Bloomberg- Harley-Davidson Drops Diversity Efforts After Attacks by Anti-DEI Activist

Harley joins Tractor Supply Co., Deere & Co., and competitor Polaris Inc. in scaling back or changing DEI policies following an ongoing campaign by activist Robby Starbuck on social media against what he calls woke corporations. The retreats are part of a broader backlash against corporate DEI that has companies re-examining programs added over the last several years.

Embrace Hollywood!

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore.

The Acolyte will not return for season two, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Lucasfilm has opted not to continue the Disney+ Star Wars series, which aired its season one finale last month.

The Leslye Headland-created show earned respectable reviews from critics, but was panned by audiences, with only 18 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The show was review-bombed from some quarters who perceived it as “woke,” with certain corners of the internet going after Headland, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the series’ diverse group of actors.

“Honestly, I feel sad that people would think that if something were gay, that that would be bad,” Headland told THR in June. “It makes me feel sad that a bunch of people on the internet would somehow dismantle what I consider to be the most important piece of art that I’ve ever made.”

Everything Is Fine

Rob Law;

The day after the DNC endorsed amnesty for human traffickers, the DHS Inspector General confirms that Biden-Harris handed over ~320k unaccompanied alien children back to the traffickers. This is FAR WORSE than the 85k lost UAC previously reported by NYT.

The Inspector General confirms that these migrant children Biden-Harris facilitated being trafficked to the US are now trapped in sex trafficking & forced labor. There is NO plan to locate them & return to home country.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa

Financial Post;

In its monthly update on energy trends, Statistics Canada reported this week that this year, for the first time ever, Canada has become a net importer of electricity. The switchover in our electricity trade balance reveals the shortcomings of an energy strategy that now emphasizes decarbonization over energy security, leaving customers vulnerable to supply shortfalls and higher prices.

Asleep at the switch

There’s a lot going on in Saskatchewan’s lithium sector these days. I’ll have several stories soon. This is a rather significant one:

Lithium in SK, Part 30: Hub City Lithium completes pilot, changes ownership structure, and is drilling near Stoughton

Apparently our federal government is asleep at the switch, because our economy is about to come crashing down on us and they’re in la-la land, allowing the entire rail sector to shut down in less than 24 hours.

Western Canadian Wheat Growers- Rail Strike Shows a Shameful Response By the Federal Government

The Wheat Growers Association has spoken directly with the Minister of Labour on several occasions, only to be told that binding arbitration will not be used. The federal government would rather bring the Canadian economy and our food security to a standstill. There have been more than 12 strikes in the past 14 years.

“It is shocking that the Minister of Labour will not use the tools available to him, including Sec 107 of the Labour Act, to thwart the pending rail strike. It is unprecedented in recent memory, that both railways will be shutdown simultaneously. This government is failing all Canadians, rather than prioritizing our national economy,” stated Gunter Jochum, President.

Blacklock’s- First Data On Military Deaths

The Department of National Defence for the first time acknowledges above-average suicide rates in the armed forces, typically involving women volunteers.

“The number of regular force female suicides was higher with statistical significance from the number expected based on the suicide rate in the Canadian female population,” said a department report. Typical subjects were 33, single, with no combat experience but a history of depression, anxiety disorders and addiction. “There weren’t many who had a history of deployment,” it said.

“It was common for these members to have at least two active mental health problems at the time of death,” said the Report On Suicide Mortality In The Canadian Armed Forces. Suicide rates among men were similar to the national average for civilians, it said.
