FEATURESHow Trudeau bought the media
Through a long process of regulation, licensing, and cash handouts, Trudeau has managed to bring nearly the entire Canadian media under government supervision.
The overwhelming bulk of Canada’s media is bought, and paid for, by the federal government. In particular, by the Liberal Party which has extended generous taxpayer subsidies to outlets that comply with its diktats.
In its 2019 budget, the federal government rolled out nearly $600 million in subsidies for select media outlets that obtain the federal government’s approval. The latest $600 million cheque is meant to fill a blind spot in exerting government influence over the Canadian print and online media.
I will never visit Canada.
Canada is full of the following:
– morose Canadians miffed they don’t have the clout of the US
– morose Canadians carrying around huge mugs of coffee
– morose Canadians talking about ice hockey all the time
– snow
– moose, bears, and more bears

.1 Winning is fun;
.2 Losing is not fun;
.3 It is a team sport. Cohesive teams win more than rabble, all other things being equal. And at the elite level they are usually very close to equal;
.4 It is the job of a Captain or a Coach to keep a vigilant look-out for shitty selfish behaviour which damages team cohesion and to jump on it … hard.
.5 The Australian team is ripe for falling apart, despite recent success against B-Grade opposition. With blokes like Warner and Lyon on the wane (but hanging on by the fingernails), renowned selfish egotists like Labushagne and Smiff in the top four, and with Captain Kumbaya in charge, it is very fragile.
tar … feathers
Nah. A lotta good bowlers and batsmen in the shield comp.
Our B side would be most (not India)
I found Canadia full of charming, happy people.
It was summer, and a glorious one at that, and it was Vancouver Island. So that might be it. The towns along the Icefield Parkway and round about (the tourist trail) were equally friendly.
I am cheesed off with Canadians for one thing and one thing only. We visited London just before Canada Day and the buggers had set up an ice hockey rink in Trafalgar Square, blocking my way to the marvellous Landseer lions! It had to wait until another visit for a nose rub.
Apart from that 9/10 for welcoming and 10/10 for utter, unadulterated beauty.
I had a relative who taught Catholic children to matriculation in country Victoria in the forties through to the sixties, with great success I might add.
My understanding of the pre WWII Catholic push into the public service in Victoria was because private firms wouldn’t take Catholics into those kind of jobs.
Post war my father and others no doubt many others completed otherwise impossible tertiary education as returned servicemen, at night school.

Canadia
The secret state between Narnia and Canada. To get there, you must stand in an old cupboard and say sorry three times and then eat Maple Syrup and Turkish Delight and you will get teleported there.
Guy: “Hey what’s Joey doing in the cupboard with my Maple Syrup and Turkish Delight?”
Girl: “He’s trying to go to Canadia”
Fan-bluddee-tastic.
Apart from everything else, it is totally unfair to force young people to be an arm of the police-state. Immoral in fact.
The East Coast was just as lovely and laid back….Canada had quite a few Aussies working in tourism there, they had a reputation of doing a fair day’s work.
Cool story, bro, completely wrong.
Border returned from the 1993 Ashes Tour as Captain, a side was picked
to Tour somewhere at the start of the 93/94 season, Mark Taylor captain, Border not in the side.
He played for Queensland for a few more seasons.
It was deliberate, mole.
And I enjoyed doing it.
I’m only a wardrobe door away from Narnia. Just have to find the right wardrobe.
Ahh! The cricket expert, fast bowler and master batsman is here.
Latham, via TE:
This has been a growing trend, one that started to show its scaly self way, way before Covid.
I’ve noticed it developing over the past 30 years in the form of government fingers poked into the minutiae of HSE legislation.
In the resources industry, my rule book has developed from a few slim volumes + common sense + the legal penalties for negligence, into thousands of conflicting pages of regulations, codes, standards, ancillary legislation, plus case law defining what common sense means to a courtroom full of barristers.
OK, tough shit for me – don’t work managing natural resources projects – play the tiny violin.
But that erosion of common sense is equally tough for everyone else in their everyday lives – directly, or indirectly through absorbed costs and incomprehensible restrictions.
While I was boiling like the proverbial frog in regulation froth, my canary-in-the-mine was a case on the Gold Coast, probably about 20-25 years ago.
Someone lent a house on one of the canals to a friend who had a party therein. At some stage in the proceedings, a heavily pissed guest decided to dive off a railing into the canal. Unfortunately the water was only about 2’ deep, so the dickhead broke his neck and ended up a quadriplegic.
Tragic.
But not as tragic as the outcome for the householder, who ended up successfully sued for lifetime compensation by Mr Pissed Idiot, because there was no sign on the fence warning pissed idiots not to dive into shallow water. (I imagine the household insurance actually paid, but beside the point.)
A single case, but it was a major wake-up for me. And things have gone downhill big time since then in all aspects of life.
In part, at least, Government has seized on Covid super-regulation because it thinks that’s what Australians want. And obviously many do.
Rant. Sorry.
Which is where they will stay.
That is the point.
A core group of players now runs the show.
KD’s pen-pics of the top six are spot-on.
Davey is no more than a flat-track bully these days, and he will hang on to that Test contract until he is blasted out.
Kawahja isn’t an openers arsehole and, as for keeping him at six, you will get one meaningless hundred per series in a dead rubber match.
Labushagne is a nut job who cares about one thing, and one thing only – Labushagne’s batting average.
Ditto for Smiff who is on the wane and, like the Houso Ranga, will cling to that juicy contract as long as he can.
My wild card is Lyon. He is going well enough now, but has become very mouthy when any suggestion about selection of other spinners comes up. Not a good look, and reeks of the same attitude exhibited by Smith and the Ranga – it will take Seal Team Six to take them out.
The other wild card is Langer’s mates in the media. Expect some ruthless and scathing analysis at the first whiff of failure. These pansies will find that whilst you can control what the coach says to you, controlling what the media says about you is something else altogether. And these guys will all know who the white-ants are.

I thought he was just venting to a colleague.
But, no.
He actually “reached out” to Britanny ‘Iggins via a third party.
He would have known this would have become public at some point.
This is precisely what I mean about him playing the Canbra game, whilst his missus feeds the chooks via the Daily Tele.
They are both taking the piss.
He knew his ‘support for Britnah’ would circulate around the Canbra press gallery and grease the media rails when the time came for him to knife McCormack.
What a c**t.

How many Nineties did Davey make?
Langer is another one who couldn’t accept that his playing days were over.
Have a look at Langer’s real track record:
He’s given a team then plays the batsmen out of position.
Wadey had made more first class runs in the middle order for Tasmania over the previous 3 seasons than anyone else, but Langer picked him to open against India.
The plan failed as it was always going to and Joe Burns got flicked.
Did the same with Khawaja in the last Test, failed.
In a battle of wills the Board is always going to win over a coach like that.
Better off to appoint a good First Class cricketer such as Bayliss who doesn’t have anything to prove, since he wasn’t a Test player anyway.

Even if one were to accept some sort of control over private citizen’s rights to own guns, I can’t see how it can be argued against every freehold landowner with no convictions for serious violent crimes having a legally enshrined right to own a firearm kept on the property for self-defence.

Canadia also doesn’t have highly poisonous snakes.
An acquaintance, as a Canadian soldier, attended the Staff College there. As was the custom, other Commonwealth and allied soldiers also attended. In the field one day, a snake (harmless) appeared. The Africans (familiar with lots of violently lethal snakes) headed for the nearest tree and climbed up. My acquaintance strolled over, picked it up, wandered into the scrub and threw it away.
The Africans thought he was a hero, and bought him lots of beers during the rest of the course.

Doctors over prescribe but we suffer for it.

Great rant, Doc F! Totally agree.
Best man and I often exchange stories of nannying trumping commonsense from the articles that we read: MacDonalds sued by customer who was burnt by hot coffee, to name just one. (Outcome: big payout and Maccas must serve coffee at much cooler temp, spoiling the experience for everyone else.)
Then there are the user manuals. BM says that in the Tradies world the slim, precise booklet of yore has had to expand to a major tome to compensate for the stupidity of a few cretins. Same with household goods: warnings to be careful because electric kettles get hot, or to avoid immersing a toaster in water.
It alarms me that there really are people out there who are so stupid that they need these cautions. But it alarms me more that Government is keen to jump in with over-kill regulations to nanny these half-wits, as though they are the majority and no-one is capable of self reliance and responsibility.
Yep.
When they face some real opposition it will be popcorn time.
And don’t worry about “oh, our press isn’t like Fleet Street”.
Most of the influential cricket commentators are Langer’s contemporaries and love the droning little bugger.
And they know the names of all of those who wielded the knives.
I didn’t know the COIVD vaccines were highly addictive.
No, i’m saying that Wadey was selected for what he had done batting at 5 or 6.
Opening with him was a slap in the face to the Selectors, the Board, the team, Wadey and everyone else.
Langer’s history was that he was selected as a top/middle order batsman against W.I. in the 92/93 Series, failed, and worked his way back into the side, after many years, as an Opener.
That’s great for him, but Wadey was selected to play in the Middle Order, he’s made Test centuries there before and Langer behaved like an arsehole.
Tinta – surprised you aren’t doing your own pickling. I used to have a jar of those red salad onion rings in the fridge over summer with a beer and for sandwiches. Might not be needed now.
https://www.davidlebovitz.com/a-bit-of-a-pick/
Not Perfesser von Wrongsolen, presumably.
The chilli pickled onions are nice too.
The homebrand Coles sliced jalapenos are also very good, and cheap. The Fehlbergs ones are a gnat’s whisker better though, and are the best I’ve found.
Who else but Scotty Morrison.
Higgins was all over the Front Pages back then, Scotty’s goons had an interest in monitoring her communications, and he sat on it until he needed it.
Who remembers the Scott is a Psycho texts anymore?
No doubt the golden triangle can use synthetic drugs instead of plant derived drugs, but a lot of illicit stuff is made in the US, stolen, it was invented by J&J and is still made by them.
It is also a totally legitimate drug for terminal cancer patients and so on.

Can’t beat my mum’s pickled jalapenos though. Spiced with I don’t know what spices, several of them, and cut longitudinally rather than crosswise. She’d do me a quart jar from time to time, which would last quite a while. Just yum.
Core of my heart, my cuntry!

Well, yourself Eddles, obviously.
Being called a liar isn’t the deal breaker the Private School educated Press Club members think it is.
Scotty has turned it to his advantage by leaking, then forgiving BarnaDroog.
Yeah, it’s cruel, so he probably is a psycho, but it’s still funny.
Just quietly, i’m predicting he’ll do a lot more leaking closer to the election.

“Why are these blokes who put on a dress called transexuals?
Good question, in fact many are actually autogynephiliacs, men who get sexually aroused by putting on a frock , make up, lipstick, high heel shoes and who strut about pretending to be a woman.

“Freaks will do as well.”

Ah yes, but he was in a different “headspace” at the time.
Look, if these repulsive imbeciles want to abuse each other incessantly then fine – I just object (profoundly) to them taking their inadequacies (which are many) out on us.
Go and find a yapdog to kick (hint – Johnny Depp and his erstwhile missus may have some available).
No, they are scared of being blamed for climate. It may usher in a fate worse than death for them- eviction from the trough.
It’s exactly the same desperate parasite mentality that has driven these tyrants to make our lives a misery for over 2 years. They must keep us “safe” to avoid blame for the faux calamity that may take their jobs.
Despicable vermin they all are.

Re my earlier comment on the UAP meeting last evening, someone asked ‘Can anyone tell me a major policy difference between the Libs and Labor (Federal)?”. There was mainly silence, but one bloke said ” The Libs want 36% target for their net zero and Labor wants 40%?.
Can anyone here tell me the major policy differences between Lib and Labor? There may be some minor and disregarded philosophical difference but actual policies, not much.
I’m pretty sure that’s the same in every state…
The best thing that most people can get away with in their car is a Mag Light or a crowbar.
Private citizens in Australia are not legally allowed to ‘be prepared to defend themselves’ in any way.

It’s brilliant, every strategy employed by the authotities or their cronies gets immediately outmanoeuvered by the protestors.
The best comment I’ve read to date – “the authorities don’t know these people, they are shocked that ordinary folk can be resourceful, highly organised, self disciplined, and very determined”. “They are even more shocked that the protestors are impervious to media hysterics”.
Government orcs have no understanding that whole sectors of society organise and prosecute their lives in spite of Government, not because of it.
Go you beautiful thing.
Ominous comment on the Lotus Eaters that even if the the protesters win this round, the authorities will relentlessly devote themselves to destroying their economic base, their culture and their access to public services.
They are committed, they must win.
oh but I do H.B Bear but it is really hard to come by jalopenos – well sufficient to have some left over to pickle — I usually bake them filled with a savoury stuffing of ricotta – what a treat — I pickle radishes and now I have a crop of cucumbers that are just magnificent — my dear Sunbather has been impressed with the crop and has been reading up on the ‘net that the flowers have to be pollinated and was asking if I’d seen bees — I have seen a few and some butterflies but he said that he needed a little paintbrush to do the pollinating to help Nature along —
Tada!!! handed him a tiny paintbrush and it was such a hoot to see him out there doing the pollinating. I love that guy and the crop is now doing quite well. Pickling will happen when the crop becomes too much to eat or give away. They are the telegraph cucumbers delicious just quartered and put with a few halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar and topped with crumbled feta — mwwwwha delish!
Beetrooter sent a text to a third party saying, “Pass on to Britnah that I know Morrison is … yada, yada”

I’m afraid I draw the line well short of rollmops. Maybe if you’ve been snowed in for 6 months.
Dads wife does a great pickled cucumber.
The local market gardens thin out their cucumber plants and chuck out thousands of tiny 1″ cukes.
She does them in brine, fish sauce, sugar and chili mix.
Got to balance the brine and sugar though or its a bit too salty.
Shallots get the same treatment, very nice.
Someone came up with an excellent idea of cutting the US murder rate by 80% through gun control.
Ban demonrats from owning guns as they commit 80% of murders and crime in America. That’s a really neat idea I think.
Yeah.
Labor has been determined to completely fuck Australia over since 1972 and they’ve spent 22 of the last 50 years doing it.
The Liberal Party just want everything to run smoothly and considering the 22 years of fucking that Labor has done to Australia, the Liberals have done a reasonably good job.

I think he was on probation with voters over his sordid affair with the help.
Having a bit of a vent and bagging ScoMo to a colleague might be one thing.
But “reaching out” to Britnah is something else altogether.
Putting sitting members last will put an end to this scum. The earth will be cleansed with electoral fire, Insh’allah my brother.
It is entirely possible that my ballot paper might have the sitting member last.
But it will be due to my analysis of the candidates, not through following the Faulty voting method.
Thanks to the shooter’s party, in NSW the government has to prove you were not in fear of your life/bodily harm should you defend yourself. Everywhere else you’ve got to prove you were. It’s a small difference, but a very significant one.
Of course if you’re dumb enough to have something handy to defend yourself and admit it they will throw the book at you and you’ll struggle.

Yeah.
Labor has been determined to completely fuck Australia over since 1972 and they’ve spent 22 of the last 50 years doing it.
The Liberal Party just want everything to run smoothly and considering the 22 years of fucking that Labor has done to Australia, the Liberals have done a reasonably good job.

This claim that Pence could have overturned the result of the 2020 election.
What is the explicit Constitutional or legislative provision under which he could have done so?
The Electoral Count Act. It arguably gave pence extensive power to reject dubious state results. The demorats are now seeking to amend the act, hence Trump’s claim that this proves Pence did have the power to reject dubious voting results. This is particularly relevant given the current revelations about fraud.

JC.
I am trying to get to the source legislation and/or Constitutional provisions.
I understand “The Electoral Act” is what Trump is relying on to say Pence should have intervened.
Some questions.
.1 I am reading that Pence’s role as President of the Senate is one of a presider not a decider.
.2 As a presider does he have any scope to intervene?
.3 If so, can he intervene where he suspects or knows there is improper practice among or between EC candidates?
.4 If there is no impropriety among EC candidates, can he deep dive into the actual ballot for President in selected states?
.5 Is his presider role defined by the Constitution or the Electoral Act? If it is the Constitution, how explicit are his powers? If the Electoral Act, what odds SCOTUS might declare those powers unconstitutional if exercised?

I had in mind someone much closer to us electronically.
I meant to comment on that too.
I don’t buy that as prima facie evidence.
I see announcements by the ‘rats that they are amending the Electoral Count Act as part of the “we dodged a bullet” narrative.
I would like to see the precise wording of the anendment and what it is replacing.
I genuinely have no view on this.
I want to get to source documentation.
Not what Nancy or Joe says or what Donald says.
Its telling that Pence claims he didn’t have the authority yet the Dems are trying to change the rules to prevent a VP from doing the same (reject the college votes)
At the sasme time you ask yourself why would the Dems do that knowing that this would be a lever of power they would most certainly exert thenmselves.

Not fussy either way Rabz.
But if they do, they had better be prepared for some robust questioning if they start defending the fat fuck’s behaviour … on a range of fronts.
See above Custard.
The ‘rats are running a strong “we dodged a bullet” narrative.
Posturing about Jan 6, putting up fences around the Capitol and announcing amendments to the Electoral Count Act is all part of their mid-term “we saved the Republic” narrative.
So, what are the precise amendments?
Just inserting the (possibly redundant) words “the VP cannot overturn the election” doesn’t mean much if those powers were excluded anyway.

They certainly were that. The account I’ve been reading of 3rd Div in PNG is fun: the Americans agreed to land a battalion at Nassau Bay south of Salamaua…it was a very entertaining story. Most of the casualties they suffered were own goals and the Aussies were warned to stay far away from the American perimeter after dusk (see the black comedic tale of woe here, from p95).
Yet a month or two later the US infantry were fighting like tigers very effectively. That seems common with US guys, they start with giant egos and hopeless on-the-ground ability then rapidly go up a learning curve to become rather good.

Many are not interested in cutting off their dicks and taking hormones, they think (and they’re now allowed to) that putting on a dress and simply identifying as a woman means that they’re actual women. So the pervert at Wi Spa, who’s had zero work, identifies as a woman, is allowed by management to use the female change rooms, undresses and walks naked around in front of women and children with a FUCKING ERECTION.

no mandatory booster for health workers in nsw, what did Andrews say about listening to experts?

Just read that text.
Long standing opinion apparently.
Pence was chosen because (a) he was considered a terrifying knuckle-dragging Christian with hair all over and a Bible too big to be carried around in anything less than a pickup truck, and (b) was plugged into the RNC old boys network. That did two useful things for Trump: deter the Dems from deposing him and keep the RNC reasonably on side. Unfortunately when his life-test came Pence bugged out.

“Fuck off, Sargon. “Childless people are not productive”, fuck off pal, you wifed up a single mother, you have no kids.”
Carl Benjamin does have children.
The ECA contains many ambiguities as to what the role of the VP is and what powers he has: whether he can reject votes, whether, as happened , he can choose which votes submitted from a state are valid if more then one set of electoral college votes are received, whether he can consider claims of fraud and so on. Because of that vagueness Trump can claim pence did have the right while RINOs and the demorats say he did not. Historically the ECA was created to solve stalemates in the vote counting process. There is no doubt the ECA is ambiguous but since pence was and is a creature of convention there was never any doubt he would stray from that convention. Which personifies the problem with the GOP and conservatives: they still believe there are rules when those rules have been fractured. That pence did not reject tainted votes simply restates the problem: which is the demorats cheat and break the rules while the GOP play by those rules.

Oh, he wanted it to be leaked.
He wanted it to be leaked “inside the beltway” (as the wankers in Canbra who watch too much West Wing like to call Canbra), and he wanted the leak to that group to be attributed to him, to earn kudos as a supporter of Britnah.
He knew it would probably eventually leak more widely, but was counting on that being attributed to “a senior LNP minister”, damaging ScoMo but keeping his support for Brittnah under wraps.
I reckon Beetrooter will cop more of a backlash from those who matter (i.e. potential LNP voters) than ScoMo will.
Too smart by half.
Had a bizarre Aussie moment late this arvo when I first heard the news on the 6pm broadcast at my local news agency.

He took my head shaking as a signal to start up a fiery, yet charming, Chinglish monologue of the innate stupidity of Cricket Australia and how it would serve the ignorant bastards right if JL decamped to the UK and trained up a winning Ashes team to stick it up the Australians.

The concept that with a booster you can get quite sick but not very sick is total bullshit.
A local family of five had four feeling quite ill except for on kid . All kids double vaxxed and adults tripled.
That’s very reminiscent of natural immunity at work and not the slightest bit like an efficacious vaccine. 20% immunity is the number that immunologists usually work on for a new virus.

A question for the farmers.
I’m reading “Entangled Life” which is in part about the intricate relationship between fungi and plants. 90% of plants are dependent on fungi. Fungi is extensive throughout soils and helps provide nutrients(especially phosphorous), prevents erosion because of all the extensions of fungi, helps maintain water retention and other stuff.
Is there is any attention paid to the role of fungi in modern agriculture?

Chances are the health workers and nurses unions, their members have dug in their heels for number 3 and the health system cannot afford to sack 50%+ of it’s staff right now. They’re already struggling after losing roughly 10% who told them to stick it already.

A state court in PA said the legislation upon which universal mail-in was authorized was unconstitutional. The legislature in WI has said that directions by the WI Electoral Commission re absentee voting were contrary to state law. This was alleged in Nov 2020. Pence could have asked that this be specifically addressed and answered before he accepts the EC votes from those states. The same coyld have been asked re AZ, GA, and elsewhere.

ffs
Is there is any attention paid to the role of fungi in modern agriculture
Mainly in controlling the tissue destroying types with chemicals.
Bacterial inoculants are widely used for legumes and some brews are used to stimulate root growth but the results are nothing startling.
Minimum tillage should enhance fungi in the soil as cultivation breaks up and dries out spores. On the other hand fungicides leaching from the crop canopy would do the opposite.
Beneficial fungi are well known to Ag science but so far there’s little commercial benefit from propagating them.
There is doubt what power Pence had under the Act to veto EC votes.
I mean, I am trying to look at what the strict legal position was, not what I would like to have happened.
Two things:-
.1 The legislative position seems opaque, at best;
