POWER SURGE
It will be interesting to see how the power grid will function when millions of vehicles are being charged and the air conditioning is running. Brownouts will be the norm and the amount of hydro you are allowed to use daily will be regulated. Time to flip the switch.

ELBOWS DEEP
So, it appears Prime Minister Mark Carney was lying to Canadians during the election when he said he was the only person who could deal with President Donald Trump and it was all “Elbows Up.” Now, all we get is ‘Hands Up,’ as in ‘We Surrender.’

President Donald Trump wants a lot of attention. He did not stop the war with Russia. Now, 35% tariffs. If our prime minister does not answer the bell, then give it to Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He would increase the hydro surcharge to a few states to 50%. The senators will be on the blower after Trump.

HOT AIR
I would agree that the climate is changing. Is it us, or is it a natural occurrence? I do believe, though, that this narrative by the global elites is a con job; a scam. These people, the rich hypocrites, the 1%, have enough hoarded wealth that they could fix every problem on Earth with it. So why aren’t they? Instead, they have all invested in — and are forcing compliance with — this climate change scam. These elites, the greedy, want more.

Jewelry store owners should be licensed to keep guns behind the counter. When robbers attack, there should be no question that owners are permitted to shoot in self-defence. Enough protecting the bad guys. It’s time that they start paying the price that they deserve.
