Canada will become newsless​

Jul 6 2023
Vaclav Vincalek

The big news? The Canadian government has passed into law Bill C-18, also known as the Online News Act.

In the words of the government: ‘This enactment regulates digital news intermediaries to enhance fairness in the Canadian digital news marketplace and contribute to its sustainability. It establishes a framework through which digital news intermediary operators and news businesses may enter into agreements respecting news content that is made available by digital news intermediaries. The framework takes into account principles of freedom of expression and journalistic independence.

Even though the bill covers generic ‘digital news intermediaries’, it is specifically targeted at Google and Facebook. (It only shows you how irrelevant Twitter and Bing are.)

Both Google and Facebook have threatened that they will remove any trace of Canadian news from their respective websites and adjacent products.

Both companies made the same threats in Spain and Australia. In Spain the local publishers disappeared for 7 years. In Australia, the deals were struck faster.

When this discussion happened in Australia, yours truly wrote this: ‘Governments are after you. They like nothing more than to show how good they are at punishing bad actors (with the exception of themselves). It helps politicians win re-election. As much money as you have, you are vulnerable. Australia will be a test case — and the first of many.’ and ‘Create transparency with your algorithms and pay your share to authors who helped you to make your billions.

And for the record, Google submitted its brief to the Standing Committee when the bill was discussed, where it explicitly stated ‘we support the concept of a fund model … A fund could follow established and known models like that of the Canadian Media Fund … in accordance with predictable and transparent formula ..’. Google doesn’t have a problem with paying.

This was reported by Redacted about a month ago and now it is law. What a bunch of BS. They are obsessed with their own agenda and egotistic self importance without allowing any one of us to make up our own mind! The more he tightens the noose, they more he will loose. That is coming..... We will become extremely ignorant of what is going on.

Their next stage is even more dangerous: it is basically an attack on free speech.
 
And now they also want to "investigate" the adverse "side effects" on natural supplements or remedies. Good grief!
We all know where this is leading. They are sponsoring access to cannabis and other type of drugs (let's not forget fentanyl is a real problem in our streets but hey what are they doing about that?) but now even our vitamins will be under the radar!

 
Another interesting development - Canadian Muslims are organizing a "million man march" in Canada, including all religious persuasions to join them, to tell Trudie to keep his hands off of their kids. There was a segment on redacted last night with David Krayden, an investigative journalist. I couldn't find the individual segment in the show, but it starts at 1:53 at this link.


Krayden says that the gentleman organizing has a whole network. He was skeptical at first, but thinks it will happen as planned.
 
now even our vitamins will be under the radar!
They've been beating at this slowly but surely under the UN/WHO's Codex Alimentarius for decades now. I remember quite a period of alarmism about it and wave of concerned articles/podcasts, etc, maybe ten to fifteen years ago, fearing, at that time, that much stricter control over supplements was just around the corner. They move slowly but these control initiatives never seem to go away. The video suggests that this is still on its way.


One such article from fifteen years ago:
 
Regarding the plans for restricting supplements, Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson did an interview with Shawn Buckley (the lead lawyer in the National Citizens Inquiry) and he shares a wealth of practical knowledge. He has many years of experience in working in this area of the law. The interview starts 3 minutes in. The second portion is with Karen Kingston.

 
One may recall Dr. Reiner Fuellmich's round table from the covid thread that seemed to have gone sideways - with him. Here he is in interview with Peter Mac Isaac, an ex Candian game warden who was also a wildfire forensic expert - he has been an IC (Incident Commander) on, he says, 100 wildfires.

In this episode of ICIC, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich talks with Peter Mac Isaac, former provincial game warden in Canada about the current situation there, particularly with regard to the devastating forest fires from which humans, animals and nature are still suffering. This series of wildfires began suddenly in the spring and the causes are being blamed on the narrative of man-made climate change. Peter Mac Isaac is not afraid to openly express his personal opinion on this and has already had to suffer reprisals from the Canadian government, which has censored his expressions of opinion in every way. This dictatorial approach of the government under Justin Trudeau to suppress freedom of expression is reminiscent of the harsh persecution of the "Truckers for Freedom" movement in the so-called "Corona Pandemic", when many courageous people rebelled against the incipient totalitarianism in Canada and received broad popular support.

As an expert in the field of nature and forest protection, Mac Isaac denounces the government's fatal handling of the forest fires. Why were no experts called into action and why were they even discouraged from assisting on the ground? In his opinion, one of the simplest terrorist methods is to frighten people with fires so that they will accept without protest any measures that the government orders, such as a "climate lockdown". It was modeled on the "Corona pandemic" with its inhumane measures, after which new sociopolitical and social control mechanisms could be installed. Through his reporting on the situation in Canada at that time and through the comparison with almost all other countries in the world, it becomes quite clear that everything that happened then and is currently happening are meticulously planned and orchestrated actions carried out by a certain group, namely "Mr. Global" and the correspondingly corrupt and unscrupulous henchmen.

He points out the importance of not being intimidated by this small group, of standing up and speaking the truth out loudly. It only takes 3% of the people on the planet to initiate a momentum of change, the other 97% who suffer from fear and cognitive dissonance will then join and also find the courage if they have role models. Because if we do not change anything today, this task will become more and more difficult for our children and our children's children. We must not remain inactive, the time to stand up is now!
 
Wasn't sure where to post this as it is Canadian B.C. specific, and the thread title does mention resources?
Perhaps of interest to BC folk is a gluten-free restaurant in Coquitlam, which tasty guaranteed gluten free food on many menu items (the Chef is celiac) called The Golden Parrot at 170 Golden Drive. I ate there recently and it was quite good and affordable.
A resource pointed out to me is the"Find me gluten free" for restaurants in your local area.

Just transcribed this part to set the scene. I liked the trees and poundage numbers which made it less nebulous for me even if they are estimates, I'm sure.

@4:29- 7:37

"Actually, ... fires in Canada have been on a steady decline since the late 80's. The size of the fires are increasing but the amount of fires has been steadily decreasing and what ended up happening is, with the amount of fires, for example, we had the largest fire in the history of our province of Nova Scotia. ... The final measurements were 236 square kilometres, which is a large fire for the province of Nova Scotia.

What happened is, it was a cascading series of bad management, lack of meritocracy, bad politics and poor decision making. It's definitively not, it's not a function of global warming and climate change. So what happens is, here in Canada- let me put it in perspective. We have a Prime minister in office who is basically structured his career with being elected around fighting the spectre of, what he refers to as, cataclysmic climate change.

So, for your readers, I just want to bring up a couple of stats. Canada has 300- by government stats- has 318 billion trees. Government statistics tell us that each tree can absorb 48 pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere on an annual basis. That's over 15 trillion pounds of CO2 get pulled out of the atmosphere by the trees in Canada every year. Everything that happens in Canada, all of the people, all of the industry, only create 1.34 trillion pounds of CO2, which means we only need 9% of the trees that we have to completely turn us into a carbon sink. And right now our economy is being devastated by a carbon tax. And the province that I'm living in here, our price of fuel just went up another, I think it was 15 cents a litre, and they tacked on another 5 cents. And as a result of that, Canada just upped our interest rates again, and everyone who is up for remortgage is being, basically, wiped out across Canada. It's cataclysmic as to what's happening in our real estate market.

So what happened is, is the government has hung it's hat on climate change in order to stay in power. So the series of forest fires, that happened across Canada, are a direct result of failures in forestry policy, reduction of money spent in fighting forest fires, layoffs, and basically winding down our capacity to fight fires at a time when the government claims that we have all these problems that we're gonna have with future forest fires. And it's almost as if they've created a perfect storm of opportunity to allow fires to burn and burn larger then they used to, and then use that to drive the climate change narrative to justify all of the restraints they're putting on society here in Canada."
 
Just transcribed this part to set the scene. I liked the trees and poundage numbers which made it less nebulous for me even if they are estimates, I'm sure.

Yes, if one wants to follow their carbon logic, which is no logic at all, the numbers speak back to them.

His statement "...cascading series of bad management, lack of meritocracy, bad politics and poor decision making" in fires (seen through the eyes of an IC, which he was), can sometimes be seen. BC has had problems with fires being managed out of Victoria rather than those in the field, who often need permissions. One might imagine that decision making from afar can lead to trouble, field decisions can become overridden - hence his statement.

Further along he brings up some Nova Scotia examples.

As for Fuellmich, I'm not sure of some of his questions to Isaac, and even the responses need further considering, however there are big problems that Issac highlights, and after these last few weeks in BC at least (then there is Maui), it will be interesting to see what the government will do. They have already done, just now, this - Province Wide:


Suppose, there are some reasons to warrant a response, especially in some regions as pointed out, however most firefighting teams camp - they are in big camps.

Being province wide is also a bit of a reach.

Jordan Petersen's video posted here mentioned a poll saying Justin Trudeau is now the worst Prime Minister of Canada. It's this one released on July 21, 2023.

Pierre Best, Justin Worst as Canadians Rank Recent Prime Ministers​


For almost half of Canadians, Jack Layton would have been a “very good” or “good” head of the federal government.

Vancouver, BC [July 21, 2023] – Pierre Trudeau keeps a sight lead over Stephen Harper as Canadians ponder the best prime ministers of the past 55 years, a new Research Co. poll has found.

In the online survey of a representative national sample, 20% of Canadians (+1 since a similar Research Co. poll conducted in June 2022) think Pierre Trudeau has been the best head of government since 1968.

Harper is a close second with 17% (unchanged), followed by Jean Chrétien (11%, +2), Justin Trudeau (also 11%, -1), Brian Mulroney (8%, =), Paul Martin (3%, =), Joe Clark (2%, =), John Turner (1%, -1) and Kim Campbell (also 1%, =).

“More than a third of Albertans (36%) believe Stephen Harper has been Canada’s best recent prime minister,” says Mario Canseco, President of Research Co. “Pierre Trudeau fares best in British Columbia (27%), Ontario (23%) and Atlantic Canada (22%).”

When asked about the worst recent prime minister, three-in-ten Canadians (30%, +1) choose Justin Trudeau. Harper is second with 18% (+1), followed by Campbell (7%, +1), Mulroney (6%, +1), Pierre Trudeau (5%, -1), Chrétien (3%, -2), Clark (3%, =), Martin (2%, =) and Turner (1%, -1).

About a third of Atlantic Canadians (32%) think Harper has been the worst recent head of government in Canada. Justin Trudeau’s negative rating reaches 45% in Alberta, 36% in British Columbia and 36% in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The survey also asked questions about 10 different politicians who served as leaders of the Official Opposition in Ottawa over the past five decades.

Just under half of Canadians (48%, -4) believe Jack Layton would have made a “very good” or “good” prime minister, including 61% of Canadians aged 55 and over.

Five former leaders of the opposition are regarded positively on this question by more than one-in-five Canadians: Preston Manning (28%, -1), Robert Stanfield (27%, -3), Tom Mulcair (also 27 %, -2), Andrew Scheer (22%, -1) and Erin O’Toole (also 22%, -1).

The rating is lower for Michael Ignatieff (19%, +1), Stockwell Day (also 19%, -1), Rona Ambrose (18%, -4) and Stéphane Dion (also 18%, =).

Methodology: Results are based on an online study conducted on July 4 and July 5, 2023, among 1,000 adults in Canada. The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age, gender and region. The margin of error—which measures sample variability—is +/- 3.1 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty.

July 8, 2022
In the online survey of a representative national sample, 29% of Canadians think Justin Trudeau has been Canada’s worst prime minister since 1968, up seven points since a similar Research Co. survey conducted in July 2021.

July 23, 2021
When asked who the country’s worst head of government since 1968 has been, 22% of Canadians select Justin Trudeau (+4), while 21% pick Harper (-2).

July 24, 2020
When asked who the worst prime minister since 1968 has been, 23% of Canadians pick Harper, followed by Justin Trudeau with 18% and Pierre Trudeau with 7%.
 
Primary for BC folks, as a wildfire backdrop (there is political point at the end coming on not quite the heels of wildfire season), saw a higher than average wildfire season through the ages, although 1989, 2003 even 2021 were tough, with some higher - back to the turn of the century, and many lower. Much historically can be seen written in the landscape as evidence from stereographic air photos of terrain (different fire return cycles). Unfortunately, in areas with high historical fire return intervals (species, drought, fuel) some years can be devastating, especially with communities now well interfaced within forests (and this has bearing on what happens when things blow up and resources are spread thin). The question is, what does the cycle look like and what does the available fuel look like as a predictive measure.

Here is a map of landscape level disturbances in BC, and one can easily see (by following the news) where fires have been this year against the backdrop of historical disturbances. In this case, Red (rare) represents moist coastal areas areas or mountainous terrain with snowpacks and older species et cetera.

Seems pretty accurate to me.

Looking at NDT3 (the paper is wrapped up in new old growth inventory numbers and not worth commenting on here), sees the most common and highly representative of this years (and past years) wildfires, with some biogeoclimatic zone exceptions due to drought, lightning and wind:

NDT3 is associated with ecosystems that experience frequent and large-scale stand-replacing disturbance. Fires, one of the most common disturbance agents, can reach well over 100,000 ha in size, creating very large patches of even-aged forest with islands of unburnt trees. This NDT covers the greatest area in the province and represents the majority of the interior of BC and the boreal forest. Key attributes of these forests are (see Appendix B for more detail): Tree ages: 0 to >250 years old (even-aged stands) Disturbance interval: 100 to 150 years Old seral defined as >140 years old (>100 years for deciduous stands) Historically natural amounts of old forest from 25% to over 39% based on localized disturbance return intervals Examples of NDT3 forests: northern boreal forests (Ft St John), spruce/pine forests (Prince George,Chilcotin Plateau), and southern Douglas fir/pine forests (Merritt, Kelowna, Cranbrook).

Looking at photos of BC, near anywhere, produces forest stand multilayers (think of the islands discussed above) when fire cycles through. Here is a typical historical non arial photo example (this from Jasper, Alberta) of forest and fuel differentials - a pretty interesting one and it is the same all the way from Jasper north and south to the U.S.:

1693198942767.png

What you see is sparse forest and later thick forest. Even on the mountains in the background it is similar, i.e., the risk of fire in 1915 is not the same in Jasper as it is today, and add many other places into the same time frame. The photo caption looks to fire suppression, and it is a factor.

Okay, the point of all this was an article from GlobalNews where coincidentally or not, the C02 robots converged on Vancouver to talk about fires, and of course climate change of the AGW taxation and control kind:


snip:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the assembly ahead of its close Friday, saying Canada is experiencing its worst-ever wildfire season and “climate change is key to the story.”

“No one country, no one people can pretend anymore that what happens or doesn’t happen on the other side of the world doesn’t matter to them,” Trudeau said. “And not just ‘doesn’t matter’ even in an abstract way, but ‘doesn’t matter’ in a concrete, affect-your-daily-lives way.”

Justin is bad enough, and then the Minister Guilbeault weighs in, so one can see where this is going:

Canada’s minister of environment and climate change, Steven Guilbeault, likewise said the wildfires that have forced tens of thousands of people from their homes serve as an “unwanted reminder of the need to act together with urgency.”

The minister made the remarks Wednesday as he opened a meeting with several dozen of his counterparts from around the world in Squamish, B.C., to discuss progress, challenges and opportunities in implementing the global biodiversity framework struck at the United Nations meeting in Montréal last December.

“The climate change we’re seeing is with 1 degree Celsius,” he said, referring to the level or warming that’s already occurred since the Industrial Revolution.

“I don’t want to see a world where we get to 2 degrees Celsius, what the impacts will be in Canada and around the world,” Guilbeault said in an interview.

Therefore, we need to continue, and even accelerate,” he said.

Here is the Great 1919 Fire of LAC LA BICHE, Saskatchewan, that took out near 5 million acres:

Low snowfall in the winter of 1919 gave way to an early spring drought that dried out grass and timber. Then, in May, the village experienced hot, dry winds that desiccated the surrounding region and created a tinder-dry powder keg.

Justin does not mention.

With the hard freeze of 2022 where moisture did not penetrate, the above was not much different in parts of BC by spring 2023. Then drought, lighting (or human fire) and wind.

@ 0:55 - 1:08
We've drifted far enough away from the original virus that now we really do need to kinda hone-in on the current circulating viruses. And we think that this vaccine stands to offer increased protection against infection.

That's her logic? How vague can you get? The whole 1:42 minute report was just a blob.
