This evening we learn about a very long highway in Canada that was built by a foreign army.
Your foreign or domestic tips are very much appreciated!
Israel Under Attack
This post is late getting up as I’m on the road with no time online, and only learned of events a few minutes ago. Consider this your open thread to drop links and other information. Perhaps the guest bloggers will have more in the hours to come.
@ezralevant – Hamas has taken rape slaves. That’s the terrorist group Trudeau funded with $50 million tax dollars. That’s who CUPE supports.
“They shot people in cars and at bus stops, they rounded up women and children into rooms like Einsatzgruppen and machine-gunned them. They went house to house to find and murder civilians hiding in their closets, and they dragged the bloody, dead bodies of Israelis back into Gaza where they are now being paraded, beaten, and mutilated in front of exultant crowds. One young Israeli woman was murdered and stripped to her underwear, and her corpse was thrown in the back of a pickup truck so it could be paraded around Gaza while young Hamas men beat and mutilated her body.”
@NoahPollak details the horrors of the Hamas invasion of Israel and the brutalizing and murder of innocent Israeli civilians including women and children. He calls this Israel’s 9/11 and he’s right.
A Broken Canada
It seems the northern half of Turtle Island is incapable of building things anymore. Whether it’s pipelines, navy ships, or other projects. Welcome to Chow Town.
Ban all the things!
The fact that we are now living in a world in which innovation in social media has fostered an asymmetric system with zero barriers to entry is something to be celebrated, not decried. That won’t stop media dinosaurs like Andrew Coyne, however, from pining for the “good old days” when authority figures with sufficient financial resources could just prevent people from seeing information they didn’t like.
I have a suggestion for Andrew: instead of labelling ideas you disagree with as disinformation and branding their proponents as lunatics, get busy and offer some counter arguments. Maybe the reason you feel defeated is because your arguments are ineffective, non-existent or just plain wrong. It is also possible to offer a bad argument in favor of a good idea. Let that sink in.

A farmer, a pump shop manager and a superintendent walk into a liquor store …
Getting caught up on some energy items from Pipeline Online:
Letter to the editor on why activity levels are so low in the Saskatchewan oilpatch
“How low?” you ask. Just 29 drilling rigs working in Saskatchewan Oct. 3 (10 years ago, that number would have been around 90. During the depths of the downturn, it would have been 40-50.)
Tammy Nemeth’s podcast talks about net-zero red tape for small and medium enterprises in Canada. You think you have paperwork now…
Enbridge’s CEO had a lot to say this week:
Enbridge CEO op-ed on delivering LNG to global markets, reducing global CO2 emissions and supporting energy security. (He did a long speech, which I’ll be posting verbatim, if I have a chance).
Enbridge CEO calls for national Indigenous loan guarantee program so they can buy into energy projects, like pipelines.
And what do we need pipelines for when rail works so well? Except for when it doesn’t. Undetected broken rail causes fiery crude-by-rail derailment.
And for something completely different: A farmer, a pump shop manager and a superintendent walk into a liquor store … and buy it. No joke.

Saturday On Turtle Island
Global Warming Scam News: Justin will have to raise the carbon tax to counter this. A Chinese coal train. The climate psychos want to abolish freedom of movement. And EV makers are losing money.
Dementia Joe’s America: The Chinese owned schools in New York. Did you write that? The slimy Biden family.
China Virus News: A book review. Another history lesson with Neil Oliver: Winston Churchill.
Blackie’s Canada: Justin’s CBC explains how colonialism is causing Islamophobia on Turtle Island. An embarrassing gesture from Trudeau (JW). Justin’s loyal CTV trashes colonialism. Our Dear Leader had a wonderful time at Oktoberfest. Just ignore that we paid for the trip.

Corporate Welfare Fraud or Abject Stupidity?
Somebody hasn’t been honest about taxpayer-funded subsidies:
It will take 20 years for the federal and provincial governments to break even on massive subsidies to auto giants Volkswagen and Stellantis, not the five years that the government initially pledged, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
Volkswagen, which plans a massive electric vehicle battery plant in St. Thomas, Ont., and Stellantis, which is building a plant with LG in Windsor, Ont., both received massive production subsidies from the provincial and federal government.

Bread lines for all
This gambit could go one of two ways: either the government quietly forgets about it in a few months, or they become indignant with the lack of “progress” and impose price controls. I don’t think anything is really off the table at this point.
Champagne said the federal government is establishing a “grocery task force” within the Office of Consumer Affairs that will be focused on monthly monitoring of grocers’ commitments and actions taken by others in the food industry.
Champagne said plans are still in the works to establish a grocery “code of conduct” to support fairness and transparency in the sector, and to create a new food price “data hub” to allow better access to information about the price of food in Canada.
Rinse and Repeat
There’s no reason not to try something that’s never worked every other time its been tried. This time we “feel” it will work.
Globe and Mail- B.C. COVID-19 hospitalizations up 58 per cent in two weeks, as infections, deaths also spike
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced last week that mask mandates were returning to health-care settings across B.C. during the respiratory illness season.
A Big Beautiful Wall
The Telegraph-Joe Biden to build border wall in major U-turn
He has waived 26 federal laws in Texas to permit the building of additional border barriers in the Rio Grande Valley, using funds secured during the Trump presidency.
Friday On Turtle Island
Blackie’s Canada: Justin’s CBC is outraged about a sign in P.E.I. The economy destroying carbon tax. Today Climate Justin burns jet fuel to Southwestern Ontario. There he and his loyal, drooling media, will visit a grocery store to explain how he has solved the food crisis. The Liberal government finances refit of luxury hotel. UPDATE: Policing costs for Justin’s Tofino vacation were 287k.
