Stephen Harper and the PC's could be running this country for a long, loooong time. I figure three back to back majorities are concevable, four however is a bit of a stretch. That would put Harper in the Canadian political record books. And would also entrench Canada as a fiscally...

Knowing as I do the leftward slant to several of the most popular posters on this site I thought I would chuck out a small dose of political reality. Canada once was known as a Liberal country at heart and the Liberal Party of Canada was known as "the natural ruling party". No more. The Liberal...

Early this evening: See Harper kill a kitten and drink its blood. Hear Ignatieff proclaim that if he becomes Prime Minister of Canada his first act will be to merge Canada with his "true home" the United States of America. Live and in 3D. But seriously, the debates are on early this evening...

Count Igula has been doing some pretty nifty verbal tap dancing in regards to his previous comittments to Canada. Here is the deal. Iggy had never bothered to vote in Canada federally until the 2008 election when Iggy had just lost the Lib leadership and Dion was El Jefe. That means before the...

Canada easily has the ability to become one of the richest and most powerful countries on the planet. Imagine if you will Saudi Arabia or the Emirates without any oil; the harsh reality is they would be nothing but fly-blown wastelands populated by goatherds. Environmentally correct wastelands...

That is the question. And it really is the only realistic question that relates to the current Federal election. There is a website called ThreeHundredEight.com For anyone interested in polling or any political junkies this is the website to go to. The site has no political bias at all. They...

New research is indicating that hydroelectric power may be as dirty as coal fired power generation. Granted it's a reasonably new field of study but the latest result are indicating that hydro power is none too clean. First off is the massive carbon footprint involved in building a dam in the...

The so called "housing bubble" is a topic of considerable debate in the media. Is there one in Canada? And what the hell is a housing bubble anyway? Is a foamy housing market a bubble? An overheated market? A hot housing market? An over priced housing market? A bubbly market? A constant sellers...

I don't think you are following my drift here MHz. Looking at large scale pictures of the ground and believing you are capable of understanding the regional and historical geology is like looking at a photograph of a high rise and believing you are capable of being a structural engineer or an...

I would tend to agree with your statement that the more information one obtains about a given subject the closer they may become in understanding how things work. I would also postulate that it is possible that the more valid information you gather about a particular field the more you may...

In answer to your questions. 1. The Earth is not expanding by any consistent or significant amount. 2. No undersea eruptions are not causing the polar ice caps to melt. Undersea eruptions are not heating the worlds oceans by ever increasing amounts as it is a known input...

The Solar Decathlon was just held in Washington DC. Twenty teams competed this year and the event was sponsored by the US Department of Energy. The competion is open to all and is related to the International Solar Car Challenge. The goal is to try and design the most energy efficient...

Responding to these threads is like playing Whack-a-Mole. Or Stomp-the-Roach. Ignorant and poorly educated people post vast screeds of obviously factually and logically flawed sensationalist crud. Potentially harmful crud. Any innocent reader who naively believes any of it risks possible...

You dog. The Bob B. courses are pretty much understood to be absolute top drawer. You can make or break a potential racing career at his schools. Never went to one myself but I have been on the track with some of his American instructors and they are world class. And at Nurburg? You Dog. As to...

My first vehicle at age 16 was a Kawasaki 750 H2 triple. Possibly the most evil and inappropriate first time vehicle in existence at the time. Next up was a Volvo 144 heavily subsidized by M & D who probably felt that my fascination with extremely fast bikes would quickly lead to a nasty end...

Right you are. I am a Canadian with dual nationality. I live in Canada and work in Europe. Spend a lot of time driving in the UK. Due to advancing age and early onset dementia I occasionally forget which way is what. In general it all works out for the best however it can get a bit tense on the...

Every single twig or grain of sand on the road would be like a lightning bolt up your spine. In wet weather it would be like skateboarding drunk in a hockey rink. The trunk probably would hold a kleenex and a lost sock and not much more. Magnificent car. I want one. Trex

For you that is probably so. Keep driving them and please try and keep over to the far left lane. Thank you. Trex

Great cars Juan. I have loved the look of the Healy since I was a kid. The GT 6 not so much. I would kill to get my hands on an old Healy on the cheap. It isn't going to happen , I know. But still a great car. Smiths Instruments and Lucas electrics and all. Had a buddy with a Tiger when I was...

The the Obama administration in its never ending quest to promote a trade war with Canada has now shut down Air Canada's ability to fly charter planes carrying Canadian hockey teams into the United States. It turns out that they have just closed an exemption for sports teams to fly on a...
