Blog Notes
I begin a 3 week road trip today to points south, and will have only intermittent access to the net, and little time for blogging. The guest bloggers have been notified, but they have busy lives, too.
If things slow down here, head on over to Mark Steyn or Kathy Shaidle or Instapundit and the other folks on the blog roll. And don’t forget the Reader Tips threads — often the best content of the day is in those threads.
Thanks everyone for your patience!

A Very Sober Look at How Deeply Unhinged the Left Has Become
Dan Henninger talks with host, John Batchelor (podcast)
Show Notes:
Shakespeare in the Park Trump “Unhingement.” @DanHenninger @WSJOpinion
“…But that wasn’t the end of it. We may assume that as Ms. Griffin was creating her video, the artists at New York’s Public Theater were rehearsing their production of ” Julius Caesar, ” the one in which Central Park audiences watch Caesar as a blond-haired Donald Trump, who is pulled down from a podium by men in suits and assassinated with plunging knives.
The news site Axios runs stories regularly about journalists who have been suspended or fired because of their unhinged postings on Twitter . After Donald Trump used a tweet to revive his long-running feud with the mayor of London amid the June 3 killings, CNN personality Reza Aslan tweeted that Mr. Trump was a “piece of s–.”
Some take comfort that these displays did not go unpunished. CNN wrist-slapped Ms. Griffin by dropping her as co-host of its New Year’s Eve show with Anderson Cooper. Delta Air Lines , American Express and Bank of America withdrew their sponsorship of “Julius Caesar,” though New York City’s Democratic Comptroller Scott Stringer said their pullout “sends the wrong message.”
Advertisers must wake up every morning wondering what political meteorite will hit them next. J.P. Morgan Chase pulled its ads this week from NBC News rather than be associated with Megyn Kelly’s prime-time interview with Alex Jones to discuss “controversies and conspiracies,” such as his notion that the Sandy Hook murders were a hoax. Ms. Kelly justified the interview in part on Twitter because Donald Trump appeared on Mr. Jones’s show and “our job is 2 shine a light.”
Donald Trump’s election has caused psychological unhingement in much of the population. But the Trump phenomenon only accelerated forces that were plummeting in this direction before the 2016 election….”

Apparently, Leftist Politics Don’t Protect Old Leftists from the New Ones
Because you created these monsters.
What do we want?
Electronic voting!
When do we want it? NEVER.
Given the narrative in the media today, I think we can safely assign this Trudeau campaign promise to the bin with all the other care-bear beamed wishes.
PM Harper’s first mandate? Five promises made, five promises kept. Realism trumps unicorn farts every single day.

What Would We Do Without Researchers?
RoundUp has long been considered a benign alternative to harsher weedkillers. After extensive reviews, most regulatory agencies–the US Environmental Protection Agency, the European Food Safety Authority, and those of many other nations–have come to the conclusion that it does not cause cancer. So when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the UN’s World Health Organization, declared RoundUp a probable carcinogen in 2015, there was an international outcry. Shortly after, 184 plaintiffs in California filed a legal case against Monsanto, saying that the company failed to warn them about the risks of its product. Since then, in a separate suit, hundreds more plaintiffs have claimed that RoundUp caused their cancers, citing the IARC’s findings as evidence.
About that evidence: According to a new Reuters investigation, Aaron Blair, the scientist who led the IARC’s review panel on glyphosate, had access to data from a large study that strongly suggested that Roundup did not cause cancer after all–but he withheld that data from the RoundUp review panel. Weirder still: Blair himself was a senior researcher on that study.

It’s not a “failure” – it’s a strategy.
Math education in Alberta has reached a new low. Our rate of math illiteracy has doubled for Grade 4 students since 2011, with our most vulnerable students hit hardest. […]
The results on international tests paint a clear picture of failure for the discovery math curriculum, Stokke says: “It’s hard to understand why it isn’t clear to (education) ministry officials.”
Not so hard, once you understand that the left has plans to do their thinking for them.

slop that is being mass-produced by today’s teachers and parents. Worse, as I’ve said before, these sheep are completely sold college as not only a Utopian Nirvana, a place where they “finally” can graduate to and find their place in life, but a birthright, and entitlement that their then-17 year old lives have nothing else to live for. With such a large and establishing infrastructure brainwashing these kids, with such a tasty and addictive lie, it doesn’t matter how many smarter students are red-pilled on the fringes via the alternative media, nuclear families, present fathers, or even my book, there is ALWAYS going to be sheep, willingly lining themselves up to be slaughtered at the altar of Big Education.”

All monies from Saskatchewan business, municipalities and people should be run through the Provincial gov’t before being handed over to the Feds. Basically, be Quebec because you’re making empty threats unless you’ve the ability to turn off the money spigot.
Having said that, if Saskatchewan doesn’t want to pay into the federal GST kitty via carbon tax, which we don’t, then we shouldn’t whine if the Feds decide to hold back some contributions from PEI.
