While the Canadian government appears to be moving ahead with its regulations to have all electricity generation in the country at net-zero emissions by 2035, Saskatchewan’s premier will be staying the course with his own plan. Last week, the federal government released its draft proposal for...

Hey kid, want a chocolate bar? Just go collect some used needles in the park and that nice safe-injection site place will give you one. http://apple.news/A2lzvSyOzSk-A1MmFfG8CUA On Monday, the South Riverdale Community Health Clinic (SRCHC), quietly took down a poster from their front door...

The annual rate of inflation rose to 3.3 per cent in July, Statistics Canada said Tuesday. That’s up from June’s inflation rate of 2.8 per cent. Economists had widely expected an increase. Gas prices contributed to the acceleration, StatCan said, as did growing costs on mortgages tied to...

In the U.K. and other Western European countries voters are pressuring politicians to abandon damaging green policies or face political defeat. Last year, the European Parliament labelled natural gas clean energy because it has the capacity to back up renewables and thereby preclude blackouts...

In March 2022, from its green perch high above us mere mortals, the federal government arbitrarily mandated a virtually unachievable net-zero national electricity grid by 2035, which will undermine electricity’s reliability and affordability and cost $54 billion, less hoped for future savings...

You’d think Putin has enough shit going on without stirring the pot further, but here we are.

This just in: It’s going to be cold and snowy in Canada this winter. So says the Farmers’ Almanac, according to BlogTO, cruelly calling its winter forecast the “return of the BRRR.” The good news, being that we’re still in the dog days of summer, is that winter doesn’t officially begin until...

Shit, I’m better at Racist than Sexist at this point then. I’m not sure what that’s a sign of, but it doesn’t sound good.

What do Canadians think of carbon taxes? We know what the federal government thinks: Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is a huge fan, as he has been a vocal proponent of his government’s imposition of a minimum price of $65 per tonne of carbon, which has raised the price at the pump by 14...

What Mulcair doesn’t mention here is Hydro dams do radically alter the ecology of a water system, and not for the better. So while it might be “cleaner,” (except for the Methane which contributes about three times more than CO2 over comparable time frames) it is not without ecological harm...

That’s crazy…. You can literally walk in any direction in the city of Regina in a relatively straight line for less than two hours….& be out of the city. I don’t doubt it but it’s still tough concept to wrap my head around. As a teenager, I would bike (bicycle) from Regina to Lumsden to Craven...

The COVID experience was shitty for everyone, but especially so for children. I think of it as a ratio thing where for a 50yr old getting through it was only 1:16 of their life experience of bizarre donation of their life to social confinement, but for a 12yr old it was 1:4 & to a 6yr old it...

Sour gas. Heavier than air. Hell of a way to go.

The Margarita stuff is nice, and the variety of cream liquors are small quantity bottles so I can pick up a selection for creating shooters (1/2 diluted with coffee creamer ‘cuz folks gotta still get home) for Lisa’s Nail Salon Clients…helps make for a different experience. Pampered experience...

The regulations are designed to push Canada toward a net-zero electricity grid — with a stick instead of a carrot. In 2035, they would ban carbon dioxide emissions over a certain level in electricity generation (with some flexibility permitted: carbon capture and storage could be used to...

Hasn’t yet over time. Just the one stiff one each on a Saturday ‘cuz there’s still Saturday ‘day’ to tackle….

That and woke posturing for global selfies from those far enough up the financial scale not to be personally negatively impacted by the steeply increasing annual April Fools gift that keeps on taking…. “Look at Canada & it’s 1.6% of global nightly emissions and how they’ve prostrated itself as...

Ok, it did. We’re having a “Camp Coffee” each this morning using a local product.

Coffee & Mescal….on a Saturday morning to start the day….that might turn into a bit maybe….😉
