Honey, I Finished The Internet
That Should Calm Things Down
The End Effect of Wokeism
Throughout my recent travels, I’ve been listening to the audiobook of this biography of Elon Musk, written by Walter Isaacson. It’s a very interesting listen about a very complex man. I would personally never want to work for Musk but to deny that he has an extraordinary mind and has been mega-successful is stupid, petty, and reeks of jealousy.
This video recently popped up in my YouTube feed. In it, you will hear Joe Rogan ask Elon Musk why he ultimately decided to buy Twitter. He makes an interesting comparison between the Woke mismanagement of Twitter 1.0 and the Woke mismanagement of San Francisco (and California). In both cases, the end result leads to very bad results for humanity. The fact that many NPCs on the Left think that supporting such policies is a good thing should serve as a useful study for historians and psychologists.
Good Proletarians Don’t Need Vacations
Slumping sales in the accommodation sector will come as no surprise to anyone who has taken note of the soaring cost of all aspects of travel in the past couple of years. The marginal consumer cannot afford any of it.
Airbnb shares dropped 14% in after-hours trading after the company reported second-quarter earnings that missed analyst expectations and warned that it’s seeing signs of slowing demand from U.S. customers.
Minding Ottawa
I don’t think anyone else does as good a job reporting on all of the shenanigans our federal government gets up to as Blacklock’s Reporter.
Blacklock’s- The Canada Pension Plan must pull all investments from Israel, says a petition sponsored by Liberal MP Jenica Atwin (Fredericton). The MP also sponsored petitions seeking limits on background checks of Gazans permitted into Canada, and introduction of Arab history into public school curricula.
Blacklock’s- The military is reviewing minimum “medical requirements” for new recruits in a bid to attract more volunteers, records show. Defence Minister Bill Blair earlier told reporters he’d take other measures like cutting minimum enlistment to as little as 18 months.
Blacklock’s- Cabinet’s “two billion trees” program was overrated from the start and will have no climate impact for 50 to 100 years, says the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. The program was launched in the Liberal Party’s 2019 election platform.
Blacklock’s- Legal marijuana is linked to accidental poisoning of small children, says the Department of Health. Data show “significant associations” between Parliament’s repeal of a criminal ban on cannabis and emergency room visits by children, it said.
Caption This
With apologies for the poor photo, I spotted this pickup truck on Hwy 401, heading east to Kingston. But I got to thinking about the same vehicle traveling south to America. If such was the case, what would be a good caption for such a scene?
Hoisted On Their Own Incompetent Petard
Ottawa Citizen- Confusion still reigns for public servants’ health plan
Amanda Kennard, a retired public servant living in South Carolina, has spent months fighting for reimbursement of her claims and attempting to contact MSH International Canada, a sub‑contractor to Canada Life.

Blog Notes
I returned home this morning from a round trip to Virginia last week, where I was offline for much of the time. Many thanks to our guest bloggers here for holding down the fort! I left Salem at 1pm Sunday and made it to Davidson, SK last night around 11pm (over 3,000km in 36 hours) and thus need a few hours to catch up.
The trip was uneventful – save for a minivan that chose to cross my path on US460 in Virginia, forcing a high speed chicane around his front, through the intersection and into the opposing side of the divided highway, where I pulled safely to a stop in their left hand turn lane. If you ever find yourself trying to decide between a Subaru Outback and some other brand of small car or SUV, buy the Outback. Trust me.

Brian Crossman: I Am Spartacus, Part Two (Bill C-59 Edition)
The amendments to Bill C-59 are aimed at “greenwashing” meaning you or your company could be charged with making false statements regarding positive climate action. The bigger goal is to prevent companies from stating the inconvenient truth that they are making significant gains on pollution.

Kamala the Magnificent
Without a doubt, the Demon-rats are going to pull every dirty trick to try to win but is this REALLY the person the average Democrat voter wants running America?

I’m Going To Miss The Polar Bears
Polar Bear Science- Polar bear “boom” reported in East & Southwest Greenland comes with the usual problems
The former Prime Minister of Greenland claims the unusual number of bear sightings and problems with bears near communities (including an attack involving serious injury to a German researcher) are due to abundant sea ice offshore.
Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste
Off-Guardian- UK Riots: The agenda becomes clear…
Whatever the truth of this latest incident, and whatever long term aims it might be used to further, this “strategy of tension” has an immediate political agenda already becoming clear – and it’s as predictable as ever.
Attacking free speech is the ever-present, eternal agenda that comes before everything else and it’s been a real pile-on the last few days.
You cannot begin to fathom how irritating it is to the ruling class that ordinary people are allowed to just say whatever they want whenever they want – including having the audacity to fact check the media in real time, with no repercussions at all.
Still Waiting for the Apologies
I rarely post anything political on Facebook but violence against women and biological men encroaching into women’s sports is a red line for me. So I posted this tweet from Riley Gaines. My own little firestorm erupted, with lots of the usual suspects attacking me for being transphobic and hateful. One SF Bay woman stated that Angela Carini “wasn’t tough enough” to hack it. I guess the loyalty of sisterhood evaporates when the Cult demands compliance!
It was thus very interesting to watch this video this morning:

Not one apology or mea culpa has come my way yet. I’m not holding my breath.
