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

    Do you seriously think we have enough forests to provide firewood to every home in Canada and/or the USA which requires heating? Also burning firewood also releases CO2 in the atmosphere so is not carbon friendly.

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

    Aside from natural gas or oil, your other option is electricity. Not sure where TB lives, but that would never be considered cheap in Ontario.

    Trudeau’s Newest New Carbon Tax

    The whole point of this stupid tax, if you believe them. is to make gas so expensive it is economically unviable to drive. It has nothing to do with gas company profits. Why does he care that it got passed to consumers? Idiot.

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

    I think the question is how big a poison pill are we willing to take to fight climate change if the results of our action have little effect? If China was truly on board and was going to be taking the same pill together, then yes we should all just gulp and swallow. But if it is being sold as we...

    The only people I have ever heard use it are these zero oil people. One can infer the direction and destination from that context.

    I love the "China is leading the way" argument. I wonder if she was mentalfloss? A country which is still building coal power plants weekly is not leading the way anywhere.

    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    I don't think pre-medidation is in question here. The officer obviously intended to shoot if he got threatened, The question was he threatened? He put himself in a position to be threatened by standing in front of the car. But I tend to think he could have just as easily jumped to the side and...

    CTV reporter injured covering crash seeks $15.7M in lawsuit

    I bet any money she was a contract or freelance reporter for CTV which likely excludes workers comp. Not sure about the law here about workers comp and suing. I know here suit against the driver won't get too much. Vehicular accidents payouts are highly regulated in theory to keep premiums low...

    CTV reporter injured covering crash seeks $15.7M in lawsuit

    The driver and maybe her employer are the only legitimate targets. But obviously she is talking to a lawyer/ambulance chaser who is casting a big net and hoping to get a quick out of court settlement from one of the other parties.

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    Thanx for clarifying your position. I don't agree with it. I think I have stated my view before. I think this is a case (for me at least) to agree to disagree as I don't see either of us changing the others mind.
