What perpetrator of vehicular manslaughter wouldn’t be rehabilitated by spending more time “in nature”?

He considered how colonialization of the Six Nations band had led to a “major disconnection” to Wilson’s culture that, in turn, led him into “over-consumption of alcohol and unhealthy relationships.”

“This crystallized into the tragic events of Feb. 11, 2022,” said Edward.

The judge considered Wilson’s guilty plea and how he has spent his time since the crash in nature, focusing on cultural teachings and traditional practices, according to his mother.

 

A Losing Strategy

Brian Lilley recently interviewed Professor Ian Lee who teaches at the Carlton University about Canada’s prospects for winning the trade war with the United States. In a nutshell, we pretty much lost before the war even began.

We’re we’re tariffing a little tiny tiny percentage 25 28 billion of that 400 billion and that 400 billion is 1.5%. So we are tariffing a subset of a subset of a subset of a very tiny number and we have convinced ourselves that this is going to move the needle of this enormous gargantuan economy and it will not.

Economic Illiteracy

Deliberately choosing to pay more than you need to for inputs doesn’t make your province richer; the reality is quite the opposite. My guess is that the “buy local” gambit is going to be used not only as an excuse to shut out American suppliers but suppliers in other provinces as well. In any case, there’s no way a few sales to the Quebec government can replace the losses from being unable to sell into a market ten times the size of Canada’s.

The Quebec government has announced a series of measures to promote buying locally in response to the escalating trade war between Canada and the United States.

Premier Christine Fréchette says the measures will inject about $1.5 billion into the Quebec economy in the next four months.

 

 

Magical Thinking

Run the same poll three months from now and you’ll probably get a very different result, but for the time being Canadians seem blissfully unaware of the freight train that’s barreling down the tracks towards them. John Q. Voter is either incapable of understanding basic economics or he’s experiencing some sort of psychotic break just now.

This means items that consumers may not regularly see or purchase, but are often required as part of a manufacturing process or supply chain that ultimately could mean higher prices for a wider variety of goods — even if they’re made in Canada.

Three-in-five (60 per cent) of respondents said they are willing to stay the course on Canada’s current negotiating strategy even if it means paying 10 or 20 per cent more for household expenses, including groceries and clothing.

So Doug Ford is going to cut off the energy to the United States?  This is an idiotic statement at anytime, but to says it while you’re losing a battle in U.S. courts to keep Enbridge Line 5 open is beyond comprehension.  The truth is that without oil pipelines from America to Quebec and Ontario those 2 provinces would have frozen decades ago.  But of course the Liberals have their climate change victory over the Canadian pipeline project that tried to supply them with oil for Western Canada, that should keep them warm at night.

It’s time for Doug Ford to shut up; his zingers for sound bites are not helping.  Canada needs a trade deal with the U.S.  Our economy is dependent upon it, always has been. There are 119 crossings along the 5,525 mile border between Canada and the United States, 48 of those crossing are in the 4 Western Provinces. There is only 1 highway connecting Western Canada to Eastern Canada. That speaks volumes as to how our industries and trade work in Canada.  To suggest we can replace U.S. trade – over 70% of our exports – by doubling our trade with other countries over the next decade is embecilic. It’s time to make a deal with the U.S.

Let’s hope Ontarians start electing rational adults.

This morning, on this post, there was this comment from ‘Monica’:

Their hatred of the US is beginning to get scary. I had it out with a neighbor hissing and spitting that Trump is the danger and Canada is strong, moron. When I gave him just the facts he left screaming that American Chicken is disgusting. Okay dude, the liberal voters think we are at war with the US, yea and we’ll win wink-wink.

It was then followed up with this comment from ‘The Phantom’:

“When I gave him just the facts he left screaming”

This is the main event that Covid was the test-run for. I’m shutting up now and watching people. When they’re foaming at the mouth like that I just smile, nod and let them think I’m on their side. Honestly, they don’t deserve more. That guy is the one who squealed to the cops when somebody in his neighborhood had a birthday party.

I learned my lesson in 2020/21. People aren’t who they pretend to be. There’s a lot out there who’d drop a dime on you to the Stazi for nothing. Just so they could feel proud and virtuous. On the whole, I welcome it. I didn’t love finding out that Canada is actually East Germany in drag. But now that I know, it sure is great when the apparatchiks and the informers self-identify. East Germany isn’t as bad when you know who the rats are.

Oh, and no bumper stickers on the car, eh? License plate cameras are forever, and now they have AI to sift through 20 years of pictures.

Prior to Covid, I would have said that what The Phantom wrote was exaggeration. But now, I consider it highly factual.

Directly Related: Is Matt Ross inaccurate in any way about what Chairman Carney is up to? Also, would it be fair to estimate that 90%+ of Elbows Up Canadians would completely deny this is happening?

Fever Pitching

Given what I know about the Canadian political classes, I didn’t expect any of them to call out Blubber Dougie on his renewed advocacy of economic suicide for Canada. But who put duct tape over the mouths of our captains of industry? Any miner that shut off legally contracted mineral exports to the US would be successfully sued in a matter of hours and go bankrupt within days.

“He underestimates Canada. We’re all in,” Ford said. “Up here, we’re at a fever pitch, everyone’s in for an economic war. They know they’re going to have to sacrifice.”

Ford said “everything is on the table” if the dispute worsens, including cutting off electricity and critical minerals from Ontario. He also called for Canada to consider using oil and potash as leverage.

“I’ll cut them off,” Ford said of critical minerals. “You won’t get a grain of sand out of Ontario.”

 

“Instagram Boyfriend” Joke Writing Contest

If Women Ran The World Insufferable Twits Mischief Is Important Not Quite News 25 Comments

A contest you say?! Yes, but one with no official prizes. Just the pride in showing off your funny bone.

This video suggests that Justin Trudeau and Prince Harry have devolved into the role most suited for each of them: Instagram Boyfriend. Here’s an AI slop video showing the two of them with another despicable character, Eileen Gu.

This all got me thinking: there must be a good joke here about these two nitwits and their newfound roles in life. Without sufficient caffeine in my brain while writing this, I came up with nothing. So I asked Grok to help. Here are 3 jokes it came up with about Lil’ Juthin and Dethroned Harry being Instagram Boyfriends:

  1. Justin Trudeau isn’t just Canada’s former PM — he’s also Sophie’s full-time Instagram boyfriend. His real job description? “Must maintain perfect hair while crouching in bushes for the ideal golden-hour shot.”
  2. Prince Harry left the royal family so he could focus on his true calling: being Meghan’s Instagram boyfriend. The monarchy offered him a title; she offered him the chance to hold the phone at exactly 45 degrees.
  3. Trudeau and Harry should start a support group for Instagram boyfriends. Meetings would begin with a solemn pledge: “I solemnly swear to take 47 photos of the same latte until one of them gets more than 10,000 likes.”

I am royally confident that you, dear SDA readers, can come up with something better!

As a Manitoban, sometimes I console myself with the knowledge that at least I don’t live in Quebec. Over there, the party that champions the cause of government inspectors telling you how to spell hamburger is trying to assure Anglophones that there’s really nothing to worry about if you vote for them.

“Underneath that pledge is also the fact the anglos don’t fear the PQ any more since anglos and francos share the same realities and concerns. Public discourse has too often encouraged the mistaken belief that the concerns of French-speaking and English-speaking Quebecers are fundamentally at odds.
