Let That Sink In

“Kill Musk’s Twitter”

In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate—whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harris campaign—show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.” Klobuchar’s office declined repeated requests for comment:

The documents obtained by The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket show CCDH’s hyperfocus on Musk — “Kill Musk’s Twitter” is the first item in the template of its monthly agenda notes dating back to the early months of this year.

Pipeline Of Losses

It’s somewhat ironic that the NDP are criticizing a government agency for losing money, but maybe that’s just a bug in their code, not a feature. I’m sure they’ll correct the error soon.

Trans Mountain Corporation CEO Mark Maki said the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was “worth the cost” in a Monday appearance in Ottawa, even with the inflated price tag of $34 billion.

NDP MP Charlie Angus said he couldn’t square the pipeline’s high purported resale value with the fact that it’s currently selling product at a loss to attract customers.

Angus speculated that the federal government was using a subsidiary “shell company”, TMP Finance Ltd., to hide the project’s losses.

Montreal Gazette- More Quebecers than ever waiting past acceptable delay for breast cancer surgery

In general, though, wait times for all types of surgery — not just for cancer and not only waits beyond acceptable delays — have been rising steadily in the past four years. At present, more than 162,000 Quebecers are languishing on wait lists for elective (or non-urgent) surgery, including nearly 11,000 who have been waiting for their operation for at least a year.

No Jobs For You!

Eventually we’ll find out, good and hard, where all the EV nonsense leads.

Until last year, she and 150 others built front and rear suspensions for muscle cars produced at an auto assembly plant in Brampton, Ont.

But they all lost their jobs when the plant closed near the end of 2023 for an 18-month retooling so it can produce battery electric, plug-in hybrids or internal combustion engine vehicles.

Even if their former employer, Android Industries, wins a contract to make suspensions for Stellantis when its Brampton plant ramps back up again, they would all need to reapply for their jobs.

“Scottish endarkenment gathers pace”

Telegraph- Elon Musk and JK Rowling mock SNP over list of 24 official genders

The new guidance issued by the Scottish Government also endorsed identities such as “bigender”, meaning a person can have two genders at once, and “autigender”, for those who see their gender “in the context of autism”.

Asked how many genders there were on Monday, Mr Swinney said he had “not changed my view from what I said earlier on”.

It Was a Working Holiday

Blacklock’s- CBCer Defends France Junket

Catherine Tait, $497,000-a year CEO of the CBC, yesterday confirmed she billed taxpayers $1,000 a night to enjoy a five star hotel in Paris in July. Tait said taxpayers would have been concerned if she didn’t attend the Paris Olympics.

“Well I was on holiday,” replied Tait. “That is why I did not ask CBC to pay for my airfare. Nevertheless when I want to the Games I was working on behalf of CBC.”

The Children Meet Their Future

Generation Entitlement crashes into a job market squeeze.

Sana has been no stranger to rejections, as she has applied to hundreds of jobs since getting laid off last year.

“The hiring system is pretty broken,” said Sana, 27, who did not want her last name used because she continues to look for work.

She notes the issues she has faced are not unique to her industry. In fact, she is one of the large number of under-35-year-olds who are driving an increase in the unemployment rate in Canada.

“There’s no loyalty from organizations; they’re not approaching things from a way that’s recognizing the systemic failures that they have, like actually supporting and uplifting young people.”

But wait, there’s more punchline!

Sana, who lives with her family, said she did some unpaid work for a company that specialized in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work before landing her first full-time job there after completing her master’s program.

“It was definitely a role that I learned the most from, but it was also exploitative,” Sana said, explaining that she worked in an fast-paced and demanding environment for little pay and no work-life balance. She said she ended up working long hours, sometimes ending the workday at 8 p.m.

You knew it was coming.

National Post;

Since losing a byelection in the Toronto—St. Paul’s riding, a longtime Liberal stronghold, Trudeau has faced simmering discontent in his caucus, although it hasn’t quite erupted into public view. Some Liberal MPs have been organizing behind-the-scenes to confront Trudeau and urge him to resign, targeting Wednesday’s caucus meeting as the best opportunity to do so.
