Former premier Dalton McGuinty to resign as MPP on Wednesday
It’s Probably Nothing
While we still don’t have the answer, what we do know is that as of an hour ago when the Comex released its daily vault depository statistics, JPM has said goodbye to another 28.4% of all of its vaulted gold – the largest one day withdrawal since April 25, the result of the departure of 61.5% of its Eligible gold, or 218k troy oz, as hundreds of thousands of registered ounces in the bast few weeks have seen warrant detachment.

Speaking of ‘shoddy historical statistics’….
Former Vice President Al Gore lamented on Tuesday that scientists “won’t let us yet” link tornadoes to climate change.
Gore alluded to last month’s devastating twister in Moore, Okla., saying that shoddy historical statistics are preventing a connection between “these record-breaking tornadoes and the climate crisis.”

“Is this the same Bradley who was involved in an exchange of emails with the chief rogue scientist, Phil Jones, of the Climategate scandal? The topic pertained to “hiding the decline” in global temperatures. This Bradley was also associated with the infamous Michael Mann “hockey stick”, which was used by the UN’s IPCC to promote the anthropogenic, global-warming hoax.”

Survivorship Bias
People walking by the apartment at the time had no idea that four stories above them some of the most important work in applied mathematics was tilting the scales of a global conflict as secret agents of the United States armed forces, arithmetical soldiers, engaged in statistical combat. Nor could people today know as they open umbrellas and twist heels on cigarettes, that nearby, in an apartment overlooking Morningside Heights, one of those soldiers once effortlessly prevented the United States military from doing something incredibly stupid, something that could have changed the flags now flying in capitals around the world had he not caught it, something you do every day.

Canada’s Left Okay with Corruption
The Toronto Star reported a story about the federal Tories crackdown on government employees abusing their sick days. One might think that there would widespread support for this initiative. Not amongst readers of the Star:
Trying to deflect the focus from the messes & corruption that the Conservatives can’t seem to make go away these days by going after the workers won’t work this time. It will have a direct effect on the morale of those workers and that might effect how well services we tax payers need get done. Clean up your own house first.
This is nothing more than using a wedge issue to deflect from the senate scandal. ooooh people hate unions, let’s make them the enemy. Please people, don’t let this idiocy allow the senate scandal to take a back seat. Don’t allow them to manipulate you and prove them right in thinking we’re so stupid.
The Leftists in our country will stop at nothing to support their public sector comrades. Is there not one thing a government employee could do that would offend these folks?
