Since it was a reply to one of cliffy's FB memes I strongly suspect him. But it would apply to anyone that has more than three kids and pretends to care about the environment.


LIE-berals are working with a VERY SIMPLE FORMULA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


People who are BANKRUPT CANNOT AFFORD TO POLLUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That such bankrupt people cannot afford heat or food or clothing is not relevant since NO LIE-beral expects to go short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Here is an article illustrating the staggering damage that LIE-berals are doing to multiple generations of Cdns as they seek to BUY our votes now!! With some comments of my own in brackets):

Liberals' fiscal update: Billions more in deficits this year and next

(It might not be quite so bad if LIE-berals had any actual plan to deal with the debts they are running up - sadly THEY DO NOT!! LIE-berals apparently plan to spend as much as they can and for as long as they can - and then WALK AWAY LAUGHING - with their pockets full of OUR gravy when the smelly stuff hits the fiscal fan!! That aint a plan - its legalized ROBBERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

OTTAWA — Canada’s federal budget deficit will be billions of dollars deeper than it was supposed to be this year and next, according to the Finance Department.

(Four years ago LIE-berals got elected on a promise to BALANCE the budget by 2019 and they missed that goal by a country mile!! By the end of 2020 - if their latest budget predictions are right- we will have OVER $110 billion dollars in new federal debt in just 5 years - and we HAVE NOTHING to show for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Natives still have boil water advisories!! We do not have any new public transit to speak of!! To many Cdn kids still live in poverty!! The number of homeless people and drug addicts on our streets is soaring!! LIE-beral wild spending HAS NOT bought labour peace - nor has it reduced wait times at hospitals!! LIE-beral spending priorities are SO SCREWED that civil service union HOGS - the man recipients of LIE-beral gravy -refused to give LIE-berals a majority govt this time around!!!!!!!!!)
The figures released this morning show that the Liberals’ projected deficit of $19.8 billion for the 12-month period that ends in March is now slated to hit $26.6 billion.

And next year’s deficit is expected to be $28.1 billion, before accounting for promises the Liberals will unveil in their 2020 budget.

(And those new projections DO NOT include for the cost of any LIE-beral election promises nor for any bribes to get NDPees to support their minority govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The Liberals’ election platform projected four years of deficits of more than $20 billion, including almost $27.4 billion in the upcoming fiscal year that begins in April 2020.

The Finance Department says the deeper deficit is largely driven by changes to how employee pensions and benefits are calculated, but also accounts for a tax break that takes effect on Jan. 1.

(Ah yes- the GREAT ELEPHANT in the room!! Back in 2012 - LIE-beral friendly news media whores STOPPED TALKING about the GROWING DEFICITS being run by civil service union HOG pensions!! Our HOGS get such grand pension payouts that LIE-berals cannot shovel our cash into HOG pockets as fast as HOGS drain it back out!! With OSSTF - our ON STRIKE Ontari-owe high school teachers CLAIMING up to $55 BILLION DOLLARS in deferred pension payments - plus interest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Also in 2012 - media whores STOPPED talking about the THEN $300 billion dollars in federal pension promises made by LIE-berals in exchange for those HOG VOTES that have been keeping LIE-berals in power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Our municipal and Crown Corp HOGS - from OPG, Metrolinx, E-health and the colleges and universities were much more discreet about what promises LIE-berals made them!! And now the IOU`s are being claimed!! And LIE-berals are being FORCED to make “changes to how employee pensions and benefits are calculated”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Meaning LIE-berals are being FORCED to admit to and to carry MORE DEBT!!!!!
It was Ontari-owe LIE-beral Wynne-bag who was most bold about cooking the books!! She held $10 billion dollars in cash intended for OSSTF pension pay - and counted that $10 billion AS AN ASSET - in spite of the other $45 billion she had PROMISED TO OSSTF - making her debt magically into an asset - on the road to balancing her last budget - the one HIDING the $16 billion dollar deficit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Yes- LIE-beral math is so bad that they can claim credit for being solvent while having ONLY 20 percent of the gravy needed to pay for their OSSTF promises!! With the sort of numbers and pension IOU`s that LIE-berals are working with - and ROUTINELY HIDING with accounting tricks NEVER TAUGHT at any reputable school of accounting - using the magical LIE-beral now you see it - now you don’t debt management book cooking school of thought - it seems fair to say: If its LIE-beral - it’s a LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Still, the Liberals say their preferred measure of the state of federal finances — which calculates the deficit relative to the size of the economy — will keep improving, if not as quickly as it was supposed to.

(Uh huh - and the reason the balancing act will be SLOW is because Wynne-bag LIE-berals got mauled for their electricity price gouging and gravy grabbing!! And Our federal LIE-berals got cut down to minority govt status thanks to their carbon tax SCAM!! LIE-berals are DISMAYED - we saw through their LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And our “strong and booming economy” just enjoyed record job losses in the third quarter of 2019!! With “successes” like that - it is CLEAR we cannot afford that LOOMING LIE-beral RECESSION and DEBT WALL FAILURE!! The govt credit cards are being MAXed out and it will HURT when they are cut off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Spending is also expected to go up faster on the Canada Child Benefit than the Liberals projected earlier this year, a reflection of pegging the value of payments to inflation and “an increase in the projected number of children eligible.”

(Yes - to bad LIE-berals DO NOT wish to admit that inflation is driven by the size of new wages and PENSION Gravy handed over to HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The government also says that increased spending announced in the March 2019 budget will be “entirely offset” over the coming years by what the Liberals call higher-than-anticipated personal and corporate income-tax revenue.

(Oh? That sounds like LIE-beral CODE for higher than expected carbon tax SCAM GRAVY!! Meaning the carbon Tax will PUSH WAY BEYOND that original $50 per tonne crap that even LIE-berals refused to commit to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

At the same time, revenues will decline for excise taxes and duties this year — largely from the Liberals’ lifting retaliatory tariffs on American steel and aluminum earlier than they planned — and over the coming years from “lower expected growth in taxable consumption.”

(Ah - MORE LIE-beral weasel word- “lower growth in taxable consumption’ translates into LESS SALES TAX grabbed from dead broke Cdns!! If we are broke we DO NOT BUY and LIE-berals don’t get as big a cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Federal officials are also promising the first phase of a spending and tax review that the Liberals say will result in $1.5 billion in savings starting next fiscal year, which the government has accounted for.

The update provided today from Finance Minister Bill Morneau comes on the heels of a week where the opposition Conservatives accused the government of creating the conditions for a “made-in-Canada recession.”

The government, however, projects that the economy itself will continue to grow over the coming years at roughly the rate calculated in the March budget.

(Yeah -so many LIE-beral numbers are ROUGHLY calculated to sound rather better than they really are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The Finance Department projects growth will be 1.7% this year and 1.6% next year, after weakness late last year and early this year, particularly in the mining and oil-and-gas sectors. The projections would make Canada the second-fastest-growing economy among G7 countries, behind only the United States.

(Yes- LIE-berals LOVE inflation - it lets them give their HOG allies MORE and lets them more easily HIDE the economic stagnation that is hitting everybody else!!!!!!!!)

(As for what happens when we do that LIE-beral mandated face plant straight into the debt wall - God help us then!! It will be chaos and frantic squealing as that HOG GRAVY Train RUNS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

"Strong winds and record temperatures have seen wildfires tear through an area bigger then Belgium in recent months, with at least nine dead and 800 homes destroyed so far.
lerts of “catastrophic conditions” have been issued, with residents asked to avoid all but absolutely necessary travel in the vicinity of fires.
On Saturday, the fire service in the state of New South Wales issued warnings for much of the area surrounding Sydney.
Statements posted on social media told residents of towns throughout the Budawang, Budderoo, Kanangra-Boyd, and Blue Mountains national parks: “It is too late to leave.
“Seek shelter as the fire approaches.
“Seek shelter in a solid structure to protect yourself from the heat of the fire.”
VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AMONG DEAD
On Thursday, two firefighters were killed when their truck rolled off the road after being hit by a falling tree as they travelled in a convoy.
Geoffrey Keaton, 32, and Andrew O’Dwyer, 36, both dads to young children, had been volunteering with the Rural Fire Service (RFS) in an area south of Sydney.
RFS commissioner for New South Wales Shane Fitzsimmons said both men were “well-respected” and from a “close-knit brigade”, and that their families were in “extraordinary shock”.
Three other firefighters suffered burns in the accident, while the ambulance service said four firefighters in NSW were treated for heat exhaustion on Saturday.
One who collapsed is reported to have opened his eyes and told a Sydney resident: “We saved your house mate.”
Two people have been confirmed to have died today in the hills outside Adelaide in the neighbouring state of South Australia.
Also badly affected have been the eastern states of Queensland and Victoria.

Yeah, yeah.............................................


Nut Zone Doug RAVES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It has already been proven that a good many of the California wild fires...................................


ARE THE RESULT of badly maintained electrical equipment.............................


with a side order of CARELESS SMOKERS and a stupid camper or two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One wonders if the Australian fire situation is not similar??????????????????????????


And we DO KNOW that Australian authorities HAVE ALREADY ARRESTED AND CHARGED.........................


a volunteer fire fighter - apparently trying to dum up some work for himself.....................................


WITH ARSON in relation to some of the fires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Only a LIE-beral would equate arson and bad electrical equipment with climate change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Poor Nut Zone Doug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is BAD that he is such an idiot............................................


but IT IS WORSE that he thinks we are more gullible than HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once it burns proper fire management can commence and this can be avoided into the future.




TRUE DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One has only to go back and read up in National Geographic



regarding the DEVASTATING WILD FIRES that engulfed



much of Yellowstone National Park in the 1980`s to



recognize how PROPER FIRE MANAGEMENT CAN



RESOLVE THESE ISSUES!!!!!!!!!


After an honest study of the problem - Park staff took sensible steps in induce regular CONTROLLED BURNS that dramatically REDUCED FUTURE FIRE DAMAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A low level burn allows many trees to survive - scorched to some degree but ALIVE and able to recover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Indeed - some Pine trees CANNOT reproduce until AFTER A FORE- as their seed Cones are sealed with resin that requires a fire to melt it and release the seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Of course if the fire IS TO HOT - such as when people have been deliberately suppressing fires for 100 years- it allows huge piles of dry branches and dead leaves and etc to accumulate and when that gets going - everything is burned - including the Pine Cone Seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Anybody who has tried to burn GREEN fire wood KNOWS how hard it is to set alight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thus trees can and do survive the small controlled burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And the controlled burn REMOVES the fuel that enables LARGE FIRES to get going.............................


and it is the LARGE INTENSE fire that quickly DRIES OUT green wood and enables it to be consumed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Australian fire problem appears to be nothing more than a Down Under version of the Yellowstone fire problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is understandable that authorities would be reluctant to SET FIRES but the alternative is to do nothing - while HUGE PILES OF DRY



MATERIAL PILE UP - just waiting for a spark to create MAJOR DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In other words - CHEAP ASS GOVT that wants to save gravy for itself and regards fire management risks as a costly nuisance are



the MAJOR CLIMATE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And of course LIE-berals are DELIGHTED with any opportunity to whine about our "climate emergency' since it means they can also



push their carbon tax SCAM - AS A FAKE CURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Carbon taxes are NOT about the environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Carbon taxes are all about GOVT GRAVY GRABBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, we did not know that. We all thought Australia is an island. And those were like little bays.

'The worst is over': Travel strongly discouraged as winter weather calms down


Relief is near for regions of Alberta and B.C. that were slammed with heavy snowfall on the weekend, but travel is still discouraged as roadways remain hazardous.
As much as 80 centimetres of snow fell on Banff National Park — among the hardest-hit regions — by Sunday morning, sparking numerous reports of vehicles stranded after striking snowbanks and icy roads leading to accidents.
According to the Canadian Automobile Association, significant stretches of roads west of Calgary were closed or covered in snow on Sunday.
Highway 93 N., from Saskatchewan River Crossing to Athabasca Falls and Moab Lake was closed, in addition to poor conditions on Highway 1 heading toward the Rockies out of Calgary...……………...More

OTTAWA — As if a waterlogged crop, trade problems with China and a railway strike weren’t enough, Manitoba farmers are being forced to pay the carbon tax on some items under rules that they argue don’t make sense.

They are pleading with the federal government to fix an apparent oversight that has hit them in the pocketbook.

"We’re shooting ourselves in the foot," said Warren McCutcheon, who grows corn near Carman, 70 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

He’s among hundreds of family farmers who want the Trudeau government to eliminate the carbon tax on the practice of grain drying. It’s one of the few agricultural tasks that is subject to the federal levy. Fuel used for agriculture is exempt from the tax because there are few environmentally friendly alternatives to it. Officials decided it would be counterproductive to apply the tax in cases where customers would likely shift to cheaper foreign products, resulting in a minimal effect on carbon emissions.

The carbon tax isn’t charged on propane in some parts of farming, but it is charged on fuel used to dry grain.

When grain that has been harvested is too wet, it must be dried. It’s not possible to dry it using electricity. Technology to switch grain drying from fuel to hydroelectricity is likely years away.

McCutcheon said the three-cent levy on every litre of propane has cost his farm $1,800 to date.

In North Dakota, farmers are able to dry their crops without paying such a levy.

"It’s disappointing and frustrating that our government seems to want to make us a less competitive industry, one that benefits our country in so many ways," McCutcheon said.

Manitoba’s proposed carbon tax exempted grain drying. Premier Brian Pallister scrapped his proposed plan in October 2018, so the federal government imposed its own on Manitoba.

The issue has percolated for weeks, with premiers of the three Prairie provinces asking for the tax to be stripped from the cost of grain drying. Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has asked the three Prairie provinces to tabulate the cost.

“It’s like a perfect storm aligning and hitting you all at one time. That’s what we’ve encountered in Manitoba this year. I consider that a huge issue, with regards to the federal government not understanding western Canadian agriculture."— Keystone Agricultural Producers president Bill Campbell
