It’s Probably Nothing
The Telegraph- Companies collapse at fastest rate since financial crisis as energy bills soar
The sharp rise in energy bills was cited as the biggest problem for businesses, while difficulties paying debt, rising costs of raw materials and supply chain disruptions also took their toll.
While the squeeze on finances has hit all businesses, construction, retail and accommodation and food services suffered the highest number of insolvencies in the first half of the year.
Sanctions War 2.0
Reuters- U.S. tries to hobble China chip industry with new export rules
The Biden administration published a sweeping set of export controls on Friday, including a measure to cut China off from certain semiconductor chips made anywhere in the world with U.S. equipment, vastly expanding its reach in its bid to slow Beijing’s technological and military advances.
Exposing The Grift
Globe and Mail- Two Canadian tech companies planning hackathons to show ArriveCan should not have cost $54-million
As they were discussing the Globe and Mail report that total federal spending on the ArriveCan app is on pace to reach $54-million this year – more than double what the government had recently said had been spent – one staff member said he bet he could build it in two days.
The New Flu
The Canadian Authorities have a new target on their radar:
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is advising Canadians not to go shopping for cross-border turkey deals this year due to avian influenza outbreaks.
In a press release issued Thursday, the agency said several states and provinces have outbreaks of bird flu or H5N1, a virus that spreads quickly among chickens, ducks, quail and other fowl, through close contact with infected birds or their excrement. It is almost always lethal for animals, but it is rare for humans to contract the virus.
Given how Canadian Public Health Authorities have destroyed trust & confidence in themselves over the past 2.5 years, one wonders if every Canadian traveler will be completely forthright about their purchases.

It’s Saturday On Turtle Island
Biden’s America: The week in whoppers. Jordan Peterson discusses eugenics. Biden’s IRS agents steal PPP loan money. Hunter Biden’s laptop shows deal with Qatar. Your morning meme.
Trudeau’s Canada: Justin’s Toronto Star forbids negative talk about Muslim garb. The bought and paid for media will get more money. Another victim of white colonialism. I’m not learning LGBTQ history in school. Strange, I thought that was all they taught now.
Woke Britain: It just gets crazier every day in the UK. Ocean Rebellion protest with dead fish. And transgender Shakespeare.

Fraser Institute- Science exposes Ottawa’s ill-founded war on plastics
by the government’s own accounting, regulating plastic waste into extinction by 2030 is a quixotic endeavour that will cost more than it will deliver in benefits to the environment, health or safety. In fact, it will perversely lead to a significant increase in waste production consisting of the substitute materials Canadians will employ in lieu of SUPs. And other studies also show that alternatives to SUPs have worse impacts on the environment—they create more conventional air and water pollutants, they lead to the generation of more greenhouse gases, they consume more energy over their lifecycles and they’ll likely increase the burden of disease facing the Canadian public.

When is the last time the obsolete media didn’t blame global warming on something like this?
Bloomberg- Dwindling Mississippi Grounds Barges, Threatens Shipments
The logjam is coming at the worst time as the soybean and corn harvests are each about one-fifth complete and supplies will start piling up. The river woes, coupled with a soaring dollar, are destroying demand for US supplies even with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine still impeding shipments in the Black Sea.
Meanwhile, any snags in fertilizer shipments — which farmers rely on to plant crops for next year — are happening as nutrients to grow food have soared and as Hurricane Ian temporarily shut production at a Mosaic Co. fertilizer plant in Florida.
Ethics of Emergencies
It’s a bit late in the game for the left-wing corporate media to start noticing items like this, but perhaps it’s an indication that support for such measures is thankfully dwindling.
Since day one of the pandemic, anyone who questioned the usefulness or cost of ArriveCan was met with a blizzard of condemnation along the lines of “How dare you put a price on saving lives!”.
Canadian tech leaders who have built apps for large corporate clients have described Ottawa’s $54-million price tag for ArriveCan as outrageous, explaining that in their experience, most apps are built for less than $1-million.
They also question why the government did not turn directly to a Canadian app developer rather than 23 separate contractors and an unknown number of additional subcontractors.

Solar panels are not economically recyclable. The panel layers are fused in such a way that it would require even more fossil energy to "recycle" them than to build new panels. There are many startup companies trying to raise capital under the guise of recycling but… pic.twitter.com/evG7yv6C4E
