“Virtue Signaling”

Freeland presents a plan to green Canada’s electricity supply in new 5 year plan replacing old 5 year plan

The 2023 federal budget promises an ambitious national electricity plan to provide net-zero power from coast to coast to coast.

The budget document notes that Canada’s electricity demand is expected to double by 2050. Meeting that demand, the budget says, will require “massive investments” to ensure provincial and territorial electricity grids can support neighbourhoods where every garage might soon have an electric vehicle, and can supply energy-intensive industries like steel manufacturing as they switch from fossil fuels to electricity.

To unleash those investments, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s fiscal plan offers a clean electricity investment tax credit worth $6.3 billion over four years, along with billions of dollars more for a suite of other tax credits and measures.

The Liberal Government lives in a virtue signaling dream world that unfortunately translates as our nightmare reality.

Israel condemns Justin Trudeau’s “shameful” remarks about Canadian People … Oh wait…

Ottawa condemns Israeli minister’s ‘shameful’ remarks about Palestinian people

Canada is condemning comments made by Israel’s finance minister, who claimed there is no such thing as Palestinian history or culture and no such thing as a “Palestinian people.”

Bezalel Smotrich, who is also responsible for administering the occupied West Bank, made the comments during a speech he gave on Sunday at a conference in France.

“Is there a Palestinian history or culture? There is none,” he can be heard saying in footage shared widely on social media. “There is no such thing as a Palestinian people.”

Tax the rich: Canada imposes new levy on luxury cars, yachts and private jets

Calls to ‘tax the rich’ often fall on deaf ears – but Canada appears to be listening. The country is set to impose a new ‘luxury tax’ on the sale and importation of high-value cars, planes and boats.

Coming into effect on 1 September 2022, the Select Luxury Items Tax Act is billed as part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to a fairer tax system.

Why England players won’t take the knee against Qatar – They’re happy to bash America and Britain. But criticise an Islamic country? No way.

So, we finally have an answer to the largely rhetorical question of whether England’s oh-so-woke football players will take the knee against Qatar during the World Cup there next year. Whether these hyper-aware, rainbow laces-wearing, injustice-hating sportsmen will make some kind of physical gesture to register their concern about Qatar’s institutionalised misogyny, homophobia and mistreatment of migrant workers. The answer, in essence, is: ‘Maybe. We’re not sure. It’s complicated. And also the UK does a lot of business with Qatar, so we don’t want to piss them off too much.’ So principled!

Viral style! How ‘jab jewelry’ is being sold by Amazon and worn by vaccine advocates like NY Gov Kathy Hochul to tell the world to get jabbed

Vaccination bling is sweeping the Internet in a trend that even NY Governor Kathy Hochul is taking part in after she was seen wearing a gold nameplate that read ‘vaxed’ at multiple events last week.

Amazon has already begun selling iterations of the pro-vaccine jewelry for other vaccinated people to get the governor’s look at an affordable price, such as a $39 sterling silver necklace that spells out the word ‘vaccinated’ in cursive similar to the one the governor donned.

How Black Rifle Coffee Used Every Trick In The Book to Fool Conservatives

Black Rifle Coffee Company was supposed to be a company that countered the effete stereotypes of other coffee sellers. When Starbucks promised to hire refugees, BRCC pledged to hire veterans. The company ran a promotion donating free bags of coffee to police officers. Its products are adorned in pro-military, pro-police kitsch. Black Rifle was supposed to be the rare company willing to openly market to the majority of America that doesn’t enjoy riots, protesting the flag, 13-year-olds getting castrations or double mastectomies, and every other piece of the ideological package that has become America’s de facto ruling ideology.

Sike!

Black Rifle actually hates populists and conservatives. In fact, it’s willing to pay you to never be their customer again. That’s the takeaway from the company’s 7,000-word profile in The New York Times last week.

The North West Company Statement on the Discovery of the Remains of 215 Indigenous Children at Kamloops Residential School

“North West stands with Indigenous Peoples in Canada who lost their loved ones within the Residential School system and we extend our caring thoughts to those directly impacted by the Kamloops discovery. This discovery is jarring and traumatic for Indigenous Peoples, and for all Canadians it starkly speaks to the physical conditions and racism that were forcibly endured under the Residential School system and the continuing pain created by it.

Blinding White

But don’t take my word for it:

An all-white, female RCMP civilian board says cabinet should appoint an Indigenous member and “consider” appointing a Black person in the aftermath of Black Lives Matters protests. The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission made its recommendation to the Commons public safety committee: “The only way the public complaint process works is if people trust the system.”

 

Affirmative action has served to empower fat, white liberal broads, infantalise instead of enfranchise minorities and squeeze everyone else out and we all know it.

Then They Came For the Balloons

Because I was not a balloon, I said nothing:

The Department of Environment in an educational program for schoolchildren recommends kids avoid party balloons as pollutants. Cabinet proposes to list plastic as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act: “You are never too young or too old to start taking climate action.”

 

I’ll just leave this right here:

Quality and safety issues are drawing more attention as incomes rise and upwardly mobile Chinese grow more health conscious. While virtually all toys on the market, whether foreign or domestic brands, are made in China, factories making foreign brands are assumed to abide by more rigorous standards to screen out lead paint and other harmful materials.
