Seems Vaguely Familiar
What happens when you combine an all-in or “jungle” primary with ranked-choice voting in the general election? Putting the two modern “innovations” on elections together in Alaska produced this absurd result, in which Republicans lost a House seat despite getting 60% of the vote.
And get ready for it to happen all over again in two months.
Another Sin Tax
Not a fan of sugary drinks anymore myself but as a kid I used to love a coke Slurpee on a hot day. Yes, too much sugar can be bad for you ( he types while sipping black coffee) but this is another tax on something that makes people happy.
CTV- Newfoundland and Labrador’s tax on sugary drinks takes effect
The province’s sugar sweetened beverage tax — which adds 20 cents per litre to the cost of soft drinks, as well as sweetened fruit-flavoured juices, iced teas, lemonades, sports and energy drinks, fountain sodas and slushies — is in place as of Thursday.
The charge also applies to concentrates, at a cost of 20 cents per litre that can be made after mixing, and will be charged on top of the provincial sales tax.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
Brian Zinchuk: At the moment SaskPower set a summer consumption record, wind power was generating just 4.7 % of its capacity
“Extreme heat drives up electricity consumption, and higher peaks are a sign of the growing demand for power in Saskatchewan,” said Kory Hayko, SaskPower Vice-President of Transmission and Industrial Services, in a release. “Demand will continue to grow in the coming years, and SaskPower is making significant investments in the grid to ensure that need is met with reliable and sustainable power.”
At that time of the peak, SaskPower was getting just 29 megawatts from its eight wind facilities, most of which operated under power purchase agreements. Saskatchewan has a total of 615 megawatts of nameplate wind power capacity, meaning that when the demand was highest, wind was generating just 4.7 per cent of its installed capacity.
As weather tends to track from west to east, it probably wasn’t much of as surprise, as the day before, Alberta saw its wind power generation drop to 0.5 per cent of its capacity at 4:08 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30. At that time, Alberta was producing just 13 megawatts out of a nameplate capacity of 2,589 megawatts.
Note the word “sustainable” in the Kory Hayko quote. That’s code for “we’re paying millions for unreliable crap to appease the climate gods”.
This province sits upon thousands of years’ worth of reliable energy sources in the form of uranium, coal, oil and gas. Yet, we continue to witness purported pragmatic, conservative politicians squander our money and the stability of the electrical grid — while knowing they’re squandering our money and the stability of the grid — to appease a hard left environmental lobby who hates us and wants us dead. Enough. Enough with the virtue signalling at our expense.
We had a power outage here a couple of days ago. The power just went down, for no good reason. It happens relatively frequently, and brownouts are increasingly common. If SaskPower can’t keep the lights on during a calm, sunny Saskatchewan summer afternoon — something’s wrong.

Behave yourselves in the comment section I’ll be checking in now and then to make sure things don’t get out of hand. Vigorous debate is fine, but let’s keep the insults and dehumanizing stuff down to a dull roar.
Global- Russia’s Gazprom extends Nord Stream 1 shutdown, citing faulty turbine
It said the turbine could not operate safely until the leak was repaired, and gave no timeframe for the resumption of gas supplies via the pipeline, which had been due to return to operation early on Saturday after a three-day maintenance break.
Addendum, from Kate: Francisco has my full backing. I’ve considered closing comments here recently due to the repeated abuse of this platform by a handful of people who use it as their private pissing match game board. Remember that everyone who posts and curates this blog is a VOLUNTEER. We all have real lives and real livelihoods to pursue. Don’t be a net drag on this blog.

We were promised there were nuclear secrets: “I was a former federal prosecutor, United States attorney. Let me tell you what this is about. Good prosecutors with good cases play it straight. They don’t need to play games, they don’t need to shop for judges, they don’t need to leak intelligence that may or may not exist. And in this case, this tells you that the government didn’t find what they were looking for.”

I wonder which Liberal Party donor got this contract? Justin’s health experts want you to have a a shot every 90 days.
