This afternoon, while touring around New England, I met Mark in the Park:
His presence clearly offends all of the usual suspects. I believe this is the same “Mark”.

The peddling of Canada’s Indigenous mass grave and genocide libels’
… focusing solely on the recent history of both the genocide and mass grave allegations neglects their historical roots and impact, namely that what could be called an Aboriginal-style blood libel was promoted, perhaps even invented, by a Christian minister decades earlier.
The fabricator is a still active propagandist named Kevin Annett, a defrocked United Church of Canada cleric who began peddling poisonous snake oil by the bucketful to gullible Indigenous and non-Indigenous people 30 years ago.

Blacklock’s- Can Spend 4 Hours On Hold
Taxpayers can wait up to four hours to speak to a Canada Revenue agent, says in-house federal research. The Revenue Agency earlier acknowledged taxpayers who prefer email will wait an average 57 days for a reply.
Even taxpayers able to speak to an agent found it unsatisfactory, said the report. “Some participants reported receiving what they perceived to be inaccurate or incomplete information,” it said.

Broken Landing Gear
Economist Frank Shostak offers these insights as to how an economy comes to be saddled with massive malinvestments (EV plants come to mind) which must eventually be liquidated in a painful recession.
Whenever a central bank tampers with financial markets and manipulates the market interest rates this falsifies individuals’ “instructions” to businesses. As a result, businesses invest in the wrong infrastructure (i.e., not in line with individuals’ priorities). This ultimately undermines the process of wealth generation.
For instance, the central bank lowers the market interest rates while individuals have not lowered their time preferences. This means that people have not increased the supply of real savings. Businesses, however, attempt to increase investments in response to the central bank artificially lowering the interest rates. This will fail since there are not enough real savings to fund the buildup of the capital structure at that time.
Interesting Idea
Blacklock’s- Pay Seniors To Stay At Home
Parliament should pay Canadians over 65 to stay in their homes, say cabinet advisors.
“Aging at home can be understood as enabling healthy aging in one’s home and community,” said a panel report. “It also refers to the ability to live safely, independently and comfortably in one’s own home and community.”
Data show seniors in Canada last year outnumbered children for the first time in the nation’s history. An Actuarial Report On The Old Age Security Program counted 7.7 million seniors and 7.5 million children.

CP24- York Region Crime Statistics
MacSween said the region has also seen a 92 per cent increase in shootings, with a total of 46 in the region since January.
“Almost all of the guns being used in these crimes are illegal handguns, many of which are being smuggled across the border from the U.S.,” MacSween said. “The surge in gun violence can be attributed to organized crime rings who are obtaining and using illegal handguns to commit a number of offences.”

Critical minerals incentives
Lithium in SK, Part 31: Critical Mineral Incentives implemented. Lithium and helium, as well as other critical minerals, are impacted. There’s a lot going on in the lithium space right now, and more stories to come.
The story includes the full press conference, as well as a video from Arizona Lithium showing an animation of the process.
Also: A search committee has been struck to look for a new head of the Alberta Energy Regulator. Sounds like there might be some politics involved. Prior to his stint as CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator, Laurie Pushor was Saskatchewan Deputy Minister of Energy and Resources from 2015-2020.
