Pretty disappointing to see this morons jersey as our representative.

They could have used Iggy’s jersey and they chose Theo’s? Barf.

On August 1, 2022, the NHP discovered a record-breaking hailstone for Canada, measuring 12.3 cm in diameter and weighing 292.71 grams.
NHP is aiming to create forecasting models that can better predict destructive storms. At the same time, governments and insurance companies are also working on “cloud seeding,” a chemical solution aimed at creating smaller, less damaging hailstones."

And yet the worst hail storms have occurred post seeding program…….

I heard that for some time last year the insurance companies stopped the seeding programs - not sure why, maybe they didn't think it was worth it - and that's when all the car dealerships got crushed. A lot of car dealers can't get good hail insurance anymore - Thus all the big tents now.

I’m more surprised that Smith didn’t hold a press conference calling her buddy the most discriminated against motivational speaker that she’s ever seen.

The severity of hail storms is usually measured in what the cost was to insurance companies. More recent storms are worse/costlier, despite cloud seeding, because of a number of reasons. Population growth, our towns and cities occupy more space, inflation to labour and materials, etc. More houses and cars to damage, and they cost more to repair.
Regardless, it is a difficult thing to prove. Would a bad storm have been even worse without seeding? Or was a less sever storm due to seeding? I'll leave that to the bean counters in the insurance industry to decide.
But I think that the chemtrails folks are more concerned with every plane they see "spraying" the skies with... something that is definitely not just condensation from a hot jet engine. Or is the contrail hiding the chem part? I can't keep up.

Clouds are just a conspiracy to obscure chemtrails.

His jersey is inside the Hall where it belongs. Theo's doesn't.

I’m just parroting what insurers are telling me.
Seeding has been happening since 1996 (IIRC), the has been a #### tonne of storm, bad ones between ‘96 and now.
$1.5 Billion of insurable losses arising from the June 2020 storm, which was a storm with a very small footprint
I’m not sold that the seeding (as it is currently done) is effectively reducing the instances of catastrophic hail damage.
In fact I have heard some insurers are looking at their involvement.

That’s what I thought too. So ASET members should probably be pissed still but the outcome is right.

You should have.
Although I understand why you didnt.
In my line of work? I've seen how banks screw over regular people. I'm fighting two egregious incidents of it right now.
That being said, here is my conclusion: There is some actual truth in that video, exclusively related to the Banking industry in Canada. But its couched in some seriously outrageously thick Propaganda.
The links, assertions and assumptions from that to the Government of Canada or Trudeau or Freeland? I'm no fan of either of them but those 'links' are insanely 'tinfoil-hatty' at best.
People. We as Citizens need to start sharpening the blades so that we can sift the wheat from the chaff.
That video looks like it was made by a High School AV club student who just read his first Nietzsche treatise.
But the concept of Banks selling over-priced and under-producing products? Thats an actual, real problem that affects average Canadians. I see it all the time in the financial field and it drives me nuts.
But aren't there boards or regulatory agencies or...just levels of oversight involved? I dont think a teller screwing up at the local branch goes straight to the PMO every time.

I don't think I can recall ever seeing an advertisement for a Canadian bank while showing chemtrails in the sky. That proves that the banks are behind them and don't want us to know it.

Oh no! The 5G got you!
This country is in desperate need of some serious Banking reform, but that fact alone does not indicate some egregious, shadowy Government conspiracy that goes all the way to the top!
This is the worst kind of misinformation. They took a genuine problem that needs serious attention and consideration and then just pointed the blame at their 'enemy-du-jour' and couched that genuine issue into a pile of BS and now nobody believes it.
Canada needs Banking Reform. Period. But no, its not Justin's fault or the Lizard-Men (although they're not helping!) or even the Liberals, but its just people. And as people, we need to pay attention to this, not just point the finger of blame at unpopular politicians.
And frankly, it really does all point back to the original ethos of the Convoy 'logic' where they camped out on Justin's lawn to demand that he eliminate travel restrictions to the US despite the fact that he very clearly and obviously didnt have the power or ability to do any of that.

Yes, Theo. Did you know you could get infected by posting to Twitter? Like, have you seen Pfizer has a website on the internet? And it's all a series of tubes, so just by being on the internet it can spread to you.
Jeez, it's like the dude has never heard of computer viruses before.
