The Associated Press kicked off the Independence Day celebrations on Tuesday with an article explaining why the word “patriot” has become problematic in recent years.

Provinces have a say: Eyre responds to Wilkinson’s “just transition”
Not so fast, we have a say in all this “just transition” stuff, says Saskatchewan.
Also, natural resources minister has faith electric tractors are coming. The local Kipling reporter asked about this, and it’s awesome. I wonder where, and when they will charge said tractors? Maybe some booster cables at the nearest power pole in the middle of a field?

“You’re Next”
Whatever your thoughts on Nigel Farage may be, his substantial impact on British politics is undeniable. Known as a prominent Eurosceptic since the early 1990s, he is widely credited with being the main political force behind the Brexit movement that culminated in the UK’s historic vote to leave the European Union (EU) in 2016. As charismatic as he is controversial, Farage has long been a particularly effective thorn in the side of the British political establishment. Call him what you will, but with more than half of British voters siding with him in that historic referendum, he is anything but a member of a “fringe minority” with “unacceptable views.”
[…]
In an unsettling six-minute video posted to Twitter last week, Farage broke his silence on what he claims has been a months-long campaign on the part of the British banking system to make him a financial “unperson.” Without explanation, his longtime banking partner abruptly informed him they would close all his accounts, and no other bank seems willing to accept his business.

Maxing out the credit card
This is like an arsonist drawing attention to an increase in the number of fires in his neighborhood. It’s not really the case that everyone saved more during the pandemic, but rather that they borrowed more and felt wealthier because of it. This was particularly true of nearly every level of government. Nonetheless, I fully expect that the magic of infinite amortization will solve the problem of debt default going forward, right?
A former Bank of Canada economist says the trend of rising household insolvencies could spell trouble for the broader economy down the line.
Insolvencies dropped during the pandemic as people saved money, but Charles St-Arnaud, chief economist with Alberta Central, told BNN Bloomberg that the trend is now being “reversed completely,” with insolvencies up compared with 2019 – and the rise has been much faster than expected.

That sinking feeling
While the broader real estate market may not be showing much pricing stress yet, one sub-market appears to be filling up with bargains. After interest rates collapsed to zero and the pandemic convinced many Canadians that a cabin at the lake was the ticket, the marginal cottage owner seems to be throwing in the towel as mortgage interest and other expenses have risen dramatically.

Let That Sink In
Happy birthday, America — and RIP to its newly erected “Ministry of Truth.” That term comes directly from federal Judge Terry Doughty in the Western District of Louisiana, who issued an injunction a couple of hours ago that takes direct aim at the government-media censorship complex. Concluding that plaintiffs in the lawsuit have a strong likelihood of proving that the US government suppressed dissent — and particularly conservative dissent — Doughty ordered the Biden administration and its executive agencies to cease any coordination with social-media companies…

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia
I found this colouring book in the toy section at one of my local bookstores. Even by the standards of the genre, it’s a jaw-dropper. One of the entries praises monkeys that “jerk each other off.” We’re also informed that male bears give birth “through the tip of their penis”…
the author, one Kes Otter Liefe, is a self-described “former s3x worker” who seems to have now become some kind of High Priest of Genderwang. Kes’ main literary oeuvre consists of “bold, kinky” sci-fi sex books that depict a society led by “trans politicians and queer executives”
