Buying Canadian without knowing it
When my skin started doing weird things this summer I went to the doctor several times, got two different diagnoses and a variety of different pills and creams. Eventually I decided that it fits the description of eczema, and the usual recommendations for eczema seem to handle it better than the special prescriptions. Controlling stress…

Mass does the right thing!
Via Bloomberg: The Carney Solution (which I’ve been recommending for a long time) is catching on! Massachusetts has decided to stop screeching about “democracy” and start SUPPORTING ITS OWN PEOPLE. It will raise taxes, including a millionaire tax, and use the money to compensate for federal research cuts. It will also CROWDFUND the research, which…

Canada does it FIRST.
I’ve been darkly watching China, Russia, and India zoom ahead with nuclear while the WEFtern “countries” deprive ourselves of clean power. We bomb our hydro dams and turn off our nukes. We started to plan small reactors in 1954 under the Rural Electrification Admin, created by Henry Wallace. Then we dropped all reactors and clean…

Carney keeps doing the right thing
Carney has proposed a major reform to criminal law. First, the law would make it harder for crime-loving “prosecutors” to release criminals on recognizance. The new law would switch the default preference from release to hold. A prosecutor would have to show specific proof that the criminal wouldn’t be a danger. If the US had…

Carney is the master.
Carney understands, better than anyone else in the world, how to deal with psychopaths. He’s not alone; even the Canadian journalists at CBC appear to grasp the problem and the solution. Our politicians and journalists continue to score a solid ZERO on this test. They can’t pull their brainless heads out of their own asses,…

Canada should learn from Canada
This new video tells about Canada’s profitable importing of Ladas in the ’80s. At that time USA was, as always, invading and blockading Russia for no reason except our own monstrous drive to destroy everything good and decent. Canada took advantage of the situation, selling huge amounts of wheat and petroleum to Russia, and importing…

New measuring standard
Since 2008 I’ve been vainly preaching the FDR gospel. If a ruler wants to improve his country, he doesn’t need to invent any new methods. Just copy FDR. Roosevelt faced ALL the same problems we have today, with different names and numbers. He didn’t get it right the first time, but he kept tirelessly experimenting,…

Trump is a normal US president.
Canadians are working together to develop a newly designed nation. They’re doing it both officially and personally. It’s a fine thing to watch. MANY countries have been forced to develop their own best skills when we blockaded them. We pulled the same nasty trick on Cuba in 1960, Persia in 1980, and Russia in 2000.…

Shouldn’t be impressive
This is impressive! In a sane world it wouldn’t be impressive; it would be the expected default attitude of a state or provincial governor. We aren’t in a sane world. The premier of New Brunswick says clearly and firmly that her purpose, and the purpose of the province, is to build and strengthen Canada. The…

Big things don’t hit the news.
Reading some railroad-related items on Quora. Three years ago, a Canadian insider mentioned that Canadian Pacific was about ready to buy Kansas City Southern, forming the first complete north-south railroad across all of the continent. Sure enough, the merger was completed in 2023 and fully running this year. This is BIG news for both countries…

United Cheapskates
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2023 REPRINT: All US automakers of any size had a Canadian division at one time or another. We branched in other countries less regularly. Our Canadian products were different in two ways from our US cars. (1) More variety. (2) More practical and…

Smart idea
CBC interviewed a Canadian businessman with a sharp idea. Canada should have its own car company. It would help to give the nation a commercial purpose, a source of pride. There’s no technical or physical reason why not. Canadian car factories are still as active as ever, and Canada has steel producers and most other…

The answer, three ways
The Canadians and the new pope have figured out how to deal with a psychopath. The idiot US Dems and “journalists” aren’t even close to thinking about the right solution. They’re stuck on screeching and suing and insulting the customers, which will only make things worse. Henry Ford and FDR had the right answer to…

We need a Carney
Carney is trying to rebuild Canada’s PHYSICAL industries including petroleum and mining. We haven’t even thought about changing our ways. Here’s a list of 28 “breakout” startup firms, all growing fast and hiring. NOT ONE is physical or even derived from physical. Nobody is developing a new Cellophane Tape or Facial Tissue or Bun Sandwich,…

What’s the important difference?
Along with the grounding power of tradition, there must be a simpler and more practical reason why Canada was able to learn from Trump’s attack, while the US Democrats have been allegedly opposing Trump since 2015 while ACTUALLY campaigning for him. Constants and variables: Trudeau’s sudden shift toward doing the right thing after many years…
