Gotta love those major 7ths.

  3. Ms. Scroggins is Maude Barlow’s American cousin. While watching that I thought about Ben Shapiro’s new book, “Bullies”. Watch for similar tactics to be employed by American funded protest groups in Northern BC.

  5. And yet at the top of Vera Scroggins’ twitter thingy she describes herself as “grandmother and activist for the environment and love”. Perhaps that was tough love.

    (Seems Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon are really into this anti-fracking thing. This will be really great for the movement because everybody loves Yoko.)

  7. You’re being sarcastic, Black Mamba, but no one’s more qualified to make pronouncements on science and geophysical engineering than Yoko.

  9. Wow. Toronto can finally rival San Francisco in the Gay pride parade. At least that could be entertaining, in a sick sort of way. The real problem with Wynne’s victory is that we have another Premier that came up through the School board. Considering that she is proud of what she has accomplished in the educations system, I wish Ontario luck.

  12. I can top that. ‘”I was inspired to create Fashions for Men, amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod,” Ono tells Women’s Wear Daily. “So, I made this whole series with love for his hot bod, and gave it to him as a wedding present.”‘***
    Go on, you know you want to.
    (***Yeah, she’s talking about Lennon.)

  13. Years ago Yoko shortened her name slightly. When she self identified as an artist,her folks called her Yoko “OH No”

  16. Good Lord EBD, I know you like waking us up, but
    OUCH my music ears Ouch.
    I do admit it was like smelling salts.
    Not cool, but reminded me that the new strings on my Fender are ready to tune.
    dwright (about to rock, in E minor pentatonic, the key of riders on the storm)

  17. Assault-rifle owners statewide [New York]are organizing a mass boycott of Gov. Cuomo’s new law mandating they register their weapons, daring officials to “come and take it away,” The Post has learned.
    Gun-range owners and gun-rights advocates are encouraging hundreds of thousands of owners to defy the law, saying it’d be the largest act of civil disobedience in state history.
    “I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said Brian Olesen, president of the American Shooters Supply, one of the largest gun dealers in the state.

  18. Kathleen Wynne is premier of Ontario. She is a graduate of the hard core marxist Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and has never had a real job in her life. I’d bet money she doesn’t know the difference between a kw and a Kwh, or the difference between a million, a billion and a trillion. Mind you non of the others probably do either. This province is going to go even farther down the toilette. It is also likely, that with Hudak as leader of the conservatives, she will likely also win the next election. I haven’t had to so far, butI might be making that long trip to the oil sands yet.

  20. German Die Welt reported:
    http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article113155950/Experte-meldet-schwere-Explosion-in-Atomanlage.html
    According to a report by Iran expert Reza Khalili it has on the Iranian nuclear facility of Fordo A few days ago a huge explosion that destroyed large parts of the plant. Khalili says he got this information from a former Iranian intelligence officials.
    Now, the “Welt am Sonntag”, however, has received from an Iranian intelligence service contacts with experts confirmed that the explosion had actually happened.
    The highway from Qom to Tehran to have been closed for hours. By Wednesday, rescue teams had tried in vain to penetrate to those trapped. The explosion has thus paralyzed the two elevators that lead to the plant, which was hewn out about 90 feet into the mountain. Khalili understood that this will also be the south west safety output no longer be accessible.

  21. I don’t know about that, minuteman.
    We’re up on the ledge, inching our way along, trying to get through a global economic crisis, and we’ve had 9 years of thoroughly bad financial, energy, and economic policy that has left the people of Ontario in debt, in strife, over-taxed, massively over-governed and completely unrepresented.
    And now the Liberals have decided that what we really need is a lesson in downtown-Toronto sexual identity-group politics ladled down our throats? Who do they think they’re kidding?
    You know, they could have shown a bit of contrition — elected a leader promising a bit of fiscal sanity, pro-business moxy, etc. And that would also have actually been a bit helpful to their goofy federal race.
    You’re right in the sense that Hudak might not win (although this Wynne nonsense is not going to go down at all well in any way with those of a conservative disposition — either economically or socially). The odds of the Liberals finishing better than third, if not disappearing completely, are pretty long.

  24. Would be great news and slow Iran down a bit. As of 9 am MST not a single MSM outlet that I could find has reported it.

  25. Another well behaved protest. No mess, no destruction, no violence, plenty of order and positivity. I guarantee that every person there would also be more than happy to answer any leftist media’s questions if they chose to show up. We the right set the bar on what a protest should be like, and we in Canada should be more active in supporting our own values.

  27. Neo-AGW Progress Report.
    Lesson for today: Ice freezes.
    …-
    “Ontario braces for ice storm after it freezes the U.S. Midwest” (G-M)

  28. EBD – is that the new smoke free version for today’s sterile pubs and decaffeinated coffee shops?
