  1. I just don't share this sense of sheer hopelessness and doom. I've seen too many scams come and go, and this is just yet another scam. This is all about power and control, and nothing to do whatsoever with the environment.
  2. Maybe ask a WW2 veteran how "perfect" that equivalent is. I doubt he/she would agree with you.
  3. LOL - yes, anything that questions an engrained confirmation bias must be a "waste of time". We fully understand that.
  4. Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem. The survey results show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here) revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims. According to the newly published survey of geoscientists and engineers, merely 36 percent of respondents fit the “Comply with Kyoto” model. The scientists in this group “express the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause.” The authors of the survey report, however, note that the overwhelming majority of scientists fall within four other models, each of which is skeptical of alarmist global warming claims. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2013/02/13/peer-reviewed-survey-finds-majority-of-scientists-skeptical-of-global-warming-crisis/#2c7e8a724c7c
  5. Well that was a quick whistle and a bad no goal call.
  6. Warren KinsellaTHE “FEMINIST” PMO WOULDN’T BE STUPID ENOUGH TO FORCE FEMALE LIBERAL MPS TO PUBLISH IDENTICAL “PERSONAL” MESSAGE OF SUPPORT, WOULD THEY?Well, actually, they would be that stupid. They are that stupid.Spotted by my sharp-eyed pal Sean Craig: PMO told female Liberal MPs to post personal messages about what a swell feminist he is – presumably to offset the growing Celina controversy. Except a couple of the MPs just did a cut and paste. Oops!The next thing you know, they’ll be lining up all kinds of people to write op-eds!
  7. Sheila Copps proves that she is suffering from dementia...
  8. And we aren't Barack Obama either.
  9. So Alex Cord is now the last Airwolf standing...

  11. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/03/08/analysis/hidden-key-snc-lavalin-scandal This is fascinating. All Canadians need to read this article.
  12. Ilhan Omar: Obama’s a ‘pretty face’ who got ‘away with murder’ Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar ripped former President Barack Obama in an interview published Friday, belittling his “pretty face” and saying his agenda of hope and change was an illusion. She cited the “caging of kids” at the Mexican border and the “droning of countries around the world” on Obama’s watch — and argued that he wasn’t much different from President Trump “We can’t be only upset with Trump,” the freshman firebrand told Politico Magazine. “His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was,” Omar said. “And that’s not what we should be looking for anymore. We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.” The explosive comments about a man lionized by Democrats were only the latest in a series of incendiary statements that have put the national spotlight on Omar, a Somali-American Muslim who spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya after her family fled the violence in their homeland. In February, her second month in office, Omar responded to a tweet about House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy’s threats to punish her and another congresswoman for criticizing Israel. “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” she tweeted, a line from a Puff Daddy song about $100 bills. Critics said Omar was perpetuating a hateful trope about Jewish Americans and money. She recently got into another hot mess after another tweet was slammed by some as anti-Semitic. The ensuing firestorm rattled the Democratic House majority and spurred days of recriminations and tense negotiations that led to the compromise package condemning bigotry that sailed through the House on Thursday, with only 23 Republicans voting against it. The party’s leftist wing, led by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said Omar was being singled out when others at the highest levels of government had said things that were worse and escaped censure. More moderate Dems, including Jewish lawmakers such as New York’s Eliot Engle, wanted the resolution to focus only on anti-Semitism as a direct response to Omar’s comment, which questioned the loyalty of politicians who accept donations from pro-Israel PACs and organizations. Ultimately, after days of chaos and acrimony, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was able to unite her caucus — and box in a big majority of Republicans — to back the compromise. And Omar — along with Rashida Tlaib of Michigan the first Muslim women in Congress — said she’s willing to keep speaking out and be a Republican punching bag if it helps advance her agenda, a prospect that likely makes many of her fellow Democrats cringe. https://nypost.com/2019/03/08/ilhan-omar-obamas-a-pretty-face-who-got-away-with-murder/
  13. We know how to handle Mark Stone...
  14. People I know in the Manitoba government said that the NDP motto for hiring was "if it takes two people to do the job, let's hire five".
  15. On why he decided to leave the government Randy Boissonnault (Liberal): Mr. Butts, if you did nothing wrong, why did you resign? Butts: … I think I was put in a position where I had to ask my colleagues to fight another colleague over accusations a colleague was making, and I think that put the prime minister in an impossible position given the nature of our friendship. https://nationalpost.com/news/if-you-did-nothing-wrong-why-did-you-resign-what-mps-asked-gerald-butts
