Running For Cover?

What’s with the mainstream financial media’s sudden interest in bank runs? I can’t imagine what the Canadian government might have done to annoy an American administration who might see a need to gate the assets of a Canadian bank, can you?

Zelmer said that Canada’s decision to ring-fence the Canadian assets of Maple Bank, a small German lender that ran into financial difficulty in 2016, was something of a precedent for how regulators in other countries might respond.

“We should not be surprised if the United States and other countries would be willing to ring-fence a much larger Canadian bank with many foreign depositors,” he wrote.

This is essentially a comedy video, but is also very insightful about the perils of AI.

I use [Grok] AI for some of my software engineering work but analogous to asking a colleague who is an expert on a particular subject. I question everything it reports back. But the people who are highlighted in this video apparently use AI for everything. The Deep State must be rubbing their hands in glee about how much easier it’s going to be to manipulate masses of people to do whatever they want.

How have you personally used AI so far this year?

The Food Professor sat down to talk to some University of Montreal grad students the other day. The feedback he got confirms the suspicions of many that most universities have never altered their mission to graduate as many Marxists as possible.

Spoke with a group of graduate students and faculty today. The consensus in the room was clear: they believe food companies shouldn’t be allowed to make a profit, and meat consumption should be banned or at least heavily discouraged.

HeCheated.org: In all, male athletes took 18 top three state championship medals this year, winning 8 state championship titles.

Because of the EO and Title IX (federal law), there shouldn’t be or ever have been a single male athlete participating in girls’ scholastic sports in the United States, but we all know that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Here’s a recap of the boys who participated during the 2024-2025 season by sport as we move into the 2025-2026 season.

I’ve done this thread before, but there are quite a few notable names to add.

Note: athletes may appear twice due to participating in multiple sports

Jacques has previously participated in track and field where he won a state championship title in the high jump as a sophomore. A female athlete is benched due to Jacques’ participation. It has also been revealed that Jacques’ father was previously arrested for child pornography.

No man has a right to tell a … er… man what do with his body or something something.

The Brett Kavanaugh assassination plot was bad enough as it was originally revealed when the assassin (Nicholas Roske, a man identifying as a woman in court proceedings, a fact first reported in 2022) encountered law enforcement and turned himself in. The assassin has pleaded guilty and will soon be sentenced. A Justice Department sentencing memorandum filed on Friday, seeking a 30-year prison sentence, laid out more details, revealing the extent of the assassin’s advance planning […]

The motive for the planned mass assassination is also very explicit — to stop the Court from overturning Roe v. Wade and replace Kavanaugh and other conservatives with liberal justices to be appointed by Joe Biden. Samples of the assassin’s text messages on Discord:
