Summer Skiing

Sure fire proof of global warming.

Sun- Sunshine Village to reopen for skiing and riding on Canada Day

It’s been more than a month since Sunshine Village celebrated the end of their already-long season with their annual Slush Cup, but the Banff resort has — somewhat miraculously — announced that they’re reopening for Canada Day this week.

That’s something that hasn’t happened since 1991, but a tonne of snow throughout the winter led to conditions on the mountain staying skiable through June, so Sunshine has decided to reopen from June 28 until, hopefully, July 3rd.

Another “L” in the Left’s Column

Supreme Court upholds Christian coach’s right to pray at games:

The Supreme Court on Monday issued a ruling upholding the First Amendment right of free speech with regard to prayer. The Court ruled in favor of a high school football coach who was told he was not to pray on the field post-game in the case of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.

The 6-3 ruling determined that the school district in 2015 violated the coach’s rights to free speech when they prohibited him from praying on the field, and that coach subsequently lost his job over the matter. The majority opinion was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was joined by Chief Justice Roberts, along with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Amy Coney Barrett. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the opinion, except as regards one section.

Some Uncomfortable Facts

Here in North America, we hear a constant refrain from the Left that we need to be more like Europe. One can only wonder if ANY of those protesting the recent SCOTUS decision about abortion are aware of these facts:

Perhaps if they spent less time learning new TikTok dance moves and instead troubled themselves to learn something of importance, we could raise the level of debate a tad.

Update: Matt Walsh provides a comprehensive take on the Left’s meltdown.

Perhaps the TikTok Dance Strategy Wasn’t the Left’s Best Idea Ever

Whether it was this or this, the smarter ones on the Left are now realizing that perhaps they should have reconsidered their “dance strategy” to combat SCOTUS:

Post Roe v. Wade decision update: This is a somber moment for us. We acknowledge that TikTok dances may not have been the greatest tactic to get the SCOTUS draft rejected, but please understand that this was part of a greater awareness campaign. Please, also stop attacking us and our writers online. We are all our own worst critics, after all. It is now time to snuff that critic out and start the healing process: Self-care in the post-Roe v. Wade apocalypse: 7 top tips.

Do read through the comments.  They’re priceless, a literal glimpse into the Leftoid mind in 2022.

Update: Observing the Leftist tears and will these sparks erupt in a Civil War?

Monday On Turtle Island

Woke Britain:  Parents demand lesson plans.  Apparently puppets are racist.

Today in Islam:  Time to talk about the Islamist threat.  Some diversity in Sweden.  Muslim outreach in Egypt.  And a shelter in Tijuana.

Biden’s America:  Justin would welcome him to Canada.  Rocker renounces his citizenship.  Florida could have had a Democrat governor.  The Democrats lies on abortion.  The Devil and the death shots.

Pride Month:  Abolish police and prisons.  Leftist Canadian libraries call in the police.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Making fun of Jagmeet and the Liberals is racist.  Justin continues to make a fool of himself in Europe.

A Glitch in the Matrix

A few days ago, five bought-and-paid-for uncourageous “journalists” got together and had some unpleasant things to say about Dear Leader and his Comrades. Don’t worry though, Liberal supporters, all such dissent will be fixed once the new Conservative leader is elected and these pundits have a new target to throw their venonomous daggers at.

A mountain of losses

Predictably, the federal government’s nationalization of the Trans Mountain pipeline has created a money losing boondoggle. Perhaps it should be renamed the Springfield Monorail.

The latest analysis by the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) released Wednesday shows the net present value of the pipeline is negative $600 million. 

The financial analysis takes into account new developments, such as budget overruns that peg the current cost of the expansion at $21.4 billion: a 70 per cent increase from an earlier estimate of $12.6 billion.

The new PBO report also reflects the fact that the pipeline’s projected completion date has been pushed back to the third quarter of 2023.

“Once we take into consideration the purchase price, the cost of expansion and the stream of revenues over a 40 year period,” PBO Yves Giroux told CTV News, “the pipeline will not be generating, overall, a profit.”

It’s Sunday On Turtle Island

Trudeau’s Canada:  We are getting a reputation for being a police state.  Air Canada admits its mistake.  Is Justin embracing fascism?

Pride Month:  Transgender civil servants can use whatever washrooms they want.  CBC promotes Gays in church.  Democrat wants Drag Queens in every school.  A starter kit.  Apparently this is an important issue.

We’re all going to die news:  I wonder how Greta got to the festival?

Biden’s America:  Hollywood goes insane over abortion.  CNN panellist uses Nazi policies to justify abortion.  Your morning meme.
