Mea culpa.
I have pointed out in the past that. Canada's forests, rather than being a CO2 sink are now producing more GHG's than they are "fixing" because of forest fires. But I am wrong, any gases released from a tree burn is just recycled gases taken out of the atmosphere as it grew - basically a zero sum. That which it used to grow is now returned. It's the same idea behind bio-fuels.The culprit in global warming is the amount of carbon collected over hundreds of millions of years released as carbon dioxide over the last 100 years …

I'm having an interesting time with Telus.
The winds of the last week have bounced the landlines running from the telephone pole to the house off their hooks. The lines are dangling and one is caught up in a crabapple tree. Explaining this to 611 proved extremely hard and took two attempts. Finally a ticket was initiated for them to reattach the line.
Now I keep getting texts that if I fail to meet with the technician, I will be charged $200 - for them to repair their infrastructure. -

Mme Arbour has proven to be prophetic:
"…Critics accuse her of focusing too much on Israel and the United States, leaving the impression that they are abusers on a par with terrorists and tyrants…."

I am struck by the similarities between PM Carney and his Governor General appointment. Both have extensive experience in Canada, Europe and the UN. Both have well developed networks and respect world wide. GG Arbour has intimate knowledge of the Law of Canada especially the Constitution. She understands her roles legal boundaries far better than Antone else in that role.

This is an example of our societies reflex to move to technology to solve a problem. And while more cameras using computer analysis and LiDAR would help, it's simply unnecessary. And simply is the operative term. All it would take is a second line exactly a puck diameter inside the net from the goal line. And if any part of the puck touches the interior line …
It's a goal.

I’m seeing a number of posts on Substack based only on the fears they can pass on to others.
One claims no one reads the Constitution in order to bolster false claims about preventive medicine
Another claims governments are seeding harmful chemicals into the atmosphere so progressives (always progressives) can get rich.
Responded, reported, blocked…
You pays your monies, you can say any irrational you want.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓔𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓻𝓼 𝓢𝓸𝓾𝓵, a short story in the compilation Arcanium Unbounded. It has to be one of the best, if not the best short story I have ever read. It is up there with 𝓐 𝓒𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓷 𝓦𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓛𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓟𝓵𝓪𝓬𝓮 by Hemingway.
Except, structurally, it is much better.
Thank you.

It seems to me to be a no-brainer but should Canada not have an election requirement that any candidate must qualify for a security clearance before being able to sworn in to Parliament? Hell, I had to have a clear criminal record check in order to drive a school bus, surely the making of laws should require at least that. Going further, why would anyone 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓿𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓭 of an indictable offence under the Criminal Code of Canada be allowed to formulate laws of Canada?
With the numbers of people running it would be onerous for
Elections administrators in the designated area to conduct either criminal record checks or a security clearance. However, parties would be careful to make sure if failure to pass resulted in the disqualification of their candidate and the election of the next with most votes. -

Some self-evident truths:
Just because I think it, doesn't make it so
Just because I fear it doesn't make it to be feared
(Corollary- just because I don't fear it doesn't make it safe)
"Doing research" doesn't mean finding videos that agree with me
Politicians lie

The Front Page of the Edmonton Journal storied the capture of a cartel type on ???
I didn't read it. I cancelled my prescription which I used mostly for the cartoons and instead joined GoComics.And traditional media blames anything but their sheer idiocy.

Dear Edmonton election hopefuls:
If you belong to a Party I will NOT vote for you.
I need you to represent my interests not some nebulous group forming your Party.

I've just watched a normally soft spoken CBC interviewer yell at a sports podcaster
