After reading some information at Friends of Science, I got to thinking about how impossible it will be for us to do what so many people are demanding that we do. This is to go to zero CO2 emissions by 2050 by getting off of fossil fuels.
“This is quite unfortunate”: Elections Canada bureaucrats scramble after Trump retweet
Elections Canada was inundated with media requests, emails and social media engagement after the agency’s Twitter account was retweeted by former president Donald Trump in November, internal documents show.
Emails obtained through access to information show Elections Canada bureaucrats scrambling to respond to media inquiries after the retweet, which two officials called “unfortunate.”
Reddit group that drove GameStop shares 1,700% higher and cost Wall Street short-sellers billions goes PRIVATE after messaging platform Discord BANNED their server for ‘hate speech’ in the wake of SEC and White House ‘monitoring’
The Reddit subgroup fueling the unprecedented surge of GameStop shares in a campaign that is rattling Wall Street, has been kicked off gamer messaging app Discord due to hate speech violations.
Discord on Wednesday confirmed it has banned the r/WallStreetBets server from its platform, where thousands of users had shared messages hyping up GameStop’s stock and urged other investors to hold on to their shares or buy more.
BANANA REPUBLIC: Social Media Influencer Arrested by FBI For Sharing Memes
You can no longer make up the Banana Republic we are now living in America, a social media influencer has been arrested by the FBI for sharing a meme. Yes, you read this opening line right.
So the FBI is now arrested citizens for reporting things that are allegedly untrue, but not the mainstream media? You have to be kidding me!
Gabbard Sounds the Alarm: Leftists Are Plotting ‘KGB-Style Surveillance’ of Conservatives
On Tuesday, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) issued another important warning about the Democrats like former CIA Director John Brennan who appear to have seized on the Capitol riot as an excuse to crack down on dissent from the Left’s orthodoxy. Democrats seem to be mulling a new domestic “War on Terror” complete with surveillance of American “insurgents” like… Libertarians.

Majority of Canadians oppose Trudeau government’s immigration plan: study
The study obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter found that 50% of Canadians agree with the statement: “It will be difficult for our economy to absorb many immigrants in the next year.”
PAYETTE SCANDAL: Gov.-Gen. abuse was ‘physical’
“Payette’s workplace behaviour went beyond screaming at, belittling and publicly humiliating employees — and included unwelcome physical contact that caused some participants in the review to feel threatened,” said the CBC report.
LILLEY: Who wants to defend Trudeau’s vaccine plan now?
The Trudeau government knew about problems with the deal to develop a COVID-19 vaccine with a Chinese firm within days of announcing it but kept the truth hidden from the public for months.
The shocking revelations are contained in new documents tabled by the Trudeau government in the House of Commons this week.
Biden’s United States of Racial Quotas and Preferences
A lower-than-population percentage of blacks in any desirable category, explains critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi, must be the result of “systemic racism,” a term Rice used twice and Biden five times on Tuesday. If you don’t agree, you’re guilty of “white fragility” and must be a “white supremacist.”
‘Join The Corona Cult: Traumatize Your Children And Reap The Admiring Looks Of Fellow Coronazis’
Gunnar Kaiser, a German writer and political blogger, released a satirical video addressing the many extreme reactions toward the coronavirus. Sometimes humor can offer people a small break from the horrifying realities of having their freedoms and rights stripped from them under the guise of doing what’s best for them.
How the Destruction of Grammar and Logic Got Biden into the Oval Office
Many people snickered at the claim made in Texas v. Pennsylvania that there is only a one in a quadrillion chance that Joe Biden won all the swing states as currently claimed. The true meaning beneath the statistic is simple: the vote counts certified in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia are fake, so let’s cut through all the noise and decide what to do next. “One in a quadrillion” is a rarified way of saying it just didn’t happen.
Biden’s Gifts for Illegal Aliens – Welcome to the open-borders president.
President Joe Biden is the illegal aliens’ best friend. He is asking Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship for the more than 11 million illegal aliens presently living in the United States. And to make the illegal aliens feel better about themselves, Biden is seeking a change in U.S. immigration laws to replace the phrase “illegal alien” with “noncitizen” to describe them.
Cancel culture rarely survives a plague – Ideological mania can become too costly to maintain
Iam standing at the window of an old coaching inn, the Mistley Thorn, overlooking the moonlit River Stour, in lovely, rural north Essex. The mid-winter night is eerily silent, apart from the cries of waterbirds, flitting across the darkened sky, like tiny, frightened ghosts.
Oligarchy in America
Crossing the Rubicon of class
The fog of the Trump wars is lifting, the road from COVID-19 rising before us, the outlines of the 21st-century American system emerging. Like the bankruptcy in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, the change has happened ‘Gradually, then suddenly.’ The age of the democratic republic is over, the age of the American oligarchy beginning.
Glenn Reynolds is correct: Public education is child abuse
Chicago, which has America’s third largest school district, has long been known for its exceptionally aggressive public teachers’ union that seems wedded to strikes. What it doesn’t seem to be wedded to is teaching. That’s especially true with the Wuhan virus.
Chicago teachers are refusing to return to classrooms, despite the educational and emotional disaster that long-distance learning is proving to be for kids. Instead, six dance teachers offered an interpretative dance explaining why they prefer to stay home and get paid for short hours and minimally effective job performance.
I ran this last night but it’s running again. What the hell is this?
Six of our rank-and-file dance teachers come together to use their art form as a voice to express their desire to feel safe amidst CPS' teacher return policy. They stand in solidarity with all educators at risk, because no one should have to choose between life and livelihood. pic.twitter.com/gajXH9PReE

How lockdown boredom broke the stock market
Reddit users have confounded Wall Street by sending GameStop stocks into orbit.
Companies that sell physical copies of computer games in shopping malls do not usually expect their share price to increase by several thousand per cent in the digital and e-commerce era. They are doubly not supposed to when a pandemic is either forcing shopping malls to close or is keeping fearful consumers at home.
But that’s exactly what has happened to US videogame retailer GameStop.
300,000 dual citizens in Hong Kong must choose between Canada and China after policy change
Ottawa is growing increasingly concerned about the rights of 300,000 Canadian citizens in Hong Kong, after the territory’s government declared that dual citizens must choose the nationality they wish to maintain.
“Canada is aware of the Hong Kong government’s decision to require dual nationals to declare the nationality they wish to legally maintain while in Hong Kong,” said spokesperson John Babcock. “At this moment, we understand that this policy predominantly affects dual nationals serving prison sentences in Hong Kong. Canada has expressed its concern to the Hong Kong government about the possible loss of consular access that this change implies.”
San Francisco School Board ditches ‘Lincoln High’ name, 43 others to send ‘moral message’
Abraham Lincoln, the man who issued the Emancipation Proclamation and freed the slaves, isn’t good enough for the San Francisco School Board.
A 6-1 vote Tuesday evening sealed the deal on the renaming of 44 San Francisco school sites due to connections with slavery and oppression.
Disagreeing With Biden’s Transgender Policy Is ‘Incitement’ Now? Facebook Says So…
On Tuesday, Facebook suspended Robert A.J. Gagnon, a prominent Christian scholar on the topic of Bible sexuality, for seven days. His crime? Speaking out against transgender ideology and President Joe Biden’s new transgender military policy. Facebook claimed that Gagnon’s criticism of this government-imposed ideology violated the platform’s “Community Standards on violence and incitement.”
Rex Murphy: Of course the Liberals didn’t support Keystone. There was no ‘political gain’
If there is no ‘political’ point for doing the right thing, why waste time even thinking about doing the right thing?
I don’t suppose it would surprise anyone to discover that among the “bicycling community” (everyone is a member of a “community” these days), support for the Keystone XL pipeline is nil; that avid cyclists hold much the same negative affection for oil and pipelines as vegetarians do for sausages and chicken wings.
