The European Union now faces up to ten years of “terrible” winters of energy insecurity as a result of its green agenda, with many nations in the bloc having gotten themselves addicted to Russian gas in service of climate crazy ideals.

Derek H. Burney: Breaking through Trudeau’s obfuscation on LNG
So, let’s try to get some things straight. About the time Vladimir Putin chose to invade Ukraine, Canada decided to veto Énergie Saguenay’s proposed LNG export facility in Northern Quebec, a project intended to enable exports to Europe. One month later, the natural resources minister Jonathan Wilkinson said, “Our European friends and allies need Canada and others to step up.” He added “They are telling us they need our help in getting out of Russian oil and gas in the short term.”
Solomon Islands turns away western naval ships after China security pact
The Solomon Islands has suspended visits from western naval ships less than six months after signing a security pact with Beijing that raised fears that China would establish a military base there.
A US Coast Guard cutter, the Oliver Henry, received no response when it requested permission to refuel in the Pacific nation a week ago.
Manasseh Sogavare, prime minister of the Solomons, confirmed the suspension of visits. He said that HMS Spey, a British offshore patrol vessel on Indo-Pacific duties, had also aborted its planned visit because of “approval delays”.
Hope they enjoy the co-prosperity sphere.
It’s time woke politicians faced the consequences of their own beliefs
In America, supporters of illegal immigration are finally seeing the reality on their own doorsteps
Other challenges come and go, but migration remains one of the greatest challenges of our age. Never has it been easier for people in the developing world to learn what life is like in the developed world. Never has it been easier or cheaper to travel. And rarely, if ever, have the world’s prosperous nations been so unconcerned about the erosion of their borders.
World Gravy Wrestling Championships returns after two-year break

A host of wrestlers took part in the 12th annual World Gravy Wrestling Championships at the Rose ‘N’ Bowl Pub in Rossendale, Lancashire, on Monday.
The event sees competitors grapple in a pool of gravy in two-minute bouts.
DOOM Foretold! Climate change will cost Canada $139 billion due to flooding, drought and other disasters, report finds
Between droughts, flooding and rainstorms, Canada’s changing climate could lead to a significant decrease in the country’s GDP over the next generation, according to a report from engineering firm GHD.
The impact of water-related risks in Canada could mean a cumulative loss of $139 billion through 2050, or 0.2 per cent of economic activity in that period, the report says. Titled “Aquanomics,” the report examines the impact of future water risks across seven countries, including Canada, the U.K., the U.S., Australia, China, the Philippines and the U.A.E.
Seems the authors of this piece may have a monetary interest in “remediation.” Has even one of the climate cult’s prophecies come to be?

More than 40% of Americans think civil war likely within a decade
More than two-fifths of Americans believe civil war is at least somewhat likely in the next 10 years, according to a new survey – a figure that increases to more than half among self-identified “strong Republicans”.
Amid heated rhetoric from supporters of Donald Trump, the findings, in research by YouGov and the Economist, follow similar results in other polls.
On Sunday night, the South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham predicted “riots in the streets” if Trump is indicted over his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House, materials recovered by the FBI at Trump’s home this month.
Wind turbine toppled by too much wind
A wind turbine nearly double the height of Nelson’s Column was toppled by too much wind after 50mph gusts caused it to “overspeed”, an investigation has found.
The 300ft structure crashed to the ground with its blades completely snapped at the £20 million Pant y Wal wind farm in Gilfach Goch, near Bridgend.

DND postpones change of command as military police probe comments at airbase event
Canada’s air force has postponed the installation of a new commander at one of the country’s two main fighter jet bases after military police launched an investigation earlier this summer into alleged inappropriate remarks at an informal gathering.
The Department of National Defence is staying tight-lipped about the specifics of the incident. It’s alleged to have taken place at the 4 Wing airbase in Cold Lake, Alta., on June 23, 2022, in the course of something called a call-sign review board — an event during which call-signs, or nicknames, are assigned to pilots and aircrew weapons controllers.
Feds to conduct ‘extensive review’ of anti-racism racism funding after Laith Marouf scandal
The Minister of Diversity and Inclusion is taking extra steps to make sure that the anti-racism strategy funded by the federal government does not, in fact, contribute to more racism.
… Hussen’s department is now going to conduct an “extensive review” of the funding that is being distributed through the anti-racism strategy to ensure that no additional funds are redirected to organizations or individuals who promote hateful content.
What a croc. Marouf was hired because he is a racist.
Enbridge Line 5: Canada invokes 1977 treaty again over dispute
The Canadian government is invoking for the second time in less than a year a 1977 treaty that will force the American government to negotiate over the fate of Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly announced the invocation of the treaty in a statement on Monday, pointing to the “significant” impact shutting down the pipeline would carry for Canadian jobs and bills.
US will need to build 478 EV charging ports EVERY DAY for the next eight years at a cost of $35B to meet demand for 1.2M public ports by 2030 (And that’s not counting the 28M needed in homes!)
America would have to install 30 million electronic vehicle charging ports by 2030 if half of drivers switch to EVs by the time California’s ban on gas cars takes effect.
If half of all vehicles sold are zero-emission by 2030, the country would need 1.2 million public chargers and 28 million private chargers by that year – which a McKinsey report claims would cost more than $35 billion over eight years.
Electric vehicle sales have been climbing by double digits each year since 2016, but over half of US consumers cite battery or charging issues as their main concerns – and it’s fair to say the limited network of public charging stations is a roadblock for many buyers.
And how many reactors will need to be built because Wind & Solar will provide squat.
Public safety minister considering security options for politicians after Freeland harassment
OTTAWA – Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the federal government is looking at its options when it comes to increasing security for politicians, adding the harassment many face represents a threat to democracy. He says that as the security situation becomes “more and more complex,” there’s a need to “bring the temperature down.”
This comes following a video posted online this weekend of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland being harassed in Alberta. The video shows a man yelling profanities at the minister in the lobby of Grande Prairie, Alta.’s city hall, before she and her staff enter the elevator.
