With all the talk of “stolen land” flying about these days, we need to keep in mind the ideas that gave rise to this non-concept.
…a group of first-year university students at the University of Connecticut were welcomed to their campus via a series of online ‘events’. At one event, students were directed to download an app for their phones. The app allowed students to input their home address, and it would piously inform them from which group of Native Americans their home had been ‘stolen’.
So what can be the harm in acknowledging every morning that Canadians live on stolen First Nations land? The problem is this: if you begin the day by acknowledging that your country, your society, and people of your ancestry are particularly egregious, this is a sure route to self-doubt, impotence and societal failure.

The electorate is largely baked in. We’ve already got all the people who are going to like Donald Trump. Those people are ready to crawl over a San Francisco sidewalk to vote for him in November. And there are a bunch of people who are going to crawl over broken Chardonnay glasses and their cats’ litter boxes to vote for that skanky Dem half-wit and her duty-dodging tampon aficionado partner. We have to focus on the persuadables.

Monetary system analyst Rafi Farber makes a pretty convincing case that a recession is imminent, based on some recent action in the banking system and also by looking at the inverted yield curve (short term interest rates above longer term rates). In a nutshell, the recession occurs not when the yield curve inverts, but after it un-inverts and goes back to its normal upward slope. We’ll know if he’s right or not within a few months. Interestingly, he doesn’t see us bouncing back from this downturn.

It’s a basic principle of economics that price controls negatively affect supply. But apparently that did not occur to the BC government when they decided to clamp down on Airbnb entrepreneurs. That, combined with the tapped out marginal consumer saying no to outrageous hotel and restaurant prices, is having some unpleasant effects.
Kelowna Boat Rentals has been booked solid in past years from July through August, but this year is different.
“Business has definitely been a little down this year. I think it’s mostly because of that Airbnb ban. That seems to be it. It’s kind of a ghost town down here compared to usual,” said Tom Entwistle, manager at Kelowna Boat Rentals.
“Last year was slightly slower, but we were still pretty much fully booked every day, and then this year we are at about 70 per cent capacity during the weekdays,” said Entwistle.

The speed of change has been mesmerising. Indeed, lacking any real sense of overarching identity, the need to impose a sense of community has become paramount. Whether locally or indeed, as we see, nationally, never have we heard the word community so bandied about. But it’s all pretend, really. Community was never talked about before, simply because it didn’t have to be.
