As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, the city of Petaluma will ban the construction, expansion, rebuilding, and relocating of gas stations after a unanimous vote by the City Council. It does so in hopes of forcibly speeding up the transition to electric cars with the goal of reaching “carbon neutrality,” net-zero carbon emissions, by 2030.
Quebec confirms first case of ‘double mutant’ variant from India
Quebec has identified its first case of the B.1.617 variant of COVID-19 that originated in India and is believed to be fuelling the pandemic surge in that country.
The case was identified in a patient in the Mauricie region, north of Trois-Rivières, officials with the Institut national de la santé du Québec (INSPQ) confirmed Wednesday.
There is no such thing as a ‘double mutant’. This is shameless fearmongering.
Wyoming Roofing Company Offers Free AR-15 With New Roof; Californians Lose Their Minds
Through the promotion, Wiggins gives an AR-15 to anyone having the company install a roof on their residential or commercial property. The AR (which stands for ArmaLite Rifle) is a semi-automatic rifle that can be configured to use a variety of ammunition, but most often uses .223-caliber rounds.
And it’s a promotion that is certainly generating attention. Thomas said the company has received some very pointed feedback about its offer.
Ontario police can now ID children to enforce new restrictions
Police in Ontario say the province has given them the power to ID anyone gathering in public – even if they are children.
“If [police] see something like that going on,” Peel Regional Police spokeswoman Const. Danny Marttini said of gatherings, “they would ask to identify all parties that are participating.”
Why does the left so passionately want to venerate criminals?
If there is one thing that characterizes the left today, it is the fervent need to pretend men like George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Rayshard Brooks, Eric Garner, and others are pillars of society, hapless victims of police brutality and racism. Those mentioned above all died resisting arrest. All had criminal records, some of them extensive and for violent crimes.
Not one of them complied with the police when pulled over for a traffic stop or when they were in the process of being apprehended after committing a crime. All of them attempted to resist, flee, or harm the police who were present. In nearly all these cases, their own behavior brought about their demise, however tragic they may have been.
Trudeau pledges to slash greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030
Trudeau said Canada will reduce emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 — a target much lower than the one first pitched by the former Conservative government and agreed to by former environment minister Catherine McKenna at the Paris climate talks in 2015.

Burnaby School District bans crazy hair days for causing offence
According to the school district, the term “crazy” is offensive to people suffering from mental illness and the event itself is not inclusive for people who wear head coverings like turbans or hijabs.
I was hoping it was because someone knotted a bone on their head.
Ontario and Quebec premiers call for stricter measures at land and air borders
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his Quebec counterpart are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to introduce “stricter” measures at land and air border crossings to ensure that all non-essential travel is “curtailed” amid a devastating third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While leftist “Squad” calls to defund police, they spend big bucks on their own security
You’ve got to love leftist hypocrisy.
From Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter buying millions of dollars of real estate in primarily white neighborhoods to Nancy Pelosi having an eight-foot fence with concertina wire on top to “protect” the U.S. Capitol, their chutzpah knows no bounds.
Now we’re finding out that the members of the neo-Marxist “squad”, who have been calling for police to be defunded themselves pay tens of thousands of dollars on private security…for themselves.
This Trial Was A Disgrace
I don’t pretend to know if Derek Chauvin is guilty in the objective sense – Judge Mom, a conservative who sent a lot of people to jail as a prosecutor before doing it from the bench, made a convincing argument to me for a murder conviction soon after the incident – but I do know one thing. This trial was a travesty, a kangaroo court, and as a country, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry says we need to ‘remove carbon dioxide from the air’ and criticizes Trump for leaving the Paris climate deal without ‘facts or science’
President Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry blasted the Trump Administration for pulling out of the Paris climate deal he helped negotiate – then jolted even some environmentalists when he called to pull carbon dioxide ‘out of the atmosphere.’
Yeah no plants, cool.
We’ve run this before, but in light of several articles in this morning’s Continental Breakfast, it seems worthy of posting again.

Report: FBI Deemed 2017 Targeted Shooting Of Republicans At Baseball Field A Suicide Attempt, Not Domestic Terrorism. Scalise Responds.
“Much to our shock that day, the FBI concluded that this was a case of the attacker seeking suicide by cop,” said Wenstrup. “Director, you want suicide by cop, you just pull a gun on a cop. It doesn’t take 136 rounds. It takes one bullet. Both the DHS and the (Office of the Director of National Intelligence) published products labeling this attack as a domestic violent extremism event, specifically targeting Republican members of Congress. The FBI did not.”

Racist Professor Demands a ‘Conviction of America’ After Chauvin Verdict
After a jury delivered three guilty verdicts for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for the second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of George Floyd Tuesday afternoon, the race-obsessed Left isn’t satisfied.
Their goal is revolution and genocide. Nothing less.
