About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Reality bites, poor quality data evident from misleading H. Clinton's support.
Add that along with their political censorship growing. The most blatant banning Milo's twitter account. He an editor of Beitbart News, who trumps the MMSM regularly.
Yes, Twitter stock is much overvalued.

They've got the look and sound nailed in the trailer, hope the film is as good.

China's smoggiest city closed schools Wednesday as much of the country suffered its sixth day under an oppressive haze, sparking public anger about the slow response to the threat to children's health.
Since Friday a choking miasma has covered a large swathe of northeastern China, leaving more than 460 million gasping for breath.

The internet must really, really be close to being finished. Too many people with nothing better to do have amazing amounts of time and computing horsepower at their command. And it is (sort of) seasonal. But I bet you watch it 'till the end, just to see who wins:

I didn't like Blade Runner at first. It wasn't until I saw what I believe was the director's cut on TV several years later (which didn't have Deckard's narration, by the way). I was quite impressed by what I saw and now it's one of my favourite SF movies.
The original set a high standard, so people will be expecting a lot from the sequel.
High Speed Internet is a basic Human Right in Canada:
CRTC declares that "Everyone in Canada should be able to access high-speed Internet". "The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruled Wednesday that broadband Internet with download speeds of at least 50 megabits per second and upload speeds of at least 10 Mbps will now be considered a “basic telecom service.”
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/crtc-rules-high-speed-internet-a-basic-telecom-service/article33405960/
Who is going to pay for 50 MB/S download speed for bored shut-ins in Iqaluit? Not us, it's going to be the large internet providers and the government. And neither would even think of passing the cost on to consumers/taxpayers because the former exist solely as an extension of the UN Human rights Commission and the latter simply has to print more money.
How much is it going to cost. The article doesn't say but in an interview on the radio this morning a spokesperson for the Affordable Access Coalition calculated the price to enable this is $2 billion to $5 billion dollars. Because we don't have enough debt already.

It is as though they teach them to talk a lot, which in pure law of silly, inevitably leads one to begin to talk in circles and spins into vortex of stupidity.

"Like Milton, *Cromwell was a fervent advocate for liberty of conscience against the "force" of civil power."
"Milton met Galileo, for the first and only time, in a 1638 visit that Jonathan Rosen compared to “those comic book specials in which Superman meets Batman.”"

"How John Milton Invented Sci-Fi in the 1600s"
"At Brow Beat, we’re big science fiction fans and we thought the Yuletide would be a great time to pay homage to a Christian thinker who also happened to beget one of our favorite genres. That’s because John Milton—poet, free speech advocate, civil servant, classics scholar—was arguably a forefather to Asimov, Bradbury, Delaney, and the rest."

TORONTO - Byron Nelson has spent over three decades growing his manufacturing company in Ontario, only now to regret his choice.
...he explains he’s losing a battle with the province. His hydro bills have soared over the past year and with Ontario’s new cap-and-trade system coming into effect next month, electricity and natural gas costs will likely spike by another 20%.

"Once there was a land called Rhodesia which was known as
the 'Breadbasket of Africa'. Social justice replaced it with
Zimbabwe, the history of which can be... wait for it, folks...
summed up in three headlines..."
*
The original 'Blade Runner' with the narration was best.
I didn't find that the narration added much to the story. As I understand, Ridley Scott didn't want it but was over-ruled.
That's hardly surprising. I remember when, in the late 1990s, he allowed "war veterans" to seize white-owned farms. Many of those "veterans" were violent young thugs bent on theft and destruction.
The Obama administration fired a top scientist, intimidated other staff, censored important information from Congress for political reasons, and waged “a reckless and calculated attack on the legislative process itself,” U.S. lawmakers concluded in a blistering new report about Obama's scandal-plagued Department of Energy. All of it was done in order to advance Obama's controversial “climate-change” agenda, according to congressional investigators.
The shocking revelations about the Obama administration’s lawless attempts to pursue its “global-warming” regulatory regime at all costs were exposed in a congressional staff report released this week by the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. According to the document, a top Energy Department (DOE) scientist, Dr. Noelle Metting, was fired from her job for providing honest and accurate information to Congress beyond the pre-approved “talking points” provided by Obama’s minions at the bureaucracy.

The Trump Extinction: the die-off of the Press.
"The press has been urged not to normalize Trump, to sustain a tone of scandalized dismay whenever we write about him."
...-
"The Wry, Mournful Art of the Trump Press Pool Report
A close reading."
"In the Trump era, the mild, helpful tongue of the press pool must repeatedly narrate its own humiliation."
"Once upon a time, pool communications meant the system was working. They meant that leaders were cooperating and that transparency prevailed, no matter how banal the particular tidings. But now, the pool report has begun to feel like a parody, the contrivance of a more innocent politics applied to a nuclear fiasco. There’s a sense of helpless complicity, Trump’s media adversaries (as he’s cast them) reduced to reciting arrivals and departures like the smartboard at a bus depot, obediently noting that “Gary Cohn came out of the elevator and went up the escalator at 8:49 am”—the press pool members as Echo, endlessly mouthing the words of Narcissus, unable to express their own hearts."
