Costs to soar as aging Canadians face rising tide of dementia - The Globe and Mail Being an ‘aging boomer’ myself, articles like this naturally grab my attention. There are some rather interesting forecasts being made about the numbers of Canadians facing dementia in the future and the...

For the ninth year in a row, the Canadian Men’s Junior Hockey team will meet either the US or Sweden in the Gold Medal game. Canada beat the Swiss team 6 to 1, in what I thought was a game dominated by Canada. Late in the game, the Swiss drew a 5-minute penalty when a Canadian player was...

It all came down the last shot-on-goal by the US during the shoot-out following a 5-minute overtime period. After Canada had scored three goals in a row, and the US had followed with two - our Canadian goalie stopped the last shot and Canada once again beat the US to win a bye into the...

Exactly, JLM. He may then talk his neighbor who will talk to another, and so on. The bottom line is it starts with me and it starts with you. We can make a difference. I am not saying technology does not have a role to play, indeed it does. In the mean time, rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams...

Boy do you have that right, JLM. It is up to each one of us to do what we can, encourage others to do the same, and keep after our government to do something. My ex and I used to argue about the power individuals have, all the time. He is firmly of the opinion that people don't change and...

Okay, Kakato. By the way how did you come by your name on the forum, if you don't mind me asking? Sorry, Ron... back on topic. I was just sitting here reading your post and thinking that with all the time you have spent up North, and from what I gather you do care about the environment, so...

Snicker, snicker, snicker.. post count fodder! Hee Haw.. .good one lone wolf. :lol:

Some of the biggest polluters on our planet are the big corporations who contribute to political parties and are thus often excluded from necessary clean-ups. Agri-business and food companies are among the very worst. Governments don't move on anything unless there is political captial to be...

Good article, Ton, and nice to see that some countries will be breathing cleaner air. I must say though that I found the last sentence in the article more than a little gratuitous.

Yep, another Kyoto all over again. Why can't the politicos hold a conference on what they can do to clean up their own backyards and let the climate do what it is gonna do anyway. But wait, meetings are a waste of time you said, well then the clean-up will be left to us, as always. :smile:

OPEC (6% of emissions, 2% of G.D.P., 5% of people) who have been price fixing the globe for oil for decades (extortion is such a bad word) will want compensation if oil consuption drops due to Annex 1 countries reducing their emissions... If the shoe fits?..... :smile:

No surprise there, lone wolf. :lol:

Quite frankly, neither do I, Eagle. :smile:

I shovel paths for my furry companion Bobbie who needs to get out and do her business. She is very particular about staying far away from the house so I tend to shovel long paths out to tree cover where the snow is not too deep. A tractor would come in real handy. :smile:

Sorry, Anna, I mispoke. What I meant to ask was the possibility of magnetic pole reversal having an effect. No? http://www.polereversal.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=1 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/magnetic/reversals.html

I hear you Eagle, been doing' some of that shoveling myself this morning, and as I look out my window right now, I see that I am in for more fun in the snow - if it ever stops! :lol:
