An SDA regular from Ontario corresponds with me regularly. Here’s a little missive he sent from México and gave me permission to share:

We are spending a few weeks in the sun again. By my wife’s count, this our 7th trip to Mexico. Over that thirty-plus years there was always a pronounced Canadian presence at our Mexican vacation spots — and so it is this time as well. But apparently, according to virtually every Canadian we run into, things are very different this year.

We are told that there has been a huge increase in Canadians on the Mayan Riviera this year because, wait for it, “they’re not going to Florida anymore”. This news is invariably delivered with a smug happiness, as “we sure showed him, eh?”

We have heard this dozens of times, and we respond to it with a few quick follow-up questions. “Is this your first time here?” “Oh no, we’ve been coming here for five (or twenty) years”. “So, did you vacation in Florida last year?” “No.” The smarter ones see the contradiction between fact and their narrative and change the subject or, get sour and terminate the conversation. The others try a different tack: asserting that it’s the Quebec traffic that’s waaaay up — at which point I invite them to speculate how much of that might be due to the Quebecois abandonment of Cuba over the past year or so.

A week or so ago, my wife was explaining where our home town was to a poolside Karen who loudly exclaimed – Americans within earshot – that “Any place in Canada is a great place to be.” I told her we had friends in Brampton who would disagree. She has (mercifully) ignored us ever since.

Can Canadian Conservatives Find a Backbone?

In Britain, it appeared that Nigel Farage and his Reform Party were sailing towards a victory at the next election in a few years. Many right-of-centre Britons had reservations about Farage but realized they had no other way to effect change in their nation. Recently though, a gentleman named Rupert Lowe launched a new party called Restore Britain and many expect them to capture a large amount of support in the coming months and years, sweeping Farage into the dustbin of history.

In Canada, many have questioned if Pierre Poilievre is a real conservative and not merely a placeholder as the junior member of the Uniparty. These suspicions are rising as Poilievre has chosen to criticize, rather than praise, Jamil Jivani for his recent actions to help resolve Canadian/American relations.

As someone who’s had to deal with Diesel Exhaust Fluid, I find these latest steps very encouraging. It remains to be seen, however, what the actual impact will be, considering that California is unlikely to drop its diesel emission standards. My best guess: your new tractor or truck will still come equipped for DEF, but you’ll be able to easily switch it off. That means you’ll still have to pay for hardware that you’ll never use.

It is important to note that the decision also removes the federal EV mandate for Class 8 trucks, meaning it is no longer federally required, and that diesel equipment will remain part of fleet operations. Therefore, other rules are still moving forward. The 2027 NOx emissions standards remain in place, and manufacturers have already developed engines designed to meet those requirements. State regulations also continue to play a role. For instance, California and other states maintain their own emissions policies.

The Dirty Little Secret Of Democrat Governance

Nobody needs to stay in Virginia.

After nearly a decade in Virginia, Boeing announced on Wednesday that it is moving its Defense, Space & Security headquarters out of the state back to St. Louis. This comes just weeks after new Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger took office, replacing Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.[…]

The departure comes just over a month after Spanberger took office as Virginia’s governor. Though she campaigned as a pragmatic centrist, critics have said her day-one actions depict a very different approach.

In a flurry of executive orders after her inauguration, the Democrat rescinded Youngkin’s 287(g) order that instituted cooperation with ICE, reprioritized diversity, equity and inclusion, and seized on broad affordability initiatives, including housing regulation reviews that align with progressive approaches to zoning.

And nobody needs to play in Chicago.

Family, taking care of family.

A sweetheart deal with the Kielburger clan to rent a building for a women’s shelter has seen millions spent but no shelter being opened yet in Cabbagetown.

The building at 233 Carlton St., the first headquarters for Free the Children and WE Charity, has been under city control since Jan. 1, 2020. Despite spending $11 million on renovations — with millions more to go — and $2.2 million in rent to the Kielburgers, the shelter still isn’t open and isn’t expected to be open until the end of this year.

Is the federal NDP a political party or a suicide pact?

… the all-anglophone field stumbled through November’s French debate in Montreal. Interim leader Don Davies even jokingly called the Franglais-filled evening a morale booster for the Bloc Québécois.

Activist and filmmaker Avi Lewis comes into the debate as the clear frontrunner…. He’s also driven much of the conversation with progressive proposals like a public option for groceries, national wealth tax for the top one per cent of Canadians and a so-called Green New Deal to transition fossil-fuel workers to sustainable industries.

Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested.

The arrest comes weeks after a tranche of U.S. Department of Justice documents, released January 30 under the Epstein Transparency Act, surfaced emails suggesting Mountbatten-Windsor may have shared confidential government reports with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy — a role that brought him into sustained contact with some of China’s most senior political and business figures.

King Charles III confirmed the arrest Thursday, saying he had “learned with the deepest concern” the news about his brother and supported a “full, fair and proper process.” In a written statement, the King added: “Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.” He indicated he would not be commenting further and said his family would “continue in our duty and service.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking on the BBC hours before the arrest was announced, said that “nobody is above the law” and that the principle applied “in this case in the same way it would in any other case.”

Beyond Starmer’s statement on Mountbatten-Windsor, as The Bureau has reported, disclosures in the Epstein files appear to link the former prince and Starmer’s own appointee as US ambassador, Lord Peter Mandelson, to a web of potential self-dealing involving Chinese financial and intelligence-linked entities alongside Western political and banking elites. That connection means the investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor carries significant consequences for Starmer and his Labour government — not merely as a constitutional crisis over the monarchy, but as a potential reckoning over what those closest to the prime minister knew, and whether they were involved, or even influenced on decisions related to Beijing.

The arrest is unprecedented in the modern era — the first time a senior member of the royal family, or a former senior member, has been apprehended over potential criminal activity in Britain. Prince William and his wife have said they were “deeply concerned” by the latest Epstein revelations.

Can Saskatchewan do the CANDU?

Drill, Baby, Drill 12 Comments

Should Saskatchewan buy the CANDU reactor when it comes to building large-scale nuclear in this province? Carl Marcotte Senior Vice-President, Marketing & Business Development at CANDU Energy, part of AtkinsRealis, makes the pitch. Building large reactors will only be the largest, most expensive decision made by this province for generations.
