Y2Kyoto: Out With The Old Grift

In with the new.

In a stunning and significant pushback to the “doomsday” climate activist community, Bill Gates, a leading proponent for carbon emissions reductions, published a remarkable essay Tuesday that argued resources must be shifted away from the battle against climate change.

Instead, Gates argues, the world’s philanthropists must increase their investment in other efforts aimed at preventing disease and hunger.

Climate change is not going to wipe out humanity, he argued, and past efforts that strive for achieving zero carbon emissions have made real progress. But Gates said that past investments fighting climate change have been misplaced, and too much good money has been put into expensive and questionable efforts.

Indeed: He does this one step ahead of the law of con men eventually being caught.

@feelsdesperate – It’s amazing how AI came along with its massive energy needs and in a blink they just dropped ‘climate.’

Saskatchewan commits to nuclear power generation: The full press conference video

This is one of the most significant announcements in years.

This plan, if followed, will dramatically reshape Saskatchewan. Nuclear may not be cheap or easy, but it is also transformative in many ways. And as many participants and executives during the conference noted these power stations could last up to 100 years, this really is a case of planting trees so one’s grandchildren can play in the shade.

That plan, in its entirety, is reproduced here on Pipeline Online.

That’s just a part of the in-depth coverage of the conference’s events provided by Pipeline Online. Check out, for instance, the opening question Pipeline Online posed during the scrum portion, and then look at the question asked by other media at 44:51, when another reporter asked, “Can you clarify what you mean of nuclear power sources? Does that mean a nuclear power plant in Saskatchewan?”

“Yes, that’s what we’re talking about here,” Harrison responded.

Remember, she was standing there for 45 minutes, listening to over half an hour of press conference and then 10 minutes of questions to then ask if all this meant a nuclear power plant in Saskatchewan?

You might notice me in the middle of the pack, doing a face-palm.

The Progressive Anxiety

On crime, conflictedness, and weird excuses:

Regarding the consequent conflictedness and anxiety, all that progressive wrongness, these three posts include suitably vivid illustrations of the phenomenon.

Among which, a claim that more theatre for schoolchildren would somehow deter the kinds of creatures who repeatedly sucker-punch elderly ladies for being the wrong race, and a chap who insists that women should allow themselves to be mugged lest their mugger, out on probation, come to harm.

Oh, and the belief, expressed by a Guardian columnist, that when you find your home being burgled in the middle of the night, the real victims, the people deserving of sympathy and indulgence, are the ones breaking into your home while brandishing carving knives and then driving off with your valuables in your car.

Our betters, you know. They say so themselves.

Exorbitant Dairy Farm Debt: Why Canadians will always face high American tariffs

Ian Cumming, writing in the upcoming edition of Ontario Dairy Farmer magazine, describes in detail the insane debt levels of Canadian dairy farmers, ensuring that Canadian consumers will be on the getting screwed hook forever…and ensuring that Trump’s favourite sore spot – Canada’s protectionist dairy market – will remain in place for just as long.

THE U.S. NORTHEAST Dairy Farm Survey released in July 2025 by CoBank and Farm Credit East (US) had some concerns about the increasing debt per cow in New York and New England. It uses data from the year before and projects it into the present. It took 29 years to go from $2,000 (US) to $3,000 debt per cow, then eight years to go to $4,000 average debt per cow, and then another six years to reach $6,000 debt a cow in 2021. The 2024 survey is at $6,514 debt per cow. Intermediate and long-term debt on these farms averaged $5,526 per cow.

A recently published report in Canada on the Australian dairy industry, based on an average size per farm of over 500 cows and total debt per farm as cited, showed an average $1,522 debt per cow. Australian currency is roughly equal in value to the Canadian dollar. It is a country where cattle housing is not required.

In late August, 2024, in St Liborie, Quebec at the Outdoor Farm Show, three respected bankers standing side by side, lending from Ormstown to St Hyacinthe, were asked by Ontario Farmer what their average debt per cow was, with a cow’s production being 1.5 kilos of quota. They all agreed after a brief internal discussion that their average debt was $55,000 per cow…A 2024 dairy farm management club report, which comes out annually, detailing voluntary herd numbers in eastern Ontario and western Quebec, put their average debt at $33,000 per kilo of quota. Translated to the American level of production, that comes to an average of $52,800/cow debt, no matter the herd size.

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

@MZHemingway — so much to go over here but one of my favorite things about this absolutely unhinged note from an FBI agent out of Seattle is that he was trying to imprison Ed Corrigan, of all people, but not the Antifa terrorists in his own back yard.

It’s Probably Nothing

Did China Down Two U.S. Navy Aircraft in South China Sea?

The incidents occurred amid President Trump’s tour of Asia, during which he is expected to meet a host of Asian leaders, including China’s leader, Xi Jinping, making it more suspicious, and embarrassing.

The South China Sea is an extremely sensitive geopolitical region, and potential flashpoint for conflict, where China asserts ownership over much of the region, despite an international court ruling rejecting Beijing’s claims.

Over the last two decades, China has bolstered its illegal claims by constructing military installations across the sea, including artificial militarized islands on reefs, challenging U.S. efforts to ensure freedom of navigation in these international waters.

The U.S. Navy’s operations in the region are part of a broader strategy to counter China’s maritime expansion and aggression.

Regina’s Chief of Police Fired

I have no information, but there’s more from Regina’s leading news source on Facebook.

Over the past six months the Public Complaints Comission investigated an allegation of the major discipline offence of discreditable conduct, and recommended it be concluded as substantiated. The investigation and evidence showed that Chief Sheikh engaged in inappropriate private communications with a police board member over several months that demonstrated a significant and continuing lapse in professional judgement and conduct inconsistent with RPS core values. Key evidence included ongoing communications between the chief and board member that was kept from other board members and the police service. The chief and board member engaged in an exchange of text messages during and pertaining to an in-camera discussion, from which the chief had been excused, while the board discussed amendments to his contract. Chief Sheikh suggested to the board member that text messages between them be deleted as discovery of their communications became at risk.

No severance. Hmm.

Update from @JustBins – One of the many selfies Chief Farooq texted the police commissioner.

Great Success!

CBC- Toronto’s food bank use keeps hitting new records, faster than ever before: report

“It took 38 years to get to one million visits, two years to get to two million, a year to get to three,” he said. “And now we’re another year and here we are at 4.1 million visits.”

That figure comes straight from this year’s Who’s Hungry report, and represents an increase of 636,962 more visits than 2024. It’s also a 340 per cent increase since 2019.
