Perfectly Normal (For A Banana Republic)
The narrative has been set, the talking points are out.
Just slowing things down to make sure they cheat appropriately.
It’s all perfectly normal.
The voting machines just need to be cleaned.

Canadian intelligence officials have warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that China has allegedly been targeting Canada with a vast campaign of foreign interference, which includes funding a clandestine network of at least 11 federal candidates running in the 2019 election, according to Global News sources.
Delivered to the prime minister and several cabinet members in a series of briefings and memos first presented in January, the allegations included other detailed examples of Beijing’s efforts to further its influence and, in turn, subvert Canada’s democratic process, sources said.
Based on recent information from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), those efforts allegedly involve payments through intermediaries to candidates affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), placing agents into the offices of MPs in order to influence policy, seeking to co-opt and corrupt former Canadian officials to gain leverage in Ottawa, and mounting aggressive campaigns to punish Canadian politicians whom the People’s Republic of China (PRC) views as threats to its interests. […]
The briefings did not identify the 2019 candidates. But the alleged election interference network included members from both the Liberal and Conservative parties, according to sources with knowledge of the briefs.
Multiculturalism, immigration, democracy – Pick any two.
What the minister has to say about the Sask First Act, and not freezing in the dark
Here’s a deep dive interview with the minister behind the Saskatchewan First Act.
“So let’s take let’s take the power thing first of all,” Eyre said, noting the proposed Clean Electricity Standard, if adopted in its current form, would mean no fossil fueled power generation in this province by 2035.
According to SaskPower’s Where Your Power Comes From website, on any given day, coal and natural gas combined provide 65 to 84 per cent of the power in Saskatchewan. On Nov. 6, it was 77 per cent.
Eyre said, “That’s a federal policy which we hope will never see the light of day, but which is moving along. We will freeze in the dark. And we know that. Saskatoon (is) powered by the Queen Elizabeth, a natural gas-powered power station. The entire City of Saskatoon (would be) in huge trouble.”

Devils vs. Average Americans
DEVILS = Democrats Espousing Very Inflammatory Language Simultaneously
Though I’m Canadian, I have a strong sense of what many Americans are thinking these days. Here’s my condensed take on the collective thoughts of many:
DEVILS: If you don’t vote for us then democracy, as we know it, is over for good.
Average Joe: Uh huh
DEVILS: Don’t believe your lying eyes, we’re not really in a recession.
Average Jane: Uh huh
DEVILS: We’re the ones who believe in freedom of choice, not those terrible MAGA Republicans.
Average Joe: Uh huh
DEVILS: If you disagree with biological males competing against women in sports then you’re a transphobe and a bigot.
Average Jane: Uh huh
DEVILS: We think there should be amnesty for all decisions we made about Covid lockdowns, injections, and masks.
Average Joe: Uh huh
DEVILS: Parents should have no say in the curriculum taught to their kids.
Average Jane: Oh really?!
DEVILS: In fact, parents who speak out too loudly against school board officials shall be deemed domestic terrorists.
Average Joe: Oh Really?!?
DEVILS: All children must get jabbed with whatever we uhhh, the CDC, says. They’re the experts and know much better than parents what is best for children.
Average Jane: OH Really?!?
DEVILS: Elections are very complicated so many vote tallies may take at least a week to figure out.
Average Jane: OH REALLY?!?
Average Joe & Average Jane: Where’s the closest place I can cast my vote????
It’s Tuesday On Turtle Island
Biden’s America: A great American. The midterm election special. Democrat chokes black woman. The Biden crime family. A crazy old man goes to Maryland. Your morning meme.
Global Warming Scam News: World’s top emitters snub summit. We are all going to die unless we submit to the UN. Eco-terrorists demand reparations.
Today In Islam: Muslim migrant assaults two cops. Diversity in Sweden.
Fascist China News: Commies warn Britain. And Hollywood’s communists.
Trudeau’s Canada: Base of Queen Victoria statue to be removed. Education in Ontario. Rex Murphy writes about Freeland’s Disney subscription. Justin is having a wonderful time. Today Climate Justin burns jet fuel to New Brunswick. There he will pretend to care about the military and veterans. Trudeau’s CBC rewards itself.

The end of entrepreneurship
When my rental property got to the point where it needed substantial upgrades, I took into consideration the hassles of chasing tenants for rent and concluded that it was best to have the fire department use it for a practice burn. I never regretted that decision.
Once the impact of rising interest rates fully collides with deadbeat tenants using the power of the state to delay eviction, there will be very little left of the rental housing market in this country.
Just last year, Marco had two houses to his name, but for months has been sleeping in his car — all because his tenants, whom he’s been unable to evict, haven’t paid their rent.
Marco, 33, lost his marital home in a separation agreement in January. He still owns an income property — a two-suite house in Collingwood, Ont. — but says his upstairs tenant hasn’t paid up since June; the one downstairs hasn’t since February.

SaskPower is literally doubling down on wind and solar power production. Expect lots of giant stinking fans and shiny panels to come
They’re going to double wind and solar capacity. But on Oct. 3, all our wind produced just 7% of its capacity.
It’s Not About The Virus
The Spectator- Zero-Covid is the new one-child policy
Like China’s cruel and crude attempt at population control, zero-Covid has become an industry in itself with its own enormous bureaucracy and army of zealous enforcers, whose work is a measure of loyalty to the party and its leader. As with one-child, abuse has become routine, and voices warning of the obvious economic damage are suppressed or ignored. The one-child policy sought to control women’s bodies, zero-Covid is about broader social control. Both seek to tightly constrain the way people live their lives. Like one-child, zero-Covid has developed a political logic of its own, divorced from its original purpose of protecting health – a Frankenstein monster of a policy.
Democrats Are Agents For The Normalization Of Pedophilia
The transgender agenda appears to have weaseled its way onto the ballot in two states, but voters may not know it. Hidden in the language of two proposed state constitutional amendments is a “right” to transgender medical interventions that would undermine parental rights and make children vulnerable to “treatments” that would leave them scarred, stunted, and infertile, critics allege.
The SDA 2022 Midterm Results Contest
In the 2022 mid-terms, there are 35 U.S. Senate seats on the ballot.
The U.S. Senate has 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats (including two independents). Democrats control the chamber as the vice-president can break tie votes. There are 35 seats up in 2022 – including a special election in Oklahoma – of which 21 are held by the GOP. That party can retake control with a net gain of one or more seats.
In the House, all 435 districts are up for grabs.
The seats of all 435 representatives will be up for election. The seats of five of the six non-voting members of the U.S. House will be up for election as well.
The results of the 2022 U.S. House elections will determine whether Democrats maintain their majority or Republicans gain control of the chamber. Heading into the election, Democrats hold a 220-212 majority in the U.S. House with three vacancies. Republicans need to gain a net of five districts to win a majority in the chamber.
And don’t forget the Governors.
Of the 36 gubernatorial seats up for re-election in 2022, twenty are Republican, and sixteen are Democrat.
Republicans are defending six governorships in states President Joe Biden (D) won in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Democrats are defending one governorship in a state that Donald Trump won (R) in 2020: Kansas.

Going down….
Will the slide of the Canadian dollar stop at 70 cents U.S.? Many SDA readers would consider this to be wishful thinking since the very problems that the article identifies are significantly worse for us than for our American cousins.
“Canada has roughly two times the reliance on real estate, has experienced a sharper correction, and has higher mortgages roll-over risks than the U.S.” said the economists.
TD estimates that by the end of the year, debt servicing costs for households will be 30 per cent higher than in the first quarter of 2021, with the average borrower spending an extra $2,500 a year just on debt.
