Regulator Admits 2018 Buddhist Land Probe Was Never Completed;

An investigation was launched in early 2016 into the land holdings of several Buddhist-related organizations under section 15 of the Prince Edward Island Lands Protection Act. According to IRAC’s response to legislators, a consultant prepared both an initial and a supplementary report and provided those documents to the investigating officers on a privileged basis. But for reasons not explained by IRAC, the Commission’s investigating officers did not ultimately produce a report, no hearing was held, and no order was issued determining whether the parties under investigation did or did not violate the Act.

The revelations have shocked legislators and residents who for years believed the province had quietly completed — and withheld — the 2018 report. Instead, the correspondence shows that the probe was effectively abandoned without explanation.

Circling Le Drain

One possible reason why gold is setting new records in dollar terms is fear of default; i.e. a growing realization that some governments are on the verge of stiffing their creditors. Today, default is becoming a possibility not just for third world backwaters, but for large economies such as France. The reasons are simple enough, as this video explains. France is spending itself into oblivion thanks to pensions that pay out more in benefits than a working person earns.

Roger Simon: MidEast Peace Big Trouble for the Democrat Party

Given what Trump has just achieved, it makes the MSM and Capitol Hill Dems look like clown shows. They, particularly the Democrats’ increasingly bizarre Mamdani/AOC left-wing, have been busy running their party into the ground. Trump’s peacemaking allows them to finish the job by making the Democrats seem so kooky by comparison that even extinction now seems a possibility.

Sound excessive? I don’t think so. Listening to cable news tonight, I may have missed something, but I did not hear one Democrat congratulate President Trump on his achievement.

According to Grok, at this writing, even Sen. Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, a Jew, and supposedly a friend of Israel, has said not a word. Terrified of AOC? You bet.

What is wrong with these people? Well, plenty. They are so overwhelmed with hate, for Trump and evidently for each other, that they can’t see straight or think rationally.

Deep Pockets

When I chose the title, I was referring to the deep pockets of taxpayers. There’s no way this boondoggle is ever going to turn a profit.

Carbon capture startup Deep Sky says it will build a commercial carbon removal facility in southwestern Manitoba.

Scroll down to examine Deep Sky’s track record when it comes to sequestering not just carbon, but tax dollars.

The Alberta carbon capture project was built at a cost of $58 million by the company, Deep Sky, which has received “investments” from the Alberta government ($5 million), two banks ($2.5 million), a grant from the Bill Gates Foundation ($40 million), with Royal Bank and Microsoft committed to buying 10,000 “removal credits.” On its website, Deep Sky, which also received funding from Investissements Quebec, pitches for more. “We’re looking for industry leaders who want to join our fight against the carbon crisis.”
