The only difference between Canadian Thanksgiving and the one you guys celebrate a month later is that, besides having to listen to some 30-year-old who reads comic books “graphic novels” and still lives with his parents drone on about Columbus and smallpox blankets, we also have to hear about all the “cute little cars” they have in Cuba.
Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
“And now, the echo chamber is mad — but not at Ben Rhodes for what he said. They’re mad at Samuels for getting the story they didn’t–or didn’t even see was there, and they’re mad at him for what he reported. The Washington Post has published three different pieces on Samuels, none favorable, including one by the editor of the book section. The Post is mad of course because the Samuels piece publicly shamed the paper–after all, its main brief is to cover the local industry–the workings of the government of the United States. And yet as the article makes plain, Post reporters and especially columnists got spun and conned about the Iran deal. But much worse than that is that the Post got scooped on the story explaining how gullible they are. Scooped by the New York Times, in their own backyard on the biggest foreign policy story of the past four years! That’s embarrassing.”

China Syndrome: Let me rephrase what is happening: China is stepping on the gas pedal, they put jet fuel in the gas tank, and the car does nothing but rev the engine and coast forward slower and slower. All this credit is accomplishing is a slower rate of decline.

We get letters…
SK Power is pushing wind power and I want farmers to know there can be problems with allowing the ass backward things on their land if they do not get good legal advice. US farmers and Ont. farmers are experiencing what happens when the bloody things crash and burn.
The story: “Huron East farmers hit with $32 million liens by wind turbine construction”.
Sask Power seems to be wanting to get this through ASAP but farmers need to be aware of what is happening and what the consequences can be. The bureaucrats don’t give a damn what happens and you are such a good voice for the oppressed maybe we can get SK Power to step back.
Wake up, SaskParty. Bring your crown corporation to heel. These are the sort of issues that build to break popular governments.
Spread the word.

The missing leaders of today, Facebook’s bias and more
We just passed by the 71st anniversary of VE Day, where oh where are the leaders like those of the war period? Plus speaking with parents about the Wynne government screwing them on autism funding. Facebook suppressing conservative news, the government taking extra HST on car purchases and an animal welfare bill no one should support.

Slated to enter into effect on January 1, 2017, pending government approval, EEG 2016 will abolish feed-in tariffs as the primary policy instrument to incentivize renewable energy development. Instead, the Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy will establish an auction system, designed to provide market-based renewables support while making it easier to control development within a broader network of associated infrastructure.

I Apologise For My Genitals
Janice Fiamengo on the Maoist conspiracy theories of campus feminists:
[Among campus feminists,] men are expected to constantly apologise for their maleness… I’ve seen that at the talks I’ve given, where men will stand up and before they even speak they have to “check their privilege” and talk about how they’re white and they’re male, and how that means that therefore they can’t really understand the experience of victimisation, and they have to apologise for that, and erase themselves in some way, and acknowledge how terrible they are, and then they might be allowed to speak… as long as it’s in favour of feminism.
See, for instance, these pious confessions of default male wrongness.
