There are two huge dirty ugly coal plants about to go on stream in BC, to supply electricity for our needs over and above what our hydro dams are producing. If the Govt of BC was serious about reducing emissions [BC is one of the worst in terms of increases since 1990] , they would do all they...

K - there was heavy fighting in Iraq southern areas today, with some towns like Basra being taken over by one of two Shia groups who appear to be fighting each other. CBC was reporting it this morning * [see at bottom, funny stuff!] "The Shia-Sunni battle for Oil" -...

There isn't any urgency to address global warming in the new legistlation. The focus for any immediate or near term action is only on smog, and not the general emissions that cause global warming. We waited and we stalled until global warming became evident [as it is now] and then the...

Whats with the silence from the primary players in the global warming emissions reductions being legistlated now? Have we created the conditions where it has become impossible for some of Canada's citizens to say what they believe? I am referring to our embattled hard-working CEOs of...

Free the Garth Blog!! Garth Turner had been the most vocal of the Conservatives over the defection of David Emerson to Harper's cabinet. His public statements concerning that issue were on Garth's blog. That blog is now not working, I tried several links to it and although one page did open...

Declaring that air pollution, and not climate change, is Canadians top priority, is what Rona Ambrose, Env minister, has just told us. I wonder if she ran a poll, or just asked some of her closest friends? Really, if Canadians were given the facts about both, and asked which is their top...

President GW Bush and PM Harper have both decalred that their military forces will stay in Iraq and Afghanistan "until the terrorists are beaten". Ya, RIGHT ...as IF NOT going to happen - the "terrorists" will be there the day after we leave, whenever that is. One of the terrorists...

"Getting closer to Uncle Sam" {quote above from this article: http://tinyurl.com/ecpjh K - We are getting closer to being Americans than we know: - we don't know because the Conservatives are not telling us what their agenda is, and no comment is all we get after these meetings. - we...

http://tinyurl.com/lj5wa So what eh? Maybe its not really 'news'. I guess we knew the bully tactic was the strong suit for BushCo. All he can do is say "do what I say or we will bomb you back to the stone age". Great diplomatic skills - not. He really doesn't have any other way to get...

Propaganda on Opposition to Bush policies: It may not be a BIG lie, but the slant that Americans are getting will not be one that allows American viewers to form an opinion based on the truth, but rather an opinion that is along the lines that Bush wants then to have. Here is the evidence...

http://www.straightgoods.ca/ViewFeature6.cfm?REF=528 Thats interesting eh? One way around this is for the Canadian troops to buy and bring home the poppy crops and distribute it to BC Addicts. The Mayors in Vancouver area are talking about giving drugs to addicts as a way to reduce "drug...

The recent debacle over MRIs done in public hospitals has ended with the private operators being kicked out. The health minister launched a probe into the issue too. This is a perfect example of "Create the Problem, Offer the Solution" - read on. What is NUTS is that it took a patient to...

Many Americans have converted to Islam in the past five years. Women in the USA are starting to wear the veil and adhere to Islamic traditions. These are NOT recent immigrants from Arab nations, these are people born in the USA. English translations of the Koran head the American...

Number of deaths in USA each year: 2,398,343 How does the 1500 or so Americans killed on 9/11 comapre to this? It is paltry. If the Bush government was sincere about saving and protecting American lives, there are several ways that this could be done that are more effective than...

The Americans are showing several mini-series and specials about 9/11 on this the fifth anniversary of that day. There will be many shots of the towers buring and then falling. I will be watching carefully to see how they edit the films to omit those crucial few seconds just before either...

Stockwell Day, in Kelowna this weekend, told the CBC reporter: "Get them there before they get us here" , referring to the Taliban that Canadian troops are killing off in Afghanistan. This might sound familiar to anyone listening to the American propaganda in the past five years over the War...

As Vancouver mayors propose giving addicts the drugs they are committing crimes to get, we see a cheap source of Heroin right under our noses in Afghanistan. Afghan farmers will produce 610 tons of heroin this year!!! And we have soldiers right there to buy it up at firesale prices. If...
