Honey, I Finished The Internet
“In the heart of New York State is this unregistered, illegal 2024 underground Speakeasy.
Canadian Exceptionalism
Not to worry. This provides a golden opportunity for the Bank of Canada to get interest rates down to the good old days of zero. If that doesn’t work, Justin can always blame Trump.
Canada had 1.5 million unemployed people in November, propelling its jobless rate to a near-eight-year high outside of the pandemic era and boosting chances of a large interest rate cut on Dec. 11.
…the youth unemployment rate for those aged between 15 and 24 years was the biggest contributor at 13.9 per cent.
Busy News Day: Focus on New York City
There are a ton of things happening in the news today, with several big events occurring in NYC. Here’s something to get the discussion started. Please chime in with your thoughts.
To Be Fair, They’re Out Of Touch With Reality In General
Fraser Institute- Federal government out of touch with economic reality in Canada

National Post- Canadian special forces spy plane unit sees staff exodus
A lack of leadership and training opportunities sparked an exodus of most of the specialists needed to operate a new fleet of military surveillance aircraft, an internal Canadian Forces investigation found.
Pop Guns For Putin
National Post- The most nonsensical Trudeau gun ban yet
So, if you were legitimately rounding up a bunch of guns “designed for the battlefield,” it would be very strange if that list contained a bunch of firearms chambered in .22 caliber.
But this one does. Most notably, the list includes the GSG-16, a .22- caliber “plinker” rifle that is occasionally sold in pink. There’s also several guns made to look like famous military rifles, but which have the very non-military capability of firing .22 bullets one at a time.

And now today’s episode of Canada’s bail system. Or diversity is our strength.
Trump’s Resounding Victory Has Broken Robert Reich’s Brain
Tears are flowin’ over at Robert Reich’s home:
The media has it all wrong about Trump’s picks for his administration. The conventional view is they’re “Trump loyalists” whom Trump “recruited”.
Rubbish.
First, they’re not loyalists; they’re subservient hacks.
There’s a crucial difference.
All politicians want their underlings to be loyal, but Trump wants them to be more loyal to him than to the nation, and he demands total subservience without regard to right or wrong.
The case for, yes for, big wind at Weyburn
I worked on this story for many days with one of the proponents whose family will account for around half of the land assembly for the project. The number was initially a lot higher but the project has been changed and adapted. He has some strong points in favour of wind development, and they should be heard.
This is what they call “journalism,” as in telling multiple sides of a story. And no one else is writing in depth stories like this in Saskatchewan.
That being said, I have another wind story about a great day of wind production in Alberta on Sunday – 74 per cent output. That’s four orders of magnitude better than it was at noon precisely seven days before. But that also caused pool prices to hit zero for 12 hours.
Again, I point out the problem with no one making money is no one is making money. That’s unsustainable. And the proposed reforms in Alberta will make it much worse, by introducing negative pricing. Ridiculous! Nothing with intrinsic value should ever be zero. Ever.

A Day In The Life
What Modern Socialists Don’t Want You to Know About Hitler
I recently discovered John Papola, who hosts a great podcast on YouTube called Dad Saves America. A few weeks ago, he interviewed German historian & sociologist, Dr. Rainer Zitelmann about Hitler and the true meaning of national socialism.

Telegraph- Inside the awe-inspiring new Notre-Dame, the pride of Paris once again
Even before dozens of head of state, world dignitaries and monarchs were ushered into Notre-Dame for Saturday’s great reopening ceremony, five years after the devastating fire, The Telegraph was taken on a tour of the Gothic masterpiece whose epic reconstruction at a cost of £800 million is the pride of France.
Weird How That Works
“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
That quote comes from Lord John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, who lived between 1834 and 1902.
Here’s a great interview with David Sacks, who will be Trump’s new AI and Crypto Czar and Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He is one of a few openly non-Woke tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
Update: In the comments, Joe Butson recommends the All-In podcast, featuring David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, and other interesting folks.
