“Premier Danielle Smith To End Agreement With World Economic Forum”—
https://blazingcatfur.ca/2022/10/25/premier-danielle-smith-to-end-agreement-with-world-economic-forum/
Key graf:
‘ “I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders,” Smith said at a news conference Monday after her new cabinet was sworn in.
‘ “That is offensive … the people who should be directing government are the people who vote for them….’

Let’s hope such courage, levelheadedness and forthrightness becomes a stampede.

Can’t be. Simply can’t be….
Looks like those dastardly Republicans aim to steal another election.
Again.

To head them off at the pass, “Biden” and his “creative” DOJ are going to have to do something radical. Fast. ASAP. By yesterday….

Got it! A loyalty pledge.
Yer either with us or aginst us.
Your choice.
If yer with us, we’ll allow you to vote. If yer not…well tell me now, which self-respectin’ country would allow you to vote if yer against us?
But we’ll play fair. (It’s the American way…after all…)
Yep, we’ll give you a hint of what that loyalty question will be.
Listen up now!
Pledge question: What is our dear, devoted, clever and courageous “POTUS” ‘s favorite flavor of ice cream? (Du jour…)
Fair’s fair. Good luck to ye’…

During the ’73 oil embargo, heating oil was hard to come by. But, not wanting to stall the economy, the braindead PTB said you could have all the diesel you needed–to oil companies and private distributors.
So the distributors made up their heating oil shortfalls by ordering extra diesel–which did not run out. Same stuff.
Which shows to go you that we weren’t out of product, but that the government was involved.

Heating oil is priced like diesel (I think they may be same stuff, just differently distributed). About $5 a gallon. It’s going to be ugly.
