Spectator- Why the baby bust matters

Birth rates are tumbling across the world. This isn’t just a tragedy for the growing number of women who have fewer children than they want; below-replacement fertility rates mean that each generation will be smaller than the one before. This could lead to a permanent spiral of decline where the old always outnumber the young.

Spectator- The biggest reason people aren’t having babies? FOMO

…in theory, as society grows richer, people should have more children. Instead, we have fewer, and parenting seems harder than ever.

Why is this? Caplan argues that it is because we have placed many new requirements and expectations on parents that previous generations never had. He contends that parenting has morphed into a suite of ever-changing, high-pressure social obligations – many of which are neurotic, consumerist and status-obsessed, such as saturating your child’s timetable with extracurricular activities to ensure that they are never bored.

Douglas Murray- Who really built this country?

Anyone who has visited Canada or Australia in recent years might have noticed an interesting new tradition. This is the trend for issuing a ‘land acknowledgement’ at the start of any public event. Before discussion gets under way, some bureaucrat or other will get up and note that we are all fortunate enough to be on the land of X, and then garble the name of some not-especially-ancient tribe. The moment gives everyone a feeling of deep meaning and naturally achieves nothing.

So Much For “Public” Pools

eugyppius- Migrants will not stop molesting and assaulting children at swimming pools in the best and most democratic Germany of all time

Stories like this often come in groups, and what set off the present cascade was a particularly grim incident from 22 June in Gelnhausen (Hessen), in which a group of Syrian migrants aged 18 to 28 molested eight or nine underage girls at the local pool. When the girls first complained about what was happening, pool personnel sent them back into the water. After this incident became a nationwide story, the mayor of Gelnhausen, Christian Litzinger (CDU) gave an interview in which he appeared to ascribe the crime to “high temperatures,” which can cause “tempers to flare up.”

Adam Zivo- The Left Thinks Drug Criminalization Is Racist. Minorities Disagree

Notably, Indigenous respondents seemed to be the most anti-drug ethnic group: only 20 percent agreed (weakly or strongly) with the “criminalization is racist” narrative, while 61 percent disagreed. Once again, those who disagreed were much more vehement than those who agreed.

We saw similar outcomes for other minority groups, such as South Asians, Southeast Asians, Latinos, and blacks.

One measure of Canadian exceptionalism might be how much capital we insist on destroying in order to shove harmless trace gases deep into the earth.

He made his announcement at the site of Bow Valley Carbon Cochrane Ltd. northwest of Calgary, where emissions from a natural gas extraction plant are to be stored four kilometres underground. Bow Valley is a partnership between Inter Pipeline Ltd. and Entropy Inc.

It is to receive $10 million to add equipment to the plant, and Hodgson says its emissions reductions will equate to taking more than 12,000 cars of the road a year.

War On Meat

Drain The Swamp War On Meat 8 Comments

Danielle Smith has some asses to kick.

Just messaging to let you know that last week the Government decided to effectively cancel the program that we’ve been supplying Highland beef to you through. They did this by placing a limit on how much beef we can sell and have set this at 3-4 beef per year (we did 25 last year).

After our current licence expires July 2026 the new limit will be in effect. This was done without a change to the Regulations (law), without Legislative debate or oversight, and no engagement with small agriculture producers who participate in this opportunity to sell direct to Albertans.

I spoke directly to Danielle Smith and RJ Sigurdson (Agriculture Minister) at the Okotoks town hall last evening. The Premier looked shocked that this happened and the Ag Minister told us to spend $1 million dollars to build an Abattoir (large provincially inspected slaughterhouse)

If you’d like to continue to have the option of purchasing Highland beef, or buying other meat products directly from farmers the best thing to do is send an email to the Agriculture Minister, his Chief of Staff, the Premier’s office, and your MLA. If your friends and family would like to have the option to purchase meat directly from farmers have them send emails too!

There are your contacts, Alberta. You know what to do.

Spectator- Ofcom still isn’t sure what a woman is

So, to be clear, the regulator thinks the view that man-made carbon emissions are causing global warming is so scientifically robust that broadcasters are under no obligation to present alternative opinions, but the notion that sex is binary, immutable and biological is so contentious that if GB News interviews some heretic who thinks trans women aren’t women it has to interview someone alongside them who thinks they are.
