Geoffrey Moyse- British Columbia could disappear under a sea of Aboriginal title

Below is the sixth of several outstanding opinion pieces about indigenous land claim issues in British Columbia that will be posted without a paywall over the next few weeks.

All are written by Geoffrey S. Moyse, K.C., a retired senior lawyer who served as legal counsel to the Province of B.C., advising six successive governments on aboriginal law matters over more than 30 years.

His writings rebut the current NDP provincial government’s indigenous land ownership and use policies.

Sun- Students attending protest told to ‘wear blue’ to mark them as ‘colonizers’

Mona, the cousin of one of students compelled to take part, told the Toronto Sun the Grade 8 student was instructed to wear a blue shirt to identify her as a “colonizer.”

“She was very upset,” Mona said of her cousin, who is Jewish and approached her teacher at the rally to express her discomfort once the anti-Israel chants began.

“The teacher told her, ‘You’ll get over it.’”

If the decline in Fedex’s earnings is not an indication that the marginal consumer is tapped out, I don’t know what is.

…Fedex stock tumbled as much as 11% after hours when it cut the top end of its full-year profit outlook and reported quarterly earnings below expectations on softer demand for package deliveries.

The company said that Q1 results were negatively affected by a mix shift, which reduced demand for priority services, increased demand for deferred services, and constrained yield growth. In addition, higher operating expenses and one fewer operating day negatively affected the quarter’s results.

About harm reduction sites is how they coax drug users off the street and into gas chambers.

Representatives with the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS unveiled Vancouver’s first indoor safe inhalation site in the Downtown Eastside on Wednesday.

Dr. Julio Montaner, the Centre’s director and physician-in-chief, and Dr. Kate Salters, a senior researcher with the Centre, gave a tour of the soon-to-open rooms at the Hope to Health Research and Innovation Centre.

“We needed to do something more directly focused on the needs of this patient population if we’re going to get ahold of the [drug toxicity] epidemic,” Montaner said.

It looks like I picked a good week to start sniffing glue.

The Reification of Net Zero

By the time farms are forced to go net zero, their net income statements will have beat them to that number anyway.

The University of Manitoba is getting $7.6 million in federal funds to study net-zero farming systems.

U of M researcher Martin Entz, best known for his work on organics, is the project lead.

“This is a huge amount of money. It’s certainly the largest grant that I’ve ever been involved in,” he said.

The team is also engaging with industry partners including Keystone Agricultural Producers, the National Farmers Union and Ducks Unlimited Canada to learn about sustainable agriculture initiatives…

Sun- These are Canada’s ‘Hunger Games’

In 2023, while 13.5% of Americans households grappled with food insecurity— characterized by low or very low food security (USDA-ERS, 2024) — the rate in Canada was significantly higher at 22.9% (Proof Toronto, 2024). This suggests that food insecurity in Canada is a staggering 69.6% more prevalent than in the United States — a deeply unsettling statistic.

If you think air fares are already high in Canada’s centrally planned airline market, just wait.

The airline has offered to increase the aviators’ pay by 4% annually over three years, plus an upfront 26% pay boost as well as other benefits, according to a source who asked not to be named to discuss confidential details of the agreement.

The 42% compensation increase over the four-year contract is expected to cost the carrier C$1.9 billion.

According to Mr Andersson, other academic colleagues have hailed his “queer autoethnography” as “wonderfully written, reflective, analytical and intriguing,” and have described it as “very publishable.” Readers will doubtless recall the dizzying rigour of Mr Andersson’s academic work, noted in the post linked above, in which we learned that his feverish wanking gave him “a more embodied understanding of the topic.”

About progressive approaches in treating mental illness and addiction in the community, is the progress.

British Columbia will be opening secure facilities to provide involuntary care under the Mental Health Act for those with severe addictions who are mentally ill and have sustained a brain injury, the premier announced Sunday just days ahead of the start of a provincial election campaign.

David Eby pledged a re-elected NDP would change the law in the next legislative session to “provide clarity and ensure that people, including youth, can and should receive care when they are unable to seek it themselves.”

Eby told a news conference in Vancouver that involuntary help would be aimed at people struggling with overlapping addictions, mental illness, and brain injury concerns who are not able to ask for help for themselves.

The Thing I like Best About Harm Reduction Programs

Is the way they reduce harm.

Police in Kingston, Ont., say they’ve arrested a male suspect after a violent daytime assault left two people dead and one in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Kingston police say they arrested the suspect without further incident just before 5 p.m., after negotiating his surrender for several hours.

Spokesperson Const. Anthony Colangeli says police received reports that the suspect may have been wielding an edged or blunt weapon, possibly both.

Police say officers were called to an encampment around a safe injection site and Integrated Care Hub around 10:40 a.m. after a report of a serious assault.

Robert Malone- iPhone Mental Health Assessments

Bottom line- no data is 100% secure, and this is mental health data. Data that might be extremely embarrassing, career-damaging, or has the potential to disrupt family relationships. Remember, no one knows what new laws, regulations, or mores might come to pass years from now. This type of information should not be harvested and stored.

Furthermore, trusting that iPhone will never sell that data or pass it off to research groups is very naive. In fact, mental health data is already being mined.

I Will Not Eat Crickets – A book review by Rick McGinnis.

There are many recent books that share the same targets as Díaz without his satirical tone, but you have to understand up front that his target—globalism—has had a sea change in its definition and its opponents in the last generation. Back when free trade was an article of conservative political faith, the globalist worldview was embraced by people who wanted to lower costs, broaden supply chains, and – as they sold it in a best-case scenario – export economic prosperity from first to third worlds as they offshored labour.

Like most ideal scenarios, it didn’t quite work out as planned.

Racial Profiles

After the end of South Africa’s policy of Apartheid, one would have thought that laws sorting people by race would be a thing of the past, right? Well, think again. As the Institute for Race Relations points out, from 1910 to the present 314 racial acts have been passed by their parliament. However, 117 of those acts have been adopted since 1994, and 141 racial acts are operative today.

Almost immediately [after 1994], however, the government began (re)enacting race law and pursuing racial policy. The two most notable instances of this are the 1998 Employment Equity Act and the 2003 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act. Various other pieces of legislation exist among dozens of charters, plans, regulations, directives, notices, and policies that attempt to regulate aspects of society along racial lines and racialise commerce.

If the Green Party ever gets ahold of the levers of government, western civilization will be done like dinner.

“We must stop the spread of anti-human and anti-constitutional content on the internet,” demanded Hofreiter, who serves as the chairman of the European Affairs Committee in the Bundestag. Violations of applicable law must be punished consistently. With regard to social networks, this means that they “will be blocked if necessary,” said the Green politician. This would also include the X platform owned by Elon Musk, which the left views as an imminent threat due to its emphasis on free speech, according to Frankfurter Rundschau.

Average Nonsense

Insufferable Twits nannystate Surveillance State 12 Comments

Economist Frank Shostak delves into the perplexing issue of governments attempting to discern an “average” price level for the economy or calculating GDP “growth”. In a nutshell, the whole idea is nuts.

Suppose two transactions were conducted: In the first transaction, one TV set is exchanged for $1,000; in the second transaction, one shirt is exchanged for $40. The price or in the first transaction is $1000/1 TV set. The price in the second transaction is $40/1 shirt. In order to calculate the “average price,” we must add these two ratios together and divide them by two. But $1000/1 TV set cannot be added to $40/1 shirt, implying that it is not possible to establish the “average price.”

The employment of various sophisticated methods to calculate the “average price” cannot bypass the essential issue that it is not possible to establish an average price of various goods and services. Accordingly, various price indices that government statisticians compute are simply arbitrary numbers. If price deflators are meaningless, so is the real GDP statistic.

Blacklock’s- MPs Probe VIA Service Again

Passengers aboard VIA Rail Train 622 on a Labour Day weekend trip from Montréal to Québec City were stranded within sight of the Trans-Canada Highway near Drummondville, Que. due to engine trouble. Travelers were told to stay put for hours without food or washroom facilities as a stench akin to burning rubber filled the cars.

Parliament created VIA Rail in 1978 as a passenger service formerly run by Canadian National Railway, then a Crown corporation. Operating losses in recent years totaled $415.7 million in 2020, $370.5 million in 2021, $354.3 million in 2022 and $381.8 million in 2023.

But she should be.

Calgary is dumping over $500 million into electric buses.

There was supposed to be a pilot program starting in 2022 with a handful of community shuttles. The purchase was done, but they still haven’t been delivered.

Meanwhile, the city said to hell with the pilot and committed to blowing half a billion on this. They felt that they didn’t need a pilot program because it worked so well in Edmonton. This was shortly before Edmonton’s electric bus fleet fell apart.

This is the next big boondoggle folks.
