In the long civilizational struggle — especially in the West — between the “progressive” forces of “Why not?” and the protective “Why?” of conservatives, the victory of the former always signals the death not only of the latter but of both parties. Like the scorpion stinging the rescuing frog to death in the middle of the pond, thus dooming them both, they simply cannot help themselves. It’s in their nature to tear down, ransack, and destroy, even at the cost of their own existence. This weakness-from-within is how civilizations fall (Gibbon, in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, speaks of it as “effeminacy”) and it’s repeated itself so many times over the course of the past two thousand-plus years you’d think we’d learn by now. But you would be wrong.

Northwestern Now- COVID patients breathe large amounts of virus early on
Vaccinated and unvaccinated patients exhale similar levels of virus over the course of infection, the research shows.
We further found that levels of exhaled viral RNA increased with self-rated symptom-severity, though individual variation was high. Levels of exhaled viral RNA did not differ across age, sex, time of day, vaccination status or viral variant. Our data provide a fine-grained, direct measure of the number of SARS-CoV-2 viral copies exhaled per minute during natural breathing—including 312 breath specimens collected multiple times daily over the course of infection—in order to fill an important gap in our understanding of the time course of exhaled viral loads in COVID-19.

The great Liberal “Atlantic Loop” plan collapses
So the federal government has been pushing for an “Atlantic Loop” that would tie in all of Eastern Canada to massive hydro electric generating capacity in Quebec and Labrador. Think Churchill Falls, Muskrat Falls. Newfoundland has already built the connection between Labrador and the Rock. But the idea was to build undersea connections from the Rock to Nova Scotia. The idea was to get rid of remaining coal-fired power generation. Well, that fell apart in recent days. This Canadian Press story might talk about a “modified loop,” but it is really a collapse of the original idea. “Too expensive.” But if this is too expensive, how are we in Saskatchewan supposed to get rid of our coal and natural gas?
Embrace Pallywood!
@robbystarbuck – So after all the drama yesterday it turns out the Gaza hospital wasn’t bombed, the parking lot was, and 500 people didn’t die. Oh and the rocket wasn’t from Israel, it was from a failed rocket that Palestinian terrorists shot at Israel. Absolutely insane.
Flushing capital
Rising compliance costs are one big reason for the sharp increase in housing and construction prices, and while some levels of government express concern and desire to lower those costs, other jurisdictions can’t wait to saddle builders with even bigger burdens.
B.C. construction projects with more than 25 workers must have access to a flushable toilet, according to a law to be introduced by Premier David Eby.

Y2Kyoto: I’ll Miss The Poley Bears
Last December, researchers vigorously promoted a possible 27% decline in Western Hudson Bay (WH) polar bear abundance but kept hidden the fact that adjacent Southern Hudson Bay (SH) numbers increased by 30% over the same period.
And surprise, surprise: the bombshell SH results call into question everything the ‘experts’ have been saying about polar bears in Hudson Bay for years.
I finally got a copy of the 2021 WH survey report from the Nunavut government, which was reported on by the media around the world in December 2022. The Nunavut government also sent along a copy of the 2021 SH report (helpfully asking, “would you also like the SH report?”), published at virtually the same time. The existence of a SH report was never mentioned by any of the media articles in December, even though it was referenced several times in the WH report, which suggests reporters never actually saw the WH report but were simply given a press release with approved talking points.

No More Prayers on Remembrance Day, Military Tells Chaplain Service:
Canadians about to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country could come across different proceedings than they’re used to, as the military has told its chaplain service that religious prayers in official public functions are now forbidden.
The move is part of the larger cultural change process in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) implemented by the Liberal government, which aims to put principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at the core of the organization.

Another Win For The SaskParty
Winning so hard, I don’t know if I can handle this much winning.
A member of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission has resigned, citing the provincial government’s proposed pronoun policy.
In an email to Premier Scott Moe, Heather Kuttai said her decision to resign as one of the organization’s six commissioners — which is effective immediately — “did not come lightly.”
“I strongly disagree with the proposed legislation that requires teachers to seek parental permission to change a child’s name and/or pronouns when they are at school,” Kuttai wrote. “This is an attack on the rights of trans, non-binary, and gender diverse children, which, contrary to what is being reported, is actually a very small number of kids.”
Kuttai, who was appointed to the commission in 2014, said she believed the commission was designed to uphold individual rights. She suggested the proposed legislation doesn’t provide that protection for children.
“A child’s rights must always take precedence over a parent’s obligations and responsibilities,” she wrote. “Removing a child’s rights, in the name of ‘parental rights’ is fundamentally anti-trans and harmful.
Like a self-weeding garden, the ‘Parents’ Bill of Rights’ has begun to remove the groomers from our institutions, one hissy fit at a time.
Suncor CEO called out on the carpet for no longer drinking the Kool-aid
What, actually caring about profits is bad now?
Kruger said his comments were misinterpreted as Suncor ending its commitment to curbing its carbon footprint, when the focus is really on ensuring the company is making profits now to be able to afford the required investments in decarbonization.

The Libranos: SNC Lavalin Returns From The Grave
Democracy Watch: Public inquiry needed into RCMP’s national command coverup
“The records show the RCMP is a negligently weak lapdog that rolled over for Prime Minister Trudeau by doing a very superficial investigation into his Cabinet’s obstruction of the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, not trying to obtain key secret Cabinet communication records, and burying the investigation with an almost two-year delay,” said Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch. “The RCMP also misled the public by claiming it wasn’t investigating, violated the open government law by keeping investigation records secret much longer than is allowed, and is refusing to disclose the legal details why no one was prosecuted.”
“Given pressure by the Prime Minister and Cabinet officials to obstruct a prosecution is a situation that has not been revealed publicly before, and given no past court ruling makes it clear that the RCMP and Crown prosecutors could not win a prosecution, they should have tried to get a search warrant for secret Cabinet communications, and prosecuted so a judge could decide in an open court whether obstruction had occurred instead of making a behind-closed-doors and very questionable decision to cover up their investigation,” said Conacher.
Bumped for more from Dan Knight.
The pages we do have tell a tale of sloth-like efficiency. Over four years—yes, years—the RCMP spoke to a grand total of three witnesses. Were they expecting these witnesses to come carolling at RCMP headquarters, hot chocolate in hand? It seems that due diligence was put on ice, perhaps indefinitely.
They called their lukewarm endeavors an “assessment” rather than an “investigation,” as if they were grading a sixth-grade book report instead of probing into the alleged corruption at the highest levels of our government. The verbal gymnastics here could win an Olympic medal, but they also deceived Canadians.
Now, the RCMP had what they needed to press on with obstruction of justice charges. Even a rookie lawyer fresh out of a Canadian law school would salivate at the prospects of this case. But what do they do? Suddenly, the goalposts move, and they decide they need proof of “a corrupt intent to interfere” before any prosecution could occur. This convenient shifting of standards smells more fishy than a Newfoundland trawler.
