Sorry Jose. People who object to war aren't evil. Although some of them are stupid.

The NDP, and I have heard this from several of their MPs, believe that the only use for the Canadian Military is at home dealing with forest fires, flooding, and ice storms.

So go ahead dictators and despots of the world. Continue to kill and maime. Just don't come to Canada and throw a cigarette out your car window while driving through a BC forest or you'll have our military to deal with.

"If the federal Liberal MP for NDG-Côte-des-Neiges, Marlene Jennings, gets her way, she may very well become the toast of the town for law enforcement officials. Last month, she re-introduced Bill C-416, the Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act—more commonly known as the Lawful Access Bill—as a private members’ bill in the House of Parliament. The bill would impose requirements on telecommunication service providers (TSPs) with 100,000 clients or more that would force them to hand over user data to law enforcement agencies based on a “single phone call,”

"Indeed, Eugene Oscapella, a lawyer and criminology professor at the University of Ottawa, and a conference speaker, says that law enforcement has more powers than it already needs, and much of it stems from the futile war on drugs"

Slider,

Honda Accords are built in Ontario. The "domestic" car industry in Canada is more Honda and Toyota and less union-hack staffed, crappy, falling apart after two days GM, Ford and K-cars.

If the so-called "domestic" US manufacturers made cars worth buying they wouldn't be dissolving...

Toyota is building more Canadian plants to add to the ones they already have and are hiring more Canadians to work at them. Their employees get union-level pay and benefits but without the drag a union forces on the company. They (Toyota and Honda both) build cars which are properly engineered and built. They run forever and don't spend half their lives in the shop.

Elizabeth May is starting her strategy of absorbing the Liberals; that is, she is saying that in some ridings, it is 'possible' that the Greens won't run a candidate against a Liberal. How kind. What's she really after?

This verbiage means, that she expects the Liberals, ie, Dion, to not run a Liberal candidate in ridings where she has a 'special' Green candidate.

May is becoming, de facto, the Liberal leader, flicking Dion around like a bewildered and hapless puppet.

Oh no! Multi-culti under attack!

Interesting article. Some on the left are starting to wake up to the fact that Islamists have successfully repositioned gender discrimination, slavery and genocide - such as reducing womens worth to half, beatings, honour killings, female circumcision, and mobile postal box outfits - into a cultural sensitivity and diversity issue protected by multiculturalism.

Trudeau wins nomination
680 News - 5 hours ago
Toronto - Justin Trudeau, the eldest son of late former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, is hoping to go to Ottawa as an MP. (via google news)

The honda Accord is fuel efficient, with or without the electric gizzmo, mostly because of it's shape.

No matter what you do with an SUV or truck propulsion systems, it will still be a gas guzzler. It's like pushing a box 'against-the-wind', as Bob Seiger would sing.

My, non hybred V6 HA uses half the fuel my small boxy half ton does. Basically the same engine.

There is some merit in stop and go traffic for the auxillary electric motor of a hybred. Out on the hyway, however, the batteries quickly discharge and you are back onto all gasoline propulsion anyways. Only now you have to lug around the extra weight.

Speaking of weight. If you want an all-electric vehicle capable of 4-600 km range, you will need about a 132 golf cart batteries. 4 tonnes worth. And the charger will dim the lights. All night.

They have not invented a better EV than golf carts yet. No better batteries yet either.

For 'around town' perhaps a more elaborate golf cart would not be such a bad idea. No heaters though.

OMG! I can't believe the retardedness of some politicians. A Bloc MP is actually standing up in the House, complaining to the government about Shane Doan being made captain of Team Canada.

No way. Not when the 911 conspiracy theorists and the Tabloid MSM have said it was imposible. The ramp must have been made of 'chicken cage wire'.

Son of a former prime minister and demigod enters politics and the MSM are trying to equate this to him becoming PM as if he has inherited a gene from his dad to make him prime ministerial material. Of course if he inherited some genes from mom then he'd be walking around with no knickers and a Rolling Stones' groupie.

**I vote this piece in the red star about the dumbest ever.**

Enhanced performance over the regular model and a $245 annual gas saving to boot! Self charging battery system. Thousands in rebates.

What*s the dumb part?

Even factoring in the sales tax rebate, the NRC figures suggest a typical Accord Hybrid owner would save $246 a year in fuel over the non-hybrid V6, which suggests a meagre long-term advantage in purely financial terms.

On the other hand, this also represents a reduction in C02 of 766 kg, which means you'd be well on your way to meeting the challenge of saving a tonne of greenhouse gases, simply by choosing the Accord Hybrid. Not much of a sacrifice, is it?

No, it's not, but from a strictly environmental point of view, there are more effective ways to reduce carbon emissions. Even the Canadian Automobile Association thinks we should simply drive our cars less often.

Perhaps, though, we should think of the Accord as a kind of Trojan Horse, a seductive vehicle that contains well-disguised agents of change. It smoothes a path for a few innovations that will inevitably find broader application among all vehicles.

Most reports on the Accord Hybrid have noted that you simply drive it like any other car – there are no unusual maintenance requirements, it takes regular fuel, and the battery for the electric motor is charged as you drive the car.

Yet there are a few distinctive elements to the operation of the Accord Hybrid, mostly discernible in stop-and-go traffic. I've owned cars in the past that occasionally stalled while waiting to turn at an intersection, and it was never a good feeling.

But the Accord Hybrid stalls virtually every time you stop, as part of its design. Once warm, the engine routinely shuts off at a stop to avoid wasting fuel at idle. As soon as you release your foot from the brake, the electric motor acts to restart the gas engine; there's no cranking of a starter motor, simply a softly muted thud through the drivetrain when you release the brake and the engine awakes.

One of the most elegant aspects of hybrid design is how it uses energy from braking, which is normally lost as heat, to produce electricity through the motor, which also acts as a 14 kW generator. This just seems to be one of those beautiful ideas that someday will be incorporated on every vehicle.

Oh! I get it. A pure battery EV is vastly better in every way. Yes, that is true.

Drivers finally awakening

North Americans seem to be without a clue as to how much they crave an electric car.

We are simply not aware that battery tech has improved and vehicles that require NO gas are being sold by the thousands, albeit to savvy and aware municipalities, [ engineers on staff], governments and business who prefer not to be caught with pants down when gas is not available at any price. Remember the line-ups in the 70s? When will Iran and the straight of Hormuz blow? Where can your SUV go without gas?

8,000 Evs to France from Ca. for postal delivery fleet. No gas? Mail is delivered anyway.

HD EV trucks outstripping HD hybrid trucks in UK truck fleets.

Municipalities buying 4 door short-box EV service trucks using AltairNanoSafe battery.

Drivers seem unaware that freedom from a $200 to $400 monthly gas bill is now here.

Drivers seem unaware that the Ford Escape Hybrid battery warranty is for 8 and/or 10 year terms. AltairNanaoSafe battery life is estimated at 12 years.

Drivers seem unaware that the Ford Escape Hybrid in harsh NYC taxi stop and go conditions , [ 18 cars], each drove the equivalent of 11 years of private owner service without problems, saving Yellow Cab $250,000 in fuel costs.

Performance? Nothing touches a sport model Electric Vehicle, [EV]. The San Francisco based Tesla and the Wright X1 both came out winners in a race with $400,000 competition cars.

Drivers seem unaware that while range is typically 100 to 250 miles, you can plug in at work and come out to a fueled up ride home. Verification and excellent links:

http://TonyGuitar.blogspot.com

AutoblogGreen.com

Tipping point?

Tony, Tony, Tony... "you can plug in at work ". Do you really think that everyone will be able to plug in their cars everywhere for free? Hell, even in Canada where you have to plug in the old car in order to start it after 8 hours outside, you find employers either charging you for the priviledge of plugging in or only turning on the juice for 10 min on the hour. Try that in 40 below Winterpeg, Saskabush or Yellowknife. energy is not free, no matter how you get it. Save on gas only to see your electric bill skyrocket. Electric cars might be great on the left coast but most of Canada is a little too rough for the darlings right now. Try a road trip to Yellowknife with a vehicle that has a range of 100 - 250 miles then let me know if the age of the electric car has truly arrived.

Jose: you and your kind have opposed all just wars: Molotov-Ribbentropp pact anyone? Being a socialist or a communist is signing yourself as an accomplice to an ongoing conspiracy to committ, aid, and abet genocide. Hundreds of millions have already successfully been exterminated, with only 6 Billion to go for the red/green plan to succeed. So go up to a Ukranian and tell them how proud you are of your socialism, and how you are helping those who killed 13 million Ukrainians. And on, and on, for every victim of the Left from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the rest of the world.

Au Contraire, Texas Cunuckster,

People do not make daily trips to Yellowknife.

For that you need an ordinary Honda insight... 50 to 75 MPG.

The vast majority of Auto use is less than 60 miles daily.

And the EV is the best freebe today because as you are aware, big box stores just love their senior customers. Many of those seniors arrive on a small 4 wheel personal EV and so stores like WalMart, Canadian Tire, and Super Store do provide free plug-in for re-charge.

You don*t buy gas for an EV, remember? So when you save $200 to $400 a month, you can afford to rent a Hummer to go to Yellowknife.. eh? = TG

Ever been there Tony? There are a lot of Chosen Frozen up there that will disagree with your first statement. When it is 40 below for a daytime high, you learn very quickly to bring an extra set of car keys and leave your car locked but running when getting groceries and such up north. It is still cheaper than a boost or a tow at 40 below. My first trip to the territories in '92 cost me 3 trailer tires, 2 minivan tires and a rear window. This ain't your Trans-Canada Highway there.

Getting a little tired of hearing about this GLOBAL WARMING poppycock everytime i rwad the news or listen to the wackos on TV

Ron in Kelowna doesn't know what he's talking about regarding hybrids. My Honda Insight's battery stay pretty full all the time. At high way speeds it does NOT empty out leaving me with dead weight for the IC engine to lug around as he claims. Any tiny speed adjustment (deceleration) at the pedal puts energy back and you don't have to touch the brakes to do it.

Next time talk to people who actually drive a hybrid. My Insight gives me an honest 65mpg on the highway, 55 in town and in the mid-seventies on super-long trips like from Bennington, VT to Pittsburgh, PA or to Virginia Beach, VA. In fact my little ten gallon tank takes me all the way from Vermont to Virginia Beach and still leaves me plenty of gas when I get off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to take my mom shopping. And the battery is FULL when I arrive.

Have you tried the Ostrich Response?

So, speaking of saving money on spirits eh?

How about saving $200 to $400 every month and being immune to the coming gasoline shortage?

Even without lead, I would suggest you not drink spirits of gasoline, but you could think about avoiding the big auto fraud of *hybrid* and go directly to EV, electric vehicle.

France just bought 10,000 from California for postal service and now they get their mail, gas or no gas.

Are the Fwench smarter than we are?

Municipalities are buying the Phoenix EV 4 door, short box pick-up. Engineers there know you will damage your hybrid if you try to drive it without gas in the tank.

Ergo, a hybrid is as dead as a Hummer in a gas shortage.
