Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

We sure do make a lot of fentanyl for a country that has no major exports.

The RCMP’s Ontario Federal Policing unit announced Friday that search warrants executed on September 7 in Schomberg, northwest of Toronto, resulted in the seizure of nearly $10 million in suspected controlled substances, along with prohibited weapons, chemical precursors, and a range of illegal production equipment.

In addition to cash, drugs, and chemicals, officers discovered a pill press, firearms, handwritten drug “recipes,” flasks, chemical glassware, and other lab components. Approximately 20,000 litres of hazardous waste were also removed from the site.

“Sexist” Has Officially Jumped the Shark

MSNBC’s Mike Brzezinski insists that the Democrat candidate, Abigail Spanberger, is facing an uphill battle because she’s a woman:

One problem: Spanberger’s opponent is an amazing woman named Winsome Earle-Sears.

Buck Sexton and Clay Travis have thoughts about this.

Quantum Shift?

If Kamala Harris were proposing that the federal government take ownership stakes in private companies, I can hazard a guess that Republicans would loudly oppose it. What’s going on with a party that has traditionally opposed government ownership of the means of production?

The Trump administration is in talks with the likes of Rigetti Computing (RGTI), IonQ (IONQ) and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) to take equity stakes in them in exchange for federal funding, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

And they’re fighting to keep it that way.

CBC/Radio-Canada has filed an application in Federal Court to fight an order directing it to disclose subscriber numbers for its Gem streaming service.

The information commissioner ordered CBC to make available the number of paid subscribers to Gem following an access-to-information request for the data.

CBC/Radio-Canada president Marie-Philippe Bouchard told The Canadian Press the subscriber numbers are sensitive commercial information.

SNAFU

Peter Menzies- Masterfully manipulated media willingly succumb to the PMO’s seduction

The Prime Minister departed the country unaccompanied by even a single representative of the nation’s press. Upon his return, neither Carney nor any “officials” held a news conference to explain what took place. Instead, targeted media got fed what could be (I’ll use the polite term) pure fantasy. Two of Canada’s leading news organizations, apparently confusing themselves with stenographers, then – and without noting any attempts whatsoever at verification – dutifully passed it all along to their readers on …. faith.

Elbows Down!

For anyone who thinks that natural gas exports are going to magically replace job losses in the Canadian auto sector, think again.

Just five vessels sailed from the terminal in Kitimat, B.C. during the month of September, LNG Canada confirmed last week. It was short of the seven that had been expected, RBC Capital Markets said in note which pointed to a slower ramp-up of production at the Shell plc-led project since operations began in July.

Roughly 15 tankers per month will be required once the facility reaches full capacity, RBC noted.

Paleolithic Reality

The common narrative is that the indigenous tribes living in a particular area prior to European settlement were always living there. But that’s not really true, is it?

“Very convenient to cloak your claims in spiritualism. …No matter what your legends say, you didn’t sprout from the plains like the spring grasses and you didn’t coalesce out of the ether. You came out of the Minnesota Woodlands armed to the teeth and set upon your fellow man. You massacred the Kiowa, the Omaha , the Ponca, the Otoe, and the Pawnee without mercy …and yet you claim the Black Hills is a private preserve bequeathed to you by the great spirit. … You conquered those tribes, lusting for their game and their lands, just as we have now conquered you for no less noble a call.”

You Won’t Even Notice

Peter Menzies- “The soft, silent takeover of the nation’s press” rolls on relentlessly

It will be a process – a series of nips and tucks to legislation and fund regulations that will continually tighten the bureaucratic grip on the throats of the nation’s once free press. Unless you follow the Canada Gazette or subscribe to The Rewrite, you’ll probably never hear about it. But trust that what Rudyard Griffiths, publisher of The Hub, calls “the soft, silent takeover of the nation’s press” is underway.
