Finally, our peer-reviewed paper is published.
WIV created an undisclosed MERS synthetic virus and was swapping out receptor binding domains.
MERS is 30% lethal but, at least in nature, it fails to support human-to-human transmission.
Why is a #CCP supported lab doing this? […]
Remember, a key claim of the ‘Proximal Origin’ paper was that a lab would never use an undisclosed backbone for dangerous research.
Here is the proof that claim is wrong.

Housing Bust?
In an economy beset by exponentially rising debt, rising interest rates are a ticking time bomb. Higher rates force the marginal borrower to forgo purchases, while the marginal entrepreneur is forced into insolvency. This is particularly true for the Canadian real estate market, and it’s noteworthy that even the leftist media is starting to pick up on this.
Take a look at this housing development in Kitchener Ontario.…The project got city approval in 2020 and the first tower was supposed to be moving ready by 2024 but that didn’t happen. Instead only one of the four towers was started and it wasn’t finished. This project is one of more than 200 housing developments that went insolvent just in the last year alone that rate of insolvency is nearly 50% higher than the 10-year average.

August 23, 2024: Reader Tips
This evening, we slow things down and present this subdued documentary about William Blake, an Edwardian Photographer.
Do share your subdued or more vibrant news tips.
Finishing up my visit in NYC, I drove to Boston via this circuitous route. While walking around in Mystic, CT with my Vancouver friends, a man walked past and said, “I absolutely love your shirt!” It reads, “Proud member of a small fringe minority with unacceptable views”. He and his wife are retired NYC police officers. He was SUPER knowledgeable about the Truckers Protest, Pierre Poilievre’s infamous interview eating an apple, and a whole lot of other things going on in Canuckistan. Great fellow!

Global- Air Canada pilots, ‘resolved and unified,’ vote for strike.
The results released Thursday show 98 per cent of Air Canada pilots represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) took part in the vote and of those participating members, 98 per cent voted in favour of striking.
How It Started
Your Move, Jagmeet
I looked him right in the eyes, I said. We’ll never support […] back to work, binding arbitration.”
Freight traffic on Canada’s two largest rail networks could resume “within days,” Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon said Thursday after sending two labour disputes to binding arbitration.
Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CPKC) locked out 9,300 engineers, conductors and yard workers just after midnight Thursday, capping months of increasingly tense and bitter labour negotiations.
Less than 17 hours after the lockout began, MacKinnon announced he’s using his powers as labour minister to step in.
Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code allows the government to refer a labour dispute to the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to find a solution.
It’s all bullshit, of course.
Strongly worded tweet update!
Punchline: Air Canada pilots vote 98% in favour of strike action.
Food Prof Been Sayin’
Remember this report filed in October 2022? It included many recommendations made by the task force, to which we contributed.
On page 32, it states that ‘The Minister of Labour should urgently convene a council of experts to develop a new collaborative labour relations paradigm that would reduce the likelihood of strikes, threats of strikes, or lockouts that risk the operation or fluidity of the national transportation supply chain.’
Yet, absolutely nothing was done. Here’s a link to the report:
Hold Your Horses
Blacklock’s- Adler Appointment Not Final
Broadcaster Charles Adler has not yet met legal requirements to become a Senator, authorities confirmed yesterday.
“An appointment to the Senate is made by summons from the Governor General under the Great Seal of Canada effective from the date of the writ of summons,” said Alison Korn, spokesperson for the Senate. The required legal notice typically takes two weeks from the issue of a news release.
Spokesperson Korn also confirmed under Senate Procedure And Practice no appointee may take a Senate seat without first signing the roll and taking an oath of allegiance to the King. “Yes, that is correct,” she said.
Both legal requirements must occur in person on a day when the Senate is in session. The Senate is currently on summer recess. It is scheduled to return Tuesday, September 17.

Toronto Star- Liberals go hog wild on immigration, hoping to secure victory in 2029 and beyond
One has to wonder if Trudeau has weaponized our Immigration system in an effort to build a new base of more than six million grateful future Liberal voters. What might look like “incompetence” may actually be the Liberal 2029 election strategy at work.
We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
Just when things were starting to look up for wind power, new troubles are pulling it back down.
In recent years, soaring inflation, supply-chain chaos and rapidly rising interest rates shocked turbine manufacturers and their customers, upending a business model that depended on cheap financing to compete with fossil fuels.
Companies across the industry suffered steep losses and saw investors flee, despite the promise of huge growth as governments try to deliver on pledges to prevent a climate calamity.
This year appeared to promise a return to stability and profitability, with turbines’ main input — steel — getting cheaper, inflation cooling and interest rates starting to fall.
But a recovery is proving elusive. The bad news started in recent weeks just off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, when a turbine blade plunged into the sea, sending debris onto the beaches of the billionaire-inhabited island.

Veterans Affairs Canada began using verbal updates to communications managers and bureaucrats to prevent leaving a paper trail amongst those handling the fallout of the scandal of department case workers who offered suffering and desperate veterans euthanasia instead of treatment.
