Melissa Watch

This looks like a bad one: Category 5 Hurricane Melissa is stalled off Jamaica with near-perfect structure and a crystal-clear eye.

USAF C-130 J Hercules (#TEAL74) has made it inside the eye and wall of the hurricane incredible video images.

Things That Go Boom

eugyppius- In Germany we have the highest electricity prices in Europe and we just blew up our largest-capacity nuclear plant on live television.

A weird clique of freaked out activists, sour schoolmarms and intellectually confused people are dragging Germany into the abyss, while our elected politicians stand around and make tepid suggestions. Our leading industrial city just voted for its own complete deindustrialisation in fifteen years. One in five municipal utilities in Germany hopes to decommission its entire natural gas network by 2045. We are headed straight for disaster.

Lacking Alternatives

Basically, Canada needs US markets a lot more than they need our markets, or anyone else’s for that matter.

Beaudry contrasted Canada’s dependence on global trade — roughly 40 per cent of the economy — with the U.S.’s much lower reliance at about 15 per cent. That difference, he said, helps explain why Washington can afford to use tariffs as a political and fiscal tool without triggering the same level of economic disruption seen elsewhere.

Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

We sure do make a lot of fentanyl for a country that has no major exports.

The RCMP’s Ontario Federal Policing unit announced Friday that search warrants executed on September 7 in Schomberg, northwest of Toronto, resulted in the seizure of nearly $10 million in suspected controlled substances, along with prohibited weapons, chemical precursors, and a range of illegal production equipment.

In addition to cash, drugs, and chemicals, officers discovered a pill press, firearms, handwritten drug “recipes,” flasks, chemical glassware, and other lab components. Approximately 20,000 litres of hazardous waste were also removed from the site.
