Climate Cult There Goes The Narrative Y2Kyoto 22 Comments

Quelle surprise that more and more Canadians are coming to the conclusion that changing the weather 200 years into the future is not worth a life of penury. Most of us at SDA came to that conclusion the moment carbon taxes were introduced, but it’s too bad it has taken this long for enough Canadians to realize that this was never a win/win proposition to begin with.

Now, when Canadians are asked to rank their top concerns, the top spot is a duel between “economy” and “cost of living” — with climate change lucky if it can crack the top five.

Carbon pricing was broadly popular when Trudeau took office; one survey had 56 per cent of Canadians supporting a price on emissions. As support has dwindled, it’s dropped in almost perfect tandem with the rate of Canadians actually paying the carbon tax.

This was most dramatic in Atlantic Canada, where good feelings on carbon pricing screeched to a halt on July 1 when it became the country’s last region added to the federal carbon pricing scheme.

Israel Arrests NBC journalist: On October 7, Al-Azza put up posts on her personal Facebook account allegedly supporting Hamas terrorism. She wrote on the kidnapping of an elderly woman from a Gaza border community, “It’s killing me, it’s a black comedy, the old woman looks happy, a bit of action before she dies.” […] In another post, she wrote: “Sirens all the time, the Jews are hiding and the Arabs are out drinking coffee on their balconies.” In yet another post, she wrote: “I feel like I’m watching a movie where the director is Palestinian and the protagonists are from Gaza.”

Female boxer withdraws from Canadian tournament after being told her rival was transgender with an hour’s notice, leaving her fearing for her safety:

Dr. Katia Bissonnette, from Saguenay, claims she was given just an hour’s notice she was being matched with transgender fighter Mya Walmsley last month.

The two had been due to face off in the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship in Victoriaville, Quebec.

But Bissonnette withdrew at the last second after learning the identity of her opponent, resulting in Walmsley being declared the winner by default as they could not find anyone else to take her position in the same weight class.

‘Women shouldn’t have to bear the physical and psychological risks brought by a man’s decisions regarding his personal life and identity,’ Bissonnette told Reduxx. ‘There should be two categories: biological male and female.’

Great Healing Forward nannystate Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 28 Comments

Every so often, you run across an op ed which is a perfect example of “seeing, and yet not seeing”. It amazes me that this doctor can work every day in the collapsing single payer medical system and yet not recognize that it is precisely the stubborn adherence to this doctrine that is causing the collapse. He claims to desire “real action, real change”, but cannot or will not expand on his weary bromide.

Long gone are the days of the early pandemic, when our neighbours banged their pots and pans in appreciation every evening. Now we are yelled at every single shift about the long wait times. We are verbally and physically assaulted so regularly that the B.C. provincial health authority recently mandated violence-prevention training. All these things, it’s just too much.

One BC First Nation standing in the way of another’s development of LNG terminal

Climate Cult Drill, Baby, Drill 31 Comments

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.

  • The illegal biolab was run by a PRC citizen who is a wanted fugitive from Canada with a $330 million Canadian dollar judgment against him for stealing American intellectual property.
  • This PRC citizen was a top official at a PRC-state-controlled company and had links to military-civil fusion entities.
  • The illegal biolab received millions of dollars in unexplained payments from PRC banks while running the illegal biolab.
  • The illegal biolab contained thousands of samples of labeled, unlabeled, and encoded potential pathogens, including HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and Covid.
  • The illegal biolab also contained a freezer labeled “Ebola,” which contained unlabeled, sealed silver bags consistent with how the lab stored high risk biological materials. Ebola is a Select Agent with a lethality rate between 25-90%.
  • The biolab contained nearly a thousand transgenic mice, genetically engineered to mimic the human immune system. Lab workers said that the mice were designed “to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.”
  • After local officials who discovered the lab sought help from the CDC and others, the CDC refused to test any of the samples.

    •  

    Huh. Maybe the Chinese knew more than they were letting on when they alleged Wuhan flu originated in the US.

    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.
