There is a initiative to bestow basic rights on the Southern Resident Killer Whales, who are endangered and not doing very well. The idea is that until something is given rights under the law (poor people, woman, black people) it is almost impossible to protect them properly or to ensure their...

Another crazy white man with a gun. This guy had a beef with his neighbor so ended up a a local grammar school firing his AR15 through the windows. God was kind and somehow he was unable to get into the school. He was already on parole for a stabbing and had spent much of the week firing...

Interesting internet censorship going on right now. If you go to Google news and start typing in the killer's name Google will not give it as a suggested result. In order to read stories about the Texas Church Killer you have to type his whole name into the search box. Thank you Google for all...

If it seems to you like there are more and more mass shootings you need not worry. There are. There is also a growing body of evidence that this is a contagious activity. One mass murder may prompt someone to do the same thing, and so on. One idea being discussed is no notoriety. A voluntary...

Oh the fake news of it all. After withdrawing from climate change deals and tearing up Obama Era climate laws and calling for the rebirth of coal and on and on and on the Trump administration has to release a scientific report that says it's all true. It's a man made problem and there is no...

Not a huge MMA fan but I am considering getting tonight's ppv. The return of GSP is a pretty big deal for this new sport. Having him fight Bisping for the MW title is also interesting - although Bisping is widely considered a one and done champ. Plus there's Gambrandt vs Dillishaw for the BW...

Hysterical remarks re climate change from our new gov general. She basically said creationists are idiots - which is of course true but a little uncalled for. When she scoffed at divine intervention she knowingly or unknowingly triggered every conservative idiot in the land. To suggest that life...

BC has been talking about building a hydro mega project in the Peace (north-east BC)since Christ was a cowboy. The BC Liberals (conservative whack jobs who used to be called SOCREDs) and BC Hydro (government whack jobs with no accountability to anyone) jump started the process by ignoring due...

Just watching footage of this horrific crash on highway 400 north of Toronto. Have not lived in Ontario for many years but i drive driven pretty much all over North America and 400 highways in Ontario are the most aggressive anywhere. Way too fast. Way too many cars and way way too many trucks...

Finally Alberta has a leader who is suitable to lead the wide array of conservatives in that province. Someone who can nurture those delicate bonds between the white nationalists and various other racists and crack pots. Racheal and the NDP had better put their cups on and get ready to do...

Seems to me that the situation in Spain should be of special interest to Canada. We have faced a very similar situation with Quebec separatism. It will be interesting to see how far Spain will go to squash this thing.

CBC is determined to make this an issue. They are saying the military conviction rates are half of the civilian rates but they are only talking about 17 cases. Not nearly a large enough number to produce a meaningful average.

I am pro Walmart self checkout. If I have two or three things I can get out of there way faster doing it myself. Same at Home Depot. I should get a discount for performing the work they otherwise have to pay someone to do. But I don't get a discount. This is the basic problem with automation...

Fully. Completely.

I also post on CBC.ca under my real name and I find it an extremely censored site. They very seldom open up hot news stories to commenting. Its very frustrating. For instance they are are renovating their website and do not allow any comments on any of the changes. I am old enough to remember...
