Blacklock’s- Thievery Out Of Hand: Telus

Telus said three provinces – British Columbia, Alberta and Québec – have seen a 35 percent increase in copper theft over the past year. “When this occurs service is disrupted, putting the safety of Canadians at risk,” wrote Telus.

“In 2023 alone Calgary saw a 400 percent increase in major copper thefts and vandalism leaving thousands of customers without landline, internet and cable services,” said the petition. “In Québec, when thieves damaged fibre cables thinking they were copper, the North Shore region lost connectivity impacting internet and mobile service, government agencies and small business customers. In B.C., Surrey and Mission are regular targets.”

US Navy Oiler Runs Aground, Forcing Carrier Strike Group to Scramble for Fuel;

gCaptain has received multiple reports that the US Navy oiler USNS Big Horn ran aground yesterday and partially flooded off the coast of Oman, leaving the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group without its primary fuel source.

First reported on the gCaptain forum and by maritime historian Sal Mercogliano, a leaked video and photos show damage to the ship’s rudder post and water flooding into a mechanical space. US Navy vessels don’t typically transmit AIS signals, so we don’t know the exact location of the ship but a Navy source confirms she is anchored near Oman awaiting a full damage assessment.

Fortunately, no injuries or environmental damage have been reported for the ship. This is significant because the 33-year-old vessel is one of the single-hull versions of the Kaiser-class oilers.

BTW, John Konrad is a good X follow on all matters shipping.

Blacklock’s- Gov’t Polls On Meatless Diets

In-house Privy Council researchers have polled Canadians’ willingness to adopt a vegetarian diet for the sake of climate change. Only seven percent of people surveyed identified themselves as vegetarian or vegan.

A United Nations report Healthy Diets For A Healthier Planet blames livestock, poultry and seafood production for emitting greenhouse gases. “Red meat, dairy and farmed shrimp are generally associated with the highest greenhouse gas emissions,” said Healthier Planet. “This is because meat production often requires extensive grasslands which is often created by cutting down trees.”

National Post;

The Parti Québécois (PQ), headed for government, is promising another referendum. The gathering storm demands attention.

In the 2018 Quebec provincial election the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) handed the PQ an historic defeat, reducing it to just 10 seats. The decades-long debate over Quebec’s place in Canada was widely assumed to have been settled, at least for this generation. But six years later the PQ is ahead in polls and its charismatic young leader promises to hold a referendum on sovereignty if elected. If an election were held today, the PQ would likely form a majority government.

Sorry guys. We didn’t make the new rules, but those are the new rules.

“Varma boasted about harassing people into submission over the vaccine mandate and admitted to participating in illegal sex parties, all while he, former Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi, and then-Mayor Bill de Blasio imposed draconian measures that shut down the entire city,” the Queens Democrat said.

“The hypocrisy is outrageous.”

Varma’s seamy chats — which included him boasting, “I did all this deviant, like sexual stuff,” and, “I had to be kind of sneaky about it … because I was running the entire COVID response in the city” — were made public last week by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

Lockdown Hangovers

Let Them Eat Taser nannystate Safe and Effective 16 Comments

The economic damage caused by the lockdowns was bad enough and obvious to most, but there’s another side to that travesty that is less talked about.

The lockdown babies are now starting school, and the impact of their extraordinary early days is stark. “There’s a school in Birmingham where more than half the children entering [Reception] were still wearing nappies,” says Paskins. “Before the pandemic there might have been one or two. Now more than half have that developmental delay, and what that means in terms of how children are able to learn and function.”

The other thing that was really bad about Covid and the lockdown was that we were threatened with the idea that if we passed it on to somebody, we’d almost be responsible for their death. It just made life so miserable.”

She adds: “A lot of people have never really quite recovered. I would say it took me at least two years, and even now lots of my friendships are impacted.”

Politico- From dire to iconic: 6 times European leaders tried to make the power hoodie work

There’s a new entry in the world of political fashion statements: The humble hoodie.

In a world where a politician’s public image can make or break them, what they choose to wear can hold great significance. The hoodie — once the preferred attire of hip-hop artists, skateboarders and Silicon Valley tech bros — is now a staple in the wardrobes of world leaders, from the French president to the ex-British prime minister.

But who wore it best? And who should’ve left it on the hanger? We’ve pulled together a totally scientific sartorial analysis.
