American lawmakers look to pull out of NAFTA

Forget about the trouble Canada had with the Buy America policy, there is a new game in Washington; it’s called Block Canada. A group of congressmen have given their backing to a bill that if passed, would see President Barack Obama give six-months notice that the United States was withdrawing from the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Poor George Monbiot, UK globull warming pusher extraordinaire.

He despairs, "There goes my life's work."

He may loose his life's work alright - after his day in court.

I bet a lot of sda daily hits originate from Canadian political parties and media.

Thanks, Vitruvius. I would be happy if I could only listen to the music of Stephane Grappelli for the remainder of my life (or Astrud Gilberto or Beethoven or Pink Floyd, for that matter).

Beautiful!

Their lying again... Environment Canada claimed last summer was the hottest ever. Thats why it rained for ten days of my summer holidays in Manitoba. We froze at Lake of The Prairies Asissippi Campground.

A poll which is asking to go 'horribly wrong':

Mr.g - posted "Minorities To Be Majorities In Two Cdn Cities By 2031, Statistics Cda Projects"

This story ran on our local news. The first thing that came to my mind was, I wonder if Caucasians will then become protected under the Human Rights commission - will Caucasians be able to check that little box that asks are you are visible minority? Will Caucasians be chosen over another applicant with the same qualifications because Caucasians are now a visible minority, or is 2031 the year the Human Rights Commission will be declared obsolete, having accomplished its purpose?

Top Canadian immigrant: Sir John A. MacDonald, eh.

By the way the STATSCANADA numbers are total bullshit.
Toronto is ALREADY a White minority city.

Statscan's date of 2031 is when Toronto becomes nearly 70 % NON-WHITE.

"Shock for British holidaymakers in Majorca as island is hit by freak snowstorm

A rare blizzard has struck the Spanish coast and Balearic Islands in some of the worst weather seen in 50 years.

The snow storm swept in on the holiday island of Majorca after causing havoc in Barcelona, the Costa Brava and parts of the French Mediterranean coast."

Roads were closed as up to four inches of snow fell across Majorca and many residents and holidaymakers stayed indoors."

A sixty two year old record and a 4 billion year old climate.

"Environment Canada scientists report that winter 2009/10 was 4 C above normal, making it the warmest since nationwide records were first kept in 1948. It was also the driest winter on the 63-year record, with precipitation 22 per cent below normal nationally, and down 60 per cent in parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario."

"It's beyond shocking," David Phillips, a senior climatologist with Environment Canada, said Tuesday. Records have been shattered from "coast to coast to coast."

Vancouver Sun. March 10th.2010

"What does "statistical significance" really mean?

Many researchers get very excited when they have discovered a "statistically significant" finding, without really understanding what it means. When a statistic is significant, it simply means that you are very sure that the statistic is reliable. It doesn't mean the finding is important or that it has any decision-making utility.

For example, suppose we give 1,000 people an IQ test, and we ask if there is a significant difference between male and female scores. The mean score for males is 98 and the mean score for females is 100. We use an independent groups t-test and find that the difference is significant at the .001 level. The big question is, "So what?". The difference between 98 and 100 on an IQ test is a very small difference...so small, in fact, that its not even important.

Then why did the t-statistic come out significant? Because there was a large sample size. When you have a large sample size, very small differences will be detected as significant. This means that you are very sure that the difference is real (i.e., it didn't happen by fluke). It doesn't mean that the difference is large or important. If we had only given the IQ test to 25 people instead of 1,000, the two-point difference between males and females would not have been significant.

"Significance is a statistical term that tells how sure you are that a difference or relationship exists. To say that a significant difference or relationship exists only tells half the story. We might be very sure that a relationship exists, but is it a strong, moderate, or weak relationship? After finding a significant relationship, it is important to evaluate its strength. Significant relationships can be strong or weak. Significant differences can be large or small. It just depends on your sample size."

According to another study,the muslim population will be at 7% by 2035. That has some serious implications. There is a short flick available on you-tube called "What Islam is Not" that shows what happens in countries as the islamic population increases. It is not pretty.
