Line 5: Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer sticks a finger in Canada's eye

 

Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer sticks a finger in Canada's eye




So you thought things couldn't get more interesting an lo it did.  The threats to line 5 are growing everyday.  If Witmer is successful the damage to Canadian/US relations will take the elevator to the basement.  Screw with Alberta and noone east of Saskatchewan gives a shit but let those self absorbed Easterners have their gas cut off then watch out.  They should have thought about energy security when they killed the Energy East project.

U.N. Chief Guterres Orders Cancellation of All Global Coal Projects

 

U.N. Chief Guterres Orders Cancellation of All Global Coal Projects



Couldn't leave this little article unread.  We are seeing the the start of orders coming down from our global masters.  You can't respect anything they say since they are so political and not based in reality.  Luckily for us they are going to have to order the Chinese to shut in their mines, not going to happen.

America's Cup: Amazing sailing or should I say flying

 America's Cup: Amazing sailing or should I say flying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H98nH-dvNUE&feature=youtu.be


Whether I am in Calgary or Fernie the one constant factor of my life is I live 3,500 ft (for kids today that is 1070M) above sea level.  As you can imagine that would make sailing a sport that was hard to relate to.  Au contraire, we landlocked people can enjoy sailing, I learned as a kid on Glenmore Reservoir where the fickle winds and the enthusiasm of transplanted Brits, Aussie's and American's brought their love of sailing to us Calgary youngsters.  Part of learning sailing is for most of us to love sailing.  Over the years I have had the pleasure of enjoying many sailing trips in the Gulf Islands over the years.

As a kid I also started to follow the America's Cup.  Dennis Conner was the star of the eighties and ultimately also broke the American hold of the cup by ultimately losing to Australia.


While he was winning he almost made the series boring, no one seemed able to beat him. Then he lost and the series got interesting when the Aussie's beat him.  The winged keel of Australia II gave the Cup to the Australians.  This broke the contest wide open and technology has been allowed to change the face of the race.  I was in San Francisco in 2013 when the catamarans with wings first showed up.  It was very exciting to see the Oracle team come from behind and learn flying in the middle of the series. 

Since then technology has moved even further.  I first heard about the new foils from a friend in Fernie, Pete, a transplanted Australian shipwright and sailor.  In the course of having our Covid outdoor coffee meetings we discussed his love of sailing and where it has come during his lifespan.  I couldn't believe it until now.  Amazing.  The sailing or flying is fascinating but the crashes are going to be spectacular.

Hahaha.  Does this crazy person thinks anyone believes her story.  Not a chance.  How did she become the Police Chief?  Has she been checked for drugs.

PERVERTED SCIENCE: New Study Warns Of The Unintended Consequences Of Massive Solar Farms

 

New Study Warns Of The Unintended Consequences Of Massive Solar Farms


Here is another ludicrous idea from our climate sciences, similar to the Nazi idea of draining the Mediterranean sea to create farmland or Bill Gates and his idea to spray dust into the upper atmosphere to block the sun. The depth of thinking going into these concepts is as dense as a tweet or a tiktok.  This is why science is no longer respected.
