Has Canada Descended Down a Totalitarian Black Hole?

This article, from wannabe PPC candidate, Meghan Murphy, is very disturbing:

My candidacy was confirmed officially on Tuesday. That same day, I tried to access my bank account and could not. I contacted my bank, Vancity, and was informed the account had been frozen as per direction from the government. I had accessed my account just two days prior, so the timing was clear. I had not been informed of this freezing by anyone — not the bank, not the government. No one attempted to contact me. I was completely blindsided.

When I contacted my bank they refused to give me any information beyond the fact they were following government orders, and they gave me a number and name to contact. I called the number, and got a voicemail saying the employee was on vacation all week. So basically this guy froze my bank account and immediately went on vacation.

The Liberal government will not talk about this. Neither will the Conservatives. If Liberal supporters were polled about whether they support the bank accounts of Canadians being frozen, is there any doubt they would be entirely on board, with responses like, “The government knows best. There must be a good reason.” It would be nice to think that Conservative supporters would be outraged but in 2025, who knows.

Canada has now joined the infamous club of the UK, France, Germany, and Romania, where political candidates with different views than the “official narrative” are being marginalized or worse. These are no long real democracies. You can pretend otherwise, but they’re simply not.

Sinking Funds

If these goofs would bother to examine the history Port Nelson, it failed as a port because the river silted in almost as fast as it could be dredged. Even with dredging, ships could only dock at high tide. But there’s no limit to the futile experiments you can fund when taxpayers are on the hook.

Construction started but was marred by building challenges due to violent winter storms that beached supply ships and badly damaged the dredge used to deepen the waters around the port.

By 1918, the project was abandoned.

Lore sees using modern technology at Port Nelson including dredging or extending a floating wharf to overcome the challenges that stopped the project from proceeding more than a century ago.

Art Of The Deal

Zerohedge;

To begin the week, we highlighted a potential breaking point emerging in the global economy due to the escalating tariff war: Chinese plastics manufacturers—heavily reliant on U.S. petrochemicals—now face production halts as shipments are increasingly being diverted from the world’s second-largest economy.

Bloomberg cites new ship-tracking data showing that a very large gas carrier hauling U.S. propane has diverted from its initial destination in China to a new port of call in Japan.

The data showed that BW Gemini is hauling 46,000 tons of propane from the U.S. The gas tanker left Phillips 66 Freeport LPG Export Terminal in late March and was initially headed for Yantai, China. However, in recent days, while traversing the Pacific Ocean, the port of call was changed to Imari, Japan. […]

Chinese plastics factories that depend on a gas they mainly import from the U.S. are contending with the prospect of widespread shutdowns as the world’s two largest economies bunker down for a prolonged trade war

The note titled “Chinese Plastics Factories Face Mass Closure As US Ethane Supply Evaporates” focused on ethane, a petrochemical feedstock to produce ethylene, one of the most critical building blocks in modern manufacturing.

“Democracy”

Blacklock’s- Wide Variance In Riding Size

New figures from Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault show a wide variance in the number of voters in federal ridings, a difference of 90,000 or more in some cases. The latest revisions under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act were to ensure each vote carried the same weight with exceptions in extraordinary cases.

“I have determined the number of names appearing on the revised lists of electors for each electoral district,” Perrault wrote in a legal notice. The most sparsely populated riding in the nation, Labrador, has 19,893 voters. The largest constituency, Niagara South, Ont., has 112,960 voters.

Maryland Man

Deported ‘Maryland man’ championed by Dems was pulled over driving car belonging to human smuggler

More: During that 2022 traffic stop, Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t just out for a joyride. He was transporting eight other individuals on a shady cross-country trip from Texas to Maryland. His excuse? They were supposedly headed to do “construction work.” No tools, no luggage—just bodies in a car. Sounds legit, right?

This Is CNN

They still haven’t figured out which questions should not be asked.
