1. As Dwight Eisenhower famously said in a speech in Peoria, Illinois…..”Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.”

   There are two things that Western provinces should NEVER allow the feds to interfere in….those two things are food security and energy security. Those two things should NEVER be negotiable….especially when there are fascists in Ottawa.

2. 20% of net income on heating in the UK …

   1. And will be available 24/7 this winter?

   2. Yeah but if 20 people move in it’s only 1%.

      Actually with fixed gas pipe, distribution costs, taxes, interest, if you used zero gas, or electric it would cost you thousands anyways.

      I have oil and wood. All ready for this year.

      Tip. A 70 watt heating pad, not a blanket, keeps you warm at night. Shouldn’t cost you more than 60¢ a night to run.

      Roughly….
      Heated blanket is triple.( Put the blanket next to you with regular on top)
      Electric space heater, any kind is like $5 a night.

3. Yes the politicians power-mad arseholes but people everywhere are voting for this crap.

4. Here’s cold deaths versus heat deaths for UK and some others.

   I suspect cold deaths will be much higher this winter. And the gang greens lefties will call it the eighth wave of COVID, or the ninth.

5. And Germany decides to shut in its three remaining nuclear plants.

   1. Joe…

      Typical of Politicians everywhere…in the e s SFA will occur, other than they spent 47 million on Studies w/of course a nice little kickback of 5-10% ea…

      Germans will FREEZE in their fully desired Non NUCLEAR – All Wind generating Environment, the one tgey have whined for since the ’50’s

      I wouldn’t send them a cubic meter of gas…. “Far too toxic for their liking”

      ZEro Fks given whatsoever….best go buy some Electric blankets…it’s,the only reasonably inexpensive way to stay warm.
