Irish Farm Journal- Dutch government moves to ‘buy out’ farmers
Farmers in the Netherlands will be asked to sell up, relocate or change enterprises in the Dutch Government’s bid to meet its climate goals. Barry Murphy reports.

It’s not mentioned in the article but Poland has a lot of coal. Coal that the Europeans have been shunning for years in favour of Russian gas and their green utopia.
Financial Times- Polish PM: The green transition cannot come at the cost of European security
We wanted low-cost raw materials, freedom from dictatorship, clean energy and socially inclusive economic growth. But after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have instead increasingly expensive raw materials, dependence on a criminal regime for them, instability and rising energy poverty. Inflation in general, and the sharp rise in the price of energy in particular, are the direct results of Russian aggression.
Until recently, the EU’s energy policy was concerned solely with climate change. Today, other member states agree with Poland, which has long emphasised the need to diversify energy sources, build up gas reserves and wean ourselves off Russian fossil fuels. In addition to climate protection, the energy security of countries is now paramount.

The Hub- Commercial enterprise or public broadcaster? The CBC wants it both ways
Just being a public broadcaster isn’t good enough for the CBC.
Our $1.3 billion federal subsidy2 isn’t enough to make the CBC love us back. It wants more.
The deciding panel of five CRTC Commissioners was split. Very broadly, two were inclined to impose strict “conditions of license.” The winning three preferred “expectations,” based on the fact they trusted CBC to do the right thing.
This, then, is how the Great Canadian Broadcasting Game is played.
The CBC, considering itself the CRTC’s equal, pretty much charts its own course—but will take minor directions on relatively inconsequential matters so the commission doesn’t lose face. In exchange, the CRTC stays out of the way as CBC hides a commercial warrior behind the shield of a public broadcaster.
Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and… well, it may not be Boris Johnson’s Britain for much longer.
Now FIVE ministers resign en masse, taking total to 15 ministerial resignations.
Tory MPs say ‘men in grey suits’ planning to visit Boris Johnson this evening to tell him to walk, or there will be another confidence vote – probably within days.

In case there were any lingering doubts that Patrick Brown is a Liberal party plant…
Patrick Brown has cancelled today’s Brampton Council meeting. Facing investigations by the CPC for possible violations of federal election laws (which led to his disqualification) & forensic investigations inside City Hall, he has shut down council for a month.
I mean, this is Trudeau cabinet level stuff.

The euro fell to its lowest level in two decades on Tuesday as fears of a recession in the euro zone ramped up, with gas prices soaring and the Ukraine war showing no signs of abating.
The euro shed around 1.5% for the session to hit $1.0265 against the dollar, while the dollar index gained 1.29% to 106.49.
Euro zone inflation hit a record 8.6% in June, prompting the European Central Bank to give markets advance notice of its intention to hike interest rates for the first time in 11 years at its July meeting.
However, growing fears of a recession may limit the central bank’s capacity to tighten monetary policy. The July Sentix Economic Index on Monday showed investor morale across the 19-country euro zone has plunged to its lowest level since May 2020, pointing toward an “inevitable” recession.

A reader suggestion: Euro vs Ruble
Biden and Trudeau would like that. Some facts on fossil fuels.
Woke Britain: Just Stop Oil and the Last Supper. Comedy shows can’t be funny. How are those electric police cars working out? And Islamic outreach.
Biden’s America: True facts about guns. America has at least two dozen genders. Your morning meme. The Woke feminists. And the Babylon Bee ban.
Trudeau’s Canada: Pride forever at the CBC. Our Dear Leader is making three stops across Ontario today, at taxpayer expense. Great photo ops for his loyal media and adoring fans, at Vaughan, Simcoe County, and North Bay. Canada’s Joe Biden. Update: Trudeau would ban political posts he doesn’t like.
A recent, high-level hire at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy defended a controversial gay prostitution website with a track record of allowing children to be promoted for sexual services on the platform, The National Pulse can reveal.
The revelations, from unearthed op-ed, follow The National Pulse exposé of appointee Samuel Brinton’s past as a drag queen, LGBTQ+ activist who has “lectured” on kink at college campuses and participated in interviews about fetish roleplay.
In an article published on September 15th on the pro-LGBT+ website Advocate, Biden’s latest top nuclear hire dives into a defense of the “Rentboy.com” website, which shuttered following an August 2015 illegal prostitution raid. “Rentboy” is a colloquial term for young men who have sex with older men in exchange for money, often under dubious circumstances.
Nobody saw it coming.

@TerryGlavin – What the hell is going on here, and why is Heritage Canada funding this outfit?
I’ve been watching Alex Christoforou’s videos for awhile now. What’s striking about them is both the simplicity of the presentation and how good they look. If you get a chance try to watch this on a big screen. You don’t need fancy camera’s, lights, a studio, a team of researchers and a crew to do the news. A couple of smart phones and maybe a laptop and you can do a better job of it than 99% of the obsolete medias talking heads.

The US military is having trouble recruiting new members, according to the Pentagon. A much lower percentage of Americans are eligible to serve, and within that population, an even smaller amount is willing to enlist. Ret. Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation said, “This is the start of a long drought for military recruiting.” A recent poll by NBC News showed that only 9% of those eligible want to join the military, a major decrease from 29% in recent years.\
