A hint of recession

As the after-shocks of the pandemic lockdowns continue to be felt and various wars drag on, it’s not surprising to hear that the marginal consumer is cutting back. What’s really notable is that historically Canadian Tire has often been touted as a recession-proof company. Maybe not anymore.

Consumer weakness spilled into full view in Canadian Tire Corp.’s third quarter as its customers curbed spending on non-essential items, pushing comparable sales down 1.6 per cent relative to the previous year.

Spin Master Corp., a Toronto-based toymaker that sells brands such as Paw Patrol and Bakugan, reported a 29 per cent decline in gross sales of toy products in Canada in the first nine months of the year, compared with a 20 per cent drop in the U.S.

Ban All The Things! Trust New Technology!

Oh, well I guess it’s back to coal.

Nuclear power is emission-free but complex, expensive and politically fraught. In recent years, small modular reactors have been touted as the answer to those problems. In the US, NuScale Energy Corp. has been at the vanguard of efforts to build viable SMRs.

So it was a significant blow to the industry last week when NuScale abruptly canceled a deal to construct the Carbon Free Power Project, a 462-megawatt power plant slated for a Utah-based consortium of municipal utilities.

For nuclear advocates, SMRs promise atomic plants that are faster and cheaper to build than large, conventional facilities that are bespoke. NuScale is the only company to win US approval

for an advanced fission reactor design. It was widely expected to deliver the first commercial power plant using next-generation technology.

However, like many other industrial projects, NuScale’s plans were beset by delays and soaring costs. It faced rising prices for steel and other key materials, as well as higher interest rates. The final blow for NuScale came when some members of the Utah group backed away from commitments to purchase power. NuScale wanted contracts for at least 80% of the electricity, but it fell short.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

However much you hate the media, it’s not enough.

On October 7, four photojournalists who provide reporting and photos for the likes of the Associated Press (AP), CNN, the New York Times, Reuters, and other outlets were allegedly at the Israeli border with Hamas terrorists who committed acts of atrocities against innocent Israeli civilians that shocked the world. Since an Israel-supporting news watchdog website reported the claim, everyone wants to know if these Gaza-based reporters knew in advance about the attack and, more importantly, if they could have saved lives by alerting the world about it. The question arises: Did the AP, CNN, the New York Times, and Reuters know about the Hamas terror attack in advance?

The allegations have sent major media into panic mode and generated even more mistrust in the corporate press. […]

In war reporting, journalists are often given a heads-up and allowed to chronicle American troops heading into battle, for example. But this wasn’t an act of war — it was terror. It was murder for murder’s sake. There hadn’t been an Israeli offensive to which the Gaza terror organization was responding. Indeed, if Hamas had been wearing uniforms and acting as an “army” they would be accused of war crimes. As it is, they’re accused of crimes against humanity.

Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?

…”a clubhouse for dictators”.

Since that horrific day, the U.N. has called numerous emergency sessions, held hours of debate, drafted hundreds of pages of draft resolutions – all of which amount to very little.

It has not passed a single resolution to condemn Hamas’ savagery, even though terrorists wore GoPros to document themselves slaughtering, raping and torturing civilians. Similarly, the U.N. has not called for the release of more than 200 hostages, including babies, children and the elderly.

Monday On Turtle Island

Your morning meme.  Bonus meme.

Or Maybe You’re Just A Nasty, Spiteful Person

Curiously, given the stated importance of “sensitivity” and being mindful of what things might mean, we aren’t invited to ponder the kind of person who would resent someone else’s wedding photo. And then complain about it. Or whether such neurotic affectations, these unhappy mental habits, are something to be actively encouraged. In the name of progress. At a university.

When your Zoom-meeting décor is deemed oppressive. One of these.
