Government is more than Politicians, and every part is Deadly

Canada’s auditor general, Karen Hogan, has delivered her own DOGE style review of Canada’s financing.  To the surprise of no one who pays attention she has found the same level of corruption in Canada as Musk found in the US.  Hogan did not do a deep dive into all spending the way DOGE did.  She just chose a few projects to audit.  That is the main difference between Canada and the US.  In Canada the corruption is so widespread you don’t need to look hard to find it.

The most likely outcome of her findings is that Parliament will introduce new rules.  They will do this not because it will work.  Even Hogan admits that it won’t.

Hogan took the unusual step of not making any recommendations on her findings, saying the problem isn’t a lack of rules but the federal bureaucracy ignoring them.

Parliament will introduce new rules to appear to be doing something about corruption without actually doing anything about corruption.  Politicians have no more incentive to curtail corruption than the bureaucrats since they both profit from it.

That is the central point of this sad tale.  The government is not just politicians.  Government is a criminal enterprise comprised of politicians and bureaucrats, and the bureaucrats outnumber the politicians 1000 to 1.

Term limits for politicians will not solve this problem because bureaucracy is the problem more often than Politicians.  If Canada and the US want to get serious about eliminating corruption they must have term limits for any association with government.  Once you have been in politics or been employed by the government for 10 years you are done.

This should be cumulative.  There should be no jumping from politics to employment or from one government to another.  If you are the mayor of a small town for 10 years you are not done.  You can’t jump to federal politics or take a consulting job with another government.  Similarly, if you were a city manager for 10 years you can’t run for city council or manage another city.  It is back to the real world where you must deal with any problems you caused while in government.

The permanent bureaucracy, or the deep state if you prefer, is a much large problem than politicians.  Many times, the most stupid things politicians do are a result of being played by the deep state.  During COVID Trump got played by the deep state.  His gut reaction was to avoid lockdowns and search for treatment options but that did not align with Fauci’s vaccine objectives.  Fauci used the control he solidified over 50 years to attack Trump from all sides.  His control of the health bureaucracy allowed him to control the narrative.  Trump got information from multiple sources that were really the same single source.

Yesterday, the US bombed Iran.  I must wonder.  Did Trump get played again?  Iran has been weeks away from a nuclear weapon for decades.  2 weeks to flatten the curve dragged on for years.  2 weeks to flatten the nukes has outlasted even that.  Did the deep state just drag Trump into another war?  I don’t know.  What I do know is that I will not trust anything from government until we shatter the power of the permanent bureaucracy.

Regulated Corruption

A few days ago, I discussed how even an idiot like Doug Ford knows that government is the problem.  Government over regulation makes projects in Canada unattractive to investors.  Ford’s solution was to create economic development zones.  Basically, areas set aside where government is not allowed to intrude.  This week Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, one upped Ford by making the entire country an economic development zone, with one catch. Carney gets to decide when the rules do and do not apply.

Bill C5 allows the federal government to suspend the rules for projects deemed to be in the national interest.

Regulations — enactment

22 The Governor in Council may, on the recommendation of the minister responsible for an enactment, make regulations

  • (a) exempting one or more national interest projects from the application of any provision of that enactment or any provision of regulations made under that enactment; and
  • (b) varying the application of any provision referred to in paragraph (a) in relation to one or more national interest projects.

Regulations — this Act

23 The Governor in Council may make regulations

  • (a) exempting one or more national interest projects from the application of any provision of this Act;

  • (b) varying the application of any provision of this Act in relation to one or more national interest projects; and

  • (c) generally for carrying out the purposes and provisions of this Act.

The stated intention is to enable development, but is it really?  If the root cause of our economics malaise is over regulation, why wouldn’t you just reduce regulations on everything?  Why carve out areas or specific projects where the regulations do not apply?  Do the insane and useless regulations only harm some areas or project but not others?

When I put these questions to my wife her answer was immediate.  Ford and Carney want to keep the regulations in place to block projects, companies, or people that they do not like.  These regulations are not about economic development they are about control.  Canada has now adopted NAZIS style socialism.  The government decides which companies are allowed to operate and what they are allowed to do.

It has taken decades of apathy by Canadian voters to allow this to happen.  We allowed successive governments to regulate our economy out of existence.  Now the only solution offered is to allow our dear leaders to bypass the rules as they see fit.  We went from over regulation to regulation by decree.  The rules may or may not apply.  The opportunities for corruption are now endless.

I would say I weep for Canada, but I am done with Canada.  I no longer care what happens to the rest of Canada.  My only concern is independence for my province.

Causes and Root Causes

Canada’s top COVID vaccine advocate is retiring.  Doctor Theresa Tam, a man who thinks he is a woman, left this parting message for Canadians before likely returning to communist China.

“(But) I want to leave a hopeful message, which is: ‘We’ve done it before and we can do it again,”’ she said of stopping transmission of the virus within Canada.

But a big part of achieving that is combating disinformation and misinformation and building trust in vaccines and the research behind them.

I really can’t think of a better way to encapsulate what is wrong with Canada than those 2 statements.   A mentally ill man is hopeful that Canada can take part in another fake Pandemic but acknowledges that won’t happen unless the government gets better at eliminating Canadians ability to find the truth.  Canada truly is screwed.

Dr. Tam facilitated mass murder.  Tam was not the actual murderer though.  The real murderers were the provincial premiers who mandated the vaccine.  Half of Canada’s current Premiers actively took part in murder.  That means ½ have already been replaced yet not a single investigation has started.  Even in Alberta, the one jurisdiction that dumped their Premier (Kenney) specifically because of his COVID policies, there is still no investigation.

Kenney’s replacement, Danielle Smith, knows what happened.  She was quite vocally against the mandates as a private citizen but now as the Premier she has chosen to quietly discourage vaccination while letting the murderer continue to escape justice.

Albertans who are not immunocompromised or dependent on social programs will have to pay out-of-pocket for the COVID-19 vaccine this fall.

I guess this is a baby step forward.  Albertans that want to self-harm must now pay for it themselves.  That is a bold move in a country where the medical flow chart usually ends at assisted suicide.  But, this fall well short of what the country needs.

Canada needs a politician to finally step forward and admit the vaccines are harmful but I understand why they won’t.  People still believe the narrative.  There are still people who will not believe the Vaccines caused any harm.  This is largely because no one will be honest about how many people have died from the vaccine.  Even today papers studying excess deaths blame deaths on anything but the vaccines.  This recent paper from Germany blames excess deaths on influenza.

In 2022, however, a significant excess mortality was observed, which could not be attributed to SARS-CoV-2 but to a short, intense wave of influenza in the last 6 weeks at the end of that year, which had also led to a significant increase in mortality throughout Germany. This influenza wave was associated with an excess mortality rate in Frankfurt am Main, which was higher than in any wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Frankfurt am Main. The number of excess deaths during that influenza waves was larger than the excess deaths during all SARS-CoV-2 waves altogether.

Why is no one curious about what caused the short intense wave of influenzas?  If your population was healthy would this have happened?  Maybe, or maybe something happened to weaken immune systems.  Many countries like Germany did not have excess deaths until they started vaccinating.  Why then, is vaccination never considered as a possible cause?

Anyone who finds it difficult to accept that a COVID vaccine might result in an influenzas death should consider this.  People do not die from AIDs.  AIDS destroys the immune system and then the person dies from cancer or some secondary infection. Yet, the cause of death is still seen to be AIDS.

Our governments conducted the largest experiment in history.  They force injected almost the entire world.  Now more people than normal are dying.  The causes are always different but I guarantee you the root cause is always the same.  There is nothing more deadly than blind trust in government.

Immigrants are pawns in a destructive agenda

This week Los Angeles witnessed a lively and vibrant display of multiculturalism.  A Group of proudly un-American people gathered to demonstrate just how lovely diversity can be.  The celebration was so energetic that Donald Trump sent the National Guard and Marines to take part.  That part angered California governor Gavin Newsom.  He does not believe diversity should include people who don’t want to torch cars and loot shops.

This will come as a great shock to indoctrinated liberals but diversity is not strength.  The data has never supported the idiotic statement that diversity is strength.  Uniform societies on the whole tend to be easier to govern and have lower crime rates.  20 years ago Europeans felt superior to the US because of the high crime rates in the US.  As a result of its history, the US at the time was far more diverse than any European country.  The very homogenous European countries had very low crime rates.  Fast forward 2 decades and those countries are no longer homogenous.  They are no longer safe either.

While diversity will always lead to crime and unrest lack of diversity does not guarantee order or safety.  The truth is not all cultures are equal.  No one wants to say this because it is deemed racist but culture is not race.  The Indian Sub-continent has genetic uniformity but does not have cultural uniformity.  The rape grooming gangs in England were predominantly men from Pakistan.  They are the same race as Indians who live in England yet it was not Indians at the center of the crime.

This is not the only example of how different cultures view crime differently.  What is a crime in one culture is just an accepted practice in another.  I remember reading a while ago (sorry I did not save the source) that Afghan men in Sweden accounted for 50% of all rapes even though they were only 2% of the population.  Why would you allow immigration from Afghanistan when their culture sees rape as permissible?  But these topics are taboo.  There is only one world leader willing to admit that countries and cultures need to be treated differently.

“I have determined to fully restrict and limit the entry of nationals of the following 12 countries:  Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen,” the president wrote in the order.

Trump gets branded as a racist because theses are black and brown countries.  I have a news flash for all the progressives that cry racism.  Whites are a minority on earth.  Almost every country on earth is either black or brown and most of them are not on Trump’s list.  Trumps ban is obviously about culture and not about race.  Not all cultures are equal or compatible.

Any idiot can tell you that diversity is not a good thing.  So why did we do it?  Well the short answer is that our politicians are idiots.  The Baby boom caused a demographic problem.  The population was aging and politicians were finding it difficult to pay for their bloated lifestyles as boomers started to retire.  Their solution was to throw open the borders to increase the tax base.  The problem with their childish solution is that just as not all cultures are equal, not all workers are equal either.  High skill workers drive economies and pay high taxes.  Low skill workers drag an economy down.

Similarly, the OECD warns that Canada has been packing millions of new workers into its labour force without any comparable increase in “productivity-enhancing investment.” With the economy thus remaining relatively stagnant, Canada’s workers are receiving an increasingly small share of the overall economic pie.

On top of this, the report notes that while Canada used to prioritize high-skilled immigrants such as doctors and engineers, its migration flows are now mostly comprised of low-skilled workers.

 “The skill composition of recent immigration, which included many students and temporary workers, has also likely reduced average labour productivity,” it reads.

 

To be blunt, this means the country added 1 job for every 4 workers in the month—a dangerously imbalanced ratio. In recent months, unemployment had been rising briskly but the country was just adding workers faster than it could create jobs

Canada is attempting to use immigration to boost its economy the way cheap credit is often used. By fueling excess demand, increased consumption creates economic activity and employment. However, just like cheap credit, it becomes counterproductive and inflationary for consumption.

Importing low skill workers from incompatible cultures will result in cultural and economic problems.  The average person gets this but politicians largely do not.  There are very few politicians in western countries other than Trump who have even spoken out.  In Canada we don’t have a single elected representative, which I am aware of, who has had the balls to call out our insane immigration policies.  Maxime Bernier has spoken out but he has not held elected office since forming his own party.  The only prominent politician speaking about this is Pierre Poilievre but he did not breathe a word about it in the most recent election.  Now that he has lost his seat in parliament he has suddenly grown balls and is willing to talk about the most important issue in the country.

“We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the Liberals did to our system,” Poilievre said during a press conference Tuesday in the foyer of the House of Commons.

“The population has been growing out of control, our border has been left wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs, illegal migration, human trafficking and much worse.”

Poilievre let the whole election be about Donald Trump even though he apparently knew all along our biggest problem was immigration.  He did not have the courage to say it and now Canada faces 4 more years of destructive immigration problems and vibrant diversity.  The situation is much the same in Europe where people are no longer willing to wait for politicians to act.

European voters are increasingly frustrated at establishment parties ignoring their demands for tougher migration controls. In the Netherlands over the weekend, a group of citizens gathered near the border with Germany near Ter Apel to stop cars and conduct asylum seeker checks themselves.

Low wage and illegal immigration is the easiest problem in the world to stop. You do not need to let just anyone in.  This problem started because politicians are stupid.  On the whole government is stupid.  But, as I have said many times, even though governments have more than their fair share of idiots not everyone is and idiot.  I am certain that given the size of bloated modern governments there are literally thousands of bureaucrats that know this is not working.  The fact that we have not stopped it tells you the deep state wants it to continue.

Losing control of your borders and then expecting impoverished communities to pick up the slack. Imposing mass migration on a public that never asked for it. A multicultural state that sacralises difference over unity, and segregation over integration. A political and media class that has covered up horrific crimes committed by members of certain minority groups, for fear of how those supposedly bigoted whites will react. If you wanted to stir up ethnic conflict, if you wanted to burnish the hateful agendas of the hard right, you’d struggle to find a better playbook than this.

That is the problem.  This might have started as stupidity but we are way past being able to use stupidity as an excuse.  We never had any reason to believe this would have worked.  Now we have an abundance of crime and economic indicators confirming that it is not working.  So why do we persist?  Sadly just as with the COVID polices, there is not benign explanation for our immigration policies.  This is not stupidity or an accident.  It is all by design.  The people behind this are intentionally destroying western counties.

What makes adults less intelligent than children?

In elementary school we learn about photosynthesis.  Every child learns that plants take CO2 and sunlight to grow.  This is a good thing because if plants do not grow by taking the Carbon from CO2 and returning oxygen to the atmosphere, then all life on the planet dies.  We do not live without plants and plants do not live without CO2.  From a plant’s perspective the more CO2 the better.

This is the CO2 story that dare not print its tale in the mainstream media. Recent dramatic world vegetation boosts are easily tracked by satellite, and estimates of growth range around 14-20% over just 40 years. Recent scientific work has found the rate of greening has actually been increasing since the turn of the century.

Children know that the 2 most important things for life are sunlight and CO2.  Governments have somehow convinced adults to believe the exact opposite.  All that CO2 and sunlight that is greening the planet and increasing crop yields is somehow not a good thing.  According to the government we must put a stop to it by removing the CO2 and the sunlight.

Direct air capture (DAC)

Processes and approaches that remove carbon dioxide from the air come under this category and are often expensive and technologically difficult to scale. These technologies extract carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere so that it can be permanently stored or used for other applications.

Many countries and regions are advancing DAC technologies, including the US – which announced new funding in 2022 under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – the EU, the UK, Japan and Canada.

 

there is a growing scientific community looking at geo-engineering, specifically SRM. (Solar Radiation Modification; blocking the sun)

Apparently, the only way to save the planet is by destroying the planet.  This really is extinction level stupidity.  What happened to make Adults believe such nonsense?  When did adults become less intelligent than children?  How could anyone believe these obvious contradictions?  Our willingness to believe absurdities is what makes it so easy for government to do terrible things.  Snap out of it.  Our government has not finished doing terrible things.  That can’t even resist repeating previous terrible things.  The media is laying the groundwork for the government to repeat their last terrible thing; COVID.

The WHO has designated NB.1.8.1 as a “variant under monitoring,” noting it may spread more easily

You remember COCID right?  Do you remember all the absurdities you accepted?

  • A mask you take from a box which says it will not protect against viruses will magically protect you from viruses.
  • You are safe in Walmart but not in a corner store.
  • Sitting at a restaurant table without a mask is safe but standing next to the same table without a mask is not safe.
  • My vaccine protects others, but I am not protected unless they take it too.

Governments will keep doing terrible things for as long as we keep swallowing their obvious bullshit.  I am tempted to say grow up but when children have a better understanding of the world than adults, I am not sure that is a good idea.

Even an Idiot knows what the problem is

Doug Ford is the Premier of the largest province in Canada.  He is also almost as unexplainable as Justin Trudeau.  Trudeau was elected 3 times while leaving a trail of economic destruction.  Ford has also won 3 elections with an even worse economic track record than Trudeau.  I cannot explain the success of either man except to say that Canadians are very stupid.  Ontario used to be second only to Alberta but under Ford, it hasn’t even kept up with the rest of the Canadian economy that Justin Trudeau was actively destroying.

If Ontario had merely matched the rest of Canada’s modest post-2000 growth rate, GDP per capita would be $77,725 today—$6,066 (or 8.5%) higher than is currently the case.

Ford or at least his handlers are aware that things are not going well so they have introduced bill 5 in an attempt to turn things around.

Among other changes, Bill 5, or the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, will create so-called special economic zones where laws, ranging from municipal approvals to environmental rules or even labour law, won’t apply.

As you might imagine this bill has received a lot of criticism and discussion.  But, in true Canadian fashion, no one is willing to state the obvious.  If the only way to stimulate the economy is to create zones where the rules don’t apply then it are the rules that are the problem.  Or if you really want to drill down to the root cause, government is the problem.

I have commented before that I cannot think of a single problem that is not caused by some combination of government incompetence and malfeasance.  Even an Idiot like Ford knows that government is the problem.  When will voters finally figure it out?

Another Deadly Coincidence

I found an interesting paper today.  The paper discussed excess deaths in the US since the start of COVID.

Between 1980 and 2023, the total number of excess US deaths reached an estimated 14.7 million.1 Although excess deaths per year peaked in 2021, there were still more than 1.5 million during 2022 to 2023. In 2023, excess death rates remained substantially higher than prepandemic rates.

I found it interesting for 2 reasons.

  1. They did a very similar analysis of the American deaths that I did 3 weeks ago with Canadian deaths.
  2. Their analysis comes up with an eerily similar number to mine.

Just as I did the study authors established a base line from years prior to 2020 then looked at how many deaths have occurred post COVID compared to the baseline.  This plot that they produced is almost identical to mine of 3 weeks ago.

Here is where it gets very interesting.  3 weeks ago I used only deaths in 2021 onward as I considered that to be the COVID Jab influenced period.  If I do that with this study and compare it to my numbers from 3 weeks ago this is what I get.

From 2021 onward the US has experienced almost the exact same kill ratio as Canada.  Just over 1 excess death for every 500 vaccinated people.  The only difference between the 2 countries is that by 2023 the US has fallen back to the baseline whereas Canada is still seeing excess deaths in 2024.  This is likely because the US started and stopped vaccinating earlier than Canada.  Canadians for some bizarre reason are still taking boosters.  At this point Canadians have taken 34% more jabs per capita than Americans.

I would hazard a guess that if you do a similar analysis for every highly vaccinated country you will find similar numbers.  The COVID jabs have killed more than 1 person for every 500 who were foolish enough to take them.  Worldwide that is 12 million deaths, or almost twice as much as the wildly inflated COVID death count.  These numbers should concern everyone.  The COVID vaccines have already killed far more people than COVID did.  The COVID vaccines will continue to kill people for as long as we continue to use them.  Please stop helping your government kill you.
