  1. Well, sounds like bright lights have been banned from the Turdo la Doo camp – doesn’t surprise us much.

  3. Sounds like someone agrees with Trudeau’s smoking policy during working hours. Please encourage the little scamp, there’s a potential goldmine of misinformation lurking just out of sight.

  4. We snicker at the mindfarts the leftard zombie hordes belch out but like fictional zombies, never turn your back on them. Lefty (actually statist/globalist/klepto-left) apparatchiks know that radicalizing imbeciles is the perfect political force. The Roman patrician class knew the greatest domestic force, more powerful than their army, was a racicalized unthinking mob set upon your political enemies.
    The partisan zombie Akin encountered, demonstrates they are incapable of individual critical/rational thinking – they are nescient herd animals and react only on the conditioning their sheepherders have instilled in them – in this case, this zombie appears to be the victim of a partisan MSM/public school lobotomy and the tribalistic political revisionism propagated within his immediate zombie clan.
    Our consensus media, education systems and political activist culture does not produce thinking individuals they produce politically conditioned zombies who react as an radicalized automaton mob.
    Never turn your back on a zombie and never underestimate the destructive force of the zombie horde. You can’t reason with them – all you can do (as the Roman ruling class understood) is reprogram them and point them at your enemies.

  5. It is true though, the CPC is in love with the toxic mercury twirly bulbs. I’m pro-incandesence. Harper is a big squish on this front.
    I hope Trudeau picks up on this. It might push the CPC back to the right side of this issue.

  7. Gord – I thought so too but then I read somewhere that it was back on. 120 100 watters in the barn! Should last me a lifetime. Your numbers may vary.

  8. The ban was postponed for 2 yrs after a report from the Uk stating that it will poison everything. Harper should re think this as the whole water table will be contaminated, however I don’t think Trudeau is the person to stop it as it was liberal McGuinty who first threatened to ban them in Ontario.

  9. Eric, that sounds about right. We had an incandescent lightbulb fail the other day. It was in a lamp from my father’s house. He died 10 years ago, so the bulb was at least 10 years old. Also had to replace some in the basement, been here 23 years and this is the first time we recall changing that bulb.
    To be fair, the twisty bulbs work better in my lawn lamp. About 20 years ago we were replacing the bulb every 4 – 6 months and it was a pain to do. We decided to replace the whole lamp fixture but the guy at Home Depot told us it was a matter of overheating and to try this new technology. We took a chance since $10 for the bulb was way better than $70 for the lamp fixture (not to mention all the work to install.) Problem solved. I know I’ve replaced the bulb at least twice since then but this is a light that is on 8 – 14 hours a day, year round, so that’s not bad.

  10. I think it has just been kicked back to 2014 (January 2014 for 100W and December 2014 for 60W).
    Who knows what the Harperites actually believe. It is likely a triangulation strategy to pick up a few voters with an environmental angle. Except it is a crappy angle.
    Nature hates a vacuum. If the Liberals are too far left then the CPC drifts that way too.

  12. So, how does a fellow get federally and provincially licenced as a Certified Mercury Bulb Disposer?
    I mean, in this province – where you have to have papers to determine if a butternut tree is legally dead or not – another pretend government job doing make-believe work is just the thing we need to spur the economy.

  13. Anyone can do their own bulb disposal: You mail them to the Green Party leader at the House of Commons.

  15. Maybe it is time right now to start rounding up used fluorescent bulbs? Ho long would it take to fill a shipping container? Deliver to the the PMO.

  16. In the past I sent my burnt out CFLs to the David Suzuki Foundation.
    Maybe I will send my next one to the PMO with a note that I want the ban on incandescents revoked.

  17. “Who knows what the Harperites actually believe.”
    They believe it’s nice to be in power. After a good start,with the Wheat Board,and the LGR, the CPC seems to have drifted Left,and forgotten who put them where they are.The CPC simply will not acknowledge that AGW/CC is a vague theory.My E-mails to MP’s are given the brush off, “thank you for your comment..”
    I used to argue with young people who said,”I don’t bother voting,they’re all the same”. It’s a lot harder to win that debate nowadays.
    So,again, Canadians will be required to vote for the less evil Party,instead of voting for one they can truly support.

  18. What don said.
    We have enough incandescents on hand that we will be able to pass some on in our wills.
    PM Harper better get off the stupid bandwagon.

  20. …and what is with this hand on the chin thing that they all seem to be affecting? Do they think it makes them look introspective?
    Where I come from, hand on the face usually means you’re hiding something.

  21. Yeah well, the CPC is pretty much a disappointment these days but I recall the Boob Rae was the result of similar disappointment in the Blue machine and then Petersen.
    Lets not do that agin……..

  23. Who knows what the Harperites actually believe.
    They believe the rubes that comprise their base will support them regardless of how big a crap they take on the principles they claim ex banning incandescents. And they’re probably right.

  25. Years ago one of our more astute columnists wrote about Mike Harris’s ability to capture the vote and win elections.
    He theorized that M. H’s success was solely attributable to a very few things: his ability and willingness to define all the problems and solutions in a sentence or two; the projection of trust that he was in fact going to change things, and his follow-through on everything on his list.
    Hudak has never made it to step one, and Harper has a long list of things to complete in steps one and two before he gets any farther.

  27. A lesson learned the hard way through living life. Never ever trust any Politician.
    By definition these people who want power are so ambitious they can’t be trusted.

  28. Oh for crying out loud. The mercury-bulbs is what the greenies/progressives want! This Trudeau supporter should be thrilled! Harper fell for the green crap on this one, not that it will buy him any votes. Why can’t the Conservatives figure this out; all they have done is alienated their base.
    We also have years’ worth of incandescents stored. Not one twisty bulb in my home.

  29. If the CINO’s continue to make gains, in the next federal election I’ll be writing in “None of the F***ing statists above” on my ballot. Unfortunately, no Libertarians or Marijuana party candidates run in my neck of the woods.
    Nothing wakes up a group of politicians suffering from Ottawa induced brain rot faster than 50% of ballots being “spoiled”. In the meantime, we can just pray for meteorites to hit various world capitals and cities frequented by banksters.
