Oil is so 20th century The first cars used hemp fibers, maybe we should take a step back and do the same, review it in 2119. Grown in the ditches of the hi-ways would allow a fabric to be put down that would eliminated pot-holes for 20 years. Then it become black dirt all on it's own.

Check out our full list below and see what hemp has to offer. One thing that’s clear is that as more people start using hemp, its misconstrued stigma will more quickly disappear in the modern world. We hope you’ll try some. You’ll be surprised how awesome they are.

And that's only a very partial list. There are some 600 everyday consumer goods derived from oil with another roughly 6000 not so everyday goods.

I didn't see kayaks on there. I guess that is why it is ok to protest oil in a plastic kayak. Kinda like using public transit and thinking you are not using any oil.




LIE-berals seem to make a VIRTUE of being ILLOGICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One has only to think of the Demon Swede Greta raging about money obsessed leaders.........................


while at the same time she CONVENIENTLY FORGETS that she would simply be another unemployed teen doofus with learning disabilities without that wonderful CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP that pushed her up onto the world stage!!!!!!!!!


And she seems OBLIVIOUS of the ongoing CORPORATE INFLUENCE that keeps her name in front of the public and enables her to



promote her blather at lunatic climate "conferences"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or we could discuss the colossal HYPOCRISY of people like Al Gore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Consider::::






Here is an older article illustrating the ugly hypocrisy of LIE-beral style `environmentalists`. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Al Gore's hypocrisy 'breathtaking'

By Lorrie Goldstein, Toronto Sun. First posted: Saturday, July 29, 2017 06:08 PM EDT | Updated: Saturday, July 29, 2017 06:14 PM EDT

Global warming guru Al Gore blew through Toronto recently on a promotional tour for An Inconvenient Sequel, the follow up to his 2006 Academy Award winning film, An Inconvenient Truth.

The sequel is scheduled for general release in August, and Gore had high praise for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — who briefly appears with Gore in the new film — as a key player in negotiating the 2015 Paris climate treaty. The Nobel Peace Prize winner also took a mild shot at Trudeau, expressing disappointment he supports oil and gas pipelines.

(Better get used to such double standards-it would be far easier to cut back on gravy for Hogs-and save the environment that way than to harass ordinary people trying to heat their homes and etc! Less gravy means less Hogs flying and airplanes are the dirtiest way to travel- Cdn Geographic magazine quoted climate experts claiming it is more environmentally sensitive to drive an SUV from Toronto to Florida than to fly there- but Hogs wont quit as planes are `convenient`- so screw the environment when its `convenient` for Hogs! And screw you too for wanting to drive to work because you are polluting Hog air!)

Never mind that the purpose of those pipelines is to transport Canada’s oil and natural gas resources to market, fossil fuels which supply the energy Gore relies on to keep his never-ending global, jet-setting environmental crusade airborne.

(And never mind that the fossil fuels generate jobs and enable us to have hot water and flush toilets in our homes by fueling the trucks and machinery that enables us to have our modern, sanitary, disease free lives! If we depended on LIE-berals to go out into farm fields and weed our beans and pick our carrots and lettuce we would all starve to death! So many modern conveniences depend utterly on fossil fuel) that ending the use of that fuel as LIE-berals claim they can- will devastate our economy- and our health too!)

This as he travels the world in the lap of luxury urging the rest of us to tighten our belts to save the planet.

(LIE-berals ARE entitled- they do the `hard work` of saving us from our selves!)

Fact is, the world really would be in imminent, existential danger from global warming if everyone consumed as much fossil fuel energy as Gore does.

(LIE-berals have the same charming moral compass as plantation owners in 1859 Mississippi! The world belongs to them and they are ENTITLED to a prominent place in it- aided and abetted by meek and mild slaves/tax payers! LIE-berals are entitled to bankrupt us and ruin our lives AND to curtail OUR fossil fuel use if it suits them- and it too often does!)

The failed U.S. presidential candidate completely jumped the shark in 2013 when he sold his struggling liberal cable network, Current TV, to Al Jazeera for $500 million, with a reported payday of up to $100 million for himself.

Al Jazeera is owned by the oil and gas emirate of Qatar, an Arab dictatorship currently denying allegations from surrounding Arab dictatorships that it funds Islamic terrorism.

Gore’s hypocrisy in selling Current TV to Mideast oil and gas interests, given his crusade against fossil fuels, can only be described as breathtaking.

Ontario residents should think of Gore every time they pay their electricity bills, which doubled over the past decade to become the highest in Canada, taking the shine off Premier Kathleen Wynne’s promise to cut them by “25%” starting this summer.

Actually, 17%. The Liberals cut electricity rates by 8% on Jan. 1, 2017, a year after raising them 10% when they cancelled a subsidy program.

Back in the heady days of November, 2009, Gore flew into Toronto to praise then Liberal premier Dalton McGuinty’s passage of Ontario’s Green Energy Act that year, before a sold-out audience of 1,300 at the Allstream Centre in Exhibition Place.

Two Ontario auditors general — first Jim McCarter and now Bonnie Lysyk — have since extensively reported on how the Green Energy Act has been a financial disaster for Ontarians.

(And without cleaning our air either! Yankees can lay claim to any air benefit as they have closed 150 coal fired generating plants- though sillyn LIE-berals are trying to take that credit for themselves as a way to hide their mouldy green energy crap! Our hydro system has become a giant slush fund for LIE-berals and Hogs- environmental concerns take a back seat to Hog gravy needs!)

They documented how the McGuinty government, followed by Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government, wasted billions of public dollars buying expensive and unreliable wind and solar power they didn’t need to replace coal-fired electricity, which was done with nuclear power and natural gas.

(Certainly burning coal the old way with NO pollution scrubbers on ancient equipments as Ontari-owe had been doing was a bad thing- but as noted- LIE-berals REPLACED our coal plant output with nuclear and natural gas generation- THUS NO NEED for mouldy green power- EXCEPT that LIE-berals turned power generation into a GIANT slush fund to BUY votes for their pals!)

The auditors found the Liberals failed to develop proper business plans, economic impact studies, or even do internal auditing, laying the groundwork for every Liberal energy blunder from the cancelled gas plants scandal to the smart meters fiasco.

(The ONLY plan LIE-berals need or want is the one that enables them to BUY all the votes they need to cling to power using their electrical slush funds!)

Undeterred, Gore was back in Toronto four years later in November, 2013, praising Wynne at the province’s MaRS building for announcing Ontario would ban the use of coal-fired electricity in the province forever, thanking her on behalf of the “world” for “doing a fantastic job.”

Now, Ontario is about to re-enter the coal-fired electricity business in Colstrip, Montana, after Wynne sold control of Hydro One to private investors.

(LIE-beral morals are so flexible they can do back flips while standing still. And the purchase of that coal fired plant in Montana is necessary since LIE-berals are seeking to EXPAND their electrical slush fund now that major opposition to electricity rates has dominated Ontari-owe news! LIE-berals have decided it might be easier to get their gravy from operations not in immediate view of Ontari-owe voters and auditors!)

Funny how things work out, eh?

(LIE-berals have no business sense and no shame- only greed!)

I found it very difficult to buy men's pants made from 100% hemp fabric. Eventually found them on line; hand made, Fair Trade direct from Thailand and expensive with postage. Sadly they don't fit although they seem well made. A family member will get them.

There isn't much hemp clothing, etc, available; which is a shame but until/unless the public wants it, that will be the case. I did find (online) a couple of clothing items made from a combination of hemp, recycled polyester (?) and 'organic cotton'. It was expensive too.
