Socialism flows in only one direction;

French police fired water cannon and tear gas at angry firefighters – some who set themselves on fire during demonstrations. Fire brigade unions are demanding better pay and conditions and organised the demonstration in the capital’s Place de la Republique to bring attention to their cause today. They want a pay rise of 25% arguing their work is made increasingly difficult due to staff cuts and attacks against them. Paris police said firefighters who tried to break down or scale fencing near the Nation area of the city were dispersed by water cannon.

Wexit Saskatchewan

A new provincial party takes shape.

In a livestream announcement on the VoteWexit.com Facebook Group, lead
registration coordinator, Eric Wall has announced that the application for
official party registration was delivered to Elections Saskatchewan late
last week.
 
The efforts involved in the registration process managed to gather nearly
1,100 more signatures than what was required to apply – the total signature
count for the application was 3, 599.
 
Wall also stated that the application process should be complete within a
couple weeks and the official word should be posted on the Elections
Saskatchewan website after the approval has been given.

As I predicted.

We Are All Treaty People$

Engineer…

The National Transportation Safety Board has discovered that the man who was killed in a crash involving a Tesla SUV was playing a game on his phone at the time of the crash.
 
The man was identified as Apple engineer Walter Huang.
 
The NTSB said Huang was on his phone playing a game while the vehicle’s autopilot system was engaged. The SUV swerved and hit a concrete barrier on the freeway in Mountain View, California, in March 2018.

How Australia defied global health authority on coronavirus

Sydney Morning Herald;

Why were the Australians ahead of the world? For a very simple reason. They don’t trust the WHO. The information from multiple international sources is that the WHO is under intense pressure from the Chinese government, and succumbing to it.
 

The Australian Commonwealth Chief Medical Officer, Brendan Murphy, told the NSC that it was medically inexplicable that the WHO hadn’t already declared a global pandemic. It’s politics, in other words.
 
That’s why Australia had earlier forged ahead of the WHO in declaring the China travel ban, on February 1. It was, again, on the unanimous advice of the AHPPC.

Oddly enough, when I searched Twitter for “Hunter Biden” it produced pro-Joe results instead. The same happened with “Hunter Biden support”. It didn’t bring up the Freebeacon link until I searched for “Hunter Biden paternity”.

What’s the Truth About Sweden’s Socialism?

Bernie Sanders and AOC frequently tout Sweden as the perfect example of Democratic Socialism. What is the actual reality over there?

Incidentally, before you dismiss President Sanders as a possibility, don’t forget that the Shiny Pony won a 2nd term after a plethora of scandals. Most of the electorate are Low Information Voters and can easily be swayed, even against their own best interests. Also remember the damage that Rachel Notley did to Alberta in just one term. If Sanders & co. take control of the reins of power, we all are going to be in a whole lot of trouble.
