Bumped for deadbeat.

Head of Farm Credit Canada had corporate Visa card suspended as “delinquent.” Justine Hendricks, Crown bank’s $458,000/year CEO, ran up $1,885 in late fees & interest.

“I am curious to know why the statement is not being paid.”

DEI Approved;

Pipeline to Nowhere: Construction of new oil pipeline to B.C. coast won’t include lifting oil tanker ban

Describing it as “a big day for Canada” and “a big day for British Columbia,” B.C. Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday announced the signing of a multibillion dollar memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two governments that could help pave the way for construction of a new oil pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast.

“This agreement doesn’t require us to support any pipeline proposal from Alberta,” said Eby, who, along with First Nations, has been adamantly opposed to lifting the federal ban on oil tanker traffic along B.C.’s north coast.[…]

The MOU also includes a commitment by Ottawa to engage in “early consistent and meaningful consultations with First Nations,” along with “an economic and revenue framework for British Columbia” that will include an annual royalty payment to British Columbia by the pipeline operator and “an environmental liability and emergency response fund held in trust accessible by B.C. and First Nations.”

I’m sure Zinchuk will have more in due course.

The Extremist Boogeyman

If you follow the mainstream media, ever notice how conservatives seem to be the only group that is ever criticized for being “divisive”? Margaret Thatcher had a great label for politicians like Amelia Boultbee: wets.

She said in a social media post that Findlay’s election had left a void in the political landscape for those who are looking for an alternative to “NDP incompetence.”

“I feel strongly that British Columbian is best served, when it is represented by a government that values broad perspectives and stays away from polarizing extremes,” the post said. “I believe that the majority of British Columbians feel the same.”

 

Fake It, So You Can Make It

An ever growing number of Canadians are unable to tell the difference between someone who is actually competent and a run of the mill conman.

Western Standard- The death of merit and how Canada lost its compass.

The decline of merit is the story of modern Canada. It began as a slow corrosion under Justin Trudeau, whose rise was fuelled by name recognition and emotional politics rather than achievement. It deepened under Chrystia Freeland, who turned fiscal management into performance art. And it has continued under Mark Carney, whose credentials might suggest competence but whose actions have proven the opposite. These are not isolated examples; they are milestones on a national journey away from merit and toward mediocrity.

He’s Starting To Smell A Lot Like Trudeau

‘Tis the season.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has topped the Canadian Taxpayer Federation’s annual Naughty List, which ranks the country’s worst “grifting politicians.”

Ford earned the top spot for ensuring Ontario’s political welfare remained permanent by reinstating taxpayer-funded pensions for provincial politicians. This year also saw Ontario politicians giving themselves a 35 per cent pay raise.

“Ford took a pay raise that would make even Ebenezer Scrooge blush: A $73,000 hike in one year. But Ford isn’t the only one with coal in his stocking,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director…

Just Another Ten Chances

Readers will note the sly conceit that what matters, all that matters, is the sum being stolen this time, not the whole at knifepoint or gunpoint business – as if this lively means of cash extraction were some trivial detail, beneath acknowledgment. A thing with no informational content, no clues as to the character of the perpetrator, their fitness for a civilised world.

Those pointing to the smallness of the sum as if it were a significant mitigating factor don’t seem troubled by the implication that someone who will violate others, and threaten them with death, for a mere $20 is someone who will use very small incentives to behave in monstrous ways. Likewise, the implication that robbing people with only $20 to surrender is a matter of no import.

On three-strikes laws and the contortions of progressive critics.

Public Art

A process through which rich people get taxpayers to … er, install vinyl on back alley doorways for the junkies.

The City of Saskatoon spent $8,202 to paint art on doors in a downtown back-alley in 2024, according to documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“It’s absurd the city has kept on wasting taxpayer money on these ridiculous back-alley decorations,” said Gage Haubrich, CTF Prairie Director. “Why does city hall insist on spending money prettying-up this alley? Are the resident rats and alley cats demanding it? If local businesses want artistic back doors, they should buy a pail of paint instead of filling out a grant application.”

The project called “Alley Gallery 2024” was paid for by city taxpayers and the downtown business improvement district. The city also contributed $4,500 for a similar project called “Door Décor” with the Broadway business improvement district in 2025.

The downtown business improvement district is currently asking the city for $15,000 to paint art on doors in a different back-alley, according to the documents.

The city previously wasted nearly $100,000 of taxpayers’ money putting up colour-changing light balls in a back alley in 2023.

The City of Saskatoon is currently forecasting a 7.43 per cent property tax hike for 2026 and a 5.92 per cent hike in 2027.

Taxpayers Federation has the receipts.
