We never did build an oil export port at Kitimat. But Calgary-based Gibson Energy recently bought a massive, nearly brand-new oil export facility on the Texas Gulf Coast. And this one is capable of loading supertankers. Too bad there wasn’t one on the BC coast they could have bought.

National Post- Defunding CBC would be ‘devastating’ to news in rural Canada: Catherine Tait
Thomas asked her if the CBC would continue to provide Canadians with news if it was “given the opportunity to be truly independent, and set free from the shackles of government money”, as the Conservative party has been promising to do if they form government.
Tait said it would be “extremely difficult” to provide news to many of the underserved communities across Canada, such as rural and northern communities as well as francophones living in minority communities, which do not benefit from commercial private news.
Moderna on Thursday posted a steep loss for the third quarter as it recorded a large write-down due to unused doses of its Covid vaccine, its only marketable product, and unveiled plans to scale back production of the shot.
How it started…
African-American bakery employee testified he saw Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo “standing directly in front of the store with a megaphone, orchestrating some of the activities of the students.”
How that went.
Oberlin College pays $36 million to Ohio bakery after its owner accused the school of refusing to pay penalty in defamation suit
And how it’s going…
One of the country’s most liberal colleges is being investigated over allegations it allowed antisemitism to breed on campus including having a professor of peace studies who has called for the elimination of Israel and the death of Salman Rushdie.
Oberlin College in Ohio could lose chunks of the millions in annual federal funding as a result of the probe, whose existence it has not yet disclosed to students, alumni and donors. Last year, the school took in more than $5 million in federal grants.
The best way of understanding it is that Israelis are Jews and the ancient plague of anti-Semitism is again sweeping the globe. – Victor Davis Hanson

Canadian taxpayers ought to be livid that crown attorneys have wasted this much time on a trial that is clearly going nowhere.
An Ottawa police liaison officer testifying in the trial of Chris Barber and Tamara Lich agreed on Wednesday that none of the protesters he communicated with indicated they were participating in the “Freedom Convoy” because they were influenced by the high-profile organizers.
…he told the court there were multiple groups and factions attending the demonstrations.
Blonde said he believes that not all protesters had the same “wishes or desires,” but that they had the same “general reasoning” for demonstrating.
The Crown is seeking to prove that Lich and Barber exerted influence over protesters’ actions.
Breaking: major Liberal scandal…
Opposition Conservatives have obtained leaked secret recordings concerning a billion dollar Liberal “green” slush-fund that was used to funnel “free money” to “well connected Liberals.”
More background here.
Debunking of the latest anti-meat “study”. This one comes out of Harvard. Can be summed up in two words -confounding factors-.
Video is time stamped and includes a transcription.
Ørsted, a major player in the offshore wind development sector, has decided to pull the plug on its Ocean Wind 1 and Ocean Wind 2 projects off the coast of New Jersey. Citing “escalated financial difficulties and supply chain issues”.
Ørsted’s decision brings to light the tumultuous waters that renewable energy projects are now starting to regularly encounter.
A most interesting discussion that few are talking about:
So for example, when you see Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in these photos constantly surrounded by alleged Chinese intelligence proxies and gangsters at these cash-for-access fundraisers or campaign events, these pictures are telling a story.
And the story is how Canadian politicians are surrounded by something that’s called the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front.
. . .
And so what shocked me — when I was putting together my reports — was that my intelligence sources were very concerned that key Liberal Party leaders had these United Front network staff members.
And this included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Fixing” Medicare one patient at a time.
City Journal- Canadian Death Cult
In one alarming instance, a 71-year-old widower was admitted to hospital after a fall. He contracted infectious diarrhea in hospital, where he was humiliated by staff for the smell of his room. Staff claimed that he had end-stage COPD and offered him MAID; he took their advice and was euthanized within 48 hours of his first assessment. A post-mortem examination, however, proved that he did not have end-stage COPD.
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.
More than 13,000 people in Canada were euthanized in 2022, an annual rise of 31.2 percent since 2021. In 2022, 4.1 percent of all deaths in the country were the result of euthanasia; MAID could now be listed as the nation’s fifth-leading cause of death. Nearly 45,000 people have been euthanized since 2016, when Parliament first introduced MAID legislation. This number will keep rising as stigma disappears and MAID advocates continue to push for relaxed standards. The Canadian government seems to be on board with that agenda, as it reportedly plans to make MAID available to anorexics and drug users.
As we’re all aware, the last three years have seen unending supply chain snarls and production backlogs for a variety of reasons. We might be seeing these forces coming back into equilibrium, but don’t break out the champagne just yet.
The backlogs are lessening not because productive capacity and plant performance is finally rising to meet demand, but instead because demand is falling to a level at which supply chain snarls just don’t matter as much. The marginal consumer is tapped out.
Caterpillar Inc.’s stock tumbled to the lowest level since early June after the company said its order backlog shrank in the third quarter, a sign the market sees as slowing demand for its iconic yellow machinery in the coming months.
The year-on-year decline of $1.9 billion is the first since the third quarter of 2020, when Caterpillar was grappling with the effects of Covid-19 shutdowns on its sales…
When woke piety is tissue-thin camouflage for a shitty human being, part 4,022:
Ms Xahra Saleem, formerly Yvonne Maina, is the co-founder of the activist group All Black Lives Bristol, and was hailed by Rife magazine as one of Bristol’s “most influential under-30s.” Ms Saleem’s merry band of megaphone-waving statue-topplers have been the subject of endless gushing and deferential commentary, with the local university subsequently promising to “decolonise” All Of The Oppressive Things.
Discarded placards and assorted detritus from the group’s protests were fondled reverentially by staff of the local museum and stored for later worship as holy artefacts.
Alas, the reverence proved to be misplaced.
