“…the American left has lost its mind. It’s become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts… ” says Matt Taibbi, a staunch liberal, of Rolling Stone magazine – a hotbed of the left. Even those within the left’s tent are starting to realize the damage their “shaming, threats and intimidation” are leading to. And that explains, among other things, the disastrous energy narrative we are drowning in. Read on…

Assorted oddments for the weekend, including a snack treat of note; ping and pong in rapid succession; more joys of public transport; some textbook leftist projection; and a chance to possess your very own second-hand liposuction machine.

All this and more.

Trudeau sold our nation’s soul in the attempt to win this seat, which I detail here, but he not only lost, he got six fewer votes than Harper and Canada was bounced on the first ballot instead of the third.

A letter sent to all member countries showcased Canada’s support for UNRWA.

It is beyond bizarre that Blanchard would proudly state that Canada stood by UNRWA while the agency was under investigation.

While former commissioner Pierre Krähenbühl was found not to have committed the fraud he was accused of, a 2019 UN investigation found that he and other top managers, “have engaged in sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority.”

The vote is Wednesday. More here.

And it must be June.

“Just as the federal government spent trillions building the US interstate system, we have also spent trillions establishing a quasi-national political religion of socialism, feminism, pacifism, environmentalism, social justice, organic/free trade, etc. And just as corporations take advantage of the US interstate system to transport and sell their goods, they are also taking advantage of that political infrastructure the Millennials have been programmed with. And so instead of selling you on the merits of a product like its price or its quality, Corporate America instead panders to the identity politics/religion you’ve been programmed to have because it gives you false value.“

TracyTongTV – Shocking video of shooting at memorial for murdered rapper Houdini. Sources say about 60 shell casings found from at least 7 guns. Dozens of shots fired towards passing cars on Hwy 401.

Assorted oddments for the weekend, including an alternative to fly spray; how to trap a python; a pipeline jam; an unconvincing explanation; and when you want to remake Alien, but you don’t have a lot of money.

All this and more.

Rebel Yell: Protester Badly Hurt When Toppled Confederate Statue Lands on His Head

So now we are being asked to rename places named for people most could’t pick out of a line-up. Toronto is so woke but this will spread far and wide.

In the pages of Vice, a woke-ling enthuses about looting and arson, opposition to which is, obviously, racist.

Right from the off we’re informed, firmly, that any perceptible reservations about looting and rioting, or reservations about the Black Lives Matter movement – say, regarding its demented far-left agenda, its racial tribalism, and the stated goal of abolishing capitalism, prisons and the police – must be taken as an indicator of being “kinda (or definitely) racist.” Wokeness is not, I think, a recipe for cognitive subtlety.

 

“Some people,” we’re told, “appear to be far more worried about the fate of a Nordstrom or Target store than that of the actual human lives of protesters.” Again, one might deduce that only those protesting with, shall we say, physical enthusiasm have “actual human lives,” unlike their victims, whose hopes and livelihoods can be gleefully destroyed as an act of righteous liberation. From local amenities.

Oh, there’s more. Lots of it.

Pleasing your enemies…

…does not turn them into friends.

Nice little mob you’ve built there, Democrats. Shame if anything happened to you.

March 17th: UK Labour MP Barry Gardiner repeatedly insists that “the most vulnerable in our society [must be] protected”

June 3rd: UK Labour MP Barry Gardiner breaks social distancing rules to protest the death of a man 6,462 km away … a man he had never heard of prior to May 25th. How many lives did Gardiner endanger? How much regard did he have for not putting extra strain on the NHS? How many REAL calls for his immediate resignation have been issued?

This Twitter thread is priceless. And it turns out that Gardiner had written a scathing letter to his constituents about Dominic Cummings seeking childcare for his autistic son. But that letter has now been scrubbed from his website.

#Hypocrisy #LeftistPriorities #HorrificHumanBeings

Last year I had the great honour to stand on the shores of Juno Beach in the Normandy region of France for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. Much has happened in our world since that tranquil day.

A youth band from Burlington, Ontario

“Somehow humans figured out how to keep 7 billion people alive at the same time with a Rube Goldberg machine that would have taken me forever to build. And trust me I know about forever…respect that big system that works so well, it feeds almost everyone and keeps them warm and entertained and educated.” Read on…
