will save the typical Canadian $4.51, the Senate national finance committee was told yesterday.
“When it comes to retail, the average consumer will save approximately $4.51 over that two-month period per Canadian,” said Charlebois. “That is based on sales volumes.”
Nothing says abject failure like the imposition of draconian penalties in order to keep doctors from leaving socialized medicine.
Dubé tabled legislation, Bill 83, in the National Assembly on Tuesday that would require students who studied medicine in a Quebec university to devote the first years of their professional lives, as general practitioners or specialists, to working in public institutions…
A doctor refusing to follow the rules would face fines of between $20,000 and $100,000 a day and per insured act.
National Post- Trudeau’s unbelievably complicated tax holiday
Pokemon cards will be tax-free, hockey cards will not
Blacklock’s- Tax On, Tax Off ‘Really Hard’
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland last night said it was “really hard to decide” what to tax or not under a GST holiday bill.
Great Replacement: Muhammad is UK’s most popular boys’ baby name for first time
For decades the NDP have tried to distance themselves from the Waffle Manifesto, The Regina Manifesto, and of course Tommy Douglas’s thesis, The Problems of the Subnormal Family. But it appears they have been reborn in the Trudeau government.
The decline of France continues unabated.
It seems unlikely that France will have a 2025 budget…A provisional budget, likely mirroring the 2024 budget, will probably be implemented….The public deficit is expected to exceed 6% of GDP in 2024. The Barnier government had hoped to reduce it to 5% by 2025, but without a budget voted for in 2025, this target will not be met. The provisional budget will be slightly restrictive, as tax scales will not be adjusted for inflation, but will not contain any real savings measures.
The 10y yield spread of French government bonds over their German peers widened to 88bp on Monday.
Toronto [Pre-Construction] Condos became wildly miss priced 6 years ago
And no one cared
People just kept on buying with a ridiculously false belief rents would increase massively & mortgage rates would be 2.49% forever
Buyers would snap up Pre-Con Condos at $1250 per sqft when Re-Sale Condos across the street were offered at $825 per sqft
WTF? It made no sense
It did not. And now the sense is remaking.
Will the camel’s back finally break in 2025?
Ten thousand illegals showing up at our borders “would throw our system completely off kilter,” he warns. CBSA is still dealing with the aftermath of 492 Sri Lankan Tamils arriving in British Columbia on a Thai cargo ship in 2010…
And while Immigration Minister Marc Miller cautions “not everyone is welcome here” — and promises he’ll enforce the rules — it’s difficult to paint over Canada’s well-established reputation as a country that rolls out the red carpet to asylum seekers. Each year, thousands of migrants enter Canada, without authorization, between official ports of entry.
Sun- Government job-growth rate in Canada outstripping private sector

Sun- Except for homicides, report finds Canadian crime rates higher than U.S.
“The idea that Canada is a much safer society than the United States is not supported by the data as rates of property and violent crime in Canada are now higher than south of the border,” Di Matteo concludes in the first chapter of his upcoming study, Comparing Recent Crime Trends in Canada and the United States: An Introduction.

More evidence that the marginal consumer is tapped out. Combine that with ruinously expensive EV mandates and you’ve got a perfect storm that can take down a longstanding auto manufacturer.
A new report suggests that the automaker’s days are numbered. In an interview with the Financial Times, two unnamed Nissan executives said the company has “12 to 14 months to survive.” “This is going to be tough. And in the end, we need Japan and the US to be generating cash,” they said.
Slow sales in the US and Japan prompted Nissan to cut more than 9,000 jobs earlier this month, while simultaneously slashing production by nearly 20 percent. Nissan’s operating profit dropped 85 percent in the third quarter, with the company earning a net loss of ¥9.3 billion ($60.1 million at today’s exchange rate).
