Blacklock’s- Gov’t Polls On Meatless Diets

In-house Privy Council researchers have polled Canadians’ willingness to adopt a vegetarian diet for the sake of climate change. Only seven percent of people surveyed identified themselves as vegetarian or vegan.

A United Nations report Healthy Diets For A Healthier Planet blames livestock, poultry and seafood production for emitting greenhouse gases. “Red meat, dairy and farmed shrimp are generally associated with the highest greenhouse gas emissions,” said Healthier Planet. “This is because meat production often requires extensive grasslands which is often created by cutting down trees.”

The Parti Québécois (PQ), headed for government, is promising another referendum. The gathering storm demands attention.

In the 2018 Quebec provincial election the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) handed the PQ an historic defeat, reducing it to just 10 seats. The decades-long debate over Quebec’s place in Canada was widely assumed to have been settled, at least for this generation. But six years later the PQ is ahead in polls and its charismatic young leader promises to hold a referendum on sovereignty if elected. If an election were held today, the PQ would likely form a majority government.

“the Board of Directors of SIGA Technologies terminated Dr. Jay Varma, effective immediately”

Sorry guys. We didn’t make the new rules, but those are the new rules.

“Varma boasted about harassing people into submission over the vaccine mandate and admitted to participating in illegal sex parties, all while he, former Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi, and then-Mayor Bill de Blasio imposed draconian measures that shut down the entire city,” the Queens Democrat said.

“The hypocrisy is outrageous.”

Varma’s seamy chats — which included him boasting, “I did all this deviant, like sexual stuff,” and, “I had to be kind of sneaky about it … because I was running the entire COVID response in the city” — were made public last week by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

Tuesday On Turtle Island

Blackie’s Canada:  I blew up my lucrative career.  Terrorist training in Toronto schools.  Justin is having a wonderful time in New York.  Climate change is causing farmers to commit suicide.  Green tech slavery.

Cackling Kamala’s America:  Schools are hostile to boys.  A meme.  The censorship is just beginning.  A video you won’t find at CNN.

Woke World:  Chaos and lawlessness in Poland.  Paul Joseph Watson – He actually said it.  And wow you’re edgy.

White Dudes for Harris

White Dudes for Harris aka Ultra Woke Pathetic Soy Boys for Kamala is spending $10 Million to try to get the votes of Caucasian Male Americans. It’s not clear that their efforts are having much of an effect. This response to one of their tweets pretty much sums up their core base:

Matt Walsh and Tim Pool and his team have some thoughts.

Lockdown Hangovers

The economic damage caused by the lockdowns was bad enough and obvious to most, but there’s another side to that travesty that is less talked about.

The lockdown babies are now starting school, and the impact of their extraordinary early days is stark. “There’s a school in Birmingham where more than half the children entering [Reception] were still wearing nappies,” says Paskins. “Before the pandemic there might have been one or two. Now more than half have that developmental delay, and what that means in terms of how children are able to learn and function.”

The other thing that was really bad about Covid and the lockdown was that we were threatened with the idea that if we passed it on to somebody, we’d almost be responsible for their death. It just made life so miserable.”

She adds: “A lot of people have never really quite recovered. I would say it took me at least two years, and even now lots of my friendships are impacted.”

Politico- From dire to iconic: 6 times European leaders tried to make the power hoodie work

There’s a new entry in the world of political fashion statements: The humble hoodie.

In a world where a politician’s public image can make or break them, what they choose to wear can hold great significance. The hoodie — once the preferred attire of hip-hop artists, skateboarders and Silicon Valley tech bros — is now a staple in the wardrobes of world leaders, from the French president to the ex-British prime minister.

But who wore it best? And who should’ve left it on the hanger? We’ve pulled together a totally scientific sartorial analysis.

Konstantin Kisin- The Cobra Effect: Why Good Intentions Don’t Solve Problems

The Cobra Effect is based on a story which may or may not have taken place during British colonial rule in India. Despite its unconfirmed authenticity, it remains a powerful illustration of how bad incentives can undermine good intentions. In my view, it should be taught as early as possible to anyone who intends to run, manage or operate any system of almost any complexity.

National Post- First submarine in new Canadian fleet won’t be operational until 2037, navy confirms

Even though Blair stated that information is now being gathered the project will take 13 years to actually deliver an operational submarine. Canada doesn’t expect to have initial operating capability for the first sub until 2037, according to the briefings. The Royal Canadian Navy does not have an idea at this time when the entire fleet will be available.

The problem with no one getting paid is no one is getting paid

About a month ago I did some serious digging into Alberta’s electrical grid going into zero dollar hours for pricing. As in all the power on the grid, for the generators anyway, was free, for a few hours. I thought I had published it, but apparently not, as I was reminded by @ReliableAB. And funny thing is, it happened again this past weekend.

The problem with no one getting paid is no one is getting paid. No business model is sustainable like that. I don’t care about averaging things out. No one wants to give away product for free, especially if they are paying for inputs like natural gas for fuel and staffing.

Alberta had free power for more than a day in August, and seven hours last weekend – how does that happen?

And on the renewable thing:

Manitoba to encourage renewable energy while acknowledging fossil fuel use

Wind and hydro actually pair very well together, as hydro can ramp up and down very quickly. Building wind in Manitoba will allow them to build up their reservoirs and maintain more capacity overall, especially in low water conditions like the prairies have seen in recent years. So, believe it or not, I’m not wholly against that idea, for Manitoba, at least. I’m surprised they haven’t built more until now.

Also, this was from the Canadian Press. Take that for what you will.

Canada makes small emissions cut in 2023, but must ramp up to hit key targets: report
