But still we must report the derp!
Manbearpig (aka Al Gore) says we have 12 years to save the planet okay?
12.
That's it.
What happens to my outstanding loans if it does?

Expect a reboot of asshole inspectors from L'Office de la Langue Francaise harassing peaceful citizens who pay their damn taxes for not being French enough thanks to the CAQ.
I say pasta, you say pate!
The CAQ are just the PQ but with two more letters.
Francois Legault is just another tiresome Quebec nationalist.
Once again, we have to operate our business with one-eye open because Legault is encouraging a snitch society. Some jerk off can complain he hears too much English in my place and some jerk off hero from L'office will come in and inspect.
From their web page:
Before I begin, I'd like to explain and preface what I'm about to say that I don't necessarily disagree with protecting Quebec's culture and support it wherever I can. After all, they're my fellow citizens.
Where I disembark is with the above passages because they trample on civil liberties. In my view, we must remove ourselves from identity politics if we're to respect one another where freedom of speech and expression are concerned.
Punitive measures against citizens who pay taxes is grotesque in my view. It's unfortunate and not conducive to a true pluralist society that cherishes liberty. We can promote French without trampling on the rights of non-Francophones. Personally, I don't see how it's necessary. It creates an atmosphere of ill-will. For example, I can be fine in my business because you have to understand, these people go around looking at fricken telephones and computers for English words. How that promotes or protects the French language has yet to be properly explained and conveyed to me.
The second part is just as bad. Name me a society that does (well, no one has a language police on the continent) this. How will it be enforced? I know people who don't speak French and have lived here all their lives. They pay their taxes and yet Quebec culture still thrives. Demanding everyone speaks French is unworkable not to mention excessive. Who cares if someone freely chooses not to? It's their loss and they will struggle to adjust here.
Moroever, in a bigger picture, my concern is how this will likely discourage really talented people we can use from other parts of the continent. I know several of my American friends who would not freely move up here unless commanded by their company because of all this. They don't need these added pressures in their lives.
My opinion? The CAQ should lay off these two 'promises'.
The joke around my circle is always 'be careful. Are we speaking enough French?'
So much for live and let live.

Study says climate change affects mental health.
Maybe because they keep fear-mongering about it?
Someone I know is a psychiatrist and feels stressed out about it. After a bit of a 'snap out of it' talk she kinda got the point of how silly she was.
Don't let Al Gore scare you because that's how Al Gore gets paid.

Even if half right.
That's frightening. No wonder the populist right is achieving power.
**** It's been many ways and in many different positions the left bring us hard hitting bull shit.
File under: Hillary's Civility.
Not enough of her?
Chet this out. It wasn't 'rape-victim rape-victim'.

Promotion of FrenchThe Office de la langue française will be given a clear mandate to coordinate a concerted francization effort across Québec. A commissioner to French language will be appointed and tasked with receiving complaints from the people and with recommending ways to ensure the status of French as the common language of Québec.
100% FrancizationFor greater success in the integration of immigrants, it will be mandatory for any newcomer wanting a Selection Certificate to learn French. This will give them more opportunities to work and prosper in Québec.

"There are 423 new mosques in London and most of these mosques are crowded at prayer times unlike many churches which rarely see visitors.
The Daily Mail published photographs of a church and a mosque a few meters from each other in the heart of London. At the Church of San Giorgio, designed to accommodate 1,230 worshipers, only 12 people gathered to celebrate Mass. At the Church of Santa Maria, there were 20
The nearby Brune Street Estate mosque has a different problem: overcrowding. Its small room can contain only 100.
By 2020, estimates are that the number of Muslims attending prayers will reach at least 683,000, while the number of Christians attending weekly Mass will drop to 679,000..."
"...London is also full of Shariah courts. There are officially 100. The advent of this parallel judicial system has been made possible thanks to the British Arbitration Act and the system of Alternative Dispute Resolution."

That's frightening. No wonder the populist right is achieving power.

Letters to the Local Rag: Quantity over Quality
“We may consider America to be the leading democracy in the world, but we make voting more restrictive and difficult than most democracies. As a result, we have lower voting turnouts than most other countries. Voting is compulsory in Australia and Belgium, and nearly all democracies hold their elections on public holidays which include paid designated election days. As the leader, we should have the least restrictive and easiest, but most verifiable and protected voting system, regardless of states’ rights to confuse the procedures.”

“Tarrio, who identifies as Afro-Cuban, is president of the Miami chapter of the Proud Boys, who call themselves “Western chauvinists,” and “regularly spout white-nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
Bull fucken shit. They’re not white supremacists. It’s pure smear.
The SPLC is gonna one day have to account for their outright lies.
“Editor’s Note: This story has been updated with a statement from the Proud Boys and to clarify that the group formally opposed the Charlottesville march.”
Yeh because if you’d bother to get off your lazy asses and actually LISTEN to McInness – it’s not like he’s hard to find – you would have known this. Moreover, you’d know he’s married to a Native American and doesn’t spew racist nonsense.
It’s just that you’re idiotic definition of racism is so loose many people qualify as one.

"As the planet warms, new authoritarian movements in the West are embracing a toxic combination of climate denial, racism and misogyny. Rather than consider these resentments separately, this article interrogates their relationship through the concept of petro-masculinity, which appreciates the historic role of fossil fuel systems in buttressing white patriarchal rule. Petro-masculinity is helpful to understanding how the anxieties aroused by the Anthropocene can augment desires for authoritarianism. The concept of petro-masculinity suggests that fossil fuels mean more than profit; fossil fuels also contribute to making identities, which poses risks for post-carbon energy politics. Moreover, through a psycho-political reading of authoritarianism, I show how fossil fuel use can function as a violent compensatory practice in reaction to gender and climate trouble."
Petro-masculinity. Cute.
I always find it interesting whenever leftists sign the praises of 'socialist' Scandinavia, a county like Norway derives most of its wealth to pay for its luxurious welfare apparatus via....oil.
These people.

Little else because it has no intellectual, cultural, or even legal and moral value.

I found myself cheering Hayek on.
Not even Keynes was Keynes.

Another angle to why Christopher Columbus (so absurdly maligned by modern leftists who take, surprise, a predictable one-dimensional and static view of Columbus) pushed for exploration.

Meanwhile, all this has accomplished (with attention whores and opportunists hogging the spotlight) is to make it harder for real victims of rape to come forward.
