She's spewing lies about Melanie Joly? Maybe she's just jealous.

http://www.quillandquire.com/book-news/2015/11/04/melanie-joly-named-heritage-minister-in-trudeau-cabinet/ I really need to visit Quebec more often.

we'd have 9 wins this year I think. Those close games we lost wouldn't have been so close, especially with the defense playing so well.

Actually, I've been surprised at how many women I've talked to that are not happy about Trudeau's policy either. They don't want hand-outs, they want to be recognized as being just as good as men. Quotas in a lot of ways are slaps in the face to people as it tells them "you are only getting this job because of what you are, not who you are". But what's done is done. What happens in the next election and there are more women than men elected? Will a lot of extremely talented women be excluded from cabinet because of this policy? It really can be a double-edged sword.

Could you hear the disapointment in Mike Johnson's voice as he repeatedly indicated how close Burmi was to only having one skate on the ice coming out of the box as he took the puck. The puck at times really seemed to be jumping off the Jets stick this game, a bit frustrating but what I really enjoyed watching was the Jets taking it to the leafs the last seven minutes or so of the game and Leafs just trying to hang on for overtime. A big part of that is influenced by our coaching. I like it. We're playing to win, not to lose. Yeah that was hilarious how many times they analyzed Burmi's feet to make sure that he had both feet on the ice, and the disappointment was palpable as they just couldn't prove that he didn't have both feet out of the box before he got the puck. Just such homerism. Tonight do we get Beyak doing the play by play? I expect another tough game as Ottawa plays a lot like Montreal.

That Bush, what a war-monger. What's that now? Bush hasn't been president since 2008? Well who's in charge now? Obama?! But but we can't say anything bad about him, that's just not acceptable. This must be someone else's fault. Like Bush for instance. Aw...that feels better. Yes, somehow when Doctors without Borders is speaking, they always find a way to fit in a shot at the Israelis. The US and Israel, the only two nations on earth that ever mistakenly bomb people. No one else ever does. So weird.

That looks awesome!

I am so jealous right now!! Any way to ship some of those to the West Kelowna Walmart? 3x please!

listening to the play by play team on Sportsnet, I thought for most of the game the Jets were down by 5 goals. I got to hear how bad Trouba is, how bad Myers is, what a scumbag Byfuglien is, and yet the score was 2-1 Jets most of the time. Can't wait until Beyak is back...tired of this partisan play-calling.

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.
