Wednesday On Turtle Island

Trudeau’s Canada:  Save the sacred woodpecker.  Muslim in Ottawa demands that the terrorist list be abolished.  White males need not apply.  Reparations?? Gov. General racks up 100k in-flight catering bill.  Every place on Turtle Island must be given an Indian name.

Biden’s America:  Old Joe’s plan to eliminate fossil fuels.  George Soros is a busy guy.  Twenty three pro life organizations vandalized.  Another lie from Joe Biden.

Today in Islam:   Some blacks don’t matter.  And trouble in India.

Your morning meme.

The Sad Reality of Trudeaupia

This was indirectly linked to earlier by one of my colleagues here on SDA but deserves a post of its own:

Old news

Must be a slow news day when the media trots out a story about a phenomenon that Canadians have been well aware of for nearly a century now. Since when has Atlantic Canada’s track record in entrepreneurship ever been something other than “disturbing”? Other than when startups have been showered with tax dollars only to fold the tent a short while later.

It might be a more worthwhile read if the author explained what companies with odd names like these actually do.

“Last year was the best of times for growing startups, as companies like Meta Materials, Introhive and Sonrai boasted large capital raises and strong revenue growth,” Entrevestor principal Peter Moreira said.

Freedom Increasing

But don’t expect normal.

True North- Trudeau government drops vaccine mandates for domestic travel

The Trudeau government announced on Tuesday an end to Covid vaccine mandates for domestic travel on planes and trains, outbound international trips and federally-regulated workers.

However, the vaccine mandate for inbound international flights is still in effect. Foreign nationals coming to Canada will still be required to be vaccinated. Unvaccinated Canadians returning to Canada will still need to quarantine and provide a valid pre-entry test result.

All travellers entering Canada are still required to input their information into the ArriveCAN app within 72 hours before their arrival in Canada.

Government release

Ezra has a theory.

No big deal, right?

With more rate hikes likely to come, has the housing bust finally begun? I’ve seen one pundit call this the equivalent of crossing the event horizon.

The association noted that sales slid as well, with 8,214 residential homes exchanging hands last month, down approximately 35 per cent from last May and eight per cent from April.

“Canadian mortgage rates continue to climb,” said BCREA chief economist Brendon Ogmundson in a press release accompanying the data. “The average five-year fixed mortgage rate reached 4.49 per cent in June. That is the highest mortgage rates have been since 2009.”

Tuesday On Turtle Island

When you think Invictus Games, you think non binary children.

Woke Britain:  Cancel culture is wonderful.  Well at least they didn’t get the sniffles.  Lockdown report on children.  And Woke Scotland.

Biden’s America:  Brandon’s 10 most honest lies.  Justin will be so upset. He missed the L.A. Pride Celebration.  The nukes are in good hands.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Eco-terrorists in Vancouver.  Rex Murphy on the emergencies act.  An examination of Trudeau on British TV news.

Today in Islam:  Muslim outreach in Egypt.

Why You Need an AR-15

The Kansas City Star- Deputies won’t go to non-emergency calls because of gas prices, Michigan sheriff says

“We have exhausted what funds were budgeted for fuel with several months to go before the budget reset,” Main’s post said, according to TV station WDIV. “I have instructed the deputies to attempt to manage whatever calls are acceptable over the phone,” including “non-life-threatening calls,” “non-in-progress calls,” and calls that don’t “require evidence collection or documentation.”

What Is A Woman?

Matt Taibi;

After publishing a review of Matt Walsh’s What is a Woman? this week, the expected avalanche of blowback from activists and even a few friends did arrive. Most went straight to the word “bigot,” while others decried “platforming a fascist.”

Let me explain my thoughts on this subject, since some seem to feel that laughing when a professor is caught calling “truth” transphobic is equivalent to supporting genocide.

Who We Are

The term “bigots” comes to mind.

Financial Post- Canada’s unofficial boycott of all things Russia catches up to Russian-speaking businesses

Elisaveta Ioussoupova didn’t expect any issues when she sent her assistant to the bank to deposit some cheques. It was routine at Ioussoupova’s Winnipeg-based private law practice, where she focuses on wills, immigration and business transactions. To Ioussoupova’s surprise, the bank refused the cheques, and instead asked for documents it had never requested before.

“I said, ‘Listen, I’ve been with this bank for so long and I have millions of dollars going through this branch,’” Ioussoupova recalled. (She often uses the branch as a third-party trust for large transactions, such as real-estate.) “We come here every day.”

Once again we see Canadian banks abusing their power and their customers.
