Some big policy issues at play with lithium development

This is the stuff used to pull lithium out of brine, known as Plix.

In its continuing series on lithium development in Saskatchewan, there’s some significant issues. The first is commercializing a process known as Direct Lithium Extraction, without which the whole idea is going nowhere. The next issue is primacy of rights when it comes to mineral development – whose rights trump whom? And then there’s the government response to the rights issue. But if we can work these things out, there’s serious potential for a multi-billion dollar industry here on the bald prairie.

“THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!”

SENATE SPENDING SOARS!

The cost to run the Senate of Canada has soared by roughly 70 per cent in the seven years since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was first elected — an increase some say is unacceptable, given that the number of senators has remained static over the same period.

CONSERVATIVE SENATOR BLASTS!

Conservative Senate Leader Don Plett, a member of CIBA, blasted the mounting costs during the budget debate, saying he’s “really disturbed” by what he sees as a lackadaisical approach to spending by other senators and some Senate bureaucrats.

“Are Canadians getting 70 per cent more out of the Senate than they did in 2016?” Plett asked. “I was here in 2016 and I’m here now and I don’t think we’re getting 70 per cent more.”

The increase in costs has been driven largely by Senate administration — the public servants attached to the upper house.

STRONG REBUKE.

Plett’s comments prompted a strong rebuke from some Trudeau-appointed senators, who said his criticism of budget increases could be read as an attack on the bureaucrats who serve senators and their political staff.

Plett said that was not his intention.

sorry! sorry! sorry!

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Others are noticing.

As a matter of simple math and biology, populations don’t grow unless a sizable number of couples have more than two kids – and that growth isn’t healthy unless the parents stay together. It’s tough to have three kids unless a couple starts relatively early in life.

If people do follow this much-maligned, relentlessly savaged “traditional family” program, the result tends to be families that build generational wealth – both tangible property, and assets such as family connections, which are very helpful to young people leaving the nest.

It’s fascinating how much of “traditional morality” contributes to, or flows from, this simple need for young families to raise multiple children. Of course that makes sense, since those codes and customs developed over centuries of human experience.

Among those codes and customs are the way we treat children in a healthy society. We protect their innocence and prepare them for adult life by passing down traditions and wisdom. Childhood is so important precisely because it must end. It matters a great deal how and when.

The Left understands all of this, and deliberately attacks it at every point of stress. Reverse everything laid out in the previous tweets and you have exactly what’s happening in schools today, including the obliteration of childhood through sexual indoctrination.

It’s Saturday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Old Joe lies about gay people.  What I discovered at Twitter.  A cover-up is busted.  The Democrats America first policy.  And say trans or else.  Your morning meme.

Trudeau’s Canada:  CBC predicts Alberta will go socialist.  CBC explains that we are all going to die from thirst.  Education in Doug Ford’s Ontario.  He admires their basic dictatorship.  Wynne’s civil servants still running the Ontario Ministry Of Education.  Rex Murphy examines Liberal high standards.  The killing fields of liberal Canada.  Today Dear Leader burns jet fuel to Winnipeg for a funeral. At taxpayer expense of course.

Global Warming Scam News:  Just Stop Oil terrorists had better wear warm clothing.

Woke Britain:  Our world is becoming less joyful.  And Greta supports transgender fascism.

Trust The Evidence- Writing on Substack

The idea of migrating to Substack was Carl’s. We had been harassed, censored, and blocked in our efforts to understand exactly what had been going on since late winter 2020. We decided not to respond to personal attacks and not to name individuals who we knew conspired against us, although as it’s Christmas, I have made an exception for Mr Hancock. I must confess that I am astounded he is still a sitting MP on the benches of the mother of modern democracies.

On substack, you own what you write and carry the buck if you get it wrong. There are no censorship or arcane rituals like editorial peer review. We can decide even to publish some of our studies, videos of our posts, debates and interact with our paying subscribers.

There’s No Point

The Telegraph- Biggest North Sea producer refuses to drill new oil wells because of windfall tax

The North Sea licensing round was launched in October, with then business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg saying it was “more important than ever we make the most of sovereign energy resources”.
Since then, a windfall levy on oil companies, which was first introduced in May, has been increased to take the overall tax rate on North Sea producers from 40pc to 75pc until 2028.

Narrative Collapse

When Kieran Moore jumps ship to this degree, you know the jig is up.

Ontario’s chief medical officer of health waded into the controversial issue of “immunity debt” Thursday, saying the issue needs more study but it makes sense to him that pandemic public health measures such as masking are a factor in the record numbers of young children becoming seriously ill with respiratory viruses this year.

But there is, of course, a caveat. A self-fulfilling prophesy, if you like:

Dr. Kieran Moore ruled out any new mask mandates in the province unless COVID-19 changes significantly and vaccines and treatments are no longer effective.

 

Art Of The Deal

Give the stable genius his due.

An NFT collection featuring the former president dressed as a superhero, cowboy, and astronaut that could be purchased for $99 was subsequently discovered to be the “big news” that Trump teased. 

Despite this, according to some reports, the whole 45,000 NFTs of Trump have been sold out in less than 12 hours, with almost 14,000 customers buying one or more of the digital tokens.

The entire value of the Trump NFT collection as of early Friday morning is around 460 Ethereum, or $570,000.

The magistrate is calling on the people of Frankfurt to prepare for a possible power outage. “Every household should prepare for the energy crisis in order to be able to bridge ten days,” said environment officer Rosemarie Heilig (The Greens) in the city council.

The city has produced a leaflet with advice and rules of conduct . Citizens should get a battery-operated radio so that they can get information even in the event of a power failure. Matches, candles, flashlights and cash are also important. A supply of medicine and food should last for a few days.

As Heilig explained, the magistrate has set up a working group to deal with the energy crisis. In order to save energy, citizens should bleed their radiators and set them to level 3 at most. The establishment of heating rooms is being prepared. Central emergency call points are also to be set up where citizens can report emergencies if the telephone network fails.

“We don’t want to unsettle anyone or stir up fears. We don’t want a run on the supermarkets,” said Heilig. However, it is important to be prepared. The FDP city councilor Peter Thoma advises the citizens: “Buy candles and schnapps and hope that it doesn’t get that bad.”
