Why Canada Failed - by elizabeth nickson

- Last year, a widely respected CBC journalist was murdered in one of Toronto’s formerly safe neighbourhoods.
- The elites have practiced a kind of perversion of Christianity, inviting floods of the disaffected, many still living their violent clannish ways, into mainstream Canada, and he was murdered by one of them.
- Up until recently, the result of their malign policies has redounded on the ordinary, normals, the truckers and the plurality that support them, those without access to the CBC or the unending debt pouring forth from the Bank of Canada.

Out Of Control Inflation: It Now Takes At Least $177,798 For A Family Of 4 To Live Comfortably In The U.S.
According to an incredibly shocking new study, most Americans do not make enough money to “live comfortably” in the highly inflationary environment that we find ourselves in today - MICHAEL SNYDER"I never imagined that we would ever see a time when it takes $177,798 for a family of four to live comfortably in the United States.
Unfortunately, that day has arrived.
Our leaders have been pursuing highly inflationary policies for many years, and now we have reached a point where inflation is wildly out of control.
In fact, the latest wholesale inflation figure that was released on Tuesday came in much higher than expected.
Sadly, this is just the beginning and we are in far more trouble than most people realize.

The Scandalous Science Behind Nuclear Regulation
A flawed scientific model continues to hinder the nuclear power industry and shape policy, holding us all back. - JAMES BROUGHEL
- Nuclear power could be a game-changer for energy affordability, grid reliability, and carbon reduction.
- However, it's been stifled for decades based on one deeply flawed scientific model: the linear no-threshold (LNT) model.
- The theory underlying this model suggests that any exposure to ionizing radiation, no matter how small, increases cancer risks and that risks rise in a linear way with exposure levels.
It's not true...

Maundering Through 'Climate Change' | The Pipeline
A lot more complicated than it looks. | The Pipeline - David Cavena
Continuing on that one aspect of warming, heat from the sun, or Total Solar Irradiance (TSI), surely has an impact on our temperature.
- The conceit of the climate cultists is that industrial man has altered – and is continuing to alter – the climate within a few hundred years so much that sea levels are rising, ice sheets are melting, and that we can – and must – alter it back within a decade, or so, or we’re all gonna die.
- The sheer audacity that humans can effect this level of change amazes. One day these same people tell us we are “insignificant” from the perspective of the universe. The next day they say we are destroying the planet via gas stoves and cow farts. “Fantastical” is a word not much used nowadays; it fits perfectly here.
Continuing on that one aspect of warming, heat from the sun, or Total Solar Irradiance (TSI), surely has an impact on our temperature.
How could it not?
But is it being measured properly and accurately?...

Utah mom left 'disabled' after COVID-19 vaccine trial launches first US lawsuit against AstraZeneca | Blaze Media:
While 32,000 Americans like Dressen participated in vaccine trials in the homeland and the Biden administration agreed to share up to 60 million doses with other nations, the AstraZeneca vaccine was never rolled out in the United States. It was, however, administered billions of times worldwide.
It quickly became clear that the vaccine was not as "safe and effective" as health authorities throughout the Anglosphere had guaranteed. After all, there were numerous reports of otherwise healthy recipients experiencing abnormal bleeding, low blood platelets, blood clots, and even dying.
Atticus Finch’s Critique of the Public Education System
But as Atticus Finch reminds us, life outside the courts does not operate according to this idealistic sense of equality."...It’s from Atticus Finch’s closing speech at the trial of Tom Robinson—part that didn’t make it into the movie:
But as Atticus Finch reminds us, life outside the courts does not operate according to this idealistic sense of equality...
In a portion that did make it into the move script, Atticus goes on to claim that America’s courts are “the great levelers,” and in them “all men are created equal.” This equality forever sought by America’s court system is symbolized by Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding scales.“One more thing, gentlemen, before I quit. Thomas Jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase that the Yankees and the distaff side of the Executive branch in Washington are fond of hurling at us. There is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, for certain people to use this phrase of context, to satisfy all conditions. The most ridiculous example I can think of is that people who run public education promote the stupid and idle along with the industrious—because all men are created equal, educators will gravely tell you, the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inferiority. We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe—some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cake than others—some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of men.”

Wow!!-----The cloud thermostat is the dominant climate controlling mechanism - ClimateCite
IPCC’s (and NOAA’s) claims are a myth and therefore that trillions of dollars are being wasted on pointless mitigation measures
"Dr Clauser demonstrates, based on his recent groundbreaking research, that there are serious faults in the IPCC models of the Earth’s atmosphere and that its interpretation of observational data from a variety of observational modalities are flawed.
- He then introduces his original research on the cloud-thermostat mechanism, which he concludes is the overwhelmingly dominant climate controlling feedback mechanism that stabilizes the Earth’s climate and temperature and thereby actually prevents runaway global warming.
- He therefore asserts that this is great news demonstrating that there is no real climate crisis, and that Earth is not in peril;
- the clear corollary is that IPCC’s (and NOAA’s) claims are a myth and therefore that trillions of dollars are being wasted on pointless mitigation measures that should instead be put to constructive use.
Dr John F Clauser was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics for his experiments with quantum entanglement..

'Alarming': 9-year-old girl attacked at school for 'not being Muslim' | WND | by Bob Unruh:
"They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade," Larson told the report.
"I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear."
It was the attackers themselves who told the teacher that was why they "decided to beat her up."

Should You Believe Faulty U.S. Crime Stats or Your Own Lying Eyes? It's a Tough Call | RealClearInvestigations
In recent weeks the Biden administration and many news outlets, including USA Today and The Hill, have touted declines in violent crime statistics to argue that America is becoming a safer place. - James Varney,...
"...Declining arrest rates and slowing police 911 response times help explain why polls show Americans believe crime is rising.
- From 2017 to 2019, the U.S. had an average of 16,641 homicides a year.
- In 2021 and 2022, however, the country saw considerably more bloodshed, with an average of more than 22,000 annual homicides.
- ...“There are social media videos of people walking into a CVS and walking out with a shopping cart full and there seems to be no consequences – that’s part of the problem,” said Jay Town, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. “
- And then you have people arrested a dozen times and they’re out with no bail. There are no consequences, and thus there are more criminals in the street.”
Americans may fall back on such perceptions in part because the official reports are incomplete and rife with error...

Instapundit - YES — AND IN RESPONSE, THEIR APPEAL IS BECOMING MORE SELECTIVE
This year’s issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is the 60th, and the magazine is celebrating by not featuring gorgeous women in skimpy swimsuits.
In fact, the magazine’s cover features a photo of women in evening gowns—at least, mostly women. These days you can never tell who will show up in the magazine pretending to be female.
Gail King, a noted sex symbol, is prominently featured. She snagged an interview with the magazine’s editor, who explained the shift away from featuring women in swimsuits to more woke content, featuring plus-size women and men cosplaying them...
