It’s not often an oil company CEO sells his company to run for provincial politics, becoming the leader of an upstart party in the process. But that’s exactly what Jon Hromek has done. And as someone coming from industry, his thoughts on energy transition, CO2 and coal differ from a lot of the other politicians in Saskatchewan, or for that matter, Canada.

A Don’t Hurt Me Parade in Portland
The most Portland thing of all at this week’s Pride Parade was the guy in the assless denim overalls. It was the epitome of a queer Pacific Northwest mash-up.
Portland’s Pride Parade was in July this year because, while in the entire known universe all of June has been designated Pride Month, Pride Northwest, out of sheer politeness, and to “avoid overlapping with other significant cultural events in the Rose City,” moved their signature parade to July.
In fact, they moved the 10th annual Portland Trans Pride March into July as well. And last year, the Pride Parade was in July, too. Funny that. Is this evidence of Pride Northwest being polite, or greedy—greedy for more attention, more bandwidth from the citizens of Portland, more money from their corporate sponsors?
I’m going with greedy.

True North- Inmate serving near 8-year sentence escapes from healing centre in Edmonton
“In the current fiscal year, there have been three escapees from Stan Daniels Healing Centre, with one of those offenders having already been apprehended,” a spokesperson for Correctional Service Canada told True North.
The Stan Daniels Healing Centre is a Section 81 facility operated by the Native Counselling Services of Alberta. These facilities are specifically used to house some Indigenous inmates where they can be offered “culturally appropriate services and programs to offenders in a way that incorporates Indigenous values, traditions and beliefs,” the correctional service says.

Two SDA favourites, Neil Oliver and Gord Magill discuss the state of Canada.
Given the disastrous outcomes of Covid pandemic policy and the massive backlash that it created, one would think that governments would go out of their way to avoid giving too much notice to those responsible for such fiascos, but apparently the government of Manitoba thinks otherwise.
Manitoba’s chief public health officer, Dr. Brent Roussin is a physician, law school graduate, and familiar face to Manitobans as the province’s top public health authority and spokesperson during daily COVID-19 pandemic news conferences. A specialist in public health and preventive medicine, Dr. Roussin also brings an understanding of administrative law that was particularly helpful during the province’s COVID-19 response.
Functionaries like Roussin basically assumed the role of provincial dictator and divided their fiefdoms between “essential” and “non-essential” businesses, bankrupting many in the process. They also implemented such inanities such as restaurant masking rules and, in Manitoba, the bizarre measure that one could only golf with members of one’s household. Why do some insist on honoring such fools?

In the UK, several “Just Stop Oil” protesters have received 4 to 5 year prison sentences. The folks at Podcast of the Lotus Eaters outline what happened.
Every one of these protesters appears to come from wealthy, very entitled lives:
It’s not hard to poke fun at today’s cohort of climate activists. The sheer number of double-barrelled names makes writing jokes feel too easy. But what isn’t so funny is watching the whining from these posh protesters when faced with the consequences of their actions.
I am die-hard when it comes to the freedom to protest. I’d like to see the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act repealed and the talk of buffer zones around political offices squashed. It’s outrageous that citizens now have to prove to police officers that they’re being the right level of “noisy” to freely challenge our political leaders.
A crisis situation is unfolding in the California desert. Thousands of people headed to Las Vegas have been stuck on the I-40 for many hours, running out of gas and water. This is all due to the lithium battery truck fire that closed down I-15 yesterday.
#Baker #California I-15 closed near #Baker after a semi-truck carrying lithium batteries caught fire Friday morning. The fire was reported at approx 6:30am. I-15 was closed in both directions by 8:30am.
#CaliforniaHighwayPatrol and the #SanBernadinoFireDept advised the semi-truck overturned while hauling a “connex of lithium ion batteries.”
As of this moment the freeway remains #closed and thousands of people are stuck between #California and #LasVegas. With the current temperature at 108° and all vehicles stopped, people have their pets, elderly family members and they are running out of fuel, battery charge, food, water, medications etc. Some have been stuck since the 0830 closure yesterday morning. They have no update on when it will reopen. I-15 closure and I-40 is at a stand still. The last pic is a screenshot of traffic minutes ago.
