Apparently the PMO is trying to protect Dear Leader from Canadians. His itinerary is now only posted when he is at the location. Only invited admirers and his loyal media are allowed on site. Today he continues his photo ops in B.C. along with his cabinet ministers. The media reports that he may be burning jet fuel from the West Coast to the East Coast tomorrow.

Members of the Canadian aviation industry say growing backlogs at Transport Canada are making it more difficult for new and existing pilots to get their licences, and the federal government has failed to address the issue.
“They’ve completely dropped the ball,” said Dario Matrundola, president of Canadian Flyers Aviation College — a flight school based at Buttonville Airport northeast of Toronto.
“They don’t answer the phone, they don’t call you back, and you’re lucky if they answer emails.”
Transport Canada’s civil aviation department is struggling to issue the paperwork necessary to fly, effectively grounding an unknown number of Canadian and foreign pilots who train here. Of particular concern are unacceptable delays with Transport Canada’s issuance of medical certificates.
While applicants normally receive their certificates between 30 and 40 days after submitting their paperwork, some of Matrundola’s students have been left waiting more than a year.
“They’re still working, we’re still working — its just Transport Canada and actual government employees who aren’t doing anything,” he said.
Russia’s Gazprom tells European buyers gas supply halt beyond its control
Russia’s Gazprom has told customers in Europe it cannot guarantee gas supplies because of “extraordinary” circumstances, according to a letter seen by Reuters, upping the ante in an economic tit-for-tat with the West over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian state gas monopoly said in a letter dated July 14 that it was retroactively declaring force majeure on supplies from June 14. The news comes as Nord Stream 1, the key pipeline delivering Russian gas to Germany and beyond, is undergoing 10 days of annual maintenance scheduled to conclude on Thursday.
The letter added to fears in Europe that Moscow may not restart the pipeline at the end of the maintenance period in retaliation for sanctions imposed on Russia over the war in Ukraine, heightening an energy crisis that risks tipping the region into recession.
Via Richard Fernandez – “The kindest thing you can say is that the Greens believed their own miscalculation, and in a well meaning way, accidentally made possible war in Europe”.

Crouch is quadruple vaccinated, has not tested positive for COVID-19 and is showing no symptoms. The border guard who waved him back into Canada last week said nothing about getting a COVID test, or quarantine, but when he got home he found an email and a notification in his ArriveCan app, telling him to stay home for two weeks.
“It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when Minister Mendicino says ArriveCan will reduce border delays. But it will not be due to technology, it will be due to reduced volume.”

The group said TiO2 particles posed concern for genotoxicity, meaning a substance that has the ability to damage a person’s DNA and may cause cancer. The EFSA said that after the ingredient is taken by mouth, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles was low but could accumulate in the body.
There’s absolutely nothing else in the last few years that someone might put in their body that could alter their DNA.
Patrick Bet David is a very bright & serious man. He’s also extremely successful. He isn’t particularly political and thinks that people should vote for whichever policies make the most sense to them. Then let the chips fall where they may. Rather than be black-pilled by the current state of insanity in the world, he encourages everyone to look at the data and make decisions that will lead to success. If you think that’s impossible, then this video isn’t for you. I found it exceptionally compelling and instructive.
That’s what it’s supposed to do.
