Reader Tips 24 Comments

In tonight’s video amusement en route to the Tips we watch the trailer for Savage Guns, the groundbreaking 1961 film that simultaneously heralded, and ended, a new film genre: the vaguely, ever-so-slightly, almost imperceptibly gay western.
The comments are open, as always, for your Reader Tips.

  1. “A construction crew working on the campus of Ohio’s Sinclair Community College was forced to halt work until it removed a ‘Men Working’ sign that was deemed sexist by a college administrator…”

  3. Daniellle Smith was on P’n’P with Evan Solomon talking about Alison Redford’s recent troubles with ethics and a possible conflict of interest.
    It appears,from my vantage point,that the Speaker ruled that Alison did not lie to the legislature because she truly believed that she wasn’t lying. Or in other words,she is a sociopath. There is a paper trail that clearly shows her involvement in the decision.
    Evan attempted to link Ms. Smith and the Wild Rose party with “Big Tobacco” but that did not work. He really didn’t try too hard,I think that even he saw that ploy as feeble.

  17. I agree ” EBD at December 4, 2012 10:07 PM”
    a “men working” sign should never be displayed near ANY community College.

  19. “Gay” western, would that be 1961 gay(happy) or 2012 fruit flick? Unless I missed something in the trailer it looked like a so-so B western.

  21. “One-day teacher strikes to hit northeastern Ontario boards Monday

    “Society never retreats or retrenches except under compulsion, usually of a severe type, such as is furnished by war, pestilence, or famine. Like the French in Russia, it does not understand such tactics, does not know anything about them, and bitterly resents the thought of applying them, even when they are most obviously the only ones that can show any chance whatever of relieving the situation that society confronts.
    Well then, since this is so, since society never does and apparently never can apply this strategy, what is the use of talking about it? If the discussion is academic, why waste
    time over it?”

  22. The globe and others are reporting that First Nations Haisla has become the Enbridge beachhead. This is a great development for those of us in favour of the pipeline. We have a beginning (Fort Mac) and an end (Kitimat). It gets better…
    In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross pointed to “public statements by CFN (Coastal First Nations) earlier this year on the Northern Gateway Pipeline and last month with regard to power for proposed LNG projects in Haisla territory.”
    The Haisla did not recount what those statements were, but said they “directly conflict with Haisla positions, may mislead those looking to do business in our territory, and disregard our autonomy as a nation.”
    Part of the dispute is grounded in the techniques used to compress and liquefy natural gas for export – and what greenhouse gas emissions result. Coastal First Nations has called for the use of electric drives to do the compression. Those drives can be powered using hydro and, they said, are cleaner than so-called “inside the fence” techniques that use “mechanical drives – so you … light a match to the gas and you use that to compress gas,” according to Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations.
    “The CO2 output on that at a minimum is double the CO2 output of electric drives outside the fence,” he said in an interview Wednesday.
    I would like to add that requiring Enbridge to buy hydro from the grid places their power services and reliability in the hands of a crown corporation instead of buying back from themselves a portion of the sales gas for their compressor engines. Maybe Enbridge should apply for co-generation and supply their own power for the electric drives and sell the surplus back to the grid. They are going to need steam anyways for plant processes. The power supply game is a way for BC gov to control, shakedown and extort from the “dirty polluters”. I’m sure Christy Clarke et al have a number per shipped barrel that a royalty would pay but they are going to back door it in other costs to enbridge and the producers.

    “China’s new leader, Xi Jinping, has issued a call for action to realize “the cause of national rejuvenation,” which he describes as “the greatest dream for the Chinese nation in modern history.””

    “The escape from uncertainty: a theory of liberalism
    [“To liberals, as to gnostics, the real world is variously senseless, meaningless, random, weird, off-putting, alienating, false, and malevolent.
    To end the alienation, they must take control of the world and reconstruct it into a new world of which they are the masters and gods, controlling all, knowing all.
    They end their alienation by becoming themselves the all-powerful embodiment of all truth—again, a classic gnostic operation.””
