The Carney government's rhetoric is not matched with results and Canadians are paying a heavy price.

The World consumes 105 million barrels of oil per day. The People and Parties that spent a decade trying to convince Canadians that crude oil was dead should be mocked and vilified.

Canada has a strategic opportunity and a moral imperative to exploit its natural resources.

Wool can make a comeback.

Not by competing with polyester on price.

By competing with polyester on everything else.

Wool is naturally fire-resistant: it chars rather than melts, and does not sustain combustion easily. This is why firefighters' proximity suits historically used wool and why wool upholstery is still specified in commercial aviation.

Wool is naturally antimicrobial. The lanolin and the protein structure of the fibre inhibit bacterial growth. A wool garment worn multiple times between washes does not smell the way a synthetic does. This is why Merino base layers exist and why endurance athletes pay significant money for them.

Wool is biodegradable. Entirely, completely, within years rather than centuries.

Wool is a carbon store. The protein structure locks up atmospheric carbon sequestered by the grass the sheep ate.

Wool regulates temperature in both directions: the crimp structure traps air as insulation in cold and wicks moisture in heat. No synthetic fibre does this across the full range.

Wool is renewable. It grows back.

The British wool industry is not dead.

It is undervalued and under-marketed and competing with a product that is only cheaper because nobody is pricing in the plastic in the ocean and the microfibre in the food chain and the petroleum extraction at the start of the supply chain.

Price those in.

Price the plastic honestly.

Suddenly the sheep in the Cumbrian field is producing something that costs 30 pence a kilo and saves the water system.

The sheep has always been the better option.

The sheep has been waiting patiently for the accounting to catch up.

Out of nowhere, Canada became poorer than Alabama. How is that possible? https://t.co/2qUA7SyB3t

The top researcher on effects of different light wavelengths on mitochondrial health says LED bulbs are as problematic for health as asbestos. People will kick & scream about this, but Dr Jeffery’s lab has strong data on harmful effects of LED bulbs & the benefits of red light.

[Dr. Leslyn Lewis @LeslynLewis]

A recent @JCCFCanada report “Manufacturing Consent: How Canada’s Government Manipulates Public Opinion”, implicates the federal Liberals in engaging in manipulative persuasion tactics, spending over $595 million in media subsidies, plus millions more on behavioural-insights teams, communications units, and digital-strategy programs to shape what Canadians see and influence how they think.

The report outlines how this money is being used to:

1. Make media financially dependent on government support, reducing critical coverage.

2. Use behavioural science to influence public reactions and guide opinion.

3. Label dissenting views as “misinformation” or “extremism” to deter debate.

4. Expand surveillance of citizens’ movements, finances, and online activity.

5. Normalize emergency powers and restrictions that limit civil liberties.

6. Rely on government-funded “fact-checkers” to control which viewpoints are treated as legitimate.

Taken together, these actions mirror tactics used in authoritarian systems, where governments shape narratives, manage dissent, and influence citizens’ beliefs and behaviours without their consent.

Canadians and Parliament need to push back. We must demand transparency, stand up for free expression, safeguard digital privacy, support independent media, and limit government overreach.

Our democracy depends on keeping government power in check.
