Of Measles And Liquid Gas

Just a quick one.

Turns out Canada doesn't mind making business deals for liquid gas.

Let's back up. A few months ago Japan and Germany came around asking for some of that sweet liquid gas only to be rebuffed by the government of Canada. But Canada then turned around and did this with Qatar. 

"Qatar Energy has recently entered into two agreements with ExxonMobil Canada to obtain LNG exploration licenses in the waters near Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. The collaboration in education and healthcare has played a significant role in enhancing the bond and connection between the citizens of both nations. "

Huh.

Look up Qatar. Then tell me how their 'values' line up with ours. Canada doesn't do values.

People are all surprised by this.

Should they though? 

This is very much in Canada's MO. Always was. That is, mercantilism never really left the colonial mindset of Canadians. Instead of just exploring and extracting the LNG ourselves and selling it on the market - you know, like normal countries would do - we decide to outsource it so that others can reap the economic benefits. Which is what happened when Qatar inked a deal with....you guessed it....Germany and Japan. Canada, recall, purchases its oil from Saudi Arabia while doing everything possible to not develop our own resources.

But then we have a carbon tax to reduce emissions. A measure that won't do anything because the basic premise of C02 driving temperatures is a false one. A monumentally foolish one. But that's not the point here. 'Zero' anything is just Marxist mumbo-jumbo nonsense. 

The point here is the head spins.

See. Canada is doing this to 'look' Green. They don't want to be 'seen' doing anything icky like selling the one thing that the world needs from us: Oil and gas. We're a natural resource based economy and the 'transition' from this is simply not feasible. 

In this way, the Qatar deal makes perfect sense. It's a head shaker for countries for sure, but here we are.

Canada 2024. Ruled by stupid people with not inner-core principles.

Not the brightest bunch are we?

And what has this gotten us?

It keeps our prosperity down (and I won't get into economics here) while ensuring we're the shittiest 'green' performer.

Ah, Canada.

Mediocre and proud of it.

Hey, as long as we're not American, right?

*******

What happened to measles? Weren't the unvaccinated going to kill us all? As vaccine confidence and uptake continues to sink (gee, I wonder why?), the 'experts' have been falling all over themselves trying to figure out why. Of course, it's not because of their own actions and rhetoric during COVID. Nope. To admit this would mean to be humble and courageous. They've invested too much of their reputations in sticking to the failed COVID narrative and now they must sink with it. They were to foolish and cowardly to course correct.

They learned no lessons which is why they're becoming more and more authoritarian forcing medical tyranny - for our own good.

The public is having none of it and this drives the paternalist-technocrats in the medical field mad.

They act like it's all new but they damn well know the real stats.

Everything is about driving moral panics now.

Don't let them make useful idiots out of you. 

There's a fine line between informing the public and propagandizing them. And boy are we heavily into the latter. 

I'm gonna stop here lest I get into a rant about people like Andre Picard - and 'ethicists' like Arthur Caplan and his dehumanizing nonsense.

On the Arizona abortion ruling. I haven't looked into it yet but seeing the howls from the usual suspects - especially in slow witted Canada - I'm pretty sure it's being mangled and misinterpreted just like SCOTUS's ruling on Roe V. Wade.

But I will say Quebec is the LAST jurisdiction to pass judgment on any state or province on the continent. The sheer arrogance of this place is quite breathtaking. 

We have some of the worst metrics in economics here. A second rate collapsing public health system and other poor health outcomes. We're a laggard have-not province that firmly operates on a collectivist communistic model. 

Of course they embrace things like MAIDS and late-term abortions. They swapped the Church for the godless 'secular' state.

I'll end here.
