“I’ve just flown in from Canada, where they’ve made killing people legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.” *

Employers opposed to assisted suicide should be disqualified from Canada Summer Jobs funding, an advocate has written MPs. The submission to the Commons human resources committee is from the same group that successfully lobbied for denial of funding to pro-life employers: “Regardless of the Canada Summer job, even if it is to mow the lawn, that work gives sustenance to the group’s harmful mandate and activities.”

Corruption or incompetence?

The federal government will stop funding grant applications if the researchers working on them are affiliated with a foreign military, state security entities or certain foreign state actors, citing a need to protect Canadian national security.

Ottawa made the announcement Tuesday evening, and following a report from The Globe and Mail last month that since 2005, 50 Canadian universities have had extensive research collaborations with China’s military. The projects with China’s National University of Defence Technology included areas like quantum cryptography, photonics and space science, the newspaper reported.

Now, Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne says protecting Canadian research is a matter of national security and cited “recent events” when asked about the decision.

11 handguns, 16 rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

The FBI arrested an Oregon trans-indigenous neo-Nazi Latina who allegedly made threats to commit a mass shooting against transphobes and to harm Jews and black people.

Elizabeth Ballesteros West, 56, of Cottage Grove, Ore., was charged with making interstate threatening communications following an FBI investigation and arrest on Jan. 12. In September 2023, law enforcement was alerted after Ballesteros West made a post on Facebook declaring: “…I’m at the end of my rope I’m probably gonna get fired from his job…I’ve had it up to here being bullied by trans phobic assholes I am left with no alternative.

I’m not surprised that the doctor lost patience with this woman, but a Quebec regulatory body views that as a perfectly good reason to discipline him. As per the Jordan Peterson controversy, I expect he’ll have no recourse to the courts.

The doctor said he had never prescribed hormones to someone who wanted to “transform into a gentleman.” He then brought up concerns that the hormone would lead to aggressive behaviour and changes in character, something the patient said was just a stereotype.

During the consultation, doctor and patient started arguing, with the patient reminding the doctor that he is a trans man, and the doctor responding that he is “genetically female” and noting that as far as being a trans man: “That is in your brain.”

Aloha, Electricity

Hello and goodbye;

On January 8, 2024, a confluence of factors forced the Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) to initiate rolling blackouts that affected about 120,000 electricity customers in two dozen communities on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

The blackouts, which lasted from about 7:50 pm until 10:30 pm, were caused by a multitude of factors that we can put into two main categories: the immediate factors that caused blackouts and the long-term factors that made Oahu’s electric grid more vulnerable to blackouts in the first place.

Long story short, the state’s so-called “energy transition” set up the dominos for the power outages, ushering in the first rolling blackouts of 2024.[…]

Daily Sceptic- Arctic Sea Ice Soars to Highest Level for 21 Years

The dramatic, if largely unpublicised, recovery in Arctic sea ice is continuing into the New Year. Despite the contestable claims of the ‘hottest year ever’ (and even hotter in 2024), Arctic sea ice on January 8th stood at its highest level in 21 years. Last December, the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) revealed that sea ice recorded its third highest monthly gain in the modern 45-year record.

Recurrent analyzed the cold-weather behavior of 18 different EVs and found that these batteries performed at about 70% capacity in temperatures below freezing. Obviously, each vehicle is different, but an average of 70% means that some vehicles did much worse. The worst offenders were the Volkswagen 1D4, which lost 46% of its capacity, and the Chevy Bolt, which saw a 42% drop.

What’s the main culprit? It’s drivers and passengers trying to keep warm.

Express- Study discovers biggest cause of ‘alarming surge’ of excess deaths in UK

Research published tomorrow (Sunday) by scientists at Oxford University shows that while cancer and dementia deaths have fallen, deaths from heart and circulatory problems are spiraling. This includes deaths from heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and lung clots.

The scientists say the rise cannot be accounted for by an ageing or growing population.

Notley takes credit for getting rid of coal power, days after the lights almost went out

Climate Cult 36 Comments
After a weekend of power shortages, Notley takes credit for getting rid of coal-fired power and building wind and solar. Because of course she did. Not sure when it was filmed, but there wasn’t a hint of shame that she was largely the cause of what happened over the weekend.

Toothless by design.

On Jan. 1, the Forced Labour and Supply Chain Reporting Law, which aims to curb the importation of goods made through forced labour, came into effect. The law is toothless. It merely requires companies to report on their efforts to keep forced labour out of their supply chains.

The U.S. Congress and the Biden administration, in contrast, passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in 2021. That law compels anyone wishing to import products from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to prove that forced labour was not used.

Since its implementation in June, 2022, more than 6,000 shipments entering the United States have been reviewed under the new law, and more than 2,500 denied entry.

But according to Mehmet Tohti, executive director of the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project, not one shipment from China has been denied entry into Canada on the same grounds.
