Lots Going On
There were lots of things happening on the weekend, so I’ll mention the wedding on Friday night where local band Tongue and Groove was playing, and they were great.

One. Stop Subsidizing Fossil Fuels
Two. Put a price on carbon. These are two easy things to do in legislation which will have the crucial effect of curbing air pollution. If the market is the…
POS Canadian Government

Heads In the Sand, or Rolling?
I find it to be a very difficult day to be a proud Canadian. If you don’t agree with scientific fact that there is climate change from our pollution, you’ll…
Pointless Gossip

Half Eaten Sandwich Sells for $2

A Spirited Exploration
The Spirit rover didn’t survive a Martian Winter once it became stuck and could not aim its solar panels toward the sun in preparation for colder temperatures. Its lifespan far…

Hope As A Gas
What if we could frack for natural gas without polluting the drinking water tables? I don’t think it’s as easy as this article suggests. Your only concern cannot be the…
Coming recession? Shane Jones at UofR
He was able to take a plane to Spain from Britain for two pounds. I’m sure there will be info that will go over my head at this talk. How…
Lies Don’t Matter
There may be no way to get fired from a cabinet job in the Harper Government. Well, unless Peter MacKay takes off his shoes and throws them at a helicopter…
Standarize Electronics
Electronics work best when there are standards to follow. Without standards we wouldn’t have CDs that could be read in any nearly CD-ROM or DVD drive. We wouldn’t have radios…
Canadian Banks Made Millions from Illegal Secret Fed Loan
The other day I saw a video of Dennis Kucinich, an American Congressman, reviewing a scandal which I thought was years old. It was actually breaking news with important new…

OCCUPY CHRISTMAS! (Santa photo originally from from Tumbleweed:-) and released under Creative Commons license) Santa’s been abusing the 99% elves at his North Pole cold-shop. Lt. Pike comes to the…
Why It’s Better to Know
If you wonder why it’s better to be smart, these smart people spell it out for you in an easy to watch hour and a half of jokes and scientific…
How a Civilization Dies
Our civilization is coming to an end, sooner than later. It won’t end with a war, or a disease, or a flood, but rather with an abandonment of reason and…
Be Like Two – Learn French
There’s nothing better than knowing another language. You can talk to someone else in a way that is exclusive, and special, and express yourself more clearly. I’ve dabbled in learning…
