    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    “Follow the Science of my Dogma!”??? “Follow the Science” seems to have become a political marketing slogan the last few years, like “Settled Science” has.

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    It seems Justin Trudeau is just fine with Steven Guilbeault serving Canada and China at the same time. Trudeau’s office refused to comment on a story broken by the Toronto Sun that Guilbeault was advising the Chinese and Canadian governments at the same time. In an exclusive interview with...

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    It’s a dry year on much of the prairies also. I remember about 10 years ago when they were lakes everywhere on the prairie for a year or two where the old timers hadn’t seen that before. I remember really dry years in the late 80s, and crazy amounts of snowfall in the middle and early 70s...

    The Story of Kennewick Man sounds similar, from a similar era, but that skull was found in a creek by two college students, where as the one I’m thinking of was found in a cut during road construction near where two rivers met. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennewick_Man But that’s a 1/4 century...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I’m pulling this out of my backside at this point because this was an archeological magazine (yeah bit of a Geek) I read about 20 or 25 years ago. Punchline is that they were doing road construction, near the junction of two Rivers (Snake & another) and came across a body. It was in great...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential elections. "We are certainly working on scenarios," Joly said in French during an interview...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    That tribe from Japan that’s almost extinct now could’ve been over here spreading their genes. It’s the tribe that they figured was the closest genetically to the Snake River Man found in I believe Washington state….& dated to something like 9500BC. That’s an interesting, read all by itself...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    The crux of the issue is that you have grids that are (fairly) net zero already or systems that are (fairly) net zero already in Quebec and Manitoba and B.C. And then Ontario, you have quite a low emission system, (and) Newfoundland and Labrador. But then you get into New Brunswick, Nova...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    With the unveiling of a draft of Ottawa’s new clean electricity regulations last week, the Liberals have made the opening move in a high-stakes chess game between the federal government and the provinces that could play out over the next decade and a half. But if one thing is clear, it’s that...
