Crowd reacts to Blackie resigning. And the end of Trudeau’s reign of terror.
Oops
A reader notices: Kate. I think one of the pieces of legislation that died this morning may have been the extension of the year end deadline for not for profit donations
Y2Kyoto: “Those who rule data will rule the entire world.”
Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son famously said “Those who rule data will rule the entire world.” He was talking about computer chips but might as well have been referring to integrated assessment models (IAMs) used in climate science and policy.1
A new paper — van de Ven et al. 2024 or vdV24 — analyzes thousands of climate scenarios produced by IAM modeling groups over the past three decades as the basis for three recent IPCC reports (AR5 2013/2014, SR1.5 2018, AR6 2021/2022). Today I summarize the significance of the data collected by vdV24 for understanding important biases in climate research.
Specifically, the new paper provides insight into how Europe — with less than 10% of global population and about 15% of global GDP — has come to quietly dominate climate science and policy. It turns out that IAMs are an incredibly important base of soft power. Let’s have a look.
Justin Trudeau & Donald Trump on 22 Minutes
Jagmeet Singh’s Press Release on Trudeau’s Resignation
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has issued this press release:
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals let down Canadians. They let you down on home prices. They let you down on health care. They let you down by allowing corporate greed to run wild. Even with the country facing another serious blow to Canadian jobs and our cost of living – this time from Donald Trump – they’re still focused only on themselves and their political fate.
The problem is not just Justin Trudeau. It’s every minister that’s been calling the shots. It’s every Liberal MP that looked down their nose at Canadians who are worried about high costs or crumbling health care. The Liberals do not deserve another chance, no matter who is the leader.
Am I the ONLY Canadian whose jaw hit the table after reading the first sentence?!?
Good Lord! Not The Tampon Law
Tablesalt- By proroguing parliament the Liberal party of Canada WIPED OUT 273 Reports, Bills and Acts. They burned ALL of their work to try and save their own jobs. (one page worth can be seen below)
“None Of The Above”
Imagine
The vast majority of Americans: Imagine a society where there is REAL punishment for crimes.
Democrats: Not on our watch!
The Woke Left: Racism!
Legal Limbo?
Now that Parliament is prorogued, any bill that was in the process of being passed during that session officially dies. That should include the proposed changes to capital gains tax legislation. Nonetheless, I’m receiving mixed messages about that, since it’s my understanding that the Canada Revenue Agency has been acting as if the measures were already law. I’m curious as to what SDA readers been hearing from their accountants.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s move to step down and prorogue parliament has killed a series of changes his government proposed to capital gains.

The Long Good Riddance
Uh oh. The Trudeau announcement has a media Q&A.
That leans toward staying.

Update: No matter how much you hate him, it’s not enough.
Vassy says Trudeau stepping down as Liberal Leader at 10:45. Will remain as PM.
GG has been asked to prorogue House until late March. (Gives House enough time to pass Supply Bill & ensure that govt doesn’t run out of money before April 1).

Dementia Joe’s America: Other candidates for medals. Biden gives a medal to Moderna. The culture war. Victor Davis Hanson – Conspiracies too awful to imagine.
Blackie’s Canada: Two-tier justice in Canada. Government cracks down on Christian charities. White supremacy in Toronto. Taxpayers fund Liberal Party research. And Blackie’s Governor General.
Odds And Ends: Freedom of speech is a threat to democracy in Germany. Nigel and Elon.
UPDATE: International media reacts to Trudeau’s resignation.
This Is My Sad Face, Now Do As I Say
Dear reader, spare a thought for academics rendered tearful by “the undertakings of white people”:
Despite the theatre of “ongoing emotional pain,” the proponents of degree-course “decolonisation” seem quite enthused by their scolding and leverage. Their ability to wring pretentious atonement from fellow players of the game.

Honey, I Finished The Internet
Let Me Correct That Headline
A quarterly periodical recently published an article entitled Ms. Magazine’s Top Feminists of 2024. If they were honest, the title would be: Ms. Magazine’s Most Radical Leftists of 2024. With a circulation of 65,000 and estimated readership of 168,000 woke women & men, it’s clear that their reach is minimal at best. People have simply grown tired of such crap.
“All PMO staff ordered in person, in office, for Monday…”
Is Trudeau resigning or proroguing on Monday?

I really would prefer he stay long enough to give the concession speech he so rightfully earned.
