Steven Guilbeault hardest hit.
What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?
You’re a man who serves as Chairman of the Board of a large University who led the search for the recently hired president.
Your wife runs a non-profit in the DEI space. She is the only full-time employee of the organization, serving as Founder, CEO, and CFO. You serve as Treasurer. The non-profit ostensibly sells two principal products in the DEI space:
1. “Evidence-based ‘how-to-guides’ and
2. “The most comprehensive intersectional analytics platform of its kind…”but the non-profit has no revenues. It relies entirely on contributions to fund its operations, which principally consist of your wife’s salary and some other ancillary overhead.
There have been only two contributors to the non-profit, the University whose board you chair, which has contributed:
2018 $100,000
2019 $300,000
2020 $150,000
2021 $600,000
2022 $789,000
Guilbeault thinks he’s getting his wish. Is he?
“We reached a historic consensus to move away from fossil fuels in energy systems,” Guilbeault’s statement on the conclusion of COP28, verbatim.
And the Canadian Press version:
Guilbeault hails ‘monumental’ COP28 deal, others warn of ‘dangerous distractions’
Also:

And since it’s the Christmas season, and Die Hard IS a Christmas movie, here’s a little Hans Gruber. Notice any resemblance to anyone? And if you don’t think Die Hard is a Christmas movie, fight me! Yippee Kai Yay, …

Creepy Joe Biden
The Libranos: Money For Nothin
The Venezuela Effect: The secret to Trudeau’s hold on power is to flood the zone with so much incompetence and corruption that the nation surrenders in defeat.
Cabinet budgeted $37.4 million and spent a quarter of it on a gun buyback program without buying any guns, records show. Newly disclosed figures follow an internal Department of Public Safety report that warned the program was prone to “wasted time, energy and funds.”

It’s Not Like They Set Up Bouncy Castles On Israeli Territory
National Post- Canada’s UN ceasefire vote reveals what we’ve become — undependable, unprincipled and foolish
The vote on Tuesday was yet another attempt to isolate and pressure Israel, and this time Canada colluded.
Politics is the art of the possible and at the UN not much is possible. Not much was ever changed by a vote by the general assembly.
It hardly needs to be said that the call for a ceasefire is a delusion. Even if Israel recognized the point made by Canada’s Global Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, that its actions “only enhance the cycle of violence,” with whom would it negotiate a signed agreement?
A Riddle of History
Allah Has Spoken
Times of Israel- Turkish MP has heart attack moments after saying Israel will ‘suffer Allah’s wrath’
Hasan Bitmez, 53, of the conservative Felicity Party, delivered an address at the General Assembly of the Turkish parliament, ending it by saying that “we can perhaps hide from our conscience but not from history,” and by addressing the Jewish state: “You will not escape the wrath of Allah.”
He then said, “I salute you all,” immediately before collapsing to the ground at the podium, with his head hitting the floor.

GB News- Covid: Return of lockdown measures backed by extraordinary number of people
The question asked was “Currently, there are no legal Covid-19 restrictions in place in the UK. Thinking of the current health situation in the UK, would you support or oppose the Government re-introducing each of the following Covid-19 restrictions at the current time?”
Polling revealed 45 per cent supported, with 16 per cent saying they strongly supported, having to wear face masks on public transport, with eight per cent strongly supporting the rule of six, limiting the amount of people who can meet outside.
The poll found that 51 per cent of those asked who voted for Labour in the 2019 General Election supported the reintroduction of masks being worn on public transport. 41 per cent opposed it.
This is contrasted to the Conservatives, with 45 per cent supporting the restriction for masks on public transport being brought in, against 52 who were opposed to it.

The latest sexual orientation to be recognized by the Canadian Medical Association Journal is ‘greysexuality,’ a relatively new subset of asexuality.
Originally published on Dec. 4, the paper featured in Canada’s top medical journal discussed greysexuality as defined as someone who is “experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.”
Demisexual and greysexual people can still “engage in sex and experience romantic attraction,” according to the article, which was co-authored by Stella A. Schneckenburger, Michelle W.Y. Tam and Lori E. Ross
The term was part of an article on asexuality, which is an umbrella term for those who only form a sexual attraction to someone after their emotional needs are met or for those who are greysexual.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa
A major power grid operator that oversees electricity supplies across the mid-Atlantic repeated its warning that the looming shutdown of a coal-fired power plant in Baltimore will threaten the region’s grid reliability and may have devastating impacts on consumers.
In a follow-up letter obtained by FOX Business this week, PJM Interconnection warned the shutdown of the Brandon Shores coal power plant is slated to occur before replacement power sources can come online, resulting in “degraded grid reliability” for more than 1 million state consumers, including the entire city of Baltimore.
Now pay close attention, because this is where the math comes in.
PJM is preparing for significant impacts to the grid from additional demand that includes up to 7,500 MW of new data centers to be sited in Virginia and Maryland. This is combined with widespread effects from the deactivation of more than 11,000 MW of generation across the PJM footprint.
