Since no one is going to dig up Prairie Green landfill to look for the equivalent of needles in a haystack, these continuing protests are simply another excuse to browbeat the white colonialist regime for alleged past sins. Now that a judge has ordered the protesters to remove the blockade, the inevitable and absurd comparisons to the truck convoy protest have come out of the woodwork:
Val Vint said it was frustrating to see the blockade at the Brady landfill ordered to end after a matter of days, drawing a comparison with a protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and public health orders that was allowed to block streets in downtown Winnipeg for weeks last year.
Organizations that couldn’t be bothered to dig three feet to find an alleged known grave can’t grasp why anyone wouldn’t instantly agree to spend $180 million to dig up an entire landfill:
“That’s bullshit. Because the feasibility study was conducted by experts. We had an anthropologist on the technical working group,” Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Cathy Merrick said in an interview on Wednesday.

Tucker Up, Buttercup (Bumped)
Clips are now making their way to Twitter, and some of them are lit. According to the comments, you can access the event via Blaze TV. I’ll post a few in the extended entry.
Update: You can find the video coverage here, still live, now into its 4th hour. Scroll the red time bar back for segments with the candidates.

This is going to pull a lot of eyeballs.
One by one, Carlson will grill Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Regardless of any private hesitation they may harbor, each of the campaigns who spoke with RCP ahead of the event say they take Carlson seriously. Most have spent considerable time preparing. And for good reason.
The Most Interesting Man In The World
NEW: House Oversight member, Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, has confirmed that the “unnamed” foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with $10 million, was none other than Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky.
The now infamous FBI FD-1023 form provide by Wray had redacted Zlochevsky’s name but detailed a $10 million bribe to the Bidens with someone connected to Burisma.
Putting it all together…
We know that Zlochesvsky was already paying Hunter an exorbitant sum, $83,000/mo, to sit on the board of his Ukrainian energy company.
We know Zlochevsky was facing a corruption investigation in Ukraine by prosecutor Viktor Shokin.
We know then-Vice President Joe Biden accused Shokin of corruption.
We know that then-VP Biden successfully threatened to pull a $1 billion US loan guarantee as leverage to push for Shokin’s removal.
We know Shokin was replaced by Yuriy Lutsenko, who cleared Zlochevsky and Burisma of criminal charges in 2019.
We know that Zlochevsky and his associates were eventually charged in 2020 for attempting $6 million in bribes to halt the ongoing investigation (the guy has a history of bribes).
And we know that Zlochevsky was a rich, corrupt foreign oligarch who needed the type of help only connected, corrupt DC cronyism could deliver.
And it all points to one conclusion: Joe and James and Hunter were willing to sell out American interests to keep the Ukrainian money flowing.
And now hundreds of billions of your taxpayer money is flowing back to Ukraine.
Get it, now?
And the FBI is still protecting them.
The details at Daily Caller.
What Would We Do Without Researchers?
“Explain it to me like I’m 5”.
Two new Studies are underway at the University of Saskatchewan looking at a variety of factors that impact long-haul truck drivers in the province. One study is evaluating what benefits driving simulator training can offer truck drivers in Saskatchewan, and the second is looking to evaluate the amenities available at truck stops. PhD candidate Mackenzie McKeown is leading the studies. She joins Gormley to discuss the safety concerns she has about the current state of the trucking industry and how she hopes her studies will help create a better work environment for Saskatchewan Truckers.
If you can make it to the end, you’re a better person than I.
How about more carbon capture?
Open letter: CCS is needed and ready to address climate change. This is from the Regina-based International CCS Knowledge Centre.
In response to some of the comments yesterday – carbon capture, as practiced in Saskatchewan, actually has a substantial benefit besides whatever climate issues one might be concerned about. The Weyburn Unit, one of the largest and most prolific oil plays in this country, has been in operation for 65 years. If it had no CO2 injection, it would probably be producing around 6,000 barrels per day. It’s currently doing around 24,000 as a direct result of CO2-enhanced oil recovery. That’s a gain of around 18,000 bpd. At $75/bbl., that’s about $1.3 million per day in gross revenue. It means hundreds of jobs in Weyburn, including my daughter, who started working as a heavy duty mechanic apprentice for an oilfield service company which has been working in the Unit for 62 years. If the CO2 continues to flow, that oilfield is expected to continue on likely for her entire career, if she stays there.
This can be applied on a much broader scale, dramatically extending the life of any oilfield it is applied to. CO2 increases recovery factors from around 20% to 40%+.
Just pumping CO2 into the ground – that’s another story.

Ban All The Things!
This is intentional: part of the “nudge” to make commercial flight so painful and expensive that the average deplorable begins turning away and the industry shrinks to accommodate only the worthy elites.
Politically cleaner than banning commercial air travel, (as they did plastic straws) There’s more than one way to skin a carbon footprint. They’re doing it to oil and gas, they’re doing it to agriculture.
Try seeing it all from 10,000 ft (while you still can).

The Libranos: Entitled To Her Entitlements
The Governor General’s four-day visit to Iceland last fall racked up over $71,000 in limousine costs, according to receipts from the trip.
Obtained via access to information requests by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, expense reports from Gov. Gen. Mary Simon’s October 2022 working visit to Iceland list five separate line items for Icelimo Luxury Travel, a limousine and transportation firm based outside of Reykjavík. […]
“You know the feds spared no expense when the Governor General could have bought a brand new BMW, drove it around the island and then left it outside the airport with the keys inside and still saved money,” Terrazzano said.
“It seems like Simon and her band of bureaucrats go out of their way to spend as much money as possible.”
The Governor General and her entourage were in Iceland to attend last year’s Arctic Circle Assembly — described by Rideau Hall as a means to “…demonstrate Canadian leadership in the Arctic, and reinforce other priority issues for Canada in the north, including climate change, reconciliation, gender equality and youth engagement.”
According to official programs, also obtained via the access to information request, the entirety of the four-day visit took place within Reykjavik — a city of 130,000 people about a quarter of the size of Calgary.

When the foreign press is more grounded in reality than ones own…
Globe and Mail- Prime Minister Trudeau heads to NATO summit as Canada expected to play key role in discussions
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is heading to the NATO leaders’ summit in Lithuania this week, where Canada is likely to play a larger-than-usual role in two critical discussions: the alliance’s expanding membership and its efforts to refocus on collective defence.
Wall Street Journal- Canada Is a Military Free-Rider In NATO
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Lithuania this week for the annual NATO summit, but it’s too bad there wasn’t a junior table where he could sit. That’s where his country belongs based on Ottawa’s feeble commitment to alliance defense.
Those carbon capture people keep coming back to Saskatchewan
Why? Because we are the leaders, worldwide. Every second year the IEAGHG summer school returns to Regina and Estevan, because we’ve got the most significant, commercial-scale carbon capture facility on a coal plant in the world, and we’ve learned a lot from it. That’s from the general manager of the IEAGHG.
Say what you want about carbon capture and storage, but Saskatchewan’s a big deal in this field.
I also asked him about when the glaciers covered Canada, and it wasn’t my SUV or the two coal fire power plants near my house that caused them to melt.
Something Abhorrent Is Gone
Now only if someone could explain this to the Canadian elites. Victor Davis Hanson explains the ten reasons why affirmative action died.
