New Governor, Same As The Old Governor

Gradually Then Suddenly New Governor 9 Comments

And the return of our old friend, “unexpectedly”.

The Canadian economy lost the most jobs since January 2022, and excluding the pandemic, it’s the largest drop in seven years.

Employment fell by 40,800 positions in July, driven by decreases in full-time work, while the jobless rate held firm at 6.9%, Statistics Canada data showed Friday. The number of job losses surpassed even the most pessimistic projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists.

The monthly decline was concentrated among youth ages 15 to 24, who are usually among the first to experience a labor-market downturn. Their unemployment rate reached 14.6%, the highest since September 2010 outside of the pandemic. The employment rate for youth fell to the lowest since November 1998, excluding the years impacted by Covid-19.

The Canadian labor market failed to sustain its strong momentum from June, when it surprisingly added the most jobs in six months. The Bank of Canada held its policy interest rate at 2.75% for a third straight meeting last week, but said the labor market remains soft, with the unemployment rate rising from 6.6% at the beginning of the year.

“The head of one of Australia’s biggest power retailers has warned that Australia’s energy transition is veering out of control, pointing to a major market disruption that hit New South Wales as evidence of the turmoil. During a week in which NSW agreed to extend the life of the state’s biggest coal plant, Alinta boss Jeff Dimery cited dramatic events in the market earlier in the month to argue the system was in distress.

The Australian Energy Market Operator was forced to step into the NSW market and cap wholesale prices between May 8 and 15 after a series of shocks sent costs into orbit. It’s believed to be only the second time the market operator has had to make such an intervention in NSW — the first being the energy crisis of 2022.”

“He said the energy system was getting more fragile as the addition of new clean sources of power failed to keep pace with the retirement of coal-fired generation.”

DC police commander placed on leave over ‘deliberately’ falsifying crime data;

The police union has accused Pulliam of deliberately falsifying the data, and claimed that police supervisors in the department have been manipulating crime data to make it seem as though violent crime has fallen considerably in the district compared to 2024.

Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said, “When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense. So, instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.”

Pemberton said that command staff at the department is focusing on two categories to get the numbers down: injured person to the hospital and armed with a dangerous weapon.

@AmitSegal;

You may well have seen Fteiha’s photos on your social media feeds: starving children desperately begging for food, empty pots in hand. But what he didn’t capture—and what others did—is the adult men waiting for, and receiving food, mere meters away.

Of course, there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking photos of hungry children, but if they’re standing right next to men who are receiving food, the question has to be asked: why are the photos of the latter not interesting to legacy media?
