The Trend is Not Your Friend
The Food Professor- Food Sales Are Telling Us Canada Is Getting Poorer At An Alarming Rate
The gap in GDP per capita between Canada and the United States has widened by 106% since 2015, and this trend shows no signs of reversing. In other words, despite our growing population, Canada is becoming poorer, not richer.
Carbon Tax Day!
First, Quick Dick McDick takes another swipe at the federal carbon tax, from the calving barn.
Then, Senator Pamela Wallin interviews Pipeline Online editor and owner Brian Zinchuk re carbon tax.
And, in an unrelated column, Brian Crossman talks about the significance of washing your work truck. It’s actually pretty important for a number of reasons. Call it “Work Truck Therapy.”
The New Police State
Not only can the Scottish police now charge you with “hate speech” on a wide variety of topics, but they can do so based on criteria that drops any and all pretense of objectivity. It seems that for Scots the best way to avoid prison would be to tape their mouths shut and abandon social media.
Asked whether “misgendering” someone or making a comment about their religion would be a crime the minister replied: “This will be up to Police Scotland. I wouldn’t say misgendering if you say something on social media for example it would be up to Police Scotland to determine.”
Rest assured, however, the police will move heaven and earth to investigate such “high level” crimes:
Just last month the national force said it was no longer able to investigate every “low level” crime, including some cases of theft and criminal damage.
It has, however, pledged to investigate every hate crime complaint it receives.
The Democrat Elites Abandon the Working Class
Megyn Kelly and Batya Ungar-Sargon discuss what has happened to the American Democrat Party. But will the 2024 elections be “fortified”, that is the question.
The Thrill Of Public Transport
Perhaps we can look forward to the issuing of “I am being stabbed” cards. And some “The man next to me is masturbating” cards. It does have the makings of an unhappy board game.
And hey, it’s “a concrete way to deal with an unsafe situation.”

In Obrador’s view any country that would open wide its border, welcome in 10 million foreign nationals, without legal sanction, without audit, without even processing, deserves the contempt he extends. – Victor Davis Hanson

What’s up with renaming an airport to something that sounds like Yosemite Sam swearing or the ramblings of the Swedish Chef? Are the linguists that come up with these names dyslexic?
“The renaming of Sandspit Airport to K’il Kun Xidgwangs Daanaay is a significant step in the collaboration between Canada and the Haida Nation,” said President of the Council of the Haida Nation Gaagwiis (Jason Alsop) in a news release for the announcement.
“Engaging in initiatives like this fosters trust and respect, critical elements in renewing the collective vision of Canada as a nation that includes all of us.”

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC
Is it true that @OmarYKhan, a @CBCNews employee earning $216,000 per year deleted this post claiming how @JustinTrudeau’s $10 daycare saved him over $10,000 last year?
That seems kind of scuzzy.

Happy March Holiday Season
Never fight for a country that hates you.
I have trouble not seeing this tweet as a deliberate Fuck You to normal people.
I’m sure that’s NOT what it is. I’m sure it was designed by multiple highly paid civil servants. And yet it’s indistinguishable from a gratuitous insult, piss-take or indeed satire.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
The cost to consumers of two offshore wind projects expected to support New York’s self-imposed climate goals has more than doubled from their original estimates, which were high to begin with. Developers had threatened to cancel their offshore wind projects without higher prices, citing inflation, supply chain challenges and rising costs driven by the pandemic, Bidenomics and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The agreements, which still need to be finalized, are expected to keep 1,700 megawatts of offshore wind on schedule for 2026. New York wants to reach 70 percent renewable energy by 2030, but to reach that goal—the highest renewable goal in the nation for 2030, the state will need to dump huge costs on its utility customers.
