One BC First Nation standing in the way of another’s development of LNG terminal
The Nisga’a signed one of the first modern treaties in 1999, and is well on its way to making a final decision next year on the development of a multi-billion dollar LNG facility, with the backing of numerous natural gas producers, including Crescent Point Energy. But its neighbouring First Nation, the Lax Kw’alaams, are standing in the way. In the meantime, the world isn’t waiting and another opportunity for Canadian LNG is going down the tubes (posted last week).
Also: Senator Pamela Wallin was doing video interviews decades before Zoom existing. Last week she spoke to Pipeline Online editor and owner Brian Zinchuk regarding electrification, EVs, fuel economy, nuclear power, heat pumps, carbon tax and whole lot more.
Speaking of which, the Epoch Times picked up Zinchuk’s recent column on five year plans for the “Just Transition.” Since that publication’s driving purpose is to fight against the Chinese Communist Party, they might know a thing or two about how five year plans went there.
When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose.
January, 2023: The Justice Department’s probe into the Capitol attack is entering its third year, with hundreds more arrests in the pipeline.
November, 2023: Thousands of vials of biological substances — including some labeled “HIV” — and a freezer marked “Ebola” were found inside a secret Chinese-owned biolab in California which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FBI initially refused to investigate, according to a House committee report released Wednesday.
Huh. Maybe the Chinese knew more than they were letting on when they alleged Wuhan flu originated in the US.
We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
Electric vehicle subsidies to date will cost taxpayers up to $50 billion and counting including debt financing charges, says a Budget Office report. The figure is triple the value of annual production of the entire Canadian auto sector
But of course.
Windsor police force says it’s anticipating 1,600 people from S Korea to arrive in 2024.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords
Write a short script on OpenAI as as a daytime soap opera, with lead characters Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever as star crossed lovers.
Meltdown watch: 500 employees of OpenAI have signed a letter saying they will quit unless the board resigns and Sam Altman and Greg Brockman are reinstated.
More:
Time will tell but this seems a lot like they may have just acquired OpenAI in a roundabout way. If all talent leaves OpenAI to work for Sam at Microsoft then it’s going to cripple OpenAI. Microsoft has only paid a small part of their $10B investment into OpenAI as well and some think they’ll sue to kill the deal over Sam’s removal.

Earthquake In Argentina
Argentina elected libertarian outsider Javier Milei as its new president on Sunday, rolling the dice on an outsider with radical views to fix an economy battered by triple-digit inflation, a looming recession and rising poverty.
Official results have not been released, but his rival, Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, conceded in a speech. His candidacy was hampered by the country’s worst economic crisis in two decades while he has been at the helm.
Milei is pledging economic shock therapy. His plans include shutting the central bank, ditching the peso, and slashing spending, potentially painful reforms that resonated with voters angry at the economic malaise, but sparked fears of austerity in others.[…]
Milei is also staunchly anti-abortion, favors looser gun laws and has called Argentine Pope Francis a socialist “son of a bitch”. He used to carry a chainsaw in a symbol of his planned cuts but shelved it in recent weeks to help boost his moderate image.

From Symptoms to Causes- Covid Vaccination in Iceland: A Failed Experiment
Only 20 lives potentially saved in Iceland by Covid-19 vaccination, while 60-70 may have been lost from it. Catastrophe for the fully vaccinated, covered up by lumping them up with the unvaccinated.
Scratch A Leftist
UC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky is shocked, shocked at the amount of antisemitism present throughout elite academia.
Obviously, he hasn’t been reading my blog. Over 20 years ago I was running a series of posts tagged “Berkeley Hatewatch Update,” tracking hateful and antisemitic behavior at UC Berkeley. […]
So even in Chemerinsky’s own backyard, the signs have been there continuously for basically the entire 21st Century to date. If Chemerinsky read my blog, he’d have known about happenings there, and elsewhere throughout the higher education world, that apparently are news to him.
Well, to be fair, deans have more important things to do than read blogs. On the other hand, well, welcome to the party, pal. Pointing out the flourishing, toleration, and even encouragement of antisemitism in the higher education sector has largely been the function of “right wing” outlets. Mainstream and left-wing media (but I repeat myself) have had little desire to air the dirty laundry in public. And, anyway, they’re increasingly staffed with recent graduates from elite schools, steeped in Critical Race Theory, “decolonization” talk, and the like, who see this antisemitism (along with prejudice against Asians and “whiteness”) as natural and laudable, instead of as what it is, which is evil and un-American. The truth is that support for antisemitism and mass murder isn’t an aberration for the far left that dominates American campuses now. As Ilya Somin notes, it’s baked in: “It’s rooted in a long history of defending horrific mass murder and other atrocities.”
The ‘M’ Word
On Britain’s NHS, where pretending is everything:
One might think that the employees having babies and therefore on maternity leave are, in fact, by definition, mothers. One might even think that a hospital, and a maternity hospital in particular, is a place where physical realities of this kind would be difficult to avoid.

Soviet Housing
The primary cause of runaway housing costs are zero percent interest rates, but since the concept of net present value seems well beyond the grasp of policy makers, they’ve now decided that the best way to deal with this is to have higher levels of government override decision-making at lower levels. In other words, switch out responsibility for central planning. Another option would be for developers to decide for themselves what housing density is appropriate, but that would be too much like a free market in housing and we can’t have that.
The NDP bill eliminating single-family zoning, the Housing Statutes (Residential Development) Amendments Act, seizes zoning authority from municipalities and transfers it to the province.
Municipalities with a population higher than 5,000 will now have to zone in line with a provincial policy manual.

Can’t help but notice that our public disclosure site listing government contracts has conveniently been down for days now just as we were tracking down companies that received hundreds of millions that appear to barely exist, except on paper.
