The “Nonpartisan” Bank of Canada
Blacklocks- “Enjoy” Pre-Election Rate Cut
Canadians should enjoy a pre-election rate cut, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said yesterday. The Bank lowered its key rate on interbank loans to 2023 levels.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland celebrated the rate cut as “a moment for us to enjoy,” adding: “Canada is the first G7 country where interest rates have been lowered. Our economic plan is working and that is really welcome news for Canada.”

A Midwestern Doctor- The Price of Truth vs. Deception In Healthcare
Throughout the pandemic, I could see what was happening was wrong, but because of the immense power the (pharmaceutically sponsored) media holds, regardless of what I tried, I was powerless to stop what was in motion. Then in early 2022, a breakthrough happened for me—despite being a completely unknown entity, Steve Kirsch on a hunch agreed to promote an article I thought was important for the COVID vaccine movement, and before I knew it, I had a large platform which had at last given the ability to do something about the disaster that was unfolding.

Blacklocks- Budget Bill Targets The Blind
Bill C-69 the Budget Implementation Act includes a rewrite of the Alternative Minimum Tax Act, section 127.52.l.j that denies 50 percent of deductions for the cost of purchasing essential equipment by the blind. “You can scratch your head and say, why are we targeting these particular measures?” asked Nikolakakis, partner with EY Law LLP of Toronto.
The bill cuts deductions for blind taxpayers “for the cost of a device or equipment including synthetic speech systems, Braille printers and large print on-screen devices prescribed by a medical practitioner and designed to be used by blind individuals in the operation of a computer,” said Nikolakakis.
Arrivecan’t
Blacklocks- ArriveCan Files Were Deleted
Auditors tracking irregularities in the $59.5 million ArriveCan program have complained they’ve been unable to find key records including thousands of emails on Doan’s laptop. Doan testified he mistakenly corrupted the files while trying to replace a battery.
The incident occurred in 2023 while ArriveCan investigations were underway. The committee has been told more than 1,000 records were lost. “How many emails?” asked Liberal MP Parm Bains (Steveston-Richmond East, B.C.). “I couldn’t tell you,” replied Doan.
I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords
Everything new is old again.
We’re in a situation similar to the dotcom bust of 2000. The internet is definitely transformative, but real change takes time—it doesn’t happen overnight. The internet didn’t really take off until smartphones became affordable and people could access it from anywhere. I mean pets.com reached $400 million valuation while selling products at about ~60% loss. The only reason pets.com reached this valuation was the internet trend stick that was slapped onto it. Exactly what we are seeing with the AI bumper sticker companies are slapping onto their company.
Look at the # companies saying AI in earning calls. Just following the herd and using buzzwords to generate stock interest.

Google Commemorative Logos You’ll Never See
A six-year span of internal Google reports, unearthed by 404 Media, exposes a troubling array of privacy breaches affecting everything from children’s voice data to the home addresses of unsuspecting carpool users.
These breaches include making YouTube recommendations based on users’ deleted watch histories. These issues, though not widely known or impactful on a large scale, reveal the complex challenges faced by one of the tech world’s behemoths.
Afraid Of The People
It is past time for the media and Democrats to drop the ruse of Biden’s neutrality and admit that they are terrified of the people in November and so are conniving to silence them. – Victor Davis Hanson
We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
Governor Youngkin today announced the end of the California electric vehicle mandate in Virginia, effective at the end of 2024 when California’s current regulations expire. An official opinion from Attorney General Jason Miyares in response to a request by the Governor and Senate Republican Leader Ryan McDougle confirms that Virginia is not required to comply with expansive new mandates adopted by the unelected California Air Resources Board (CARB) set to take effect January 1, 2025.
“Once again, Virginia is declaring independence – this time from a misguided electric vehicle mandate imposed by unelected leaders nearly 3,000 miles away from the Commonwealth,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “The idea that government should tell people what kind of car they can or can’t purchase is fundamentally wrong. Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses. The law is clear, and I am proud to announce Virginians will no longer be forced to live under this out-of-touch policy.”
“Today, I’ve issued an official Attorney General Opinion that confirms that Virginians are no longer legally bound to follow the emission standards of California,” said Attorney General Jason Miyares. “EV mandates like California’s are unworkable and out of touch with reality, and thankfully the law does not bind us to their regulations. California does not control which cars Virginians buy and any thoughts that automobile manufacturers should face millions of dollars in civil penalties rather than allowing our citizens to choose their own vehicles is completely absurd.”

Disconnected Justice
If this doesn’t signify an out-of-control legal system, I don’t know what would.
The son of former BC Liberal MLA Judi Tyabji will not go to jail for sexual interference of a person under 16.
Edelmann said he took into account pre-sentencing reports that claimed Tyabji-Sandana had suffered intergenerational trauma, poverty and disconnection from his Indigenous roots. The report said that his maternal grandfather was Metis-Cree and his paternal grandmother a Metis woman who became an alcoholic after suffering physical and sexual abuse in an Indian residential school. Tyabji-Sandana’s biological father was not involved in his childhood.
