  1. The best thing to do is to sit back and let this happen. It is often said that one cannot fix stupid and even if one tried, it is far too late.
    Learn from California’s disastrous example and then wall the damn place off.

  2. I scanned that article with my glasses off – was he writing about California or Ontario? Some of the words were blurry but by the gist of it I’m pretty sure it was about Ontario. Especially that lack-of-political-opposition-unions-green-“amen”-acolytes thing….

  3. Why worry? It’s like they say, Californicated makes a great cereal. If there isn’t enough fruits and nuts in it, it still has plenty of flakes.

  4. Daniel Greenfield (Sultan Knish) has an excellent piece on the death of the left that just about parallels this. The left has so totally f**ed up everything they have touched so as to destroy modern civilization as we knew it. Maybe that flight to Mars isn’t such a bad idea after all.

  5. Mar. 15-
    Jerry Brown (Gov.Calif.) said Ted Cruz, the U.S. senator from Texas who is running for president, is “unfit” to run for office because he said science doesn’t show proof of global warming.
    Cruz showed “such a level of ignorance, and a direct falsification of existing scientific data,” Brown said. “It’s shocking, and I think that man has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office.”
    –
    Jerry Brown is still blaming Global Warming, Climate Change, or Catastrophic Climate Change, for idiot Califcukup politicians sucking up all the water, and now the dried up hole is going down the drain..
    Don’t worry Jerry,
    Califcukings are so stupid they will still be cussing ‘Global Warming’ while they, and 14 million illegals are moving over into Texas..

  6. As it is in California, so shall it pass in Ontario. Death by terminal stupidity.

  7. California has 1/3 of America’s welfare recipients.
    From a political drought, to an economic drought,now to a water drought.
    For some time Ontario has been following California style policies.
    Unfortunately, Ontario is big enough to pull the rest of the country down with it.
    ==================================================================================
    from the linked article
    “The Road to Feudalism
    These policies have had numerous impacts, like weakening California’s industrial sector, which cannot afford energy prices that can be twice as high as in competing states. Some of those who might have worked in the factories, warehouses, and farms of California now help swell the numbers of the welfare recipients, who remarkably make up one-third of the nation’s total. As recently as the 1970s and ’80s, the percentage of people living in poverty in California was below the national average; California today, based on cost of living, has the highest poverty rate in the country.”

  8. “Unfortunately, Ontario is big enough to pull the rest of the country down with it.”
    Maybe not. If AB (f@@K Prentice) and Sask. can get their act together and lower cooperate taxes and personal taxes, Morontario’s businesses would flock here like crazy. However I have NEVER met a politician that didn’t like taxes. From any side.
    We are truly fubared.

  10. Time to start putting these eco-freaks.granola munchers on these fires they have started them with their iditoc ideologies now its time they show alittle resposibility

  11. Where I live in California, we are still allowed to water our lawns on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. While there is no cause for alarm, we must guard against complacency. But you can help. Friend California on Facebook.

  12. I was thinking the same thing. As Osumashi suggests, other than doing our part by warning people about the Marxist wolf that is running to and fro trying to destroy our civilization there is not much we can do about it but watch it happen.
    It is the same people behind the destruction of California (and Ontario) as is talked about by David Warren article as linked to by anselm’s Reader Tip @ 1:23.
    Just more fruit of the Frankfurt School.

  13. http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/04/19/desalinization-debate-forces-environmentalists-to-face-reality/
    DESALINIZATION DEBATE FORCES ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO FACE REALITY
    ‘As California’s drought continues, desalinization has emerged as an answer to the state’s chronic water shortages. As the Orange County Register notes, desalinization would provide a near-infinite supply of water at only twice the price. The main objection of environmentalists is that desalinization uses up to 50% more electricity, meaning more fossil fuels might be burned to make water, setting back efforts to fight climate change. It is an objection that is looking less and less serious.
    The damage caused by climate change is still only theoretical. Scientists have yet to prove a link between the global rise of surface temperatures–which has slowed dramatically in the last 20 years–and California’s extreme drought.
    Moreover, the kind of increase in greenhouse gas emissions that desalinization would cause would barely register on the global scale, and would be offset by the reductions in emissions the U.S. has been achieving for nearly a decade by switching to natural gas.
    In contrast, the environmental damage done by pumping groundwater–the only choice many Californians have had–is concrete, local and probably permanent.’
    Better start growing your veggies local…

  14. Not surprised to see Tom Steyer’s name come up in that article. Also behind Obama’s initiative to shut down the carbon industry. Predicted years ago by SDA bloggers to be a leading force in destroying anything that could provide a living for the middle class. Much like Bloomberg and Soros, he’s a agent for as much fundamental change to the country as money can buy. Democrats seem to have no problems in selling their future to the highest bidder. If the founding fathers had seen that one coming, lobbying in any and all forms would be illegal. Shame they missed it.

  15. Hans solution is the obvious one: de-salinization, powered by carbon-free micro-nuclear plants any hot water from the condensed steam could be used to warm lagoons growing foodfish or heating greehouses.
    Fresh water, sea salt, power, foodfish.
    Even our green idiots should be able to recommend the benefits.

  16. California probably has as much water as it did 130 years ago. How much the population has increased is a major player in this drought. But on the bright side, this may be a self correcting problem.

  17. Eco-freeaks oppose dealination becuase their so into this Gaia poppycock and biocentral nonsense they must lay awake all night listening to the trees scream when their chopped down and as we all founds out in the 1990’s the phonie SAVE THE RAINFORESTS campaigne was a rip off along with this the rainforests were the lungs of the earth Only if you beleive this GAIA bull kaka and watched stupid movies like AVATAR 1000 times

  19. This would be that famine we keep talking about. Lefties are doubling down in Cali.
    Lefties appear to be resistant even to Famine. Wonder how many of the other Horsemen will ride into town before they wake up?

  20. Right now canada imports water from the USA at probably 50000 cumeters per day .Time to send some back. Most of the imported water comes from California , In the form of tomatoes, cuks, Chardonnay fir liberals and Eco freaks
    Also bottled water from Hoboken
    Anchor steam , coors , jack Daniels , orange juice
    All water trucked here
    They should cut off the smug Canucks first

  21. While I like Shatner, he’s not that sharp of a pencil anymore…. if he ever was. Most likely he looked at the map and thought to himself “water flows downhill, Seattle is higher than California, hence the water will naturally flow (in the water pipe) from Seattle to L.A. What could go wrong?”

  22. Canucks can afford to be smug as we have more fresh water than we could ever use, but we are not the problem or even smug for that matter. It’s the eco freaks that have stopped any potential to avoid this cyclical drought water shortage that was inevitable in California. They fought any attempt at pipelines, desalination or any other logical means of diverting water to California. Even Super Tankers that would be filled with BC water which was ocean bound was shunned for no reason that made sense to anyone. I’m talking about environmentalists on both sides of the border because they’re all nuts, but politicians who are just as nuts listen to them. It was all foreseeable as well as avoidable. It’s simply the end result when green nut activists hijack the political arena. Blue states are prone to this problem.

  23. I find it interesting that the so called “greens” in California do not really like green, kind of more like a sandy brown.

  24. Most of California’s water shortage would be solved by stopping dumping fresh water into San Francisco Bay to support a non-existant Salmon run and the water dumped into the Sacramento River to save a bait fish.

  25. “Also bottled water from Hoboken
    Anchor steam , coors , jack Daniels , orange juice ”
    A lotta bottled water from Canada goes to Kalifornica…..even more by tank truck to Bay area bottling plants….
    BTW Jack Daniels comes from Kentucky and Collingwood Ontario.
