  3. MIT Climate Scientist: ‘Ordinary people see through man-made climate fears — but educated people are very vulnerable’. Scientific foundation for climate fears ‘falling apart’. Current polling data reveals that the American people “get it” when it comes to man-made global warming fears. Given the wealth of recent polling data showing Americans are growing increasingly skeptical, Congressmen and Senators are simply not hearing any clamor from voters to “act” to “solve” global warming. In fact, the opposite is true, voters are rebelling against the unfounded climate fears and the so-called “solutions” in growing numbers.

    Note the date. Since then the public skepticism has only grown larger.

    My comment to this story was disabled for writing: ”This story should keep the focus off the Liberal party and their alleged sexual misconduct for another few days!”
    I was quite surprised! In the last few weeks, I hadn’t had one single comment disabled. Someone in the Liberal Gestapo must have turned me in!! Oh my God! I see a black Mercedes with Maple Leaf flags on the front bumper coming up the street! Heeeeeelp!

  5. Wildrose should insist that “PROGRESSIVE” be discarded from the newly merged Alberta POLITICAL CONSERVATIVE PARTY!

  11. Yup, I had come to the same conclusion. The ERT folks I know say it was a ‘cock-up’ by amateurs who obviously didn’t have proper training for such situations.

  13. This comment from John Cardillo sums it up well:
    Well, had you asked, you would know that for a few years I’ve been cultivating a network of LE sources, many of whom were in contact with cops on the ground in Sydney.
    They expressed tremendous frustration with the politicians calling the shots as there were multiple opportunities for snipers to have shot the savage, but the Liberals wanted to keep negotiating.
    Many cops who were on scene feel that the politicians should have let the police make the calls.
    Politicians meddling with someone trying to do their job… Where have we seen this before, eh?

  14. New France (to become Canada) printed too much paper money and it’s economy collapsed. Hello Paul Krugman !!
    [ What is remarkable about the Canadian financial system is that it inaugurates a new kind of money destined to have a great future: the cards are the first banknotes in circulation. Another remarkable fact is that the country has no asset, no monetary reserve to guarantee the value of its paper money. This money is nothing but a representative sign, which gets its value from the honesty of the government and the goodwill of the royal treasury. Such a guarantee, based solely on morality, is insufficient in that it ties the value of money to the good behaviour of a few bureaucrats, and imposes on it fluctuations that depend on the integrity of some men and the vicissitudes of politics.
    At the time of the conquest, there were only 70,000 colonists in New France, as opposed to more than a million in the English colonies to the south. Paper money helped to destabilise and slow down the economic and demographic development of New France. It contributed to the downfall of the French empire in North America. Later, it would play a substantial role in the French and America revolutions. Today, unfortunately, it is used the world over and continues to distort economic calculations. ]

  18. I got a letter from Justin today.
    He is trumpeting the Liberals accomplishments over the past year.
    It opens with this;
    ” As the year comes to a close, I want to take this opportunity to reflect on all that we have accomplished together in 2014.
    In Parliament, our party led the charge on accountability and transparency by publicly disclosing our MPs’ expenses, an example that has now been followed by all political parties.”
    BUT…
    JT announced his ‘pro-active disclosure’ plan June 5th 2013.
    Fast forward to June 12th 2014;
    ” Liberals find posting MP expenses an onerous task ”
    As Justin Trudeau trumpets his party’s plans for a more open, transparent government, Liberal MPs still haven’t posted their most recent expenses online.
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberals-find-posting-mp-expenses-an-onerous-task-1.2673341
    But there is more,(I won’t provide the link
    to escape the filter) as of a few days ago, Justin expenses for the first fiscal quarter of 2014 are questionable.
    He has posted them on the Liberal site,hard to find there, but apparently the Board of Internal economy has not received them or does not approve them, or who knows, they just might be onerous.
    Justin’s proudest accomplishment in the year 2014 is as empty as his suit. He announced that the Liberals would do something, but they did not.
    Now he is hoping to sell the announcement as an accomplishment.
    He might pull it off.

  22. When it comes to spreading viral and bacterial infections, some people are more contagious than others—much more contagious.
    Known as superspreaders, they amount to roughly 20% of the population, but they account for transmission of about 80% of certain infectious diseases, scientists estimate. The phenomenon has been observed, among other contagions, during the global SARS outbreak in 2002 and 2003 and as far back as Typhoid Mary, a cook in New York who infected dozens of people with typhoid fever in the early 1900s without falling ill herself.
    Now, scientists are working to find the reasons why some people spread disease more than others. Of course, circumstances play a role, such as a crowded day-care center, and some pathogens are naturally more virulent than others. Recent experiments suggest the body’s immune system at times also may play a role—not just to protect against infection but also to spread more of the pathogens to others.
    It isn’t clear which is the bigger contributor to being a superspreader—people’s behavior or their immune-system response. But some scientists say both factors seem to play a role.
    …
    “Maybe that’s how some of these viruses have survived,” Dr. Goldberg speculated. “They’ve learned to tweak the immune systems of certain individuals in order to persist and be transmitted. It’s a very clever strategy if you’re a virus, to hide out in an individual who superspreads you.”

  25. Europe Should Learn Ethiopia’s ‘Islam Lesson
    http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/raymond-ibrahim/europe-should-learn-ethiopias-islam-lesson/

    That Muslims are an otherwise peaceable minority group in Ethiopia, but in enclaves where they represent the majority, they attack their outnumbered Christian countrymen, suggests that Muslim aggression and passivity are very much rooted in numbers. This reflects what I call “Islam’s Rule of Numbers,” which holds that, wherever and whenever Muslims grow in number—and thus in strength and confidence—so too does Muslim intolerance for “the other” grow
    ………….
    By way of final illustration, the reader is left with the story of Islam’s entry into Ethiopia, one of the oldest Christian civilizations. According to Islamic tradition, in 615, when the pagan Quraysh were persecuting Muhammad’s outnumbered followers and disciples in Arabia, some fled to Ethiopia seeking sanctuary. The Christian king, or “Negus” of Ethiopia, welcomed and protected these Muslim fugitives, ignoring Quraysh demands to return them—and thus reportedly winning Muhammad’s gratitude.
    Today, 14 centuries later, when Islam has carved itself a solid niche in Ethiopia, accounting for 1/3 of the population, Muslim gratitude has turned into Muslim aggression—not least a warning to Western states.

  27. Zero has decided to normalize relations with Cuba.
    Kinda hard for a Marxist like zero to justify an embargo on another Marxist kindred spirit off the coast.
    Every single action that man takes is planned. Every single action is contrary to what any freedom loving person would contemplate. I still say this Marxist has no intention of relinquishing power when his term is up.
    There will be blood.

  29. BBC News: The largest vessel the world has ever seen.

    Climbing onto the largest vessel the world has ever seen brings you into a realm where everything is on a bewilderingly vast scale and ambition knows no bounds.

    Prelude is a staggering 488m long and the best way to grasp what this means is by comparison with something more familiar.

    Four (soccer) pitches placed end-to-end would not quite match this vessel’s length…

    That is one big vessel. To put it in North Americanese, five American football fields, goal-line to goal-line, placed end-to-end, would be 34 yards short of its length.

    “It makes quite a political epitaph:
    I am asking you to start being kinder to each other and make Wildrose events a fun place to be. Enjoy each other. Do things together. Have a monthly beer and wings night. Hold a Christmas social. Do a Christmas cookie exchange. Hold a potluck. Sing Christmas carols door to door. Make your Wildrose board members your friends and plan to do your board business around doing something fun before or after your monthly board meetings. Appoint one of your board members to be the official Fun Police. It is their job to ensure that Wildrosers want to come out and want to bring their friends out too. TELL YOUR CHILI STORY.
    The chili stories are destined to go untold.”

  31. Just a question for those of you from BC hows your carbon tax work out. They where saying on CBC today that it works out to be a neutral tax. Is that true ?
    I’m just wondering as the Libs in Ontario are toying with the idea, and there was a debate if you can call it that on CBC radio this afternoon and BC was used more than a few times by the host and pundits as a positive example of how a carbon tax would not lead to higher taxes.
    My gut tells me while I’m surrounded by scores of wind turbines, we are getting a carbon tax and there will be no way in hell it will be neutral.

    I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.
    We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.”
