From a Government of Saskatchewan press release that quotes Premier Lorne Calvert.
“I am very pleased that former vice-president Gore is coming to Saskatchewan the day after Earth Day,”
(In a nod to famed prairie populist Tommy Douglas, April 23rd is also known as the “day after Lenin’s birthday“).

And all this time we thought it was a scientific issue!
Big Al’s fee is a cool $125K US. The major sponsor? SaskTel. Costs for the venue and advertising will bring the total to around $200K – a “break even” prospect only if all tickets sell.
Which makes the announcement by the premier a little odd – as a crown, the day-to-day operations of SaskTel are supposedly out of scope of politicians.
Of course, it helps if another member of the Saskatchewan Family Of Crown Corporations helps prop up ticket sales;
SaskEnergy is sponsoring 250 tickets enabling Saskatchewan high school and university students to attend as part of their ongoing commitment to supporting environmental education. Teachers interested in sending a team from their school can find registration information online at SaskEnergy’s web site at http://www.saskenergy.com/. All participating student teams will receive a complimentary DVD copy of “An Inconvenient Truth” so they can organize an educational event in their school or community.
That had to hurt. SaskPower is the nation’s number three C02 emitter.
This won’t be Gore’s first Canadian appearance. At Concordia…
The former U.S. vice-president’s speech was effectively his Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth with updated statistics, and presented by an angrier, fist-shaking Gore.
His presentation was halted at least twice as opponents to his agenda began to shout out.
They called him a liar and a villain, and screamed, “What about your swimming pools?” in regards to recent allegations that the monthly electricity bill of Gore’s estate rivalled a year’s bill for the average American home.
But, none of that interests me a whole lot.
What really interests me is knowing whether Mr. Gore is flying into Regina on the pride of the Air Canada Jazz fleet.
Because when it comes to carbon footprints – size matters!
So here’s the deal: I have $50 for the best original, unretouched photo of Al Gore’s plane at Regina airport.
$25 if you can catch him near a limo.
Travellers Advisory: Environment Canada has issued a travel advisory, as the well documented Gore Effect has the potential to push unseasonably cold temperatures the province is currently experiencing to dangeorus lows.
Motorists planning to travel to the event are urged to have an emergency survival kit on board.
Well…..ya nailed the smarmy prick seven ways to sunday.
Awesome and appreciated.
He’s here in Calgary on the 23rd. I will not go to the show unless I can win a pair of ducats on QR.
In that case I shall act accordingly. Fingers crossed.

Damn, and I just paid my phone bill too.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
This is an hour long show but very interesting as we listen to politicians who want to spend money and disrupt economies in order to reduce man-made CO2 emissions. I am sure it will resonate with most SDA readers.

Just when one thinks the Gore/Suzuki side show could not get any crazier, … it does.
Suzuki says the world will end in 10 years !!!?? …. unless, of course, we repent.
I am afraid science will now be held in less esteem than even economics. For at least a generation.
Good on the boo-ers at Concordia. Even in the heart of so-called Kyoto land, they can see through the Kyoto hoax.
The “Goracle” is coming to Saska”Bush”!!
Pack up your children the North and South Saskatchewan are gonna be flooding for sure.
A little late Al, I did my contribution to Saskatchewan on the Nipawin Hydroelectric dam.
GREEN CLEAN POWER with no greenhouse gases.
My father was project manager back in the 80s bringing the fabled Paul Martin ‘highwater’ to the Prairies.
Who needs tsunamis when a hydroelectric dam will do. Highwater indeed!
Oh HELL, the sky is falling! the sky is falling! the “Goracle” said so.

Gee if the guy would turn off his pool heater, I wouldn’t need my WWI Vimy Ridge special, chlorine gas mask!
I dub thee Knight of the Royal Order of Hypocrites
Oh yea that I walk through the valley of Green House Gases.
I shall fear no one, for thy Vimy Ridge gas mask comforts me.
I shall lay down beside the still waters of Nipawin Hydroelectric for thy rod provides many fishes.
I shall look upon the verdant plain of wheat fields, whose Canadian Wheat Board obstructs my fortune, and say “Barley is upon me”.
Your rail cars sit idle, for what does it profit a farmer to plant his grain and lose his soul?
And the Land of Many Nations shall load up their muskets and march along the Sioux, Cheyenne, Assiniboine, Cree, and Blackfoot to drive the scurrilous Yankee dogs from the land.
In the name of God, I shall summon a mighty NORTH WIND from the wilds of Hans Island, that no plane shall land. THE “HUNS” OF CANADA shall give you no quarter and the carbon credit fraudsters shall find no respite in the TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE.

I had to laugh at Lynwood Barkway who was on the Michael Coren show this week and still held on the the Global Warming Charade and infered the GWSwindle from the UK was a big lie and the debate is over , Barkley defended his stance with the obsurd claim that anyone can gather a group of Climate experts that agree with their view just to produce a documentary as if it was factual.
YES Lynwood……that’s exactly the problem , Al Gore has pulled a “Michael Moore” scam by piecing together little bits of Truths in a way that creates the outcome he wants to push on the world.
Plus, when Coren mention about having Dr.Ball and others do a show on Global warming , Lynwood laughed off Mr.Ball as if he was a kook and Climate change denier.
Lynwood professes to be a Journalist , but keep in mind his vast pool of wisdom is printed in the Red-Toronto Star which still reports about a Harper Hidden-Agenda , plus the Star now reports Maher Arar as completely innocent and the USA has no evidence against him.
But how quickly the US Dems turned against Arar this week, check out this article about Pelosie going to Syria to make peace and help dispell the myth of how bad Syria is with all those allegations of torture that people like Arar fabricate.
http://www.islamic-world.net/read.php?ArtID=9877
Bet you she doesn’t even mention Maher Arar or the 3 other Canadians that alleged Torture.
Arar got $10 million from canada so why rock the boat now with a 2008 Election coming up.
Economy of [ Hybrid] Scale..
The world*s 3 biggest are getting to one standard for drop in modules. A Japanese idea?
I don*t like all eggs in one basket. Isn*t that what flattened Russia?
Global Hybrid Cooperation
General Motors, DaimlerChrysler and the BMW Group have formed a cooperative effort called the Global Hybrid Cooperation, which is actively developing this next generation hybrid powertrain system.
In an alliance of equals, all three partners are pooling expertise and resources to jointly and efficiently develop hybrid technology. Each company will individually integrate the full hybrid system into the design and manufacturing of vehicles in accordance with their brand specific requirements.
In Troy, Mich., the *GM, DaimlerChrysler and BMW Hybrid Development Center* houses together engineers and specialists from all three companies to develop the complete hybrid system and the individual components —
electric motors, high-performance electronics, wiring, energy management, and hybrid system control units. In addition, the *GM, DaimlerChrysler and BMW Hybrid Development Center* will be responsible for system integration and project management. =========== Chry/Daimler
The plot is to sell engines in hybrids and stave off pure EVs as long as posssible.
You don*t fool me, youse guys. = TG
Hey Al Gore… Welcome to Canada. A small Boeing 737 holds 25,000 litres of fuel , so when you stop at Regina Airport make sure to say “Filler Up” Same thing in Calgary and all your other stops. You see Al , by doing that you prevent any Canadian from using the fuel to drive to work and adding to global warming. Heck of a good idea Al. Thanks for saving Canada . Come often !! Bring Suzuki next time !!
matbe calvert can buy carbon offsets from gore and strong’s new company that way he can just keep on keepn on.
Fuhgedabout Rev. Lorne and the Goreacle. It’s over, folks. On your knees; repent. It’s “type 2” climate change. Fred knows. May Gaia bless you and keep you… …-
“Fred Pearce, of the New Scientist, has spent the past two years speaking to climate experts who are studying the possibility of “type 2″ climate change – abrupt, catastrophic and irreversible.” …-
Welcome to Mediterranean Scotland in 5 years time?

Many thanks to Lorne Calvert for your kind words of welcome for the global warming expert visiting your province. Tell Mr Gore sorry for the unusually cold weather lately but we will “keep the heat on ” for him. Thank you also Mr Calvert , for pointing out in your press release that climate change is a “moral Issue”. At one time I didnt think the political left had any morals at all . Guess I was wrong. Sorry !!
me very simple person
me find it very cold outside today
me sees snow on the ground, and it is april in southern Ontario
me remembers other aprils when it was very warm(my first born child – march 31 – so this time of the year is very memorable to me)so warm in fact that I made some furniture in a non-heated worshop
me thinks it is getting colder, not warmer
oh, that’s right, dr fruit fly(how much has he wallowed at the public trough?) has changed it to climate change from global warming, after he changed it from global cooling to global warming……please, someone tell me the truth, I am thinking of buying a campground, but will the season get longer or shorter?
Can Tire has ordered a huge stock of tents, candles, etc. from Mao Stlong’s Camping Warehouse Inc., China, via Omaha. COD. …-
Kyoto goals more strict than we’ve been told, experts say
Much-touted 26%-reduction goal won’t get Canada to 5-year average

Why not boycott the whole thing? Let the fat ass speak his blather in an empty room, let his words ring hollow.
Give Ralphy and Steffawn and Suzkookie front row seats. They could put Wayne Potato Head Easter in the back as the cheer leader.
here in snowy grey/bruce Ont, we have snow squall warnings no road closures, Yet!
Our public education system has jumped on the man-made global warming bandwagon by compelling our children to watch Gore’s piece of hysterical fiction. But they are not providing equal time and opportunity for students to watch productions such as ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ which refute the Gore and Suzuki theories. Education has become indoctrination and every right thinking citizen should be very concerned.
Presumably he could transmit his message digitally and “hold the carbon”.
As we enter our fifth day of snow and below zero temperatures in Alberta, I am hoping that The Failed Presidential Candidate and The Fruit Fly Guy bring some of their “global warming” along with them to their dog and pony show.
At least all that Hot Air might be just the thing to blow this cold out so we can actually have a few months of spring and summer before the next winter sets in.
we rejoin the story thus far.
Dr. Bono Suzuki is sunning his buns on Quadra island after the GlobiHorrorshow Global big bus tour success. Meanwhile Al Gore does his part in the Carbon Cycle by eating a high carb diet suitable for a sumo wrestler.
In other parts of Canada , the second coldest place on earth the people have yet to have been told that with the Cretian promise of 20% reduction in what is now officially called “grin ‘ouse gizzes” and a 15% increase in population that everyone in the entire country will have to turn their furnace off.
Hidden on this morning’s page 16:
Headline: “Global warming hits Mars, too: study”
“PARIS – Global warming could be heating Mars four times faster than Earth because of a mutually reinforcing interplay of windswept dust and changes in reflected heat from the sun, according a study published yesterday. Scientists have long observed a…” MARLOWE HOOD AGENCE FRANCE- PRESSE
The Gazette | 05 Apr, 2007 | Page: 16″
Yesterday, it was global species extinction all caused by CO2. Today, Mars is warming…
I wonder if anyone will make the connection?
Has Al Gore been to Mars???
“Costs for the venue and advertising will bring the total to around $200K – a “break even” prospect only if all tickets sell.”
Don’t fret, Kate. Not a problem.
First Little Lorne brings in the Stones, now the Goracle. Hmmm….anyone else notice a little Roman Entertainment Effect? Stock the coliseum with acts to entertain the masses and maybe they won’t notice the bullsh*t the corrupt politicians are trying to pull.
If it’s a moral issue…
Then the government probably shouldn’t be imposing its morals on everyone because they don’t believe in that right?
Access govt. grants to study the stupidity of the human mind that could beleive this communist spew from gore and suzuki. Oh I wish that were true, as of April 5 here in Alberta it is cold enough to kill new calves and freeze the ears of older ones, please bring on the warming, or I guess I have to wait 10 years according to suzuki.
Crabgrass said, “Don’t fret, Kate. Not a problem.”
More proof to the adage that there’s a sucker born every minute, and two to take ’em.
From a dedicated southern Ontario ice fisherman, experiencing his longest season, and the best hard solid ice in recent memory, I’d like to say, Thanks Algore.
Keeping yapping.
Still drillin.
So are you turning out to boo Algore when he darkens the Sask climate Kate?
Yukon Gold said: “More proof to the adage that there’s a sucker born every minute, and two to take ’em.”
I ask, what kind of proof?
“I don’t know, a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof, it’s a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof it’s because it’s proven.” -JC the Shawiniganian and Librano
Makes me laugh every time. 🙂
“Yesterday, it was global species extinction all caused by CO2. Today, Mars is warming…
I wonder if anyone will make the connection?”
Al Gore, of course, already did. When confronted with the ice caps melting on Mars, he replied that what we are doing on earth is unbalancing the Universe. (National Post)
Based on that statement, I can only think of one thing that’s unbalanced.
Arrgh. This so enrages me, but is something that we apparently have had to get used to in Saskatchewan. Our mentally challenged premier, Calvert, is having trouble distinguishing between private and public endorsements (i.e. SaskTel funding this crap, along with SaskEnergy).
Please, NDP, call a vote so we can kick you so far out on your a$$ you won’t know what hit you.
Actually Gore is desperately needed in Alaska, where the interior has been 16F below normal temperatures for all of March.
And some other parts are drowning in a sea of snow. Up to 50% over normal.
Ah yes , the Gleissberg solar cycle is real after all.
Next we go for some serious glacier building.
Maybe I should try and get a complimentary copy of “an inconvienient truth” from the Gore-bot. The DVD after you watch it and laugh at it has several uses:
-As a decorative coaster
-As an attachment for a wind chime
-As a target for sighting in your rifle or for skeet shooting
-As a frisbee
-As something to give to your worst enemy
-As something to send back to Gore with a nasty note
Gorebot is the biggest hypocrite this side of parliament and congress.
Williams spends 250,000 on an ad campaign. Calvert spends 125,000 to bring Gore here.
If this is how they spend our transfer money, time to stop it all. If Gore was so sure of his message, why doesn’t he do it for free. What does Suzuki get for an appearance. Finally the truth is out, they are just greedy capitalists who have found a way to steal from the people.
we rejoin the story in Saskatchewan where the Rocky Gorror Picture Show has arrived to tell an agricultural economy why warm soil is bad. Needing help and fearing dissidence from the local pipples , the airlifted band of doomists has called in the reunion tour of the 1910Fruitfly Company , with their one an only hit “Yummy Yummy Yummy Ive got Subsidies in my Tummy “with their new lead singer and part time nudist Dr. Bono Suzuki.
Forlorne (Che) Calvert wearing a pink jumpsuit instead of his usual red kicks off the celebration with a modified version now called
“Nous sommes les Champingnon” doing a freddy mercury send up in the Queen City in a simulcast over the new all Sask internet.
Gore is a traveling act, an entertainment.
The sheeple buy a ticket just as they would for a movie.
Buy some Led and compact florescents and an electric car or hybrid and Save Your Money.
The climate will take care of itself.= TG

I thought politics and religion were to be kept separate! Al, a divinity school dropout appears to be making a pretty good living at being a flim flam man — scaring school children and pseudointellectuals.
Irwin Daisy:
Where is the quote attributed to Al Gore; “unbalancing the universe”? I would love to read it in full context.
THAT comment is pure entertainment….
Kate: No time to read the comments at the moment, but that’s an awesome package you put together in your trademark large live animals style!
At the bottom of the Govey Press release is a party hacks email address, (to give you more information) I took the opportunity to send a message, that was definitely not supporting having that political hypocrite in the province. Maybe a few more can take the time to do likewise.
Ha cal2
Do ya pay GST on that stuff yer smoking?
😉
It’s strange SaskPower didn’t sponsor it instead. I’m not completely in favour of the government paying for this by proxy, but it has the nice side effect of being a thumbed nose to the crowd who brays that they are going to go out to their driveway and idle their vehicles to protest pollution awareness campaigns.
Totally agree with maryT.
Thank Goodness I changed my phone company. At least I feel better now that Sask Tel is not getting my money anymore.
Williams and Calvert should be paying for all their foolishness out of THEIR own pockets.
It’s all disgusting.
EarlW.. Can’t you figure it out. It is the heat off our warming planet radiating through space that is heating Mars. It’s that hot here ya know.
Rockyt:
“Gore is desperately needed in Alaska, where the interior has been 16F below normal temperatures for all of March.

They don’t call it climate CHANGE for nothing, do they?
JimC,
When I read it, I almost fell off my chair. You should probably try a search at National Post, or google it.
I posted this here, November 19th, 2006
“Andrew Coyne had a funny op/ed in the post yesterday. Apparently, Al Gore believes that what mankind is doing on earth is unbalancing the universe.”
Saskboy said, “They don’t call it climate CHANGE for nothing, do they?”
Nope, not for nothing. It’s their weasel word to allow them to flog anything off as a sign of the Inconvenient Apocalypse.
Heck, I bet I could find half a dozen experts to claim the reason that Winnipeggers are freezing their dingles off instead of raking their lawns right now is Global Warming.
To believe global warming isn’t man made is one thing, but to suggest that it doesn’t exist at all buy putting up a five day weather forecast for one city, shows a deep ignorance of the problem we are facing.
It’s not surprising that those who make the most money from emitting carbon in this country also happen to be the same ones showing the greatest degree of denial about man made global warming. Let us not forget that Alberta and Saskatchewan will likely pay the biggest price of all Canadian provinces because of an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Just because you don’ like Al Gore doesn’t mean his message isn’t real
Al Gore the unhinged hypotcrit i understand someone has challenged him to a debate over this so called global warming and guess what CHICKEN LITTLE AL probibly will decline
