Wool can make a comeback. Not by competing with polyester on price. By competing with polyester on everything else. Wool is naturally fire-resistant: it chars rather than melts, and does not sustain combustion easily. This is why firefighters' proximity suits historically used wool and why wool upholstery is still specified in commercial aviation. Wool is naturally antimicrobial. The lanolin and the protein structure of the fibre inhibit bacterial growth. A wool garment worn multiple times between washes does not smell the way a synthetic does. This is why Merino base layers exist and why endurance athletes pay significant money for them. Wool is biodegradable. Entirely, completely, within years rather than centuries. Wool is a carbon store. The protein structure locks up atmospheric carbon sequestered by the grass the sheep ate. Wool regulates temperature in both directions: the crimp structure traps air as insulation in cold and wicks moisture in heat. No synthetic fibre does this across the full range. Wool is renewable. It grows back. The British wool industry is not dead. It is undervalued and under-marketed and competing with a product that is only cheaper because nobody is pricing in the plastic in the ocean and the microfibre in the food chain and the petroleum extraction at the start of the supply chain. Price those in. Price the plastic honestly. Suddenly the sheep in the Cumbrian field is producing something that costs 30 pence a kilo and saves the water system. The sheep has always been the better option. The sheep has been waiting patiently for the accounting to catch up.

British wool production reached approximately 70 million kilograms per year in the early 20th century. The British Wool Marketing Board, established in 1950, guaranteed a price floor for clip wool. For decades, sheep farmers received a meaningful return on their fleece. Then polyester arrived. Then nylon. Then acrylic. Then all the petroleum-derived fibres that could be produced at industrial scale for prices that wool could not compete with. By 2023, the average price paid for British wool clip was approximately 30 pence per kilogram. The cost of shearing is approximately £1.50 per sheep. The farmer pays to remove the wool. The wool does not cover the cost of its own removal. The farmer shears because an unshorn sheep suffers: flystrike, overheating, wool blindness, not because the wool has value. The wool that clothed England for six centuries, that built the Cotswolds, that paid for the Woolsack, that financed the medieval Church's building programme: is now a disposal problem. A byproduct so devalued that it costs the farmer money. Meanwhile, the fleece jacket you are wearing is shedding approximately 1,700 plastic microfibres per wash into the water system. The plastic fibre replaced the wool fibre. The plastic fibre is in the fish. The wool fibre would have biodegraded. The wool fibre was made by a sheep in a Cumbrian field and it cost 30 pence. The plastic fibre was made from petroleum and it is in your bloodstream. We chose this. We chose this specifically.

A recent @JCCFCanada report “Manufacturing Consent: How Canada’s Government Manipulates Public Opinion”, implicates the federal Liberals in engaging in manipulative persuasion tactics, spending over $595 million in media subsidies, plus millions more on behavioural-insights teams, communications units, and digital-strategy programs to shape what Canadians see and influence how they think. The report outlines how this money is being used to: 1. Make media financially dependent on government support, reducing critical coverage. 2. Use behavioural science to influence public reactions and guide opinion. 3. Label dissenting views as “misinformation” or “extremism” to deter debate. 4. Expand surveillance of citizens’ movements, finances, and online activity. 5. Normalize emergency powers and restrictions that limit civil liberties. 6. Rely on government-funded “fact-checkers” to control which viewpoints are treated as legitimate. Taken together, these actions mirror tactics used in authoritarian systems, where governments shape narratives, manage dissent, and influence citizens’ beliefs and behaviours without their consent. Canadians and Parliament need to push back. We must demand transparency, stand up for free expression, safeguard digital privacy, support independent media, and limit government overreach. Our democracy depends on keeping government power in check. jccf.ca/wp-content/upl…

🇨🇦Updated Canada's immigration chart based on Liberal government targets for 2025. 2.5 million is the largest peacetime influx of immigrants relative to population size in world history. At this pace, Canada's population of 40 million will grow by over 25% in the next 4 years.

Mark Carney outlined his economic plan & unfortunately for Canadians, it's the same Liberal playbook they experienced with Justin Trudeau but on steroids. Free child & dental care for immigrants, no promises to stop the largest peacetime influx of legal migrants in world history
