The Libranos: Now Faster and More Comfy

Dan Knight;

Yesterday, Anita Anand and Ryan Turnbull stood before a photo shoot, grinning ear to ear, patting themselves on the back, telling us how they’re such heroes for spending $219 million of taxpayer money to bring “high-speed Internet” to 66,472 households in Ontario. Let me put it in perspective for you. That’s $3,294 per household—funded by you, the Canadian taxpayer. […]

Why would a government, supposedly by the people, for the people, go to such lengths to ignore what is clearly a better, more cost-effective option? Well, the answer may be uncomfortably simple: it’s not a government of the people, it’s a government for their corporate lobbyists. Lacking both imagination and business sense, they’d rather hand a $219 million gift to the telecom giants like it’s some sort of business-as-usual transaction.

Take Minister Anita Anand, for instance. She’s keen to tell us all about the marvelous ‘investment’ they’re making in fast Internet. Well, isn’t it funny how that investment seems to directly benefit companies like Telus, to the tune of billions? And speaking of funny business, don’t get me started on the fact that her husband’s company somehow started receiving millions in federal contracts right after she was elected. A sheer coincidence, I’m sure.

Rolling blackouts again threaten Alberta and Texas on Tuesday

Climate Cult 22 Comments

The energy transition continues: Alberta issues second electrical grid alert in two days. Texas also issued a grid alert on the same day. Funny, that. The two most energy-rich jurisdictions in the hemisphere, and perhaps the planet, are struggling to keep the lights on. Again.

Oh, and Texans have been warned: expect the same on Wednesday.

Why do I keep writing about this? Because people need it beat into their heads “The emperor has no clothes!”

Or, Equity, Baby:

The genius of the “equity-focussed” policies, also being advanced in California and elsewhere, is that they are likely to have negative consequences for both ends of the ability spectrum. The cognitively untalented will be spared the normal incentives to master at least the basics, even the basics of behaviour, while the gifted will be denied access to advanced material more suited to their abilities, resulting in boredom and demoralisation.

Two birds, one stone.

 

The Court Of Librano’s Bench

The Libranos 12 Comments

National Post;

At least six current superior court justices may have paid to meet with the prime minister or the deputy prime minister at Liberal Party fundraisers shortly before being appointed.

These findings come in the wake of an earlier analysis by the National Post and the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF), which found that over three times as many Liberal party donors have been appointed to judicial office than Conservative donors since 2016.

The IJF and the Post matched the names and cities of federally appointed judges from the government’s Orders in Council database against fundraiser attendance lists from Elections Canada’s Regulated Fundraising Events Registry (covering 2019 to the present) and historical event records posted on the Liberal party’s website. All federal fundraisers with tickets over $200 and featuring a party leader, cabinet minister, or leadership contestant must be reported to Elections Canada.

Persons with similar names of three federally appointed judges to Alberta’s superior trial court appear on the fundraising registry. A Robert Armstrong and Michel Bourque, both of Calgary, attended several fundraisers with high-level cabinet members — sometimes together — with their last attendance at events just a couple months before judges with similar names were appointed to Alberta’s Court of King’s Bench. Robert W. Armstrong of Calgary was appointed to the bench in February 2021 while Michel H. Bourque, also of Calgary, was appointed in December 2021.

@RealAndyLeeShow – Congratulations to Judge Jason Howie, a long-time Conservative Party donor, for his appointment to the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario after switching sides to donate $1799.78 to the Liberal Party of Canada in 2023.

Now Ontario.

Ontario’s education minister said he believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school.

The comments were made at a news conference on Monday morning, where Stephen Lecce was outlining the changes students and parents can expect at Ontario schools come September.

They also come as Saskatchewan adopts a new gender and pronoun policy, joining New Brunswick in legislating parental consent for students under the age of 16 who want to change their given names and/or pronouns at school.

CreepyJoeBiden Democrats Margin Of Fraud 13 Comments

Mark Judge;

In fact, the atmosphere now is similar to 2018, when the Democratic Party, the media, and outright criminals tried to destroy me and my high school friend Kavanaugh by using a woman named Christine Blasey Ford. Ford claimed that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when the two were in high school in 1982. Ford claimed I was in the room where the assault allegedly took place and that I witnessed everything before jumping in and breaking it up. The entire thing was a setup . I was denied due process, and the press savaged me and somehow found more and more accusers from places I’d never been to. As with Trump, the charges got more and more absurd and just kept piling up. At least Trump is told the time and place he supposedly did the thing he is charged with.

Yet much of the media, even on the Right, fail to recognize what the Left is trying to do. Indeed, for all its talk about clueless elites, the Right can be just as elite and clueless.

Related: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) confessed to being in possession of over 5,400 emails that had been sent by then-Vice President Joe Biden’s fake email account, as a lawsuit has been filed demanding the emails’ release.

The energy transition in real time: brownouts threaten at suppertime

Climate Cult 20 Comments

With brownouts a possibility, Texas issues another electrical grid alert on Tuesday, its second in three days. Alberta issued one yesterday. These are the most energy-rich places on earth. What is going on?

UPDATE: 3:08 p.m. Aug. 29.

At 2:25 p.m, the Alberta Electric System Operator has not yet issued a grid alert on this date, but put out a tweet alluding to one, imploring Alberta citizens to reduce power consumption.
