Experts say 100% of people who believe Canada will be invaded by the U.S. are fully vaccinated.

The Globe needs 16M give Shaun Semple 10M if he takes over the Globe. He understands the entertainment business.
The folks at the Globe do not understand the entertainment business.

In a late and lengthy private session with mayor and council on July 22nd, the executive director of Regina’s Globe Theatre, Oz Weaver, requested a $1,380,000 grant for the theatre to meet payables and urgent obligations. The Globe is citing significant cash flow pressures resulting from their major renovation of the historic, 119 year old Prince Edward Building. The initial renovation cost was budgeted at $29M but later exceeded $48M. Of that the federal and provincial governments contributed nearly $20M and the city contributed over $8.5M. The Globe additionally receives $128k annually through the city’s community grant program.

The Globe states they have depleted their cash reserves and without the immediate financial support of a $1.38M grant it will “begin an orderly shutdown or significant reduction in operations.” In total, they require roughly $16.3 million to pay off all outstanding debts and payables. In addition to the $1.38M grant from Regina, the Globe is working to secure $12M from the federal government. It also has another roughly $2.9 million confirmed or pledged from fundraising, sponsorships, consultant cost reductions, and confirmed gift payments.

City administration is recommending the $1.38M grant be drawn from the city’s General Fund Reserve. The reserve has a current balance of $21.3M, which is already a full $14.5M below its minimum balance. Mayor and council will deliberate the grant request in an upcoming meeting on Wednesday, July 29th.

The CEO of Air Canada is gone - and the Board got the PMs message:

Canada is a place where the market must constantly bow to the whims of the govt.

No matter how ridiculous the govt becomes about what it wants or why….

For those who followed my recent twitter dialogue regarding MAiD. I know the person in the video. It was outrageous that she was offered MAiD at Vancouver General. This 84 year old just hiked up a volcano in Guatemala! @AmandaAchtman

Yikes.

In Saskatchewan, more than 28 per cent of people work for some level of government.

In Manitoba, it's 26 per cent. In British Columbia, it's 21 per cent.

And in Alberta, it's 18 per cent.

That's unaffordable. You can't grow an economy off the backs of legions of bureaucrats.

The last time the United States won a gold medal in hockey at the Olympics, OJ Simpson was a beloved celebrity, Bruce Jenner was a guy, and Bernie Sanders was only 73.

🚨Update: it’s spreading.

5,400 federal workers have received adjustment notices across multiple departments.

Scientists and researchers are now protesting on Parliament Hill.

28,000 public service jobs targeted. $60B in savings.
Workers are being told to compete for their own roles while consultants stay.

This is austerity in real time.

On the one hand the Chinese government systematically conspired to interfere in multiple Canadian elections in favour of pro-CCP candidates and also kidnapped two random Canadians living in China to use as pawns against the Canadian government.

On the other hand Trump was mean on Twitter.

So the ledger balances out nicely.

While we’re on the topic of sovereignty, Mark Carney had a choice to make during his visit to China: lead with principle, or bow to the will of Xi. He chose the latter by ordering his MPs out of Taiwan.

Taiwan is a vibrant democracy, a trusted partner, and a nation in every meaningful sense. 🇹🇼

Canada should lead by example. It’s time to open an embassy in Taipei.

Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died.

Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace.

In November, year-over-year food inflation was 4.7% in Canada.

In the U.S.? Just 1.9% — despite a tariff-happy president.

Let that sink in.

The president of the transit union, Sukhwinder Singh, told Regina’s mayor and council that the city’s brand new $2M electric buses are only drivable for 1.5-3 hours in the winter before their battery dies.

Regina currently has 7 electric buses in its fleet with 13 more planned for delivery in 2026 as part of the city’s climate change action plan. They had a combined cost of $50M+ which was split between the city and the federal government.

I did not know that we are the ONLY country to have implemented it into our legal system.

UNDRIP is a non-binding international instrument, but a powerful moral and policy guide. Only Canada has fully codified it in national law (Bill C‑15), with provinces like BC moving further. Other countries recognize it, but few have translated it into binding domestic legislation, especially regarding Indigenous governance and land rights.

Professor Newman's Substack is extremely helpful and well worth signing up for, but his series over the last few days on the Gitxaala v Chief Gold Commissioner case is a must read because of the massive implications it has:

"On its reasoning, both the British Columbia legislation and the federal legislation now empower the courts to be using UNDRIP generally in interpreting and even making judicial declarations against various pieces of British Columbia and federal law. The consequences are enormous. The Gitxaala case warrants very significant attention and response."

This man - Doug White, a “first nations” chief - is paid around $300,000 per year to “advise” David “Call Me Dave” Eby on how to best screw British Columbians in the so called “reconciliation” process.

Step 1 in fighting back is to identify these people. https://t.co/mx9I4M6xle
