The canary is dead….

There’s a notion that if you want to gauge the future of the economy, just look at default rates for auto loans. When times are good, autos are one item that people typically load up on. As the video points out, the pandemic “stimulus” packages had a whole lot to do with stoking unusually brisk demand for autos that people happily overpaid for. Now they are handing those autos back to the creditors in alarming numbers.

 

Lieberals Against Dutch Farmers

Today in Ontario, the Deplorables with Unacceptable Views are Showing Their Support for Dutch Farmers:

Without a doubt, they will encounter some along their way who will hate their presence. It would be a thing of beauty to ask such folks, with absolute sincerity, what they have against Dutch family farmers, who have been growing food for their countrymen and the world for hundreds of years. Besides the usual extended silence of low IQ leftards, what other responses do you think might come out of their pie-holes?

Defeat of the narrative

Gee, I wonder if there was a scientist out there who had predicted exactly how and why Covid is behaving in such an out of the ordinary manner as we see today? Could his name be Geert Vanden Bossche?

Two and a half years in, the world is discovering SARS-CoV-2 isn’t behaving with neat, predictable, winter-bound waves like the flu, but with multiple rollers that are coming faster, each new wave starting before the last one hasn’t quite finished with us. Instead of a lull period, peaks are occurring within months of each other.

 

It’s Saturday On Turtle Island

Woke Britain:  Woke warriors hate everything.  Record crime in Britain.

Today in Islam:  Richard The Lionhearted.

Biden’s America:  Old Joe hates Britain.  The show trial trudges on.  Democrats look forward to season two of the Jan. 6 saga.  The worst president in living memory.  Your morning meme.

Woke New Zealand:  Jacinda’s lockdowns causing deaths.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Climate Justin trashes the Conservatives.  And Rex Murphy writes about the NDP leader.

Let Them Eat Crow

A win for the good guys.

Today’s unanimous ruling by Alberta’s Court of Appeal is a total legal, moral and constitutional victory for Pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother David.

In short, Alberta’s top judges ruled that:

~ the court order that was used to arrest and jail Pastor Artur was flawed and therefore illegal;

~ all of the punishments that flowed from that — such as being fined and jailed — were without basis. Pastor Artur’s fines will be returned to him

~ the additional bizarre, authoritarian penalties — banning him from going on speaking tours; requiring him to read a statement denouncing himself any time he criticized the government — were revoked, and deemed unconstitutional.

Finally. The ruling is here.

Cardiometabolic outcomes up to 12 months after COVID-19 infection.

Published July 19, 2022: Findings from a cohort study from 2020 to 2021 in the UK.

➢ Acute COVID-19 is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disorders, but risk generally returns to background levels soon after the infection.
➢ The risk of new DM [diabetes mellitus] remains increased for at least 12 weeks following COVID-19 before declining.
➢ Patients recovering from COVID-19 should be advised to consider measures to reduce diabetes risk including healthy diet and taking exercise.
➢ People without preexisting CVD or DM who suffer from COVID-19 do not appear to have a long-term increase in incidence of these conditions.
