  2. billions. the rebuild, repair, permanent damage cost, is another subsidy to oil and gas. not even one year ago... "Historic rain storms that unleashed flooding and debris slides across southern British Columbia in November have left governments, industry and individuals with staggering losses, adding up to what is likely to be Canada’s most costly natural disaster to date. The price of recovering what was lost is nearing $9-billion, according to an analysis by The Globe and Mail, and potentially could be much higher." insured... not ten percent of that. Globe and mail..."preventive measure" ; everything except stop drilling. Alberta is going to be one huge stranded asset soon enough. think that provincei is ugly now? This man, Seth Klein, has a plan for transition. video of his submission to parliamentary finance committee. he also has a book. https://parlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2?fk=11800388#info_
  3. Fiona: https://weather.gc.ca/hurricane/statements_e.html "a. Wind. Most regions will experience hurricane force winds. These severe winds will begin impacting the region late Friday and will continue on Saturday. Similar cyclones of this nature have produced structural damage to buildings. Construction sites may be particularly vulnerable. Wind impacts will be enhanced by foliage on the trees, potentially causing prolonged and widespread utility outages. Hurricane and tropical storm warnings are now in effect for most areas. b. Rainfall. Rainfall will be significant, especially north and west of Fiona's track, where heavy rain could lead to flooding. The highest rainfall amounts are likely for eastern Nova Scotia, southwestern Newfoundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence region. Forecast guidance is suggesting widespread amounts of 100 to 200 mm, but closer to the path of Fiona, more than 200 mm is likely. Some districts have received large quantities of rain recently, and excessive runoff may exacerbate the flooding potential. Road washouts are also possible. Rainfall warnings are now in effect from the Atlantic Storm Prediction Centre for most of Nova Scotia, PEI, and southeastern New Brunswick. c. Surge/Waves. There will be rough and pounding surf, especially for parts of Nova Scotia, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Newfoundland. Large waves will reach the eastern shore of Nova Scotia from the south tonight and build to more than 10 metres. These waves will reach southern Newfoundland by Saturday morning and could be up to or possibly exceeding 12 metres. Some of the waves over eastern portions of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Cabot Strait could be higher than 12 metres. The western Gulf will see waves from the north up to 8 metres in places, which will probably cause significant erosion for north facing beaches of Prince Edward Island. Iles-de-la-Madeleine will also see some coastal erosion from waves." "Fiona’s greatest mark in meteorological history may be its central pressure, which is predicted by multiple operational models to be as low as 925-930 millibars at landfall. This reading would smash the all-time sea-level pressure record for Canada of 940.2 millibars, set in St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, on January 21, 1977. " eye on the storm.
  4. interesting Trump statement yesterday re classified docs, fox interview. "“Because you’re sending it, to Mar-a-Lago or wherever you’re sending it. And there can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president. You make that decision. So when you send it, it’s declassified. I declassified everything.”
  5. it is his greatest hit. it got him the Presidency. so he keeps playing it. Probably gets more money every time. I think most of his fans have brain damage.
  6. it would be interesting to see their written agreement....there must be one.
  7. 75 million, to 750 million? merely a slip of the sharpie! some advice for Mr. Weisman. move into your basement, stay there till Putin is dead. The Trump\Republican\Russian mob ties are the thing I would like investigated. probably too many American bigwigs involved for that.
  8. kudeta...."Kudeta is the customer experience-driven incubator for the horological industry. We seek to identify, enable and support disruptive innovation." very timely post by 1785.
  9. ai art image generation, anyone can use it. online, or download software. just type some words in the dream box, hit "dream" it generates images based on your prompt. https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/dream
  10. My respect for the CBC went down considerably, watching them allow the climate change denier Rex Murphy continue as host of the national call in show. long after he should have been given the hook. embarrasing. I also frequently used to hear "balanced" interviews about it, with guests who thought climate change was a nothing. abysmal.
  11. 600 million 2021. not exactly pocket change. should be enough to allow citizens of Canada to watch the news, on the public broadcaster, which is paid for by us, and which news is important, free of charge. There is no reasonable explanation for this. and, if you have used it, it is in cjob level as far as quantity of ads goes. close to unuseable.
  12. why is CBC allowed to charge for any of it's content? wierd. cant watch their tv news without paying. 😂
  13. observation... I think the Canadian extreme right wing might be getting help from Americans. did anyone find out the source of the covid "convoy" donations? fox news was all over that. That means infiltrating everything public, starting at the local level. so vancouver island is having municipal elections. There are people running in my town, who are maga , supporters of polievre. the cagier of these people will lie, have no platform, hide their agenda, except for platitudes. it worked in the states, it will work here. so, pay attention to the local elections, and school boards. a look at candidate facebook etc, can be informative. someone is helping these people is my hunch. we best watch out for them and try to prevent a foothold.
  14. gaetz didnt do anything wrong, but asks for a pardon, when he has not been charged with a crime.
  15. wonder if we are seeing the effect of the loss of Ryan Ringmaiden now.
  16. mbb after loss
  17. that, and several other takes here so dumb, they must be trolling. or, more likely, hammered.
  18. one db from last season is now starting NFL another, gone to Montreal, Jones? wasnt he top level for us? and, alexander, first game back. no Wilson.
  19. evans no fumbles no int.
  20. run game works, but they dont run enough. not just this game.
  21. collaros is getting hit too much.
  22. on first grey cup bombers d backs stopped playing ten yards back. moved closer to the line. maybe this group just cant do that.
  23. I really enjoyed the score run up last game. Dru Brown td was great.
  24. got this from a site called " the football database" dont know how accurate this is. Duron Carter 2022 games played 8 solo tackles 12 assisted tackles 0 int 1 Duron, giving it his all, for his beloved elks.
