Wait a minute. The sun causes global warming? What a stunning scientific discovery. The next thing American Thinker will be declaring is that rain makes the ground wet and snow is cold. And CO2 has nothing to do with increased global warming? Too bad we can't interview a few Venusians about...

Not sure where this should go so I am putting it here. I have often wondered what would happen if I replied to some of the "Nigerian prince" spam I have received. I guess this answers the question. I have included the source for anyone who wants to buy the complete book. This is an...

Interesting article. I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but the columnist Earl Fry believes that the many problems besetting the United States could be solved if the United States would follow Canada's example. He points out that in the early 1990s it was Canada that was the country in...

I realize that this article is more about showing off than any sort of religious connection, but I found it interesting that any sort of Christmas tree would be raised in a Muslim nation. Maybe all Muslims don't hate the West after all. It turns out that a hotel in Abu Dhabi has placed the...

Here are two articles outlining just how useless Canada's laws banning the use of surrogate mothers and restrictions on fertility clinics are. Canadian law prohibits payment for sperm, eggs, or surrogacy services, however there is nothing to stop couples from getting around the law by going to...

A recent study revealed that in online forums those who resort to "flaming" receive more responses to their posts. I cannot say that any of the posters at CC employ flaming as a strategy, but it is interesting to note how quickly some threads degenerate into shouting matches. Flaming drives...

Recent discoveries reveal more evidence that the release of ancient Lake Aggasiz into the Atlantic raised ocean levels and may have drowned early civilizations located in what is now the Persian Gulf. Prior to the event the gulf was probably a river valley and any early human settlements there...

A relative sent me this little gem. Innocuously entitled Demographic Problem it outlines a Muslim takeover of the West by the middle of the century. I wonder if anyone else will have the same reaction to this scaremongering that I had. YouTube - Very Sobering Video, Demographic Problem...

At the risk of sparking another acrimonious gun debate I just thought I would ask this question. What does a nation like Mexico do when the drug cartels it is fighting at the behest of the United States are being supplied with most of their weaponry from the US? It is now a fact that many...

At a recent meeting of the Parkland institute Margaret Atwood strongly criticized the policies of the Harper government, calling for a "dictat-o-meter" to measure Canada's movement away from accountability in government. However, it was James Laxer's comment that seemed most critical of the...

So much for Papal infallibility. Years after the truth was more than obvious to the rest of the world Pope Benedict finally admitted that condoms might be of some use in preventing disease. However, don't expect real enlightenment from the hidebound establishment that is the Roman Catholic...

Just a little glimpse at what passes for scientific knowledge in the US Congress. Apparently the star of the show is a Republican called Joe Barton who, among other things, believes that: windpower might cause global warming by slowing the wind...

I found this article interesting in that Judaism is often seen as the religion of the persecuted. It turns out that Judaism has its own form of internal persecution in which women are excluded from practicing their religion in its holiest sites. I suppose given the patriarchical...

I never thought I would praise Walmart for anything other than an incredible talent for making money and destroying competition, but it seems the US giant is showing the way by introducing green technology in its Balzac, Alberta distribution centre. Not only does this show that businesses can...

That would make liberals considerably more intelligent than conservatives would it not?

He didn't say you can't fertilize with hog manure. He implied that it would be too expensive to ship pig manure from Quebec to Saskatchewan. It would be in its raw form. There is, of course, a way around that problem and that is to use digesters to process the manure using the methane that...

Sorry, Sparrow. Your link doesn't go anywhere. Do you have another? As for biodiversity it is not a new issue. Those who have been paying attention know that the loss of various species is of major concern worldwide. As a single example take a look at crop diversity worldwide. Two hundred...

Quite so. I believe they are called conservatives. One can only hope that eventually they will find their own road to extinction.

Reuters) - Talk show host Jon Stewart was crowned the most influential man of 2010 on Tuesday, heading a list of 49 men who all swayed public opinion and were described as rule-breakers to some degree in a time of recession. Interesting that a 20 minute satirical comedy host is now...

Today is the anniversary of a rather sad day in US sports, but one that probably marked one more step in the attempt to achieve equality for racial minorities in the USA. It is known as the "Johnny Bright Incident" and concerns the deliberate injuring of Canadian Football Hall of Famer Johnny...
