    Biden considering killing Line 5 pipeline, cutting crucial energy link to Eastern Canada

    Michigan has dropped a lawsuit in federal court that threatened Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline — which carries about half of Ontario and Quebec’s petroleum. While it may seem like an early Christmas gift from Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer, it’s more likely she saw the writing on the wall...

    Unity & Equalization??

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today that while he is "deeply" opposed to Bill 21, his government won't step into the legal challenge taking place in Quebec in order to avoid triggering a fight with the province over jurisdiction. "I think that it's important, in the first stages of the...

    Killer Tornadoes

    It’s a deterrent for sure. Digging a hole by hand more than about 3’ deep in Regina is more than a chore if you don’t know what you’re getting into before you start: http://leaderpost.com/news/local/the-real-dirt-on-regina-gumbo My basement is only a little over 4’ below the ground level (tall...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Personally, I believe there’s a whole lot more mixing of genes than anyone admits to. There’s a reason why our testicles are much larger than a Gorillas (but smaller than a Chimpanzees).

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    10,000 years ago, I’m assuming most of my ancestors where hunter/gathers running around what’s now Europe or walking from Europe to what’s now the British Isles doing whatever they had to do to help themselves & their tribes thrive & survive, but I understand your assumptions and the idea that...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Weirdly, depending on one’s perspective, it doesn’t have to be a “Cherokee princess” but I believe, outside of cultural restraints, that humans are attracted to gene diversification (exotic features), so mixed blood being common isn’t that far fetched. It helps explain the prevalence of...

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    I read earlier this morning that Saskatchewan (population about 1.2 million now) is up to 611 registered (the only auto insurance company is Saskatchewan Gov’t Insurance) EV’s now.

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    This story is now antidotal as it’s about two years old, but the one guy I know well that owns a Tesla model three had to buy it in Calgary (City of about 1 million people) & Drive it home to Regina City of about 250,000 people). Calgary is the closest Tesla dealership to Regina Saskatchewan I...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Up here is a Federal issue Treaty Card, but I’m assuming it’s the same concept. It’s a photo ID mostly used for tax purposes but it makes one “officially” native in the eyes of Gov’t, etc…

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    Mandate to enforce EV Sales, during a supply chain goat rodeo, a pandemic, and a global microchip shortage? Yeah, why not….China would love it, & currently it’ll help Biden choke out the Canadian Auto Industry. Sounds about right for a Canadian Liberal MP. At least Guilbeualt isn’t the Finance...

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    Then factor in the Canadian Climate that batteries (all Batteries) don’t enjoy. Every so often up here someone (who’s having battery issues usually) says “I’ve had the same battery for “x” years & never had a problem” but for the rest of us that rely on our vehicles starting every time, a car...

    Alberta is on the verge of another boom — will it be more sustainable this time around?

    Just give us our money back, and we'll engineer the carbon reduction revolution!! http://apple.news/AyW_v2YUMRuqlVKNRd9wy5w Justin Trudeau’s government doesn’t appear interested in compromise and the current crusade against carbon emissions has only one industry and one province in its sights —...

    Yeah….this is not from the Onion: http://apple.news/AUDSVU8soR0C-p66vvu1jwg Authorities in Saudi Arabia clamped down on a popular camel beauty contest and disqualified more than 40 camels after dozens were given botox, face lifts and growth hormones. In what’s being called the largest...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Here’s something interesting coming down the pipe: MMPs that would be repealed under Bill C-5 Criminal Code The reforms to MMPs would only apply to certain offences, and would not limit the ability of a judge to impose a sentence of imprisonment, particularly where doing so is necessary to...

    The Financialization of Housing

    Taking a step back from gargantuan projects (railways, pipelines, hydro dams, etc…) to smaller scale projects, if you want to open a restaurant or a small scale small engine repair business out of your garage, or a lawn care business, or what have you, what is preventing you from doing so? I...

    Jogging while black

    There are very few out there that don’t have some kind of skeletons in their closet & some kind of checkered past depending on how deep and how far back someone wants to dig. I’m no saint and don’t pretend to be, and in all honesty someone without some kind of checkered past would probably be...
