“Green Coal”

Hahahahaha…

A power producer in the city of Tianjin has issued “green bonds” worth 1 billion yuan ($150 million) to finance a 2,000-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant, a move slammed by an environmental group for diverting funds from cleaner projects.
Tianjin SDIC Jinneng Electric Power Co Ltd announced this week that it had registered the short-term “green bonds” on the interbank market and would complete the sale in the third quarter of this year. It said it was the first “green bond” of its kind to be launched by China’s thermal power sector.
The bond sale will be used to pay back loans used to build two 1,000-MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired generation plants, the company said in a statement.

I like it.

CFL Picks Week 7

Thursday: Calgary over Toronto
Friday: Ottawa wins against Winnipeg
Friday: Edmonton beats Hamilton
Saturday: BC takes Saskatchewan
Ottawa/Winnipeg is a toss-up. If Ottawa plays like they did at the beginning of the season, win. If Winnipeg has the heart from last week, win.
I debated going with Hamilton over Edmonton, after what Calgary did to the Ticats, because this game has the feeling of an upset, but I’m usually wrong about that.
Here’s hoping I’m completely wrong about a Saskatchewan loss again.

The White House is in flames, says the media. Everything is on fire. Chaos!
In other words, the administration is coming apart and the capital is burning. Trump is slaying sacred cows and, in the words of American Greatness Senior Editor Julie Ponzi, he is killing the gods of the city and no one knows what to do. The only thing anybody knows is that the things we are seeing have never been done before and Donald Trump is refusing to follow any of the proper conventions (if he even knows what they are . . . tsk tsk).
The media–the cornerstone of the establishment–is doing its best to make it clear to the American people that they ought to be wringing their hands about all of this. Chaos reigns in the imperial city, and Trump is to blame. Nothing is getting done, and everything is terrible.
Of course, this is all poppycock.

Very much related…

Ironically, while government officials and top policymakers continue to sound the alarm about growing household debt, government debt is arguably a far more pressing concern. Over the past 26 years, government-sector debt (gross) in Canada has grown from approximately $700 billion in 1990 to more than $2.5 trillion in 2016. However, whereas recent increases in Canadian household debt have been accompanied by increases in net worth, the same cannot be said about government debt.

They say that like the “government” is somebody else.

Google Is Evil

Toronto Sun;

The University of Toronto professor and clinical psychologist has been shouted down at public speaking events by protesters and at one point was cautioned by his employer.
But [Jordan] Peterson has attracted a large following as a champion of free speech, especially online where his YouTube videos have 18 million hits and 350,000 subscribers.
So Peterson was surprised Tuesday when Google abruptly shut down his Gmail account without warning, locking him out of his YouTube channels, although they remained up.
When he complained formally to Google, Peterson received a reply from the “Google Accounts Team.”
“We understand you’ve recently been unable to access your Google account, and we appreciate you contacting us,” Google replied in the e-mail. “After review, your account is not eligible to be reinstated due to a violation of our terms of service.”
Peterson said he was given no real explanation for why he was frozen out of his e-mail account of some 15 years, or why it was returned.
