The Great Negotiator

“Translated from Korean”

Hyundai Motor is effectively withdrawing its planned 3.4 trillion won hydrogen investment in Canada.

This project wasn’t just a simple overseas investment.

It was one of the key cards in the ‘Team Korea’ package, centered around Hanwha Ocean, aimed at securing the contract for Canada’s next-generation submarine project.

The approach was that if Canada chose Korean submarines, Hyundai Motor would build a large-scale hydrogen ecosystem locally as well.

However, as the submarine project tilted toward Germany, Hyundai Motor no longer had reason to continue the massive local investment.

Scratch A Leftist

Antisemitism is in their bones and in their blood.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, voted to defund aid and defense sales to Israel. He also explained his vote, but he dropped an interesting nugget buried within his criticism of Israel:

To date, my family and I have had our home vandalized, a fire has been set in my driveway, my neighbors’ lives have been disrupted by demonstrations in the middle of the night, town halls meant to be forums for dialogue have been shut down, and a staff member has been physically assaulted. Those who engage in this type of behavior model a dangerous form of corrosive politics that seeks to intimidate those who disagree with them. We must be able to have civil discourse if we want to solve difficult problems, and I remain committed to open, respectful engagement.

Seems it worked.

Canadian Exceptionalism

If opposition to concrete buildings full of computers is this intense, that leads me to believe that a pipeline from Alberta to Sarnia is never going to happen. It beggars belief that Wab Kinew would kill the idea of a data center in Manitoba, yet propose a pipeline to Churchill. The bad economics of that aside, does he think that the greenies will sign off on a pipeline crossing the tundra?

Olds residents have been rallying against a proposal for a 10-building campus with a total of 1.4 gigawatts of gas-fired power generation. In June, opponents held a protest in Vancouver to demonstrate against the opening of AI data centres. In Hamilton, a proposal to put a data centre campus on the harbourfront has sparked fierce pushback.

There Goes The Narrative

Ann Widdecombe had a very eventful death.

First she died from natural causes, then she was bludgeoned to death by a white man – let’s be very clear, a white man, we found a white man everyone – during a “bungled burglary” – then another white man, definitely a white man, was arrested who “wasn’t politically motivated” and had just randomly driven 300 miles from Rotherham to Ann’s house and back with a weapon.

Then it turned out that yes, it’s being investigated by counter terror police and the suspect is a man who was reading communist literature and has learning difficulties. To be honest, if he’s a communist, you don’t need to tell me he’s got learning difficulties, because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be a communist.

Ace: The Lotus Eaters podcast pointed out the UK cops now routinely hide the race of a suspect — unless he’s white, in which case they repeat it endlessly, as they did here.
