Where’s The Beef?

Dr. Sylvain Charlebois- Ottawa Wants to Keep Beef Prices High — Deliberately. Here’s How.

We recently received information from a reliable industry source about how the federal government is administering beef import permits. If accurate, it raises serious concerns about whether Ottawa is knowingly sustaining an outdated and opaque system that keeps beef prices unnecessarily high. At a time when many families are struggling with food costs, this is more than a bureaucratic issue—it directly affects affordability.

About the liberalization of narcotic use is the way it forced international drug cartels to leave their old ways behind to find honest work.

Seven Canadians with alleged ties to former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, who is considered one of the world’s most dangerous fugitives with a major drug-trafficking network operating across the Americas, have been arrested and will be extradited to the U.S. in connection to former Canadian

Well that was surprising

If you build a wind farm in SK vs AB, you will get roughly one third more megawatt-hours out of it. Build the same turbine, get one third more return. That’s a surprising conclusion from analyzing wind capacity factors in SK and Alberta, seen in this story. 

Zero still means zero, but this was rather eye-opening.

It’s also interesting to see how some wind farms in Alberta don’t perform worth a damn. Take a good look at the graph. You see several with capacity factors as low as 16 per cent.

But wait! There’s more.

The IFHP gives supplementary health benefits to people who claim refugee status, even after their refugee claim has been denied. That means bogus refugee claimants receive dental, drug, vision, physio etc. coverage that taxpaying Canadian do not get.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

NBC News;

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., was indicted Wednesday on charges she stole and laundered $5 million in federal relief funds and used the money for her congressional campaign, the Justice Department said.

In a news release citing the indictment, the Justice Department said that Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and Edwin Cherfilus, 51, her brother, worked on a staffing contract funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Covid vaccinations tied to their family health care company in 2021 and that the company was overpaid by $5 million in relief funds.

She and her brother are accused of conspiring to steal the overpayment and route it through various accounts to conceal its origins. Cherfilus-McCormick is alleged to have used the money for her own enrichment and to fund a significant part of her congressional campaign.

Protection Money

If you pony up enough money to the paleolithic set, maybe your project can go ahead.

Jonathan Wilkinson, a B.C. Liberal MP and a former federal environment minister, said today that “a number of things” would need to happen before the tanker ban could change, including discussions with the B.C. government and coastal First Nations.

Scroll down to see the Financial Post point out the errors in Eby’s arguments.

As the saying goes, you’re entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts. Premier Eby’s objections to another Alberta pipeline are rooted in fallacies, not fact. The Carney government should recognize that and decide soon whether or not another pipeline to B.C. tidewater is “in the national interest” — which apparently is how you get a permit to build major projects in Canada these days.

In 2023 the Office for National Statistics quietly ended its “Deaths by Vaccination Status” series

The UK’s Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has recently been exposed for its blatant refusal to release critical data that could reveal a potential link between Covid-19 shots and the nation’s alarming surge in excess deaths. This is not a simple case of bureaucratic foot-dragging but what can be described as a deliberate data blackout.

As The Telegraph reveals in a damning exposé, UKHSA officials invoked the “distress or anger” of bereaved families as their shield, arguing that any hint of correlation in the data might shatter the emotional well-being of those left behind.

The Cheque Is In The Mail

I’m suspicious about the impact of these measures for a few reasons: voluntary departures come with severance; government retirement plans often require funding out of general revenue so early retirement just means more losses to cover; many eliminated jobs are potential positions as opposed to actual ones, and the timeline is an entire decade.

He said the company will use “attrition first” to downsize from the roughly 62,000 people it employed at the end of last year.

The company expects to shed 16,000 employees through retirement or voluntary departures by 2030, with an additional 14,000 leaving by 2035.
