We'll call pigs "Mulligan" from now on, although I doubt that there's even a drop off Irish blood involved.

Wild pigs causing 'ecological disaster' as they spread rapidly across Canada, survey says

For the first time, researchers have mapped the range of wild pigs across Canada and found the invasive swine are expanding at a rapid rate.
Wild pigs are now Canada's most prolific invasive mammal, according to what the University of Saskatchewan calls the first-ever published survey of their distribution in Canada — and they're causing an "ecological disaster."
Wild pigs are now Canada's most prolific invasive mammal, according to what the University of Saskatchewan calls the first-ever published survey of their distribution in Canada — and they're causing an "ecological disaster."
"They'll root up the vegetation like a rototiller," said researcher Ruth Aschim. "They're rolling around in the water, defecating in it."
"There is crop damage, disease transmission, even automobile crashes with these pigs."
The wild pigs are the legacy of a failed attempt to diversify meat production with wild boars.
The porcine pests were imported from Europe in the 1980s and 1990s for livestock or "penned game" for hunters.
Many boars escaped their pens and mated with pigs, said Aschim, and they're now causing damage wherever they go.
The wild pigs are rooting and wallowing from B.C. to Quebec.
While most are in the Prairies, there are pockets in Ontario, Quebec, northeastern B.C., the B.C. Interior, and possibly even the Vancouver suburb of Langley.
Only Atlantic Canada and the territories lack populations.

They currently range over more than 750,000 square kilometres — an area larger than Chile — and their territory has increased by 88,000 square kilometres per year, on average, over the past decade, researchers found.
"The public is not overly aware of the wild pig problem, because they are elusive and nocturnal," Aschim said.
Researchers say wild pigs are very hard to eradicate.
They grow as big as 115 kilograms (250 pounds), can eat almost anything, become sexually mature in four to eight months and have about six piglets in a litter.
Researchers add they're hardy in the winter as well, burrowing into "pigloos" in the snow.
The survey, published last week in Nature Scientific Reports, warns that wild pig populations and range will "continue to expand exponentially" over the next decade at least, if aggressive management policies are not implemented soon.

Climate Barbie back into action gotta signal to the US that it is a world emergency Lol

What is a climate emergency? Liberals, NDP table duelling motions on climate change

Canadian politicians are expected to debate Thursday whether or not to declare a national climate emergency.
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna is tabling a motion Thursday that would state that climate change is a “real and urgent crisis” and impacts Canadians across the country.

The emergency declaration also says Canada should “commit to meeting its national emissions target under the Paris Agreement and to making deeper reductions in line with the agreement's objective of holding global warming below 2 degrees Celsius and pursuing efforts to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.”
The declaration comes one day after the NDP tabled a similar motion, which called for government to “(increase) the ambition” of greenhouse gas reduction targets. That motion also asked for Canada to commit to abandoning the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, which the Liberals purchased in 2018...……...More

Toronto Sun writer Lorry Goldstein has done a wonderful job of exposing the various ways that tax mad LIE-berals are destroying our province. I have included a few comments of my own in brackets.) Goldstein writes:

Liberals planning agency to dictate how Ontarians use energy

By Lorrie Goldstein, Toronto Sun

Higher electricity rates kick in for Ontario

Watching Ontario’s Liberal government address climate change is like watching children running through the hall with scissors.

It’s all fun and games until the taxpayer loses an eye.

This is the same government that couldn’t deliver on a known commodity like computerized medical health records, leading to the $1-billion eHeath scandal.

The same government that presided over the Ornge air ambulance fiasco that is still being investigated by the police.

The same government that wasted a billion dollars canceling two gas plants.

The same government that, in the one thing it did right on the pollution front — ending Ontario’s use of coal-fired electricity in 2014 — blew billions of dollars on unneeded, unreliable and expensive wind and solar power, while actually replacing coal with nuclear power and natural gas.

The same government that, aware of real-world experience (in British Columbia) showing a revenue neutral carbon tax is the best way to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, chose the worst way.

That is an absurdly complicated cap-and-trade system which will increase government bureaucracy and cost Ontarians $2 billion annually to start, beginning next year.

A cap-and-trade scheme that has failed in Europe, where it has been inefficient at lowering emissions, sent consumer prices skyrocketing, driven millions of people into fuel poverty and is overrun by fraud and organized crime.

And where did the Liberals get their advice on setting up their cap-and-trade system?

From the architects of Europe’s 15-year-old cap-and-trade disaster, the Emissions Trading Scheme, of course.

Undeterred by this breathtaking record of incompetence, we now learn Premier Kathleen Wynne and Climate Change Minister Glen Murray are crafting a new government agency to dictate how Ontarians will use energy in the future.

This is so dumb it makes the former Soviet Union’s centrally-managed and disastrous five-year plan for the production of grain — which led to a famine — look like a work of genius.

According to the Globe and Mail, this new climate agency, no doubt to be headed by a climate czar, supported by untold climate minions, will issue diktats on everything from how utility companies supply electricity to their customers, to what kind of cars Ontarians buy.

Not content with having forced us to subsidize the purchase of five, $1.1 million Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrids in Ontario — among the world’s most expensive cars — the Liberals are now plotting to game the car market so that every two-car household has at least one zero emission or hybrid vehicle in its driveway by 2024.

I say this LIE-beral car plan sounds like something from that insane literary utopia Brave new World in which it was the DUTY of all citizens to consume and purchase goods as dictated by govt or suffer a penalty!)

That means orchestrating the sale, with gawd only knows what public subsidies, of 1.7 million electric cars and hybrids by 2024, taking seven million gasoline-powered cars off the road by 2030 and ensuring that by 2050, 80% of Ontarians walk, bike or take public transit to work.

As one auto industry spokesman quipped to the Globe on whether it’s possible to reach such targets in the car market, it “depends on what you’re smoking”. Indeed.

POOR CLUELESS Comrade Curious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy Justin and his loser LIE-berals SEE BIG OPPORTUNITY IN Climate DISASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It will be MUCH EASIER for LIE-berals to GRAB DRACONIAN POWERS in a time of major trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The exploitation of chaos generated by social an economic upheaval is PAGE ONE of the dictators playbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LOOK at the actions of Pierre Trudeau in imposing his wage and price controls ON ALL OF CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


While IGNORING THE FACT that then - as now - it is civil service union HOGS doing the vast majority of the striking for higher wages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Then as now - it is our civil service union HOGS driving inflation with their solid gold pensions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We can look at the current economy in which it is civil service union HOGS MAKING WAR on the Ford govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Comrade Curious and his HOG allies want to PRETEND that Ford govt wss not elected to REDUCE LIE-beral spending madness!!!!!



It is union HOGS getting ready to STRIKE for more gravy in defiance of the $16 billion dollar LIE-beral Ontari-owe DEBT that are making headlines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or look at Cdn auto workers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How many of them are striking at this time for higher wages?????????????????????????????


Versus how many auto workers are raging at LOST JOBS - now that GM and its Yankee competitors are pricing themselves out of our markets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


While Our idiot Boy Justin and his loser LIE-berals quietly WRITE OFF $2.8 billion dollars in loans TO General Motors and to Chrysler - that LIE-berals have deemed "UNCOLLECTABLE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



EVERYTHING THAT LIE-berals touch......................................


becomes an UNHOLY God awful MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Toronto HOGS were warned that their choice of Presto transit cards was the MOST COSTLY AND LEAST RELIABLE version available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Toronto HOGS have gone on to PROVE their critics were CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals assured us their mouldy green power plan would be "good for us"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the results of the mouldy green mess were so far reaching that it destroyed the Wynne-bag LIE-beral party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In spite of this Our idiot Boy is pressing ahead with a modified version of the Wynne-bag green mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Or we could look at the federal Phoenix Pay System...................................................


FOUR YEARS IN and inside observers are quietly wondering if the over payments to some...............................


the under payments to others...........................................


and the NON payments to still others.................................


WILL EVER BE UNRAVELLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The ONLY THING LIE-berals are good at.......................................


is TELLING US HOW WE SHOULD BEHAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To bad LIE-berals FEEL NO NEED to emulate what they consider to be good citizenship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
