Paleolithic Reality

The common narrative is that the indigenous tribes living in a particular area prior to European settlement were always living there. But that’s not really true, is it?

“Very convenient to cloak your claims in spiritualism. …No matter what your legends say, you didn’t sprout from the plains like the spring grasses and you didn’t coalesce out of the ether. You came out of the Minnesota Woodlands armed to the teeth and set upon your fellow man. You massacred the Kiowa, the Omaha , the Ponca, the Otoe, and the Pawnee without mercy …and yet you claim the Black Hills is a private preserve bequeathed to you by the great spirit. … You conquered those tribes, lusting for their game and their lands, just as we have now conquered you for no less noble a call.”

Poland vs. Woke Western Failures

This recent article shows how Poland has steadily climbed economically and will soon be exceeding economic output in the UK:

Twice does not quite cover it. In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. It may soon pull level. Since the end of 2019 Britain’s GDP per capita has grown by less than 1 per cent in real US dollars. Poland’s has grown almost 18 per cent, nearly twice as much as that of the US.

We won’t be screwed again

The Churchill Falls agreement in the 1970s was one of the most lopsided imaginable, with Quebec getting thousands of megawatts of energy for a fixed price that today is so negligible to be almost considered free. Yet Newfoundland has all but starved in the decades hence. That agreement is now being renegotiated and was a major point in Tuesday’s election.

In other words, the Newfies just voted for a government that’s not going to let them get screwed again.

And for perspective, at 5428 megawatts, Churchill Falls is capable of producing more power than every single generator in Saskatchewan – coal, natural gas, wind, solar, hydro, biomass and the kitchen sink – combined.

Blacklock’s- Not My Job, Minister Testifies

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree confirms cabinet has yet to fulfill an April election promise to hire more police and border guards. “I’m not responsible for the hiring,” he told the Commons public safety committee.

The Liberal Party in its re-election platform Canada Strong promised “1,000 new Canada Border Services Agency officers to crack down on drugs” and “1,000 more RCMP personnel to tackle drug and human trafficking.” The promise was reannounced April 10, April 28, June 3 and August 12.

Adam Zivo- My evening among the Gaza protestors

Holly wanted a one-state solution under Palestinian rule, which she believed would be safe for Jewish citizens. After I pointed out that many Israeli Jews were previously expelled from neighbouring Arab countries, she replied: “As long as they’re not killing Palestinians, generally, the Jews there are safe, yes.” So I pushed a little more: with Hamas killing over 1,000 Jews on October 7th, could they truly be protected? She ended the interview.
