Tory’s surging ride-share bills before quitting

I was planning to wait until the final expense data for 2022 was posted. I also intended to do a more in-depth exploration of whether it matters that mayoral staffers have increasingly relied on a private transportation option to get around while doing their jobs — in the midst of TTC ridership struggles — but recent happenings have caused those plans to change. This data, after all, will be way less relevant with someone else in the mayor’s seat.

Still, I think the data is interesting.

When the Most Cynical Amongst Us Are Proved Right

“Enjoy the report.” Those were the last words Commissioner Paul Rouleau uttered before rising and leaving the room yesterday. The room in which he cheerfully announced that the Canadian government was justified when it invoked the Emergencies Act against festive, peaceful, working class protesters a year ago.

Which part did he imagine we’d enjoy? The knowledge that there’s absolutely no accountability in our political system? The knowledge that a vast network of supposed checks and balances (funded year in and year out by the sweat of working Canadians) offers us no protection from tyrannical, rogue politicians?

What the police told the Public Order Emergency Inquiry is not what Mendicino told Parliament

The OPP did not ask for the Emergencies Act to be invoked and did not ask the RCMP or federal government for any particular authorities or tools. The blockade of the Ambassador Bridge was cleared prior to the invocation of the Emergencies Act… [bold added, page 22]

The OPP says the federal government didn’t ask for advice:

“Mr. Sunny Ways” Wrecks Valentine’s Day

A mere six years later, Mr. Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act – last resort legislation meant for genuine emergencies. He did so over the objections of seven of Canada’s 10 provincial premiers. He did so before even trying to negotiate with the peaceful Freedom Convoy truckers who’d reached the end of their patience over yet another COVID mandate.

Justin Trudeau didn’t bring people together. He didn’t listen. Instead, he chose February 14th – Valentine’s Day – to turn Canada into a police state. That date will live in memory long after Mr Sunny Ways has left office.

Alberta resident launched powerful support network for Freedom Convoy participants in Ottawa

After hearing non-truckers were welcome to join the convoy, she filled her 26-foot camper trailer/caravan with “food, medical supplies, water, dog food and warm bedding” and, towing it behind her, got on the road. An Alberta couple she met while stopping for the night in Saskatchewan told her they’d “lost everything over the last eighteen months” due to COVID vaccine mandates. They viewed the convoy as their last chance to regain their employment, and were sleeping in their vehicle in -35C weather as they drove across the country. Michelle invited them into her camper and reports that, “by the time we reached Ottawa, there were up to seven people sleeping in my camper every night.”

Jordan Peterson Sets Up ‘Pro-Human’ Alternative to Globalist-Corporatist World Economic Forum

Professor of psychology and public speaker Jordan Peterson has announced the formation of an international consortium that would serve as a kind of populist alternative to the elitist World Economic Forum (WEF) and provide a countervailing force against globalist aims and narratives.

Peterson laid out his plan in an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, telling him that an inaugural event of the group is being planned for the cusp of October/November 2023 in London.

Around 2,000 business, cultural, and political figures will be invited to take part in the consortium, he said, adding that he wants the discussions open to the public and membership in the organization to be as broad as possible.
