Gem Hunters Found the Lithium America Needs. Maine Won’t Let Them Dig It Up
Maine has some of the strictest mining and water quality standards in the country, and prohibits digging for metals in open pits larger than three acres. There have not been any active metal mines in the state for decades, and no company has applied for a permit since a particularly strict law passed in 2017. As more companies begin prospecting in Maine and searching for sizable nickel, copper, and silver deposits, towns are beginning to pass their own bans on industrial mining.
Nice story about innocent kid shows some people are full of hate
So on Saturday morning, Premier Scott Moe’s social media team posted this Pipeline Online story on a young Estevan kid who launched an ice cream bike business at the age of 11. She had the help of her oilfield business-owning dad. A nice, feel good story about an innocent little girl and her ice cream bike.

Not Waiting For The Asteroid
With a surprise appearance from 2008 Jordan Peterson: Why is Legacy Media Like This?
TV, Radio, Newspapers, pretty-much all legacy media institutions are complete shit. Care about your entertainment? They couldn’t care less… All news, talk shows, hell even supposed shock jocks like Howard Stern, are self righteous moralizers that can’t, or consummately refuse to, even muster the excitement of a D-Grade Baptist preacher… You go to a radio shock jock in the 2020s and you get pretty-much the same regime approved unthreatening drivel you’d get from a grade-school teacher. Remember in 2017 when they gave Bill Nye the Science guy a Netflix show, with no rules on content, where they’d talk about sex and swear and stuff… and somehow it was more moralizing, condescending, and insulting to its audience than the children’s show?
That’s all institutional media now… All of its propaganda, all of its terrible, and as for entertainment? If one of them asks “are you entertained?” its an accusation, a challenge, and you’re supposed to say no and instead be solemnly thankful that they’ve taken the time to educate you.
And of course all of its dying.

The Pillaging of Western Canada — Aaron Gunn
Saturday On Turtle Island
Biden’s America: The fine art of desperate propaganda. How feminism ruined the movies. Democrats are the party of fascism. The Joe Biden bribe allegations. A transgender Democrat is charged for sex exploitation of kids. Your morning meme.
Today In Islam: Winston Churchill and Islam, part four (JW). UK bracing for surge of jihad terror (JW).
Trudeau’s Canada: Toronto principle commits suicide. A Marxist gets cancelled. Apparently only Indians were sent to TB hospitals (CBC). Today Trudeau spends a wonderful day in Toronto at taxpayer expense. He starts off celebrating the Black July Anniversary. I wonder if he will wear blackface for the occasion? Then it’s off to more festivals in the area. And China’s RCMP.

What We Do Without Peer Review?
Scandal-Plagued Stanford President Resigns…
Following the Stanford Daily’s initial report about manipulated studies last November, the college’s board formed a special committee, led by former federal prosecutor Carol Lam, to review the claims. The committee then engaged former Illinois federal judge Mark Filip, and his law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, to conduct the review.
“I expect there may be ongoing discussion about the report and its conclusions, at least in the near term, which could lead to debate about my ability to lead the university into the new academic year,” said Tessier-Lavigne in a statement describing his reasons for resigning.
The university has named Richard Saller – a professor of European studies, as interim president, effective Sept. 1.
The panel’s report, which is 89-pages long, was based on more than 50 interviews and a review of more than 50,000 documents which concluded that members of Tessier-Lavigne’s labs engaged in inappropriate manipulation of research data or deficient scientific practices which resulted in significant flaws in five papers which listed Tessier-Lavigne as the lead author, the Times reports.
The panel found that in many instances, he took insufficient steps to correct mistakes, including the 2009 Alzheimer’s paper after subsequent studies revealed that its key finding was incorrect.

Project of the Century?
There was a very significant think tank report issued by the Public Policy Forum think tank on July 19. I was up until 2 am reading it, because it’s that significant. It’s called Project of the Century. It’s about this whole net zero path and doubling the grid. While I do not agree with much of it, it is the most comprehensive discussion paper I’ve seen on energy transition to date. I’m seeking permission to serialize it and republish all of it, but hitting some roadblocks. Their stated policy is “The Public Policy Forum encourages interested parties to use, in whole or in part, its publications, data, images and other content to further dialogue on public policy in Canada. We require that the PPF is properly cited and acknowledged. In all instances, the PPF would like to be notified of the use of its publications and data.” But when I asked about serializing it and publishing the entire report, I was told no, they do not give permission.
We’ll see what next week brings.
However, the report got significant attention from the government of Alberta.
Also, supposed fossil fuel subsidies are in the headlines, with the feds saying they are going to get rid of them. I’m not really sure what subsidies they’re talking about, and neither are the Conservatives. Conservative energy critic Shannon Stubbs targets federal plan to end subsidies for fossil fuel

Conspiratorial conservatives
The only phrase missing from this editorial masquerading as news is “right wing authoritarianism”. Judging from the choice of political leaders used as examples of liars and the complete absence of any discussion of lies promoted by leftists, it’s pretty clear that the book’s author is convinced that only conservatives could possibly buy into conspiracy theories.
“I studied the words of big liars throughout contemporary history, from Hitler to Trump and found common patterns,” University of Toronto linguist Marcel Danesi told CTVNews.ca.
Danesi points to the Nazi regime, which described its targets as “pests” and “parasites” – terms that have been echoed more recently by white supremacists in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Canada Is Back!
The United States could target digital trade if it decides on retaliatory measures against a proposed Canadian digital services tax, U.S. ambassador to Canada David Cohen said.
The Liberal government confirmed this week it plans to go ahead with the tax targeting Big Tech in 2024, despite 138 other countries and jurisdictions agreeing last week to delay similar measures.
Cohen said Tai’s “statement was direct and clear and strong that if Canada decides to proceed alone, you leave the United States with no choice but to take retaliatory measures in the trade context, potentially in the digital trade context, in order to respond to that.”
The Canadian tax, estimated to bring in $3.4 billion over five years, is aimed at large companies that operate online marketplaces, social media platforms and earn revenue from online advertising. This includes Amazon, Google, Facebook, Uber and Airbnb. The Liberal government first promised the tax in the 2021 budget. It would be retroactive to 2022, meaning the companies would be on the hook for more than $1 billion once it comes into effect.

The Telegraph- Nigel Farage is the latest victim of Britain’s chilling new state ideology
The saga of Nigel Farage and his Coutts bank account is one such story. The only appropriate response to it is cold fury, mixed with deep, deep, apprehension. Someone has lost their bank account because the bank didn’t like their opinions. Not very long ago, this would have seemed literally incredible. “Why would the bank care about your opinions?” we would have said. It’s a free country, isn’t it?
