    1. The woman who is interviewed in the article does not receive payments because she does not generate enough electricity. She paid $18,000 for her solar panels and expects to save $1,000 per year for a return on her investment of 18 years not counting interest loss on her original investment. She is a dope.

      More importantly, B.C. Hydro is cancelling the payments for surplus electricity because 6 individuals managed to generate electricity from running creeks with one person making $60,000 in a year. The rebate program was never intended for people to make money (huh?). Six people making between $10,000 and $60,000 is about $150,000 (ish) and so they are cancelling the program. What a smoke screen. B.C. Hydro is not closing a loophole, it is preventing anyone but B.C. Hydro from selling you electricity.

  1. Duke University vice president of student affairs walks into the campus Joe Van Gogh coffee shop. Hears rap music playing that includes profanity and the n-word. Complains to coffee shop owner and demands baristas be fired. Joe Van Gogh fires baristas. Students demonstrate. Duke University claims the coffee company initiated the firing and not them. Audio surfaces saying otherwise. Everyone apologizes. Joe Van Gogh reiterates that it places its workers above profits. Closes down campus shop and offers to rehire fired baristas elsewhere. Britni Brown, the barista who served the VP student affairs is black. The rapper of said rap music is black. The other barista is white. No indication if the VP student affairs is black or white. Stephen Colbert asks if we’re allowed to complain about the music in coffee shops then Mike Buble should be arrested. Everyone agrees.

    1. Well….. the man has an interesting history. Someone tried to kill him in Feb 2017 and again in September …. hospitalized for that attempt.

      Claims he was a crack baby who was essentially abandoned by his mother (father unknown).
      Seems to really distrust women, well maybe just black women, I can’t exactly tell.

      Below some lyrics from his song “Preach” seems in part to be part biography and part justification for disliking women. I can see the appeal for certain people……….. It’s pretty negative.

    “The Damage Continues: Imperial Oil To Halt Project Expansions In Canada”

    “Regulatory burdens for project approval cited as key reason.
    Imperial Oil says they won’t be doing any more project expansion in Canada, as regulatory burdens make the approval process far too time consuming.

    Their CEO says “I have lived and worked in a lot of places, and four-and-a-half years to get a project that has strong economics, pace-setting environmental performance, is inordinately long.””

    1. “The Damage Continues: Imperial Oil To Halt Project Expansions In Canada”
      This is what I was referring to in my comment in the ‘Being Divisive’ thread above. Trudeau is destroying Canada and no appears able to stop him. It would take many years to get those lost investors back into our national industrial and resource base.

    1. Poor Eric. Suffering from severe depression. Have some compassion for mental illness.

      Did you know that there are 150, count ’em, 150 different pharmaceuticals available for the treatment of depression? It’s an epidemic. Or maybe a bonanza for the drug companies.

  4. “Did you know that there are 150, count ’em, 150 different pharmaceuticals available for the treatment of depression? It’s an epidemic. Or maybe a bonanza for the drug companies. ”

    It is very much the latter,and doctors probably do get kickbacks. Mention in passing to your doctor that you’re feeling a bit “down” today,and the first thing he’ll do is ask if you want a prescription. For every mood, no matter how fleeting, there’s an antidote.

    Btw, big warning to gun owners in Canada, with the new laws the Liberals are about to put in place, don’t take any prescriptions for anti-depression medicines as your medical files are going to be delved into when you apply or re-apply for a PAL.

  5. If true that Margaret Attwood uttered the following quote while testifying against the NAFTA before a Parliamentary committee in 1987, “Our national animal is the beaver … noted for its industry and its co-operative spirit. In medieval bestiaries it is also noted for its habit, when frightened, of biting off its testicles and offering them to its pursuer. I hope we are not succumbing to some form of that impulse.” then I can now refer to one composition of hers that I find readable.

    Feds Collect Record Taxes Through April; Still Run $385.4B Deficit

    (CNSNews.com) – The federal government collected a record $2,007,451,000,000 in total taxes through the first seven months of fiscal 2018 (October through April), but still ran a deficit for that period of $385,444,000,000, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement.

    The record total federal taxes collected during this period also included a record $1,050,601,000,000 in individual income taxes—marking the earliest in any fiscal year that individual income taxes have topped $1 trillion.

    But even while the Treasury was collecting its record $2,007,451,000,000 in total taxes from October through April, it was spending $2,392,896,000,000—thus, accumulating a deficit of $385,444,000,000.

    “Trudeau’s Boyle meeting showed lousy judgment”

    “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Dec. 19 meeting with returned captive Joshua Boyle and his family was questionable when first revealed last month.

    Boyle’s past associations, pronouncements and his stated reasons for taking his pregnant wife to a Taliban-controlled war zone in Afghanistan – on a backpacking trip – should have raised concern.

    It looks much worse now, as Boyle faces 15 charges,…”

    http://torontosun.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-trudeaus-boyle-meeting-showed-lousy-judgment

    1. Boyle was charged with:
      Eight counts of assault.
      Two counts of sexual assault.
      Two counts of unlawful confinement.
      One count of uttering threats.
      One count of public mischief.
      One count of administering a noxious thing.
      —————————
      Probably all crimes within his immediate family. Looks as if his wife turned on him. He’s another guy with mental illness…… all reasonable people with half a brain knew this already from his history. Although she is not much better, at least she has a family that cares. I expect divorce is next up.

    HERMANN GOERING AT THE NUREMBERG TRIALS 1946

    1. While I don’t doubt that Hermann Goering said this, I think it’s not true. And not true most especially today with the rise of the internet, twitter, facebook, etc.

      Hermann Goering was definitely not the sharpest tack. Hitler was the “Leader” not Goering. Hitler had to convince the people that he would save them from runaway inflation, inept public officials, massive unemployment, oppressive reparations, etc., etc. All real issues and grievances. This he did accomplish but not by attacking “pacifists”.

      Goering on the other hand was just along for the ride. History has determined that he was largely a fool.
      So, what exactly is your point?

      1. While I don’t doubt that Hermann Goering said this, I think it’s not true.
        Hermann Goering was definitely not the sharpest tack.

        Guess who else isn’t the sharpest tack? 🙂

        Trump also said that Americans usually come together during times of suffering.

        “I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity,” Trump said. “Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.”

    1. You are right. Rex sure told that progressive b. Almost makes you want to wish that they could experience the utopia they think they want.
