What difference does it make who said what about whom? Did you actually read what he said? Doesn't any of it resonate? For $570 million mankind could save 300,000 lives a year from horrible malaria deaths. But instead it is going into solar panels. Doesn't that say anything, like maybe our priorities are skewed? Oh forget it. I realize I am wasting my time.

Dude!!! Waiting for season to be over to do Homeland marathon - no spoilers please!

Whose Tee hee

He's from Vernon, cut him some slack...

I am 114th in Canada right now in the quest for a Joseph Abboud suit. I thought I could start Davis this week and win the suit as I assume he's going to throw for 8 TD's and 712 yards (one short of Dunigan's record). But....sadly, TSN doesn't have him as a QB option. What a surprise.

Our MP for Kelowna was in the running apparently to get a cabinet post, but for some reason, he was over-looked. Not sure why, he's sure qualified. I really don't understand why Inspector Clouseau is in charge of Foreign Affairs. That one has me scratching my head. As if we don't already look weak-kneed enough with Shiny Pony as PM.

Is there a way to target it specifically toward Millenials? Hee hee...and they wouldn't even see it coming either as they'd all be glued to their I-phones...

Less rapidly then what? We're at 19 years and counting of no warming.

Just as people that state that there should be a debate about not just if AGW is real, but what should be done about it, shouldn't be rolled on either. Here's an excellent post from another forum I follow on this topic, in response to a warmist:

This is just applying a simplistic comment to a much bigger issue. First of all, the climate is always changing, so of course anyone saying that climate doesn't change is ignorant of basic facts. There is that giant glowing ball in the sky that emits energy on a non-consistent basis that has a huge effect on our climate. Sun burns hotter, suddenly we have a warm period. Sun burns cooler, suddenly there's an Ice Age. Amazing how that works. Now there's the entire subject of man-caused climate change. Is man affecting climate? If so, by how much? And if so, what can done about it? So far not one prediction from the so-called experts has come true. The UN has had egg on its face so many times on this issue that they've given up on predictions. So the question I had was simple - if you believe in man-caused climate change, what do you want to do about it? Other nations have shown that carbon-trading scams, taxes and other methods of "fighting" man-caused CC are useless, and have just caused billions of dollars of taxpayer cash to be diverted from much better and more solvable world problems. Should we be spending billions? Trillions? Nothing? Bjorn Lomborg had a great take on this subject, just a few weeks ago:

Conspiracy theorists are going to love this one. The CIA must have planted the bomb, made it look like ISIS, all to make Russia go after ISIS.

well it looks good if we are sending hundreds of people to the Paris Climate party at taxpayer expense, anyway.

But wait. On a "per capita" basis Canada is one of the biggest emitters in the world. Never mind the fact that Canada is largely an extremely cold climate, requiring heat for humans to survive, never mind that we are extremely sparsely populated over the second biggest country on earth, and never mind that our overall yearly total CO2 emitted is exceeded by China in a few days/hours. Never mind all of that. On a "per capita" basis we emit more CO2 than Indonesians, and so somehow we have to cut emissions, by freezing in the dark and starving to death, to show just how committed we are, and to soothe all of those guilty consciences out there.

LOL - I always say when someone pulls this word out of their arse that they have basically "Godwinned" the discussion and might as well have said that I am on par with Hitler. Such a cop-out to just drop this word into a discussion about man-made climate change, and what the actual effects are on the global climate. My main point was that I am curious how much money people here think we as Canadians should be devoting to "fighting" man-made climate change, considering overall Canada's contribution to the man-made CO2 total (including those horrible "tar sands") is the equivalent of a mouse-fart. Should it be hundreds of millions? Billions? Hundreds of billions? How much is enough to sate the screams of agony from the doom-sayers? When will your guilty consciences be made whole? How much has to be poured down the man-made climate change black hole that will be enough to make all of those other countries that are already wasting billions on this issue accept us into the man-made climate change panicky idiot club? I am just asking the question.

So the ministry of Environment has now adopted the same name as other countries, it's now "Environment and Climate Change". Fantastic.

As long as I don't have to fill out the damn thing again. Took forever and I didn't like some of the questions. I feel the same way about doing my tax returns. LOL - me too. I don't think I've ever been asked to do a long-form census.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6L_XvLZcqI Here's an interview of Dr. Cullen on the CBC - check out the Youtube comments. Just brutal! "I hope he gets murdered". Just unbelievable.

This from another political site that I follow: Why stop at gender? How about age? 20-something year olds make up X% of the population, so they should make up X% of cabinet. Aboriginals make up 5% of population, so they should represent 5% of cabinet. Muslims make up 3%, Jews 1%, so let's represent them accordingly as well. JWs make up 2% of the population, so they need to be represented as well. Yes, they don't believe in voting or serving in government, but equality trumps religious convictions. What about lawyers, they make up 1% of the population, so let's stop giving them 15% of the cabinet positions. 1% of the population is homeless, so there should be at least one homeless person in cabinet for every lawyer. 10% of Canadians are virgins (largely concentrated on web forums and in politics), so they need to be represented at cabinet. 5% of the population is made up of criminals, so government needs to reduce the number of criminals in cabinet down to 5%. 50% of the population is made up of complete @#$@ morons, so we need that segment represented in cabinet as well.

Yeah it nothing to do with every song sounding almost identical...

Sweden, the envy of all those who honestly think socialism is a good thing. Feel free to move there. Please. BLEEDING HEART JOURNALIST: Enters Muslim ‘NO GO’ Zone, Now Something Else Is Bleeding A few more stories like this one, and we can safely say that Sweden will no longer be that poster child for why Socialism is the better way forward. Scratch that: actually, a few more stories like this one, and Sweden might no longer exist. It all started simply enough: with wrong-headed Progressive assumptions. In this instance, some neighborhoods were chucking rocks at police. One journalist applied the modern journalistic methods to the situation: find out who wronged them so badly that they have taken to chucking rocks. Naturally, they must have a reason — right? It’s just a matter of hearing their side of the story. That is the story for which Ms. Valentina Xhaferi went looking. She found it. In the middle of one of Stockholm’s “no-go” zones, she found one resident willing to discuss that “other side of the story” on camera. They met in the agreed-on public space, and set up for filming. A passer-by asked why they were filming, and was told. So he grabbed a few friends. And a few rocks. Things turned ugly pretty quickly. She wanted to get away. They hurled insults, splashed the cameraman with coffee, kicked over their equipment, which they caught on film. She tried reason. “It was impossible to calm them down. I pulled back and tried to calm down everyone, while trying to get my colleague and myself out of there.” Then someone chucked a stone. They finished the report a week later … this time with police escort. In relating her story, she unwittingly identified what’s really happening here. “They thought we crossed the limit and that we were standing on their land.” Nowhere in the story does it mention identifying characteristics of this “foreign born” community. But we are told that this particular “no-go” zone consists of upwards of 70% “foreign-born” residents. (Statistics tell us that some 40,000 people live within Tensta, a suburb of Stockholm.) Other zones actually boast nearly 100% foreign-born residents. It wasn’t hard to find which reports she was seeking the “other side”. Police claims that lone squad cars won’t even pursue criminals into certain neighborhoods. Swedish law simply doesn’t apply there. Shariah is enforced, instead. There are, police estimate, 55 “no-go” zones in Sweden. They are by no means the only European country that has them. And remember: that was before the wave of humanity began spilling into Europe. Is it genuinely “compassionate” to have areas of a city where the rule of law is not enforced, and not enforceable? And to whom are the adjudicators of Sharia, themselves, accountable? http://clashdaily.com/2015/10/say-good-bye-to-sweden-journalist-pitied-rioters-but-was-shocked-when-this-happened/

But if you believe that, you won't buy carbon credits and put money into Al Gore's fat pockets. And we can't have that.

Too many completely made-up stories. And therein lies the problem. The fear-mongering about nuclear power is off the charts, and it's almost completely unwarranted. Especially since people are still telling stories from the 1960's and 1970's. If people stopped traveling by air because a few planes crashed, then no one would ever have found safer ways to build airplanes. Yet more people were killed in that Russian plane crash on the weekend then have ever been directly killed by nuclear power. Plane crash remnants do not last long. Nuclear accidents last for centuries. There's a cement mountain in Ukraine. They've frozen the ground around Fukishima. Nuclear waste? Right, and you are talking about old technology. Fukishima was built on a fault line. Just pointing at mistakes of the past doesn't mean that we can't move forward and fix what went wrong in the past. I just am so not a fan of being a coward when there is so much potential for so much cheap energy that could benefit all mankind, and pull everyone out of poverty that is still there in so much of the world.

I've been to five Grey Cups (four in Vancouver) and I think the only half-time act I watched was in Calgary in 2000 when the Guess Who was performing, but that was because the guy beside me had spilled his beer and I was frozen to my metal seat.

Super Dogs and a Tae-Kwan Doe exhibition in which the demonstrators do high-kicks across the entire field. That was cool.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/dustin-byfuglien-hearing-suspension-hit-head-brendan-gallagher-winnipeg-jets-montreal-canadiens/ LOL - 24% have voted for 5 or more game suspension. Must be the wimpy Canadiens fans.
