We’re All In This Together

MikesMoneyTalks.ca- So painfully full of it. Right now in BC the NDP is sending cancer patients to private clinics in Washington State. Numeorus NDP cabinet ministers have used the private Cambie Street Surgery Centre, which was established at the urging of the NDP in order to allow union workers to avoid the public system wait lists.

As an MP you join federal prisoners, military RCMP in using private clinics – as did former CAW head Buzz Hargrove to get knee surgery in a week in a private clinic while the average Cdn waits over a year in the public system. 17,032 patients died waiting for diagnostic scans and surgery in 2022-23 – but not one connected politician. They don’t wait b/c they use private clinics.

Your ideology is dangerous to Cdns health.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

The German-Chinese Lab and the HIV Inserts

Theories of a lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 have largely focused on the presence in the genome of the famous furin cleavage site. Less attention has been paid to other anomalies and, in particular, the presence of the so-called HIV inserts first flagged by the Indian research team Pradhan et al. in late January 2020 and quickly dismissed as untenable conspiracy mongering. Thus, when an Anglosphere group of scientists around Kristian Andersen came to Anthony Fauci at almost exactly the same time with their concerns that the virus had been engineered, their focus was on the furin cleavage site and they took great pains to distance themselves from Pradhan et al. and the HIV inserts.

But is that because they did not view them as anomalous or rather because they were worried that the implications of the anomaly were too shocking to be pursued? The content of their FOIA’d e-mails and Slack messages makes clear that it is the latter. They too saw the anomaly, but they did not want to talk about it, since, as Edward Holmes put it, in both a February 4th 2020 e-mail to Jeremy Farrar and a Slack group message on the same day, “this will make us look like loons”.

Putting herself ahead of the planet.

Telegraph- My eco-warrior husband wants me to refuse gas and air during labour

While it had never been top of my agenda, I was happy to follow his example – swapping all our cleaning products for eco alternatives, using our bikes to get around and then more recently swapping out the diesel car for an electric one.

However, at a recent antenatal class when we learnt about baby delivery options my husband announced that there was no way I would have gas and air during labour because of the impact on the environment. I laughed out loud when he said it, assuming he was joking.

What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?

University.

Over a decade ago, I wrote a short book titled The Higher Education Bubble, which was followed by a much longer one called The New School, and a significantly longer and updated paperback version called The Education Apocalypse.

In all of these books I explained, with increasing amounts of detail and examples, why I thought that the existing system of higher education in America was doomed. Not that higher education itself would cease to exist, but that the standard model of college, graduate, and professional education that had obtained since the passage of the G.I. Bill, and in many ways since the late 19th Century, would largely cease to exist. This was due to a combination of out-of-control costs and loss of prestige.

So is the apocalypse now? Maybe. At the very least, we’re at some sort of a turning point.

Meet The New Commies, Same As The Old Commies

Andy Gno;

Blaming outsiders was a left-wing tactic when the 2020 George Floyd riots burned down neighborhoods and killed people.

But those weren’t and aren’t outsiders.

These are people on their side, in their movement, with similar goals.

From the immediate hours after Oct. 7, Nazi imagery, leftist justifications and Islamic extremism have been at protests’ forefront.[…]

Today’s anti-Israel extremism is part of the same moving train that drove violence in 2020, the anti-MAGA riots before that and the campus social-justice craze before that.

In fact, the people and tactics are largely the same.

Build a pipeline, things pick up. Who woulda thunk it?

Anyone think that new pipeline might actually make a real difference? Hmmm? Too bad it wasn’t done five years ago. Trans Mountain pipeline project ushers in new era for oilsands hub Fort McMurray.

And too bad Northern Gateway wasn’t built 8 years ago. And Energy East was supposed to be in service December, 2018. Lots of too bads. I wonder why…

So I take my kid to a career day in Estevan, THE ENERGY CITY, and not one energy company has a table at the career fair. Here’s my not too impressed column about it.

Cenovus got spanked for an offshore oil spill.

And if you move dirt, ever, in Saskatchewan, you should be aware of Sask 1st Call. They had some big changes last year, apparently.

Great Success!

Telegraph- How Canada’s energy experiment backfired – and why smart meter Britain is next

Ross Anderson, Professor of Security Engineering at the University of Cambridge, said that Ontario’s system proved to be a “mad idea” that failed to change behaviour en masse.

“People were not prepared to change their electricity consumption to save a few pence. This was always a mad idea that was never ever going to work. People just didn’t care and it didn’t move the needle at all,” he said.
