From Storming the Beaches in Normandy to Suffering Microaggressions in Ottawa

What has happened to the once noble, proud people of Canada? When did Permanent Victimhood replace Honour, Pride, & Dignity? Has this devolution of the populace occurred solely because of Justin Trudeau or was he merely canny enough to capitalize on a large voting block of truly pathetic grown children?

Are all residents of Ottawa really this pathetic?

Friday On Turtle Island

China Virus News:  Lockdowns caused collateral cancer burden.

Global Warming Scams:  Eco-terrorists in Germany.  Farmers rebel in the island prison of New Zealand. The climate zealots want to destroy civilization.  And Rex Murphy writes about the green zealots.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Justin’s CBC is outraged about conservative minded people running for school boards.   And Justin’s CTV also warns about school board trustees. The UN takes over Vancouver.  The Trudeau grocery bill.  Our Dear Leader is still in Vancouver.   Today he will be appearing before his loyal media to throw money around.

Biden’s America:  The out of touch president.  They admitted it and were trying to cover it up.  The FBI and BLM.  Old Joe says Fetterman’s wife will be great in the senate.  Your morning meme.

Today In Islam:  In the UK its time for an Islamic state.  And London’s Islamic police force.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars

This summer my 2002 Chev Astro van turned over 350,000km. I’ve put 270K of those on it myself after buying it used in 2013 – for $7.500.

But what would someone like me know about the economics of driving?

Some electric car owners, especially those with earlier models, have been shocked to find out how much it costs to replace their batteries.

“I don’t understand why they make the battery so expensive when you have to change it,” Scarborough resident Phyllis Lau said, who owns a 2018 KIA Soul all-electric vehicle.

Lau’s electric SUV came with a warranty for the battery that covers 160,000 km, or eight years, whichever comes first.

The family said this year their vehicle clocked in more than 170,000 kilometres, which put them outside the warranty period when the battery failed.

When the vehicle wouldn’t work, Lau took it to her local dealership and was told it needed a battery replacement. With the new battery, labour and taxes, she said it would cost about $23,000.

Cute paperweight you got there.

Canada has Lots

Go talk to our Prime Minister.

BBC- Fuel protests gripping more than 90 countries

A third were countries which had no protests at all over fuel in 2021. For example, Spain had none in 2021, but saw 335 individual rallies just in March this year.

In Indonesia there have been more than 600 protests over petrol so far this year compared to just 19 in 2021. In Italy, there were over 200 in the first eight months of 2022 compared to just two last year. And in Ecuador, there were over 1,000 protests over fuel in the month of June alone.

Most surprising to Henry Wilkinson, the chief intelligence officer from Dragonfly, a security and intelligence service, is where the protests are occurring.

Okay fuel is a problem but at least the world still has lots of food…

Oh, The Humanity

Doomberg (behind paywall)

Despite historic spreads between the price of natural gas in North America and the rest of the world, the drama-teacher-turned-cosplay-Prime-Minister professed to be unable to find a compelling business case for the proposal (although he did leave the door open for further consideration). In Trudeau’s fossil fuel-free vision of the future, such multi-billion-dollar investments will be obsolete before they could generate an economic return. How embarrassing it must have been for members of the European elite to submit themselves to the whims of the ultimate “legacy” admission to the political arena.

Instead, the two countries entered into a bizarre agreement to develop a “transatlantic hydrogen supply chain”. […]

We were a little dumbfounded when saw these headlines. Surely, this must be a joke? Alas, like much of what emanates from the current slate of Western leaders, the two countries appear to be as serious in intent as they are unserious in understanding. While we could write an entire piece demonstrating why this effort is destined to be just another multi-billion-dollar boondoggle…

Via @max_gagliardi; As someone who has spent their career focused on the transportation, compression and cooling of gas, the delta here between nat gas and hydrogen is staggering

AP News- NHL, its workforce 84% white, sets baseline to up diversity

“The whole purpose behind doing a workforce study is to provide a baseline: a fact-based baseline so that you can begin to develop very intentional and specific strategies around where you need to hire, how you need to hire, how you need to improve your brand,” said Kim Davis, the NHL’s executive vice president of social impact, growth and legislative affairs.

If everyone’s going to need batteries, the lithium might as well come from Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is in the very early stages of lithium exploration and development. Say what you want about electric vehicles, everything from your iPhone to your laptop to yes, your EV, is going to require massive amounts of lithium. And Prairie Lithium of Emerald Park is the leader in this field.

It’s Thursday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  The January 6th show trial.  More evidence against the Big Guy.  Woke California puts pigs over people.  Apparently abortions can solve the problem of inflation.

Trudeau’s Canada:  The most wanted criminal.  Ottawa is so boring. Today Climate Justin burns jet fuel to British Columbia.  There he will talk to school children and Iranian Canadians.  White supremacy running rampant at the institute studying slavery in Canada.  House Speaker had to sleep under armed guard.  The Convoy was an embarrassment.

Today In Islam:  Police searching for a motive.  He only wanted to disfigure her.

Pride News:  Did you celebrate International Pronouns Day?
