Un-Fun Times Ahead

I asked Grok the following question:

Putting yourself in the shoes of a Canadian with conservative views, speculate on some scenarios that might cause prosecution of such a person for something they might say, write, or do under Bills C-9 and C-12.

Here’s how it responded. I personally believe that professional activists are going to use these bills to shut down any speech they disagree with. Plus, anyone in any protected group will be able to say anything they wish, knowing they’ll never be prosecuted.

Wildcatting in Greenland. Seriously

Stampede Drilling is going to wildcat in Greenland – and that’s no joke

Stampede Drilling, originally founded in Estevan, is sending a drilling rig to Greenland, yes, Greenland, to drill for oil. This is about as wildcat as you can possibly get, in one of the most inaccessible and hostile places on the planet.
This is NOT an April Fool’s joke, either.

(For those unfamiliar with the term, wildcatting means drilling for oil or gas in an area not previously developed. It’s a highly risky venture.) https://glossary.slb.com/terms/w/wildcat

Joke’s On Us

@FoodProfessor

It’s April 1.

The industrial carbon tax is rising to $110 per tonne today—120% higher than when we last faced a major geopolitical energy shock during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Also today, regular MPs in Ottawa get an ‘automatic’ $8,800 raise. Cabinet ministers get a $13,300 raise and Carney gets a $17,500 raise.

In related developments…

Wednesday On Turtle Island

Woke Canada:    Compelled speech.    Stolen land.    It’s a secret.

The Democrat Party’s America:    Victor Davis Hanson – The two wars for Iran.     Andrew Klavan – Did you know?

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:    Are you being served?    The dragon slayer.    Bat flu.    Paul Joseph Watson – He said it out loud.    Muslims reject liberty.

Your morning meme.      Another meme.      And at the Bee.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

“Wow. So it looks like the Davos speech was all a big illusion.”

Update…

Kamala Harris Called and Wants Her Word Salad Back

This is Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the woman of privilege her entire life who insisted she took her children to red states to see the worst of America:

Inconveniently, there’s this pesky charity scandal. And the pesky Harvey Weinstein advice issue. But know that she has great aspirations to become The First Partner of America.

An idea so radical it just might work.

The International Olympic Committee finally did what so many of us have been demanding for years: it drew a clear, unambiguous line in the sand to protect women’s sports. Under its first-ever female president, Kirsty Coventry, the IOC announced a new eligibility policy that limits competition in the female category at the Olympics, Youth Olympics and all IOC-sanctioned events to females only. Novel concept, right? In today’s world, it is.

Starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Games, this will be verified through a simple, one-time SRY gene screening — a cheek swab, saliva sample, or blood draw — to confirm the absence of the male sex-determining gene.

The Children Are Our Future

An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act

…will require unbiased teaching devoid of statements on political, social or ideological matters and protect employees from participating in activities that infringe their beliefs while ensuring students can express their views freely.

“These changes strengthen accountability, reinforce neutrality and respect, and make it clear that politics and ideology have no place in Alberta classrooms,” said Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides in a statement Tuesday.

The province is also establishing requirements for displaying the Alberta and Canadian flags, the playing of the national anthem at least once a week and oversight in respect to what flags are displayed in schools in relation to Alberta’s heritage, school culture and activities.

Why the SKParty government hasn’t led the way on this is anyone’s guess. There is zero downside.
