Good picks tonight vit. ^5
Dean especially.

Dear V.,

A minor debate arose re your moniker at the recent Left Coast SDA Tim Hortons get together:

Is it pronounced:

1. Vi-truvius
2. Vitru-vius
3. Something else?

Enquiring minds would like to know!

My understanding, Robert, is that Vitruvius is pronounced veh-troo'-vee-us.

melt in your mouth smooth voices all of them.

"Photographers claim assault at Toronto torch run'

"Toronto Sun photographer Ian Robertson is carried away on a stretcher after allegedly being shoved to the ground by security guards at the Olympic torch run in Newmarket, Ont. (Toronto Sun)"

"The head of a union representing Ontario journalists is demanding that criminal charges be laid against security officers at the Olympic torch run, after two photographers were allegedly assaulted in Newmarket, Ont., on Friday.

Brad Honywill, president of local 87-M of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union, said two Toronto Sun photographers were assaulted while trying to take pictures of the Olympic torch bearers as they ran along Davis Drive in Newmarket, Ont., on Friday at noon.

According to Honywill one of the photographers, Dave Thomas, was shoved repeatedly as he tried to take pictures, but was not injured. But Honywill said another photographer, Ian Robertson, was shoved to the ground by security guards and taken to hospital and treated for an apparent head injury."

In the faint hope that important people read this blog (and perhaps more to the point my additions to it) I would like to remind Minister Jason Kenney and the rest of the Cabinet that they could do a good deed and lift the deportation order on Russian immigrant Mikhail Lennikov, who is currently in sanctuary in a Vancouver Lutheran church because he doesn't want to see his family split up. His big thought crime was to have served in the ultra-scary Gorbachev era KGB in that hotbed of Soviet expansionism, Tokyo (ooh, scary kids). He seems like a decent enough guy especially when compared to the great mass of people we admit to Canada (like me), not to mention half the folks lucky enough to see first light here (raise high the donut).

Here's the downside to being kind to Lennikov -- Peter Julian will owe us one. Well that can't be all that bad, can it? (He's the MP, not a soulmate, I gather the guy is about as liberal as I am now that he's seen the light of the free world).

relatives of the security that assaulted Lord Monckton?

"Washington area prepares for biggest snowfall in six years (Greatest accumulation in 70 years)

A major storm was expected to bury the Washington region Saturday with what forecasters said could be the largest snowfall to hit the area in six years and the greatest December accumulation in more than 70 years.

Accumulations of 15 inches or more in the city and up to 24 inches in parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains were possible, according to the National Weather Service. The snow was expected to cause significant disruptions for shoppers, travelers and revelers on the last weekend -- and biggest shopping day -- before Christmas.

Especially large amounts of snow could accumulate southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor, where "paralyzing" near-blizzard conditions could occur, said AccuWeather.com chief meteorologist Joe Bastardi.

Snow was expected to start falling early Saturday and to increase in intensity all day, as bands of precipitation, fed by moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and driven by a cold northeast wind, sweep over the area.

Temperatures will remain in the 20s and low 30s, aggravated by gusty winds of 20 to 25 mph, the Weather Service said. The snow was not expected to taper off until Sunday morning."
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2410893/posts

The largest snowfall to hit the area in six years!

Oh no! Run away! Run away!

Perhaps this was discussed before but I love the National Post headline: "Canadian Who Hate Canada" and then goes on to quote almost word for word, an article by Murray Dobbin.

For years anyone who respected traditional values, who didn't want government to grow unwieldy, who didn't want hard-earned tax dollars to be wasted, and who wanted the state out of every room in their home (not just their bedrooms) was referred to as a Right-Wing Hater.

It's time we turned those tables. So when the occasion presents itself, politely ask a Leftist why they Hate They Canada.

Ah, Vit.
You're scoring hat tricks tonight with the music and the video. Great memories.

By the way, a good follow-up question to "Eco-Conscious Canadians" is to ask them why they hate pets. Terry O'Neill explains.

If you're up for it, you might phrase it this way: "Ummmm, can I ask you something? Why is it that people of your political bent think all pets should be killed? I've never really understood that."

Peter O'Donnell - Mr. Lennikov came into this country under false pretenses. He should remove himself from Canadian jurisdiction and apply lawfully the way immigrants should, from without. Unless of course, he has some information of sleeper agents or anti-democratic traitors who are spying on Canadian military operations, technology, etc., that he would be willing to deal with.

Mmmmm ... thanks, Vit, for these Christmas picks. I love the orchestration, the backup singers, the implied fireside and snow falling outside.

http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/18/climate-canada-award.html

This story has been played nearly every hour today by CBC "news" reporters as an example of Canada's "shame". We need to let the CBC, CTV, and our Members of Parliament that we wear this award like a cape, that we treasure it more than Olympic gold.

The existing lefty "New World Order" moniker NWO, should reflect the reality of Copenhagen and state "No World Order".

Peter "lift the deportation order on Russian immigrant Mikhail Lennikov,"

I agree the deportation order should be lifted. Cons would get some good Samaritan points on this as it is one of those stories that tugs at the heart and where the law seems not in line with justice.

This editorial is very good but you really should look if only to get a gander at its title:

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YTY4MzM2Y2Y3MDJlYWYzNWQzMTBhZjkyMmUwMzU1NWE=

one for the ages IMO.

Lindal - I trust this isn't some kind of racial thing here because there are thousands of Chinese in this country who are here on a student's visa much like Lennikov. Will we be as gracious with all of them should they decide that to return to China would be inhumane? (One could certainly argue so, moreso than Russia) As for the quest for sanctuary, it doesn't exist in Canada, and it didn't work for Beckett nor did it work for Red Comyn who was stabbed to death on the high altar of Greyfriars Church, Dumfries, by Robert the Bruce.

a tree ring circus in copenhagen... funny.

NDP MP Linda Duncan posts her last tweet from Copenhagen. How can any of us possibly survive another day without her ongoing brilliance to elucidate us great unwashed?!?

On November 24th Kate linked to the Wikitalk page where various wiki-editors, or whatever the hell they're called, were discussing Climategate - or rather, were discussing how to excise the details in the emails and minimize the significance of the scandal. The extent of the gatekeeping bias on display seemed almost like it was satire, so I typed in "climate" at Wikipedia and started scanning through the results pages: twenty-six pages and 520 articles later, there was not one article about the biggest climate story ever, just page after page of articles like "gender equality and climate change", "Committee On Climate Change", "California Climate Action Registry", "Mayors Climate Protection Center", "Climate Justice", and "Indian Youth Climate Network". Even "Climate of Uranus" came up before any mention of Climategate.

In today's Financial Post Lawrence Solomon parts the curtains at Wikipedia and takes a high-def snapshot: turns out that one William Connolley, an activist who is one of nine members of the Realclimate.org team, has been acting as a one-man slash-and-burn commissar of Wiki-truth.

It's quite remarkable. The sheer scope of this one person's propaganda campaign at this putatively "public" source is almost beyond belief:

"Connolley took control of all things climate in the most used information source the world has ever known – Wikipedia. Starting in February 2003, just when opposition to the claims of the band members were beginning to gel, Connolley set to work on the Wikipedia site. He rewrote Wikipedia’s articles on global warming, on the greenhouse effect, on the instrumental temperature record, on the urban heat island, on climate models, on global cooling. On Feb. 14, he began to erase the Little Ice Age; on Aug.11, the Medieval Warm Period. In October, he turned his attention to the hockey stick graph. He rewrote articles on the politics of global warming and on the scientists who were skeptical of the band. Richard Lindzen and Fred Singer, two of the world’s most distinguished climate scientists, were among his early targets, followed by others that the band especially hated, such as Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, authorities on the Medieval Warm Period.

"All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity. When Connolley didn’t like the subject of a certain article, he removed it — more than 500 articles of various descriptions disappeared at his hand. When he disapproved of the arguments that others were making, he often had them barred — over 2,000 Wikipedia contributors who ran afoul of him found themselves blocked from making further contributions. Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley’s global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia’s blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement."

An important column. Great work, Mr. Solomon.

And Exhibit A

Richard Littlemore over at Suzuki's DeSmog tried to whitewash Dopenhagen and got creamed by his own readers. Nice !

May I take a moment to heap a little praise on all the SDA contributors in Reader Tips this evening. I have read all of the EXCELLENT links provided. Wow and Double Wow!

Imagine SDA as an online newspaper and contrast it with the same-old boring drivel that appears in Canadian newspapers day in, day out. Is it ANY wonder why they're dying and sites like SDA are thriving?!

There's an interview with David Suzuki over at the National Post's Full Comment (online).

In it, Suzuki makes this statement: "Remember, the economy is a human-created construct. It's not a law of nature"

Does this mean he thinks humans can survive without an economy? Or is he merely trying to argue that humans can prosper under some economic system other than capitalism?

Human survival requires consumption, and that in turn depends on production and trade of goods and services. Free market capitalism leads to far more production and wealth than socialism, because the latter involves coercion on the part of the unproductive that interferes with the work of the productive. All of this is reality, or "a law of nature". And the historical record bears it out.

Also, only Marxists use the word "construct" in that manner these days. It's part of their erroneous take on epistemology.

These performances are excellent.

I actually saw Mel Torme at the CNE (I'm thinking circa 1994). It was at the CNE band-shell and it was free. I was with my brother and we were extremely impressed. He had on the tux and he had a real band ( grand piano, standup bass, horns, jazz drummer, excellent guitarist). This song has the same melancholy jazz feel and was probably infuenced by the great Vince Guaraldi - Charlie Brown Christmas stuff. (Vince obviously brought Latin Jazz to a bigger audience - witness the outstanding appeal of Paquito D'Rivera and his quintet at the acoustically excellent and new Koerner Hall a couple of weeks ago - which I happened to see - along with a huge number of ex-Cubans, Latinos, and various South Americans - now living in TO.)

Just came across a Reuters report that three Eurostar trains with 1500 to 2000 people aboard are trapped in the Chunnel. Apparently they had about three inches of snow in northern France and 'extremely cold weather' (maybe temperatures of about 29 degrees F?) and it's causing havoc. Something else to blame on global warming? Has the Gulf Stream been diverted? /s

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/snow-day-job

"Obama emerges triumphantly from negotiations in Copenhagen having secured a 2 degree cap on world temperature. Of course, this implies a sea level increase limit of seven to nine meters. Having successfully commanded the tide to remain out, Obama and the United Nations have broken new ground in assuring climate status quo through international agreement. (Oh, and several programs directed at the mass redistribution of wealth to non-democratic kleptocracies were also outlined in the lobby during intermission cocktails).

Enforcement hasn't been discussed yet, but we are confident that a "Weather Czar" will be appointed to gauge world temperature compliance and levy world GDP bonus clawbacks in the event the limit is breached by the planet. Further, though the summit failed to fail to reach a non-binding consensus, it does provide the basis for hope that emissions targets will be re-aligned to newly developed targets for emissions targets. John Kerry expressed confidence that new targets for targets would be realized sometime when it wasn't quite so cold outside, and pointed out that the appointment of a Czar and involvement of the EPA would eliminate the need for any legislative authorization to clawback world bonuses in any year where global temperatures exceeded the mandatory limit. No word yet on how the clawbacks would be used, but speculation includes the Administration's new "polar bears saved or created" programs.

Unfortunately, Obama will be forced to leave the Global Warming Conference due to an imposing winter storm bearing down on the mid-atlantic and due to dump as much as twenty inches of snow in the nation's capitol, which may, in turn, delay the arrival in Washington, D.C. of the largest carbon footprinted transportation logistics infrastructure on the planet. Obama will therefore be unable to attend the final vote on the motion that the next conference will be in the South of France in August."

"U.S.-led climate deal under threat in Copenhagen"

It's getting ugly again, with all sorts of bellyaching over Barry's deal. Looks like The Chosen One got out of town just in time:

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSGEE5BB07F20091219

"Countries including Venezuela, Sudan and Tuvalu said they opposed a deal spearheaded on Friday in Copenhagen by the United States, China, India, South Africa and Brazil at the summit."

They were always going to oppose any deal that didn't see them flying home with fat cheques.

Even if this deal goes ahead, we may be on the hook for only a few hundred million.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601130&sid=aZ.jrqPk2Zls

Dec. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Japan will pledge $11 billion toward a $30 billion, three-year climate aid package, more than the contributions of the U.S. and European Union, under a draft United Nations agreement. The U.S. will contribute $3.6 billion over the 2010-2012 period, and the EU’s share is $10.6 billion, according to the proposal that lacks final approval by the 193 nations negotiating a climate accord in Copenhagen.

The article linked by Sylvan should be read by everyone. There's another choice quote in it:

The acrimonious session hit a low point when a Sudanese delegate said the plan in Africa would be like the Holocaust by causing more deadly floods, droughts, mudslides, sandstorms and rising seas.

The document "is a solution based on the same very values, in our opinion, that channeled six million people in Europe into furnaces," said Sudan's Lumumba Stanislaus Di-aping.

P.S. If you look at the bottom, take a note of how many people it took to write that fairly short piece. The reporters at Reuters really must have run out of things to do!

“Failure in Copenhagen
Gunning Full Throttle into the Greenhouse

What a disaster. The climate summit in Copenhagen has failed because of the hardball politicking of the United States, China and several other countries — and because people just can’t seem to fathom how catastrophic climate change will be. They probably won’t have long to wait before things become a bit clearer.

The global climate summit in Copenhagen has failed. There will be no concrete goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Industrialized countries extended no concrete offers of hope to developing countries. Newly industrializing countries, such as India and China, can continue to grow their economies without any checks and balances for the climate.

In the run-up to the conference, scientists, environmentalists and politicians alike called it one of the most important in history. But now it’s just a missed opportunity. Likewise, it might just be one of the last of its kind in the battle against climate change.

It took governments from around the world 17 years to come together for this summit in Copenhagen — 17 years of talking, seemingly endless negotiations, ideological debates, delays and maneuvering. It’s been 17 years since the first climate-related meeting, held in Rio in 1992. It’s been 17 years of searching for solutions to confront the threats resulting from climate change. And this is what we’re left with. Many of the hopes that had been building up since 1992 have now been shattered.

Right up until shortly before the end, it looked like they might have been able to prevent Copenhagen from failing. The last drafts of the final declaration included provisions not only for limiting the rise of global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2050, but also for how this could be achieved. There was mention of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 and even the possibility of a mid-term goal by 2020.

"An Angry President Obama loses his cool as Copenhagen freezes

Our president is quite the angry man these days."

"Whatever the reason, the former harbinger of “hope and change” has turned into quite the candidate for anger management."

"Perhaps his heart is two sizes too small, or maybe he just hates the residents of Who-ville (and “bitter Americans clinging to guns and religion” here in America.) Perhaps being forced by public opinion to retain the “religious” aspect of White House Christmas decorations has placed our man in Washington in a foul mood.

Perhaps, it is the fact that he is now the most unpopular president ever recorded this early into a first term.

Perhaps it’s because his “stimulus bill” that in his mind has been so successful it calls for a sequel, has seen 49 out of 50 states continue to lose jobs in the 9 months since it was enacted.

Maybe it was the new Battleground Poll released December 16 that found that the number of respondents choosing to self-identify as “very or somewhat conservative” has reached 63% while the number of those self-identifying as “very or somewhat liberal” represent 33% with the all-important moderates registering at a whopping 1%."

I'm just listening to Roy Green's show right now. He's interviewing a pair of Warmist zealots in Copenhagen, one of whom is from Greenpeace. Talk about denial! These guys are living in a completely different reality, oblivious to all that Climategate has been revealed and oblivious to how the mood of the general public has changed in the past few weeks.

Green just ask them about Climategate. The Greenpeace guy absolutely denied that they changed anything. "The scientific reality is there, verified by the IPCC", he kept on repeating.

The other fellow said "there are no 2 sides on the science". He dismissed Robert Mugabe's presence as unimportant and then went on to give tacit support to Hugo Chavez's speech.

They're going to be in for a stunning surprise when they return home.

What would be a bigger surprise to you:

“Major Snowstorm Blankets US Capital

Forecasters say snow accumulations could reach 60 centimeters around Washington DC

A snow emergency has been declared in the U.S. capital as the region braces for what may prove to be the largest December snowstorm since 1932.

The National Weather Service predicts more than 30 centimeters of snow will blanket the U.S. northeast by late Saturday. Forecasters say snow accumulations could reach 60 centimeters around Washington DC.

Just south of the capital in Virginia, more than 12 centimeters had already fallen by late Friday. The national guard is on alert, and a state of emergency has been declared.

While the country’s entire northeast will see considerable snowfall, the Washington area is expected to be among the hardest hit. The U.S. National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning in the capital for Saturday, warning residents travel will be “extremely dangerous.”

Has anybody found any "Fossil of the Year" t-shirts out there yet? I would order a few. It would be even better to get them in time for Christmas.

Just tuned into Sean Leslie's show on CKNW. There's some arrogant ass named David Cadman on there who strongly implied that 87% of Canadians (and 65% of Albertans) are mad at Stephen Harper for not signing onto the Copenhagen fiasco. Mr. Leslie didn't raise an objection to this ridiculous assertion.

If you're not familiar with Cadman, take a look here. A Lying Leftist through & through.

Robert W suspect Tsakumis is onto this, but perhaps we should ask for a comment,as CKNW and city council types are his area of experise.

Larben, yes I hope he listens in & comments.

Btw Lizzie May is Sean Leslie's guest at 4:35pm [http://cknw.com for all who would like to listen]. I can't do so because listening to her factless diatribes literally makes me ill. And Leslie will be a sycophant cheerleader for her, making it all the worse.

The TO Star has a short article/interview with Mr. Ignatieff. In the article ==="Even seasoned journalists parroted the Conservatives' talking points,". To me that implies that only silly young inexperienced journalists make the mistake of supporting the Conservatives. If it wasn't for the unabashed cheerleading of most of the media,the libs would be irrelevant today. The comments at the Star are almost all against Ignatieff.===http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/740914--strangers-boost-michael-ignatieff-s-spirits?bn=1#article
