  1. Where the hell are my BC cherries??? The counters at the grocery store should be overflowing with them!
    From what little I have heard, it has been too cold in the spring and that has delayed or destroyed the crop. Can someone from BC fill us in?
    Also, Taber corn may be in short supply this year. Reason; too much rain and cold weather here in the future Sahara

  2. truly, a study on METHODOLOGY is what that is, and it shows they don’t know how the hell to collect reliable data, and that has been my observation on the data collection of glowbull temps as well, ain’t reliable, git that lefty trolls!!!!

  4. I honestly think that nuclear is still the best energy solution. Even the CANDU’s are good technology — just as long as politics (a la moratoriums on the construction of the Darlington plant in the middle of construction) does not interfere with the maintenance schedule as Peterson & Rae did in the late 1980’s. That one decision to hold back Darlington, resulted in running Bruce into the dirt, thus causing Pickering to run past required maintenance, thus balooning maintenance/operating costs.
    The best equivalent I can think of is to continue driving a car after all the oil leaked out and ignoring the warning lights on the front console. Peterson & Rae did that with the Nuclear Plants in Ontario — on purpose or just pure incompetance — I do not know.
    They caused the present day debt problems of Ontario Hydro which caused the big split up and subsequent McGuinty green (or more accurately gangrene) energy policy.
    As an aside, I attended the 2002 World Hydrogen Energy Conference in Montreal. Ballard, the founder of Ballard Power stated openly that if Green House Gases were a real threat, then the only real solution was Nuclear Energy — people openly booed him but he was absolutely correct.

  5. Candu is and remains awful technology – left to Canada after ww2. Even the slightest contamination of the heavy water means it has to be replaced at huge cost. And the environmental reclamation/refurbishing costs of the sites are literally incalculable.
    As for mr Ballard – he is a hardly a credible source On the issue – though I do agree with his opinion.

    the hydro debt problems stem from many things, but one of the most significant ones is the UNION, nobody at the hydro works, but they still git paid, and there is the problem.
