And by golly, we’re getting one.
Governments at all levels and their multitude of agencies, Crown corporations and departments employ a large chunk of Canada’s labour market. According to the Fraser Institute, as of July 2022, Canada’s public sector represented 21.8 per cent of all jobs in the economy — and growing.
That means that nearly one out of every four Canadians works for the government — a staggering percentage, which is nearly double that of the United States and almost the same as communist Venezuela.
Nearly the same percentage as the Trudeau voting base.
Related – The Wheat Growers Association says it was stunned to learn that striking federal workers had intentionally targeted the Cascadia Terminal in Vancouver – a major port for grain exports. However, before that grain can be exported, it needs to be inspected – that inspection is normally done by Canadian Grain Commission inspectors that are part of the PSAC Union.
Safe and Effective®
Due to the health crisis caused by SARS-CoV-2, the creation of a new vaccine platform based on mRNA was implemented. Globally, around 13.32 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses of diverse platforms have been given, and up to this date, 69.7% of the total population received at least one injection of a COVID-19 vaccine. Although these vaccines prevent hospitalization and severe forms of the disease, increasing evidence has shown they do not produce sterilizing immunity, allowing people to suffer frequent re-infections. Recent research has also raised concerns that mRNA vaccines could induce immune tolerance, which, added to that caused by the virus itself, could complicate the clinical course of a COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, recent investigations have found high IgG4 levels in people who were administered two or more injections of mRNA vaccines. It has been suggested that an increase in IgG4 levels could have a protecting role by preventing immune over-activation, similar to that occurring during successful allergen-specific immunotherapy by inhibiting IgE-induced effects. Altogether, evidence suggests that the reported increase in the IgG4 levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines is not a protective mechanism; rather, it may be a part of the immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses. IgG4-induced suppression of the immune system due to repeated vaccination can also cause autoimmune diseases, promotes cancer growth, and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals.
Leading The Charge
The prototype Winnebago ERV2 “features a clever and well-appointed interior”…
As I crawled around in the dark, checking the connections to the electrical hookup, my neighbor told me the power was out across the entire campsite. This was a problem. While other campers began using their gas-powered tow vehicles to run their appliances, I had no such luxury. The eRV2—which follows the 2022 e-RV concept and previews a production electric RV—is based on the Ford E-Transit and uses that vehicle’s stock 68.0-kWh battery.
While the chassis battery can transfer juice to the so-called house battery, the trip out to the campsite made me hesitant to sacrifice precious driving miles. Even sticking to 60 mph in the right lane, I still drained nearly half of the charge on the approximately 40-mile trip to the campsite. Ford quotes a 108-mile range for the high-roof E-Transit, and Winnebago says its testing revealed an average range of 120 miles. But the eRV2 traveled just 70 miles at 70 mph—we couldn’t do our standard highway test at 75 mph as the Winnebago tops out at 74 mph—and the dashboard readout never displayed more than 90 miles during our time with the vehicle, possibly due in part to the cold weather.
If you prefer to build your own, that E-Transit is still sitting on the lot in Rosetown.

The suspect from a violent knife attack on Surrey’s SkyTrain has been released with conditions less than two weeks after the incident left a 24-year-old man in the hospital in serious condition.
The suspect is a 29-year-old man from Burnaby who was arrested last Friday and has been ordered not to possess knives or contact the victim. The Metro Vancouver Transit Police are recommending charges of assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon purpose. […]
The stabbing is part of a series of recent attacks on Surrey’s SkyTrain. Just this month, a 17-year-old victim died after taking the bus near King George Station.
Time To Call In The First Mounted Division Of His Majesty’s Stompy McStompy
Federal ministers said Tuesday they are monitoring for blockades of critical roads and infrastructure as striking federal workers made good on a promise to ramp up their picket efforts by disrupting traffic and limiting access to office buildings in downtown Ottawa.
More than 150,000 federal public servants with the Public Service Alliance of Canada were on strike for the seventh straight day as their union representatives continued to negotiate with the government for a bigger wage increase and more flexibility to work remotely.
Around the National Capital Region, hundreds of striking workers made their presence felt and heard, circling buildings, chanting through megaphones and blasting music throughout the morning.
Hundreds of public servants marched across the Portage Bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau, Que., where some of the biggest federal buildings are located, holding up traffic for a short period Tuesday morning.
Via email – “I am in close proximity to the walking route for the picket line. Every time a semi goes by there are a number of different picketers who give the classic “air horn” hand gesture to get trucks to honk.”
Solidarity! Striking federal workers could continue getting regular salaries while on the picket line

The plan was a comprehensive count. With a sizable team of smart temporary hires, each looking into a different area of the #TwitterFiles, we thought counting all the mainstream news stories that would need retracting or correcting in light of information found in Twitter documents would make for an easy little sidebar, something simple for the public to digest.

How are those bank bailouts working so far? If you are First Republic Bank, maybe not as well as expected.
The alleged purpose of the emergency loans was to reassure depositors that their money was not at risk and that that there was no need to withdraw it. It seems that depositors have declared, “Thank you very much, but I’m taking my money out anyway.”
Yesterday, when discussing the First Republic Bank Q1 earnings, we said that while the collapse in deposits (which plunged from $170BN to $70BN excluding the $30BN emergency deposit injection by a bank consortium) was scary, the potential saving grace is that FRC still had $170BN in loans, i.e., assets… loans which as Bloomberg previously reported were collateralized largely by largely money-good Hamptons real estate.
Following yesterday’s earnings, where the investing public focused on the bank’s collapsing deposits while ignoring the potential capital that the $170BN in loans could generated, First Republic fell as much as 30%. Meanwhile, the shorts are piling on and according to S3 Partners, some 33% of the float is now short.
Trudeau says we shouldn’t burn oil, but process it. And build lots of nuclear
Trudeau speaks of supplying natural gas to #Germany, despite his government killing Energie Saguenay. And he wants to build lots of #nuclear, too. And he wants carbon capture, but his government won’t allow enhanced oil recovery incentives. We shouldn’t burn oil, but process it.
And he said all this in front of the German president, months after he told the German chancellor there was “no business case” for LNG.
Canada is ‘elbows deep’ in helping Haiti, Trudeau says…
The Canadian leader said his government’s focus is to intervene in an “atrocious situation” by strengthening the Haitian National Police. “What’s happening in Haiti is absolutely heartbreaking — and we need to do everything we can that will help.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday an additional $100 million in support for the police forces in Haiti amid ongoing gang-related violence.
Just yesterday videos appeared showing Haitian police beating and stoning gang members before piling tyres on top of them and setting them on fire.

Diving deeper into the report, we find the ingredient costs to make a traditional English breakfast are up a whopping 23% in March from last year. This is the most significant increase since Bloomberg created the Breakfast Index, which tracks prices of sausage, bacon, eggs, bread, butter, tomatoes, mushrooms, milk, tea, and coffee last June.

A proposed 607-hectare solar farm is not coming to southern Alberta after provincial officials determined it could cause an increase in bird deaths at Frank Lake, an internationally-recognized bird habitat.
In a decision last week, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) denied plans for the Foothills Solar Project, which would have consisted of a massive solar farm near High River, Alta., capable of generating up to 150 megawatts of power.
While the solar farm would potentially reduce greenhouse gasses in the province, the negative consequences of possible high bird mortality outweighed the potential benefits, said Geoff Scotton, an AUC spokesperson.
At this moment, Alberta’s existing 1179MW of solar is generating at 0.3% of capacity.
