When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
If It Wasn’t For Government
Who would protect us from poisoning?
The Food Professor- CFIA reported recent Listeria contamination of several plant-based milks occurred at a factory in Pickering, Ontario. We knew that already…
What needs to be clarified is why the first reported death in August 2023 was followed by a recall only on July 8, 2024, nearly a year later. Why the delay?
We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
Firefighters said they received a call about a fire at an unoccupied home on Monday, but upon arriving at the scene, they found that a Tesla was the cause of the fire. They then realized that the Tesla was hooked directly to the nearby powerlines. The illegal connections are a significant problem in the area. People connect directly to the power line or splice into electrical meter wiring to get free electricity, but the resulting power flow is unpredictable and largely unsafe.
No injuries were reported, but EV fires are a big problem for first responders. The firefighters in Tijuana had to build dirt berms around the car to hold enough water to keep it submerged. They estimated that the car could take a few days to completely burn out and said that it couldn’t be moved until they were certain the flames were out.

Fox- Harley-Davidson faces ‘woke’ accusations from Sturgis bikers: ‘Breaks my heart’
The situation has drawn comparisons to the Bud Light “unforced error” of 2023 in the wake of the beer brand’s decision to partner with Dylan Mulvaney, a social media influencer and trans activist.
And The Plumbing Will Fix Itself
Some 700,000 of Canada’s 4 million skilled tradespeople are set to retire by 2028, according to recent projections. At least one-third of tradespeople and apprentices in Ontario are 55 or older. And as older workers hang up their tools, they’re not being replaced with younger ones who bring matching skills to the job site.
Great Success!
Jama- Trust in Physicians and Hospitals During the COVID-19 Pandemic in a 50-State Survey of US Adults
Trust in physicians and hospitals decreased substantially over the course of the pandemic, from 71.5% in April 2020 to 40.1% in January 2024. Individuals with lower levels of trust were less likely to have been vaccinated or received boosters for COVID-19.
Show Me The Man, I’ll Show You The Crime
Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged to defend “freedom, compassion, and the rule of law” to cheers in Philadelphia, Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East Germany than a free country. Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called “Quiet Skies” program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed.
“The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard. “Everything lines up to the day.”
This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.
“It happened every time I boarded,” says Gabbard. The Iraq war veteran and current Army reservist tends to pack light, but no matter.

Depends On What You Mean By “Affordable”
Vancouver Sun- B.C. NDP explains why $2B housing affordability program was not about, er, delivering affordable housing
“The units are, in fact, at the high end of the current market rate, according to the recent rental rates on the building website,” reported Kerry Gold in the Globe and Mail on Saturday.
“The 393-square-foot studios are being rented on a one-year lease at $2,650 to $2,750 monthly. A 517-square-foot unit rents for $3,275. A 589-square-foot, two-bedroom unit on the top floor with a large patio is available at $4,200 a month. There are 840-square-foot, two-bedrooms with two bathrooms renting at $4,300 monthly. For 10 years, the rents can’t go above market rate.”
Suspended For Not Lying
Globe and Mail- Former border agency official pressed to give false testimony, MPs told
The border agency is conducting an internal investigation into allegations of cozy ties between private contractors and public servants involved in government contracting. Diane Daly told a house committee Wednesday that her interview earlier this year as part of that probe was hostile and she was pressed to pin blame on people who had done nothing wrong.
“I’m here to tell the truth but I’m very concerned that if I tell the truth here, I’m going to lose my job,” Ms. Daly said, her hands shaking at times as she read from written notes.
Keir Starmer’s Britain

Your Land Is My Land Now!
In this ten minute Frontier Centre interview, retired judge Brian Giesbrecht discusses the increasingly popular “land back” movement and what it might mean for Canadian property owners. In a nutshell, the news isn’t good, particularly since Canadian courts are openly siding with the collectivists.

It would be nice if the media asked Kamala Harris if she is fine with this:

They Took All The Rights, Put ‘Em In A Rights Museum
Trudeau’s rapey-beheader wing will not be pleased.
Justice Minister Arif Virani says he has received the review of online comments made by incoming human rights commissioner Birju Dattani, and that Dattani has “agreed to take a leave” just one day before he was set to begin serving in his new role.
“While I carefully consider this matter, Mr. Dattani has agreed to take leave,” Virani said in a statement Wednesday night.
“I will have more to say in the coming days.” […]
Dattani’s appointment was announced in June, after which a Canadian Jewish advocacy group called attention to some of his past social media posts, saying they were antisemitic.
“The appointment of someone with such a deeply flawed background only exacerbates the skeptical public perceptions of the CHRC and undermines our confidence in the commission’s ability to adjudicate issues of hate and discrimination,” the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said at the time.
I’ve written the CBC writer to inquire if Dattani will be receiving pay.

Are the Elites of the UK deliberately trying to start a Civil War?
UK PM Keir Starmer and his Cabinet are playing a very dangerous game:
What’s going on has familiar similarities with what Trudeau did to stomp down on the truckers. But what’s going on in the UK is much, much worse.
