Somehow Stephen Maher has a job at PostMedia. It’s amazing, there is still some honest journalism going on at the husk of former Black-owned newspapers, in 2012 no less. Instead of enlightening people about the treasonous robocalls made in the last general election, this time he’s explaining that climate change

Paulitical Satire: Show and Tell – What I did on my Summer Vacation
Toronto in all it’s glory! So, today is my first day back to work after 10 days of vacay and I must say….it was pretty awesome! My girlfriend and I took part in the time honoured (?) tradition of a “staycation”. Given that we live in the Big Smoke that

… But this lack of precip has to be worrying farmers somewhat! I know I’ve been having to water my small gardens quite often… with great results! And what a great time to go camping. The weather is perfect… dry, not too hot, breezy. Awesome! Enjoy it while it lasts,

temperature map.gif Large portions of the U.S. are on fire. Record droughts currently encompass massive swaths of America. The areas not experiencing droughts have been inundated with flooding. Winter weather in many areas was almost non-existent. A few years ago, an Academy Award-winning film called “An Inconvenient Truth” warned wary Americans

Last week there was an impressive tornado south west of Moose Jaw. Here’s one of the more popular videos of it, brought to you by Saskatoon Scanner who I know going back to the early YouTube days. – A little bolt lightning, but mostly sheet lightning illuminating the clouds sweeping

My bad. I put away the snow shovel before June. Sorry Regina. I saw snowflakes flying in the street lights as I left the Lawson Thursday night. == As you may have noticed, I’m now an aspiring politician as well as a political blogger. We’ll see how my political blogging

A political map of Canada… So, if you follow me on twitter you’ll know, in a relative amount of detail, that I recently traveled across part of Northern Canada from Winnipeg to Toronto. In case you were wondering, my Southern-Ontario kin…this is a stunning, amazing, beautiful, energizing, formidable part of Canada that

So, I want you to take a good hard look at this weather report for the next couple of days and say it with me….YUCK! I know, I know, Canadians love to talk about the weather and it’s super annoying. But whatever! It’s gross outside, it makes me grumpy, and

350.org has a new campaign to bring home the reality of climate change to people in North America. They are asking people to “connect the dots ” on 5/5/12 by protesting, educating, documenting and volunteering along with thousands of people around the world to support the communities on the front

… seriously. 26 degrees in MARCH??? Look, I know that I go on and on about the weather – I am a Canadian, after all – but is this not just a wee bit strange? Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

…Going down in the Valley… Weird for March…

Cash was truly great. I hadn’t heard this song until Tuesday, but it even has caragana bush mentioned in it. Not sure why someone would bed down in it though, it’s really prickly if not the mature branches that would provide little shelter. – Hat tip to OminoCity and SaskNews

… that’s an almost 30 degree swing in the temperature in one day… For Americans, that’s about a 53 F swing! Whatta country! Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

There’s a big yellow and green blob heading our way. Please drive sanely! Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

Most people don’t trust their weather forecaster celebrities to be correct more than 50% of the time. I just made up that statistic, the same way many weathermen have done with comments about climate change during their forecasts. 2011 broke nearly every storm record there was to be broken, and

Picture 2.png Do you get your climate science from your weatherman? If so, you might be the dupe of an ongoing anti-science campaign, played out by some of national television’s most recognizable TV weathercasters – more than half of whom are climate change deniers. It might not be immediately apparent that

Ahhhhhh, it’s so cute when the folks on the West Coast get a magical touch of snow in the middle of winter and the temperature plunges to a frigid -8 C or whatever… I suspect the sledding frolickers and wonderstruck foreigners visiting from even warmer climes might be somewhat less
