Tonight we continue on with our music countdown. Here is the 9th most popular song in each of five decades:
Your best tips, musical or otherwise, are much appreciated!

Usually, in winter, when a Nor’easter forms, there is a weak sfc disturbance along a frontal boundary that slowly grows via ocean moisture and heat flux. It happily moves along if and until it can phase with upper level jet stream. Then, all that available potential energy can be converted into eddy kinetic energy. That potential energy reservoir is enormous, and only a small fraction (4%) can be unlocked. But, it’s what creates the explosive deepening of a “bomb cyclone”.
With Hurricane Fiona, you are not starting at square one with a weak, shallow disturbance at 1007 mb. Instead, you have a massive, Category 3+ monster already at 935 mb. The jet energy is tapped during this rapid re-intensification process.
Explosive barely describes it.
Some background: my MS and PhD research dealt w/these post-tropical cyclones, their climatology, and energy fluxes.
This would be most exceptional Atlantic Ocean case by far.

And you can make it go wronger.
Pleasing your enemies does not turn them into friends;
Since the opening of the Boundary Dam Unit 3 Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage Project in late 2014, Saskatchewan’s coal-fired power industry, and Estevan in particular, has been waiting for a clear message from the provincial government whether it would pursue additional carbon capture projects. To date, nothing has come forward, but the minister responsible indicated on Sept. 20 it would not happen.
Hanging in the balance is the future of both Coronach and Estevan, with the Poplar River Power Station at Coronach, Boundary Dam and Shand Power Stations at Estevan, their respective coal mines, workforces and communities.
On Sept. 20, the clearest indication to date came from the Minister of Crown Investment Corp. Don Morgan. The most recent cabinet shuffle placed all the major Crown corporations, including SaskPower, under one ministry under Morgan. His statements during an announcement on two possible sites for small modular reactor locations did not bode well for the future of coal in this province.

Covexit Notes- Unknowns & Suspense with Canadian Travel Restrictions
The ArriveCan app is closely linked to the digital identity objectives of the Canadian government. From what “leaked” in the mainstream media, we already know that the use of the app will be made voluntary, i.e. will not be scrapped, meaning that it could be made compulsory again in the future. (with a next variant?)
The Canadian government digital ambitions were made somewhat clearer in a report mid-August, and it claims:
Still waiting for the evidence.
GUEST OP-ED: Historic septic dig casts doubt on Kamloops residential school burial site claims
In recent years, legacy media outlets appear to have forsaken fundamental journalistic principles. Instead of reporting the news, they instead seem focused on spinning The Narrative™. In the process, they have not hesitated to explicitly or implicitly accuse individuals & groups of the very worst of attributes.
Today, on James Topp’s Telegram channel, the following was published:
Thanks to your support we were able to retain Mr. David Elmaleh and his law-firm RE|LAW LLP to take forward our legal proceedings in regards to the article written by Global News on the 18th of August. Ms. Gilmore, Global News, and the parent company Corus Entertainment Inc. have been served with a Notice of Libel. We are publicizing this development to mitigate against the reputational harm Mr. Topp has sustained by being called a white supremacist on the internet.
We are very pleased that Mr. Elmaleh will represent us if such matters come up again in the future.
We will try to keep you up to date to the progress.

Via Glen Greenwald: These large corporations are now openly colluding to jointly de-platform or remove from the financial system anyone whose views violate liberal-left cultural dogma. PayPal is partnering with ADL – a standard liberal group – to identify “extremists”
PayPal Holdings Inc (PYPL.O) is partnering with non-profit organisation the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to investigate how extremist and hate movements in the United States take advantage of financial platforms to fund their criminal activities.
The initiative will be led through ADL’s Center on Extremism, and will focus on uncovering and disrupting the financial flows supporting white supremacist and anti-government organizations. […]
The information collected through the initiatives will be shared with other firms in the financial industry, law enforcement and policymakers, PayPal said.
Over the years, the San Jose, California-based company has developed sophisticated systems to help prevent illegal activity and flows through its platform. It hopes to have a positive social impact by sharing some of its capabilities, Aaron Karczmer, PayPal’s chief risk officer and executive vice president, risk and platforms said.
Such as these white supremacists;

After mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth in such a sombre manner, Canada’s Prime Minister is off to Japan to pose in more sad trombone photos. Maybe he’ll pose in full Geisha regalia while he sucks back the shochu.
Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was a dedicated, visionary leader who brought Canada and Japan closer together. Later this week, I’ll travel to Japan to attend his funeral – and to reaffirm Canada’s commitment to our partnership with Japan. More details here: https://t.co/OBB0I48POB

I hope that the team has his private plane all boozed up with nothing but the best.
But don’t forget the most important thing:
National Post- Uh-oh, Trudeau’s back to not thinking about monetary policy again
Yet the same morning, the Liberal government announced a $4.5 billion package of benefit increases that will goose inflation and more than likely force the bank to move further and faster than it might otherwise have done. As the prime minister crooned dramatically in London this past weekend, this is the real life, this is not fantasy, and there is no escape from reality.
Let this be a lesson to them;
The Department of Justice announced today federal criminal charges against 47 defendants for their alleged roles in a $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally-funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“These indictments, alleging the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme charged to date, underscore the Department of Justice’s sustained commitment to combating pandemic fraud and holding accountable those who perpetrate it,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “In partnership with agencies across government, the Justice Department will continue to bring to justice those who have exploited the pandemic for personal gain and stolen from American taxpayers.” […]
“This was a brazen scheme of staggering proportions,” said U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger for the District of Minnesota. “These defendants exploited a program designed to provide nutritious food to needy children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they prioritized their own greed, stealing more than a quarter of a billion dollars in federal funds to purchase luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property abroad. I commend the work of the skilled investigators and prosecutors who unraveled the lies, deception, and mountains of false documentation to bring this complex case to light.”
Corruption of such magnitude should be left to experts.
No doubt in the name of “equity”, here’s a glimpse at the upcoming ballots in Vancouver.
Regarding those rubber boobs and the subsequent contortions of ‘progressive’ commentators:
Two thoughts occur. Firstly, he is not a she. The teacher in question is a forty-something man with a mental health problem, and children should not be coerced to pretend otherwise. Secondly, using the word traumatising to mock or dismiss the children’s possible feelings on the subject is a sly evasion, a deflection by hyperbole. It seems more likely that some pupils will find the educator’s behaviour distracting, uncomfortable or obnoxiously gratuitous. A piss-take or shit-test at their expense.
Female students, for instance, may not feel entirely affirmed by a grotesque parody of their sex being enacted daily by a supposedly grown man, to whom they are expected to defer. Some may see such behaviour as an imposition, a provocation, a wilful overstepping of boundaries. Which of course it is. Whether the motive is lawsuit-trolling – “I’m an oppressed sexual minority, I dare you to fire me” – or just an unhinged narcissistic compulsion. Neither of which bode well for any involuntary participants.

Biden’s America: The media shamelessly runs cover for Democrats. When Yoga people become conservative. The Biden 60 Minutes interview. The gospel of open borders. Pelosi barks orders at Britain. Get a Porsche not children. Your morning meme.
