Time for a rant. I try hard not to be personally insulting on these threads but sometimes the urge becomes overwhelming. Stretch you are a complete idiot. I happen to believe that individuals in our society should take responsibility for their actions. I happen to believe that individuals in...

So Count Iggy says he is no longer going to support the Harpo. After voting in favor of dozens if not hundreds of Conservative bills the Libs have drawn yet another line in the sand. No more trained seal shows from the Natural Ruling Party. And Canadians could be going to the polls yet again...

The Monocle a magazine for EcoFriendly-Euro-Yuppies has come out with its "Best Cities in the World to Live In" rankings. Scored apparently by ranking the following: Internationalism. Crime stats. State education systems. Sunshine and weather. State Health care. Tolerance. Public...

In another thread I noticed that old oft repeated chestnut about foreign immigrants. The main thrust of it is the generalization that Taxicabs, Seven-Eleven's and Pizza delivery joints in Canada are primarily staffed by immigrant Nuclear Physicists and Physicians. Is it true? Not really in my...

Iggy has got to be doing some very serious calculating these days. On other thread about a Liberal forced election this spring I predicted that Iggy would not have the "stones" to force an election this spring or this fall. 50% right so far. The question becomes did Iggy pass up a prime...

I am starting to believe he is when it comes to dealing with Canada. Protectionism and unfair trade arrangements were a significant worry to Canadian businesses when the Obama administration came to power. Their fears certainly seem well justified now. The ever "thickening" border with Canada...

On an earlier post I predicted that Harper would only last between 6 and 18 months before Count Iggy punted him out of office, probably with a Liberal minority. I also pointed out that Harper was starting to wear a bit thin with Conservative party members mainly because of all the political...

So Iggy now proudly exclaims having friendly chats with Lyin Brian Muldoon. He repremands Harper publicly for not showing Brian enough respect or attention. Mulroney spokespersons now says Brian may not necessarily be a "Lifetime Conservative". And now Andrew Coyne comes out with this little...

Rufus, Use Splenda. I repeat, Splenda for cooking. It comes in small packages and in bulk for cooking. It also comes in brown for baking. Trust me, I cook a lot. I have been type 2 for 10 years. Watch the carbs and the glycemic index. There are good recipes out there. Best of luck. Trex

Splenda is a sugar replacement that tastes just like sugar. It is designed to replace sugar in cooking and baking recipes. Low carb/glycemic index cookbooks for type 2 diabetics can be found at the library. Trex

I was raptly watching E. May on a television interview the other night. There was one point she insisted on making over and over. It's not to be called global warming anymore. No more talk of global warming....ever. Henceforth it is to be called Climate Change. No more mention of global...

............................................................................................ OK DB I will, This thread starts off more or less talking about carbonization of organics and mineralization and then meanders off into the depths of astrophysics. I freely admit to being lazy. I...

Given the gadawful weather that Canada has been slogging through, I had to wonder. How far does an electric car (battery powered) car go in minus 40C weather? Sub 30C weather? Does it become uneconomical from an energy footprint VS miles travelled perspective? If the car is left for a few...

................................................................................................. Right you are Dexter, As someone who has suffered through sedimentary petrology, crystallography, stratigraphy,historical geology and mineralogy as well as a couple of quarters in nuclear physics...

At my house we are not too keen on open flames beneath bubbling pots of peanut oil either. We looked around and found electrically heated fondue pots and that at least got rid of the burners. Also in the for the sake of our cardiac systems we are experimenting with using beef and vegetable...

Here is a roundup of exactly what they think. Quote: .Ipsos-Reid Ipsos-Reid released their poll yesterday evening, asking what Canadians would prefer: an election, or a usurpation of the Harper government by the Liberal/NDP coalition. 60% of those polled were in favor of an election over the...

A received bulletin: Having decided that the Detroit Redwings technically won the 2008 Stanley Cup, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars have formed a coalition demanding a three way ownership of the league title. Rational for their decision revolves around their...

Here is an email I believe may be originating from the Prime Ministers office Quote: Two months ago, Canadians elected the Prime Minister with a strengthened mandate to address the global economic crisis. Now, a Socialist-Separatist-driven coalition is attempting to overturn the results...

That is assuming that the NDP, Lib and Bloq triumvirate seizes control of the Federal Government of Canada. Whether or not the GG Michelle Jean will approve it has been discussed on other threads. I believe she will. And at a stroke Canada will cease to be a Democracy by definition. It will be...
