Hewlett-Packard Recalls CSA Certified Products
We know that CSA has been selling influence over legislated standards and that manufacturers have been trading money for influence on CSA standards committees. We also know that CSA safety testing sometimes doesn’t involve any testing at all. We know that in practice, the CSA certification sticker means almost nothing.
What we don’t know is what went wrong with this certification.

On entertaining nuttiness, feminist utopias and vanity as virtue:
The narcissism of much of the middle class left is tautological, considering that they are people born into above average affluence who still feel they should get other people’s money because their art, or environmental campaigning, or political thought – rather than their need for subsistence – merits it.

Nova Scotia Vapours
Nova Scotia is planning on banning the sale of flavoured e-liquid.
The Nova Scotia Legislature just passed the 2nd reading of Bill 60 and sent it to the Law Ammendments Committee. If there is no public response to this committee – it will likely go forward as is and become law.
If you live in Nova Scotia and have issues with this, this thread has good instructions for helping to stop this.

[L]et me ask you whether you heard that [the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation], who also has a strong agenda on healthcare, just gave $1.3 million to NPR to report on this topic?
No, you probably didn’t hear about that gift either, by — a grant that has caused zero controversy.
Come to think of it, I didn’t recall any controversy when RWJF gave National Public Radio $5.6 million to report on healthcare between 2008 and 2011, during a period when this was among the most politicized of all topics.
You’d think that somebody would at least have raised an eyebrow, given that RWJF is a strong proponent of the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare policy positions on the progressive side of the spectrum.
The Economic Costs of Capital Gains Taxes in Canada
New, from the Fraser Institute;
“While capital gains taxes raise a small amount of revenues for government, they do so at considerable economic cost by reducing returns on investment, which discourages private sector investment and entrepreneurship–two things we need more of,” said Charles Lammam, associate director of tax and fiscal policy at the Fraser Institute, which released The Economic Costs of Capital Gains Taxes in Canada, part of a collection of essays on capital gains taxation.

The Tolerant Left
Maher talked about how Muslim protesters had gotten Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s honorary degree at Brandeis shut down because she — a victim of forced marriage, female genital mutilation, death threats, the murder of her film making partner Theo Van Gogh, and more — had the nerve to criticize those who have hunted her from one continent to another. And here their allies are, hunting Bill Maher.
“It’s been a tough week for Canadian Muslims.”

Life’s too short:
When officials in the tiny Town of Stettin in Marathon County went to collect a civil judgment from 75-year-old Roger Hoeppner this month, they sent 24 armed officers.
And an armored military vehicle.
Better safe than in tears:
Marathon County sheriff’s officials aren’t apologizing for their tactics. Sheriff’s Capt. Greg Bean said while Hoeppner was never considered dangerous, he was known to be argumentative.
