Your middle-of-the-week spa day ...
Your vile government and you:
Taxes and regulations are making it hard to put food on the table. Politicians and bureaucrats are misleading us. They’re wasting our money and not being honest about how it’s spent. And they’re showering themselves with bonuses and raises no matter how bad of a job they’re doing.
The federal government is raising five taxes this year. The Canada Pension Plan tax, Employment Insurance tax, the carbon tax and alcohol taxes are going up. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is imposing a second carbon tax through fuel regulations. The government also spent $450,000 studying and promoting a home equity tax.
(Sidebar: some perspective on alcohol taxes. Scroll down to the "Star Trek" universe.)
Trudeau promised that “we are not going to be saddling Canadians with extra costs … the last thing Canadians need is to see a rise in taxes right now.” This isn’t the only time the government misled taxpayers.
Trudeau’s former environment minister said the government had “no intention” to raise the carbon tax after 2022. The carbon tax is now increasing to 37 cents per litre of gas by 2030.
The Trudeau government claims “families are going to be better off” with the carbon tax and rebates. Politicians continue making this claim even though the Parliamentary Budget Officer shows it’s incorrect. The average family will be out hundreds of dollars this year even after the rebates.
Rebates are nothing more than the few bucks Justin hands you so that you don't riot.
It's YOUR money and you are letting him give it to you piecemeal like a deadbeat, abusive boyfriend who reminds you that you would be worse off without him.

**Hmm. Reading this story, there's no concerned comment from the Prime Minister. No hysterical zinger from the NDP, no doomsdaying soundbite from the unions. How very strange! https://t.co/COosvhFzIn

The grift that keeps on grifting:
The third National Gathering on Unmarked Burials from Jan. 16-18 follows gatherings last year in Winnipeg and Edmonton.
Participants at the gathering will have the opportunity to attend workshops, attend breakout sessions and hear from speakers from various organizations on data sovereignty and community control over knowledge and information as part of the three-day event.
The issue of who owns and controls access to records, church archives, blueprints and other relevant documents has continued to be one of the barriers for families and communities conducting searches.
Who owns them?
Not bloody you.

It's just a valuable natural resource:
Today, Canada’s natural gas sector is also seeing its decade of darkness, again due to a Liberal government. And it’s not because the opportunity wasn’t there. It was because our government allowed its ideology, and that of its anti-oil and gas friends (also known as protestors) to stand in the way, while the rest of the world passed us by.
And while most people (except for geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan) would not have predicted a 2022 invasion of Ukraine by Russia (Zeihan did, six years earlier), they could had seen there would be a push towards an increased global market for natural gas by the way of LNG (liquefied natural gas). Sure as hell, the Americans did. And while we had proposed projects by the dozen, here in Canada, only LNG Canada, at Kitimat, is anywhere close to completion. Woodfibre LNG is finally getting going. As for the East Coast? Not so much.
And yet this past summer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz came to Canada, basically begging us to supply them with LNG. And our illustrious Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, in front of the man’s face, there was “no business case” for LNG. ...
And last week, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida came to Canada, basically begging for LNG. And Trudeau spoke in front of this leader about the world decarbonizing.
In other words, don’t count on this country to help all that much on LNG you in your time of need.

During his Monday visit to a rare earth element facility in Saskatoon, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made allusions that the Saskatchewan government was not doing enough on clean electricity, saying, “We also know there’s work to be done on encouraging the Government of Saskatchewan to see the opportunities that companies and indeed workers are seeing in a clean, cleaner jobs in the opportunities for get cleaner energy project projects. These are things that we’re going to continue to work on.”
According to SaskPower’s Where Your Power Comes From web page, on Jan. 15, 42 per cent of Saskatchewan’s power came from natural gas (1,391 megawatts), 41 per cent coal (1,357 megawatts), 12 per cent hydro (398 megawatts), and just 1 per cent from wind (23 megawatts). Solar was negligible at 1 megawatt, and “other” produced 3 per cent, at 109 megawatts. Nearly a decade ago Saskatchewan had also spent $1.6 billion on the Integrated Boundary Dam Unit 3 Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage Project.
Moe was asked about this in a press conference in Regina, and his answer laid out what appears to be new timelines with respect to both coal and natural gas power production, as well as the future, or lack thereof, for both that and carbon capture. He noted that even using carbon capture and storage would not be enough to satisfy the federal government for both coal and natural gas.
Don't ask Justin about it because Justin does not have any sort of degree or experience explaining how a province can fuel itself.
But he does know how Canada can make a quick bit of cash:
With more than 10,000 Canadians now dying from medically assisted death each year, a report out of The Netherlands has found that Canada is now the global epicentre of harvesting organs from patients who have undergone doctor-assisted suicide.
A recent review published by Dutch researchers in the American Journal of Transplantation examined the growing medical practice known as ODE; organ donation after euthanasia.
Of 286 worldwide instances of ODE identified by the paper, nearly half of them (136) were Canadian.
It means that Canadians who die by assisted suicide are now representing a not-insubstantial number of the country’s total organ donors. For context, Canada’s entire supply of donated organs comes from about 500 to 800 donors per year. In 2021, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, there were 734 Canadian fatalities that resulted in organ donations.
In an interview with CTV, Arthur Schafer, director of the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics, said he was “proud” of Canada’s standing in rates of organ donations among assisted suicide deaths. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for someone facing death to make something significant out of the end of their life,” he said.
These people are being killed, you son-of-a-b!#ch, and someone is profiting from it.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh told party faithful he will hold the Liberals to everything they promised in a confidence and supply agreement, but he gave no indication he is prepared to end the deal propping up the minority government.

UN-CANADA, well as expected the chicken shit Trudeau snuck in a side entrance and sent a decoy thru. But all the Libtards paying $1000 plate has to go thru us and be shamed. pic.twitter.com/jyl7G25M6F

Just to remind one, the billionaires' political supporters ALSO made off like bandits:
For every $100 of wealth created in the last 10 years in Canada, $34 has gone to the richest 1 per cent and only $5 to the bottom 50 per cent, according to Oxfam Canada. This means that the richest 1 per cent have gained nearly seven times more wealth than the bottom 50 per cent in the last 10 years. Oxfam says it used Forbes real-time billionaire list as of Nov. 30, 2022 and global banking firm Credit Suisse to compile its data.
(Sidebar: this Oxfam.)
“Canadians are making daily sacrifices on essentials like food and utility bills, while the superrich have outdone even their wildest dreams,” said Lauren Ravon, executive director of Oxfam Canada. “Just two years in, this decade is shaping up to be the best yet for billionaires.”Canada’s billionaires, numbering around 50 people, have assets of $249 billion as of November 2022 — just ahead of the $248 billion in assets belonging to the bottom 40% of the Canadian population, according to Oxfam Canada. In the U.S., the numbers are even higher with American billionaires having assets of $4,576 billion nearing the $5,068 billion owned by the bottom 60 per cent of the U.S. population.In Britain, billionaires have assets of $186.6 billion, compared to the $342 billion owned by the bottom 40 per cent of the U.K. population.
It's all a plan.
Also:
While the elder Schwab worked in this capacity, the Nazis awarded Escher Wyss Ravensburg the prestigious title of “National Socialist Model Company” for all of its hard work in the service of the Führer.
To achieve this recognition, Escher-Wyss Ravensburg, under Eugen Schwab’s leadership, utilized Nazi slave labor and prisoners of war in its facilities.
Ravensburg itself, aside from the slave factory, was the site of numerous Nazi crimes against humanity, such as forced sterilization for the purpose of “racial improvement.” But to Eugen Schwab, that was just the cost of doing business with the Third Reich.
This is the Canadian legal system:
One of the men convicted in a high-profile terrorism case involving a plot to derail a Via Rail train wants access to a psychiatric report about his co-accused, arguing that its findings could result in him having his convictions overturned.
Do this at a mosque.
You know you want to:
Both Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s office and Women and Gender Equality Minister Marci Ien’s office have condemned the hate seen at the demonstrations over the weekend.
“It’s unacceptable that children’s events across the country are being bombarded with hateful rhetoric. Homophobia and transphobia have no place in Canada,” Ien’s spokesperson, Johise Namwira, said in a statement sent to Global News.
I will ask: how is an adult burlesque event suitable for children?
Also:
A significant case was reported by LifeSite News about a brave teen who defended female-only bathrooms. 16-year-old Josh Alexander was penalized with a 20-day suspension last year by his Catholic school “after he organized a walkout in protest of male students being permitted into the girls’ washroom.”
I suspect some trouble after this resignation:
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will not seek re-election and plans to step down no later than early February, she said in a televised statement on Thursday.
A general election would be held on Oct. 14, she added.
"This summer, I had hoped to find a way to prepare for not just another year, but another term - because that is what this year requires," a visibly emotional Ardern said during the statement. "I have not been able to do that."
Bill Gates is one of the richest men on Earth:
Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) on Wednesday said it would eliminate 10,000 jobs and take a $1.2 billion charge to earnings, as its cloud-computing customers reassess their spending and the company braces for potential recession.
The answer should be "absolutely not!":
Mexico’s president said Wednesday his government will consider a plea by imprisoned drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to be returned to Mexico, presumably to serve out his sentence.
Guzman, 64, was sentenced to life behind bars in the United States for a drug conspiracy that spread murder and mayhem for more than two decades.
Guzman has lived in poor conditions in prison since his 2019 conviction, said José Refugio Rodríguez, a Mexican lawyer who claims to represent him. Rodríguez told local media that Guzman hasn't had adequate access to sunlight, visits, good food or medical care.
The Mexican Embassy in Washington said in its Twitter account that it had received an email from Rodríguez about the issue and had turned it over to Mexico's Foreign relations Department.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said “we will review it,” adding: “You always have to keep the door open when it comes to human rights.”
You are awful, Obrador.
