Sharia in Focus: From Saudi Realities to Western Worries

We are in a receding ice-age

Climate May Be Changing But It's Not Anthropogenic  The people Indigenous on the west coast of Canada entered the area 6,000 years ago, as the ice was receding. It is the last place settled by homo sapiens in North America after the last ice age.

Fresh off an ice age there was soon to be civilization, including slavery, wars, atrocities, and more wars, but as far as political entities were concerned, these late-comers in raising a continent can point to profound advancements in multi-national trade and relations, and multi-lingual written language (lost), and remarkable trans-generational management of resources fostered and cultivated in the temperate rainforest of these Coastal Nations.

It is the history of the Coastal Indigenous people of North America which informs about the direction the world of nature is taking with climate. It wasn't Indigenous people causing ice to recede enough to allow formation of human settlements in coastal areas starting 6,000 years ago, when vast human developments were well underway south of these areas.

How crime syndicates govern systematically

and why they get away with their crimes

Intimidation is always the primary factor in criminal governance.

MAID is a large systemic killing field in Canada. It is equaled by another large systemic killing field in Canada, drug death. Soon the two combined will equal 50,000 deaths per year. 

The drug ODs sustain a large harvest of organs for transplant. Why not profit from your crimes? I mean, isn't that what it's about? At the same time, why not eliminate needless drains on your annual budget? The MAID terminates long term medical care demands.

One victory for Canadians would be nice, even just one

 

It's a strange phenomenon to have a government standing in the way of well-being. But how strange, really? After all, people stand behind governments doing the strangest things. Take war. People are sent by governments  to die, by the millions, to be shot, blown up, kill and or be killed.

A warning to rulers

Liberals book of rules

Tamara Lich, by now famous for the strange trial over mischief in the nation's Capital, said she doesn't agree with Prime Minister Carney having the authority to join the circle of hate against Israel. 

Lich said, "No, he doesn’t. He has a minority government. An announcement of this magnitude, supposedly on behalf of Canadians, was not made after rigorous parliamentary debate or put to a vote," she wrote, on X, (@LichTamara), "Dictators behave this way."

@YoungGunsBreaks (as ever, anonymously) replies, "Yes, he does, you stupid windbag."

At this stage, I enter the fray.

Everything this Liberal Criminal Syndicate is doing falls outside the purview of Parliament. 

Defying our allies, devaluing the personal property of Canadians, annihilating the social capital of our mobility in this country, strangling our nation, this whole Liberal game is something dark, and criminal. It needs to be stopped by the people of this country.

The Liberals know the Bloc is ready to bring down the government. That's why this government by fiat is taking place. It couldn't happen in a democracy.

I dare say, the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber could not take place in a democracy.

Why would the Bloc be willing to bring down the Liberal minority?  Because the Bloc doesn't wish to be tied to the undertakings of these Liberal crime lords.

Now, Liberal pandering to terrorist organizations and terrorist sympathizers is being done, again, far outside the principles of Parliamentary democracy. 

These Liberals, they don't actually give a damn about being government. They are the rulers. 

WARNING TO RULERS: Rulers who take power under false pretense and abuse the nation they are stealing, those rulers end up in prison or dead. That's history.

CAD $683.9 billion in Canadians' personal assets disappearing overnight

 So I'll be a monkey's uncle. The Liberal Crime Syndicate just robbed Canadian residents of three-quarters of a trillion dollars in personal assets.

And nobody bats an eyelash.

$680 billion in Canadian personal assets now uninsurable, and therefore worthless

Let's ask Grok what the Liberals did to personal assets in Canada this summer. Here it is in Black and White: The Liberals trashed personal property value in the following assets: To estimate the total value, I (Grok) will assign approximate average values to each vehicle category, multiply by the estimated number of vehicles, and sum the results. All values are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Passenger Cars: Number: ~9.5 million banned Average value: CAD 25,000 Total value: 9.5 million × 25,000 = CAD 237.5 billion lost Multi-Purpose Vehicles (SUVs/Crossovers):Number: ~8.8 million banned Average value: CAD 30,000 Total value: 8.8 million × 30,000 = CAD 264 billion lost Light-Duty Pickup Trucks: Number: ~4.1 million banned Average value: CAD 35,000 Total value: 4.1 million × 35,000 = CAD 143.5 billion lost Vans: Number: ~1.7 million banned Average value: CAD 20,000 Total value: 1.7 million × 20,000 = CAD 34 billion lost Motorcycles: Number: ~0.7 million banned Average value: CAD 7,000 Total value: 0.7 million × 7,000 = CAD 4.9 billion lost

https://x.com/i/grok/share/S12rIPqmiW6dXUUAgDwzM2Ii0

Total Value: Sum: 237.5 + 264 + 143.5 + 34 + 4.9 = CAD $683.9 billion erased starting now Add the marine sector and the RV Sector and the Farm Sector and track vehicles and emergency vehicles? These personal assets are worthless (uninsurable) because gas won't be available, nor will service, or parts.

Add the RV sector, and agriculture sector, and it's affecting $1 trillion in personal assets belonging to middle class Canadians. It's as if they are being robbed of their assets.

Social capital disappearing under Canada's federal Liberal Party

Social capital is the most valuable thing there is

The destruction of social capital is the legacy of the modern Liberals. If one delves into the history of Canada's Liberals, killing social capital is in their DNA. It is something they specialize in doing.

To begin with, in Canada, the Liberals launched themselves into power by zeroing in on the Indigenous population and passing the Indian Act of 1886 under Alexander MacKenzie which stands to this day as a boot on the neck of a race. That's how they launched Liberal power upon Canada.

So, killing social capital runs deeper than the habit it appears to be. What have they done for us lately in this regard? For 30 years, on the west coast of Canada, a few powerhouse Indigenous leaders struck out in a new direction and established salmon farming. They went to the Norwegians for insight and investment. The government of B.C. stood shoulder to shoulder with the Indigenous leaders on this initiative. 

The government of Canada awarded one of the Indigenous entrepreneurs, Chief Percy Starr, the Order of Canada. Suddenly a $9 billion a year economic sector was pumping life into  coastal families in every community from Bella Bella to Victoria.

Norwegian partners with Canadians of all the communities universities, colleges, schools, built this sector into a modern production of daily food safe scientifically and agriculturally certified salmon, thriving, improving,  environmentally compliant and researched since the 1990s. The industry employs 20 percent of its work force in Indigenous Canada.

And politicians slam it shut in 2029. Not just any politicians. Liberals. An industry with investors of practically UNITED Nations cred, is destroyed by the Liberals. Is there a Liberal MP in Coastal B.C? If there is, they keep a low profile.

I know of many Sikh Canadians in Surrey, B.C.  working with salmon growers to process food-safe daily delivery of delicious Canadian fish to the world. They are losing their businesses, of course, hundreds already  lost their jobs.

That is the destruction of high value social capital with a flick of Liberal fingers. And it's  bizarre. Now they turn the crosshairs on another equally large sector of  social  capital. The skilled labor force supplying mobility to society in Canada. Slamming it shut. 

Untold $Billions of dollars gone, 100,000 to 200,000 skilled jobs in all aspects from education to CEO to apprenticeship, GONE  A total massacre of Canadian social capital. They are wiping out the automotive sector. God only knows what this disappeared gasoline will do to mariners and  boaters. Done by Liberals. DONE BY THEIR LAWS.

Canadians refuse to allow them a majority government anymore.

This party is overdue for a forensic enema and flushing from this country.

This vessel will be made obsolete in 10 years by a lack of avaiable fuel

What makes western separation so appealing?

 Mark Slapinski, who I follow on X.COM, @mark_slapinski, asks, "Just for fun: Do you think Alberta should become its own country? A - Yes  B - No"

This got me thinking, and talking:

Technically, Alberta is a sovereignty.

It has a democratic government that taxes and builds infrastructure within borders, and it has authority over police, courts, schools, roads, and it has a government with departments covering all aspects of life, including international relations.  

The idea that separation would be difficult is absurd. It would be liberating. The federal government has fallen to corruption. It's really non-essential to begin with. Think about it. British Columbia was a separate colony and thriving, as were all the separate entities, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick Quebec Ontario. Even Manitoba was forming a nation. The notion the federal government is anything but power for power's sake is idiocy perpetrated by satraps and mugwumps in Ottawa.

NEWFOUNDLAND WAS ITS OWN DOMINION (nation) UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT run by NFLD Liberals BANKRUPTED THE DOMINION.  Then they held a referendum to join another country, Canada, and a promise of Family Allowance cheques bought NFLD. Sad, because Newfoundland alone today would be one of the richest countries on earth. Instead, it's Newfoundland, Canada's hind end. That's on Liberals.

I would hardly speak for separation, except the federal government is criminal, or at the very least criminally negligent in running this country.  

 If another generation comes along and ferrets out the criminality which has infested the federal Liberal syndicate, and smashes the phony artifice pretending to politics when all they intend is to rob the taxpayer blind, I would suggest staying in Canada.

But. No. I hope the next generation will crush the criminal syndicate growing like weeds in the Liberal apparatus. The Boomers, sad to say, figured out, the best way to steal is to control the government.

Why doesn't Quebec stay in its lane?

 💞Trina LaGüerita🇨🇦🇲🇽 @LivinTheFringe said, on X.com, "No transfer payments? Thank you. We’re tired of supporting you welfare jackasses.  We’re first and foremost Albertans and the idea of not being associated with idiots who repeatedly vote for corruption, crime, drugs, inflation, wasteful spending, against free speech, net zero climate scams, and unacceptable immigration is quite appealing, actually.  We don’t need O&G subsidies, we need to work without the Government’s lead food on our necks.  Our passports will be one of the most sought-after in the world, because we’re not freedom-hating, prosperity-rejecting Liberals."

Which got me thinking, and talking:

Not to mention persecution of Western Canadians and Albertans like Tamara Lich @LichTamara  for protesting illegal shutdowns by unrepresentative government. 

The Liberal Crime Syndicate has infiltrated to the core of society. Best to leave them to their ways, and form a new country. They are beyond redemption and any association with bad people is bad association.

There is practically nothing to be said for the federal government that isn't invasive and obstructionist to western Canadian values, those of people who want to raise families in homes in stable communities.

The provinces are in charge of these matters, literally constructing and sustaining ALL the elements of civil society, from  democratically represented government, to grassroots communities sustaining first rate schools, all the way to universities, graduating doctors and lawyers, and engineers and scientists. 

The entire apparatus of a well-governed society in Alberta is grown from the grass roots.

Forming a nation in western Canada is practically the easiest thing in the world. Put up a fence at Manitoba and start charging a fee to come in.

I mean this sincerely. I take provincial elections seriously, far more seriously than federal elections involving cheating, conniving bastards who want to strip the nation of it's power.  SO fuck you. You had your shot. You missed. Western Canadians are running their own game from now on.

Here's a question that I asked Grok but which is easy to answer.  How much does Alberta spend on Healthcare for its citizens?

{ANSWER

In 2024, the Alberta government's health care operating budget was $26.2 billion, a 4.4% increase from the previous year. This includes $475 million for primary care, $4.4 billion for acute care, and $1.13 billion for mental health and addictions. Total health spending, including public and private sectors, reached $45 billion, or $9,370 per person. For 2025, Budget 2025 allocates $28 billion in operating expenses for health care, up $1.4 billion or 5.4%, with $22.1 billion aimed at improving access to quality health services and $644 million for primary care.}

I ask you, why do Alberta citizens pay $13 billion a year to Quebec. Albertans have their own bills to pay.

Why doesn't Quebec stay in its lane?

More to the point: Does Quebec really need to take $13 billion a year from Alberta's children and Seniors?

Then reply to our faces, "You cultureless Albertans stink of oil," which in fact they steal from Alberta as well. So really, and seriously, western separation is becoming imperative. Westerners are being shoved out of the country.

Canadian Leadership Debate 2025 Review

https://gem.cbc.ca/ 

Canadian political leaders Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre, Yves Blanchet, and Jagmeet Singh debate in English from the Montreal television studios of the CBC.

REVIEW (editorialized)

Yves Blanchet, BLOC Quebecois called petroleum movement in pipelines a monstrosity.

How are pipelines monstrosities?  

How about no energy in a world of 8.1 billion people. More the monstrosity is denying people energy.

There is no Canadian federal election. There is an election in Quebec for the heart and soul of Canadian federal politicians exclusive of any voters in Canada.

No one else matters but these four people debating in Quebec.

Maybe Carney is obsessed with being in the world, which is somehow detached from being in Canada. Before I shut it off, Carney began prattling about Canadian Taxpayers having to pay the burden of a world wide climate crisis.

No, to Carney.   Absolutely NO on these climate change tropes.

At one moment I had to shut off the debate because Jagmeet Singh would not allow Pierre Poilievre to speak.

It seems crazy to have people such as these running a country.

I am going to vote for the most radical amount of change from existing governance in Canada.

If that happens to be Pierre Poilievre, so be it.

It's not because he's great. It's absolutely because the choices are dreadful.

The only province mentioned outside of 'all the provinces,' is Quebec.

This is getting old in Canada.

Singh returns to the Gaza scene being a genocide by Israel, which is an unspeakable turn of lies to support insane antisemitic policies.

When Poilievre discusses the Century Initiative, Singh goes full pitbull again, interrupting, talking over, and preventing his opponent from speaking.

Carney takes Conservative platform to heart, and talks about building the trades. 

Blanchet lies and calls small nuclear plants more dangerous than large nuclear plants.

I would imagine hospitals and universities in Quebec have small nuclear plants like most universities, and hospitals.

But the truth would be terribly inconvenient to people who lead Canadians.

CONCLUSIONS

Singh says NDP in Parliament brought Medicare, and other benefits.

Carney makes his election position anti-Trump

Poilievre wants the old promises of Canada to come back

Blanchet wants Quebec to have sound relations with U.S.A. in trade.

(Afterthoughts:  Blanchet was far more wary of attacking Poilievre.

The only province mentioned was Quebec. A couple times Marble-Mouth Carney attempted to squeak out 'Alberta.' 

He failed. None of them mentioned northern Canada. None of them mentioned our coasts. None of them mentioned Newfoundland, or the Maritimes. 

It was strictly a Quebec debate about Quebec.)

A lot of after-debate observers were struck by the amount of static noise the NDP leader generated through the middle of the debate.

This allowed zero traction to a Poilievre argument and occasionally a Carney argument, and Singh stymied debate between the two central combatants to the finish. I believe part  of the failure to allow debate fell on Paikin. But the moderator did get the worst of it under control by the fourth and fifth round.

 

I wonder if it was the most effective way for Singh to portray his politics. Perhaps it was his best shot because at least he was present, and remembered.

 

Blanchet, once again, proved the most Patrician of the debaters. He delivered level headed responses in a timely manner and never strayed from topics.

Israel is the only enemy the Liberals can name in election 2025

So bizarre you political observers cannot see what is happening. Trudeau (obviously at the advice of Mark Carney) put an arms embargo against Israel last year.  Mark Carney made a bold declaration of pride in that arms embargo last week.  

These diplomatic bear traps have consequences.  The U.S. ceasing Honda auto manufacturing is a DIRECT diplomatic response to Carney's attack on Israel.  Canada's position with Israel's defense is so far out in left field, it's going to cost Carney the election. As it should.

I don't understand how Carney would fail to avoid asymmetric warfare in the middle of an election.

https://msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/lilley-carney-campaign-s-prayers-answered-with-latest-51st-state-comments/ar-AA1CZgBT?ocid=socialshare&pc=ASTS&cvid=22ea96ab43ec47a0ba21a91a7e6fae90&ei=6

Israel continues to demand release of hostages, civilians captured, spared from slaughter only to be kidnapped and dragged away to brutality and captivity, Oct 7, 2023. 

And Carney is making ghastly quips about his arms embargo against Canada's ally. Not Kosher. Even as Jews are engaged in Passover to celebrate overcoming despot assholes like Carney.

If you're going to vote Liberal be sure to do it TWICE!

 

Just leave already

Is it a wig? Why do I care? I don't. I really don't care. 

"Every day, $3.6 billion in goods crosses the Canada-U.S. border, fueling a $1.3 trillion annual trade relationship. 

"This partnership supports 1.4 million American jobs tied to Canadian exports and 2.3 million Canadian jobs tied to U.S. exports. 

"Canada and the United States trade over US $2.5 billion in goods and services daily." {Microsoft Bing}

The cross-border relations in tourism, athletics, education, and family are as old as the history of changing demographics in the Americas.

To me, this kerfuffle stinks of false flag politics, mainly on the part of the Canadians, whose political system is straining credulity on a 'global' scale.

For example, a Prime Minister who resigned a couple weeks ago is suddenly in charge of arranging an economic embargo against the U.S.. 

It doesn't make much sense to be super-charging the politics when you have no mandate to even be sitting in the chair. None. Zero.

It's comical. I assume This Hour Has 22 Minutes is writing the episode as I speak.

Yet some might say I fail to mention who started the kerfuffle with stupid declarations. "In case you forgot, it was Trump."

It was Trump stating a fact the world has been witnessing for a decade, Canada is run by chumps.

I don't feel national pride in the dunderhead. I recall how I felt last week when he resigned. Relieved. And then I think about how I felt when he resigned again, today, like as if he is going to be resigning on a regular basis while he runs our energy sector into a dark abyss.

Have you ever been with somebody who declared how much they loved you while they poisoned you every day?

What's running a country when it's $3 billion a day in trade? Do you think the country with 350 million people is benefiting as much as the country with 35 million people? Who is getting a larger benefit from the $3 billion a day?   That's the question.   If we are getting a raw deal in Canada, who has been in charge of cutting deals for the past decade?

  Don't  answer.   Why isn't the focus on the issue? Joly is at this hour in Washington, probably studying the papers involved at this minute, and instead Trudeau gets to start an internecine war against a woman Premier. He's killing two females with one stone.

He just fired a woman Cabinet Minister. He appears to be shoe-horning the unfortunate Mark Carney into the PMO. He hasn't said a single congratulations or word of encouragement to the peace process in the Middle East, approaching success between Israel and Hamas, of all things.  Nothing to see there.

But war with ALBERTA IS ON.

What a fucking peace of shit.

There's a pattern. I don't think it's the fault of every woman who had the misfortune of encountering this prick as Prime Minister. But it goes to the very beginning. It was only 2016 for the year 2016. 

The rest of the time it didn't work out so well for the women in his government. I have a striking feeling he sent Joly into war zone after war zone to get rid of her. Problem for Trudeau is, Joly is vastly superior to him intellectually and in political savvy.   

I don't care what anybody thinks about my opinion. The fact is, polls aren't going to change. He's a despicable tyrant with a shit agenda who has spent 10 years fucking up a once healthy nation.

He should fuck off good and proper like any dignified political loser would do. All those before him have done it. Just fucking leave already.

More Canadian federal mismanagement to report, this time, fisheries

The Liberals are something else, and that 'something' is Kakistocracy

Yes. What we worked so hard to build as a nation is gone because Liberal de-Enterprise took power from Canadians.

Yes, we lose our health care, and our cities will be patrolled by U.S. military, and our governments will be shut down, and our resources will no longer fund our way of life.

We are an illusion as a country anyway. The weather makes it impossible to keep the illusion alive. One crop per year, 7 months frozen, Canadian populations huddle close to the U.S. border, as close as possible. A few huddle around Maple trees gather syrup for trade. A few run pipes deep underground to get oil for a real economy in the U.S.. All the prattle about how great it is, not really, unless you're tough enough to play hockey, and lucky enough to avoid the Lawyer criminals scuttling down the streets, diverting ambulances. This isn't a fuck you Canada. It's a statement imploring pragmatism about what's happening here. If India has a reverse of population, as China has, as the whole world has, believe me, Canada won't be the first choice of any immigrants anywhere in the world.

Why? Mainly because the Liberal Party back room boys (and girls) are criminals, who put a gaping hole in the treasury for themselves, while we get the Two Randys, and Rainbow Trudeau, and Bungy Guilbeault, and our money disappears, and our resources are locked in, and our energy is slipped out the back door.

Meanwhile the criminals made the drugs flow, the hospitals fail, the organs available, and made people lose political choice; there is no election, there is no Opposition, there is nothing but other countries laughing, and threatening to walk in and take over.

 Why did this happen? Because Liberals fell to criminals. Could there be another reason? Not one as obvious as this. Because people in power put Trudeau in office.

It becomes obvious to the world the Prime Minister is an unwelcome presence in a government in Canada which has no moral compass, and no legitimate place in governance.  These Liberals haven't won an election since 2015. 

Here we are with a foot in the door of 2025, and the Liberals are somehow running government.  That is something else. A collective criminals, low-lifes, and incompetent people cling to power by any means possible.  

Why have Canadians fallen to the criminals? Lawyer criminals  graduate law school to be better criminals provide a rotten untenable foundation atop which they put a drama teacher in charge of Canada. 

What motivates criminals? Greed. More than power, they want to own everything, and having a dead-from-the-neck up Prime Minister opens the taxpayer's vault to the criminal syndicate stealing power. Owning everything is actually possible when you have a whole National Treasury at your disposal.

That's what this federal government amounts to. A mob of greedy criminals and their associates is called a Kakistocracy. You're living it. Look it up. It's ugly. You know it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakistocracy

These criminals have been destroying as much as they can for decades, because they are greedy. And I see what they have done.  I see them. I see their face. I see their deeds. I see their greed. 

And they are Liberals. They are federal Liberals. And they are criminals. And while they may never serve a day in prison for their murder, theft, and endless injustice, they do not belong in government any further. 

These people need to be extinguished from political power. Canada needs honest government restored, now.

Hold on. This is the kakistocracy I am talking about. This is the perfect example of it. This form of institutional criminal minded thinking is like, a pandemic. It's like a real pandemic. Not a mask wearing old people dying make cripples stand in line phony vaccine pandemic. This is people making a living off causing you severe pain, deficit, and set-back. Like a lawyer who studied law to be a better criminal. If you know one, they're dangerous.

It's a cruel world when that's what you make it. This happens to be a lefty specialty (making it a cruel world).

This was not my position at all times. It is a position I have been taken to by long term observation and a small amount of intense investigation, and a certain amount of rumination and luck upon making discoveries.

Everybody is wearing a mask, of course. The psychopath who won't leave power no matter how much it pains the world is wearing a mask. And so is the criminal behind him pulling the strings to make him say and do the stupidest psychopathic crap imaginable.

Anyway. Liberals don't run a pathocracy as much as I have believed since the previous decade. It was in about 2020 to be exact when I became convinced that a form of governance called pathocracy had taken control of a few western governments. I have changed my mind. The form of government we have encountered under the guise of leftist policies, is called: HANG ON TO YOUR HATS "A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens" These are three types: the WORST, and the LEAST QUALIFIED, and MOST UNSCRUPULOUS citizens. That can include a lot of fraternities, to go along with the other gutter sniping, back stabbing, evidence diverting ne'erdowells fighting for power, because it's profitable and you don't need brains.

Considering you are confronting an entity known as kakistocracy, yes, expect a fight. Kakistocracy - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakistocracy…… As the President encountered twice during the election, there are dangerous minds lurking in the background of a government run by criminals. This is why I suspect Democrats could disappear as a political entity due to the criminal constituency running the party. Enough investigations revealing a criminal brand would end the party permanently, as it would be outlawed like the Nazi Party is outlawed in Germany. And I firmly believe they have taken control of government levers in Canada as well. It appears to be a government which cannot be removed from office. Is that criminal enough? Pretty sure it is. I think they are obsolete in a world where change demands brains. And government needs brains enough to change to keep up with this new age of technological change, and advance.
