    As long as they are saving the mother earth, what the hell.
    You think that the warmmongers are worried about one or two degrees of Celsius?
    Check this out:
    The temperatures above the $2.2 billion farm are said to reach 1,000 degrees, which killed 3,500 birds in the first year of operation.
    Nobody said that fighting AWG would be without collateral damage.
    You can’t make this stuff up, it just writes itself.

  2. Blue tech;
    The takeaway from that interview is already that bitter Alexander ‘blames’ everyone else and wants to keep peace loving people with nice hair in prison for smoking pot.

    Interesting to note they give him 7plus minutes now when the issue was clearly decided in the media fog that did portray him as a baby killer during the election.
    I still believe that CPC under PMSH did as well as could be expected given the free campaigning of the Liberal media and bureaucracy. Wish PMSH would stick around as interim leader to keep Trudeau to account. Although, it looks like the Libranos will just govern by fiat and maybe recall parliament before the next election. They have to groom the new crop of MPs before they get vetted.
    In the meantime the media will be focusing on the most pressing issues such as: the colour of the drapes at the ‘cottage’.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rideau_Cottage
    Some cottage: 22 rooms. So he will be spending money on one residence while millions more is spent on 24 sussex drive. But the incurious media just knows 24 Sussex is clearly a hovel that must be brought up to standard for the Royal Couple. Barffffff.

  3. Yep…Kady and Co. will mash it up to fit their agenda. I was shocked that Global put up the whole 7 minutes.
    (hate captcha…just sayin)

  4. One thing’s for sure is that the next budget will feature a “surprise” “higher than expected” deficit given all the junk pony boy is already cooking up here like re-instating door to door delivery.

  5. Re door-to-door – have family members who now have the community mailboxes. They had that at previous home, so not that big a deal. Actually say it’s great when they’re away from home as no build-up in front of house to attract attention.
    All this about seniors not being able to get their mail: how much mail is really relevant these days? Also, how do said seniors get their food? Unless they’re totally housebound, dependent on Meals-on-Wheels for their daily nutrition, they’re either going out to shop – at which time they could drop by the mail box – or someone is shopping for them and could also bring in mail.
    More to the point, however, is who maintains the sidewalk in front of these community mailboxes. Logical place for installation in our community is at nearby park. However, corner where would expect to see installation (currently has post box) was totally iced up last winter, and a serious hazard to anyone trying to mail a letter. Would Canada Post, faced with those conditions, refuse to deliver the mail to the community box and – if so – what would be the recourse to the residents faced with penalties for non-payment of bills they didn’t receive.

  6. The group’s final demand was addressed to prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau, who, Picard said, should launch a national inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women.
    “We don’t want that the commission be established in two years, or three years or four years … The prime minister-designate has to indicate and confirm his intention within 30 days of taking office next Nov. 4.”

    Will ponyboy bend over ?
    Without a doubt.

  7. RE: Door to door delivery. Canada Post
    The problems that plague Canada Post are not with the method of delivery, but getting the mail to it’s destination on time. Of course hiring more posties will keep door to door alive, but it won’t speed up delivery.
    I recently posted a comment on Cbc.Ca that was as follows: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-post-community-mailbox-1.3289647?__vfz=profile_comment%3D10722300001717
    Everyone who deals with Canada Post knows that the major problem there is not whether or not the mail is being delivered in a box or at the front door. The major problem is not getting the mail to the destination on time. My comment (that was deleted) was as follows:
    ”On Monday August the 24th, 2015, I mailed a letter at Moose Jaw, Sk. that was going to Shell Canada Ltd. in Calgary. The letter got there on Sept. 23, 2015. Should the people of Canada be paying for the errors committed by Canada Post?? I could have walked to Calgary and delivered it by hand faster than Canada Post got it there. I deal with a company in Assiniboia, Sk., about 80 KMs from here, sometimes it takes over a week to get there. Time for an overhaul at Canada Post. In the UK, the Royal Mail was privatized, they now deliver anywhere in England within the same day.” (End of comment)

  8. OK, Mr infrastructure builder, here is a project you can hop on as soon as you are done with 24 Sussex.

    THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, October 27, 2015 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, October 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ —
    Royal Dutch Shell plc (“Shell”) today announces that the company will not continue construction of the 80,000 barrel per day Carmon Creek thermal in situ project located in Alberta, Canada.
    Shell originally sanctioned the project in October 2013 and announced in March 2015 that the project would be re-phased to take advantage of the market downturn to optimise design and retender certain contracts. After careful review of the potential design options, updated costs, and the company’s capital priorities, Shell’s view is that the project does not rank in its portfolio at this time. This decision reflects current uncertainties, including the lack of infrastructure to move Canadian crude oil to global commodity markets.

    Sorry SDA, I was highlighting text and I pasted on the wrong page. Let’s try that again. Please delete the former post!05
    I recently posted a comment on Cbc.Ca that was as follows. The comment was deleted, so its safe to say that the CBC and Canada Post are at the same trough.

    I believe that the delays at Canada Post are purposely created by the labour unions to justify squeezing more $$$$ from the government. I sent a much larger envelope to Calgary a week later with Grey Hound Express, it took two days to get there.

  10. Back in the day, worked at the local post office for a summer. A real eye-opener, and a great experience. However, back then, there wasn’t all the flying about of mail. A daily truck came through from Calgary en route to Vancouver. Stopped at all the little towns en route. So we, at our post office, bundled up the post for all the little towns to the west of us, as well as the bigger bags for the larger centres. Mail to the small towns was dropped off en route, and the truck got to Vancouver the next day. Same for the east-bound mail.
    Then Canada Post “improved” things. Everything by air. So all mail from said small town now goes to a central station to be sent to Vancouver to be sorted and then back. Needless to say, now takes a long time to send a letter to the next town down the line.
    Wasn’t all Canada Post’s fault though. Lived up North for a few years at a time when mail was coming by air. Only trouble was that, during breakup, planes didn’t touch down at the local airport and mail was delayed by several weeks. Would Canada Post consider sending mail up the road using Grimshaw Trucking or Byers who were able to get through? Nothing so practical.

  11. Took Canada Post a while to figure out that on Vancouver Island it’s a good idea to have two boxes : one for ON island and one for OFF island. Because before they were sending it over to Vancouver and then back to the island for delivery.

  12. If you have been paying attention to the markets, you would have noticed that there is a negative outlook towards investment in Alberta. Elections have consequences, something that leftists never seem to understand. That moron, Joe(gappy)Ceci, thinks you can run deficits and magically spend your way out of hard economic times. If I sell my house without too much of a loss, I am out of here. I’m too old to live thru this crap again.

  13. Sure is getting interesting watching the tap dancing going on now that Leisuresuit Larry got elected.
    Everything prior to election day was get rid of Harper without any thought about what the replacement would actually be able to do.
    Sorry media, the drama queen made promises and said he was not only going to fufill them but that he was ready to fufill them right now.
    The irony is that the media effort to lower expectations is proving he wasn’t ready for the job.

  15. Well, Canada Post is an independent Crown Corporation so cannot be governed by Pony boy, but I bet all the Crown Corporations are just stuffed with Liberals.

  16. Canada Post has placed a moratorium on conversions and stated that they want to work with the new government. BTW this promise will cost 1 billion/year to ensure that Canadians continue to be treated unequally when it comes to mail service.

  17. Thanks for that bluetech, great interview, Chris Alexander should consider running for leadership. He talks of the frustrations we were all feeling during the last days of the campaign.

  18. The main problem with Canada Post is the trend away from letter mail to package mail. We have a greater demand for parcel service and less demand for letter service. This means less need for door to door mail service.
    Most of our traditional letter mail now comes to our inbox, not our mailbox. Our mailbox is full of junk mail, virtually all of which goes directly to the blue box. As electronic junk mail takes over, what will Canada Post be delivering in 5 years?
    It makes sense to stop door to door delivery and privatize Canada Post as a courier company. We regularly ship packages by Canada Post and their service is good and pricing competitive.

  19. I was thinking yesterday that the best ads to put into a newsprint type circular that you are mailing out would be those of interest to somebody while they are starting a fire in the wood stove or the fireplace. Maybe a good place for a chimney sweep to advertise, or a purveyor of kiln dried cord wood.

  20. Same here, Alberta and ‘ns will be screwed so bad they won’t know where is front and back.
    This mornings herald is full of pro socialist/fascist propaganda they show the idiots smiling and hugging in the chamber. Silly morons can’t believe everything themselves that they get to spent perhaps up to $10 billions so the idiots that voted for them can pay high taxes well into the future.

  21. “Canada Post has placed a moratorium on conversions”
    Canada Post is mandated to operate on at least a break-even basis. Yet when they begin to take steps to save a few bucks by replacing a costly, obsolete and expensive system with something better, Canadians wail and gnash their teeth somewhat akin to Tasmanian Devils.
    All that is required of Canadians is to do something that a great many of their fellow citizens are now doing and have been doing for years. Get off your ass, walk a few feet and pick up your mail at your leisure. Definitely not a great hardship by any standard.
    What the hell is wrong with Canadians nowadays? Crying like petulant brats just because they have to make a miniscule sacrifice in order to get their precious mail. Talk about first world problems!

  22. And of course the “higher than expected” deficit will be Stephen Harper’s fault, as will every upcoming peccadillo of this new government. The mediocracy suppressed the facts that Canada’s GDP grew 54% in the Harper years – despite credit crashes caused by other governments and the drop in oil prices – that our employment increased faster than the growth in our population, and that our wages grew more than inflation during the Harper years, despite the idiotic ON governments causing economic chaos.
    The poor, for whom Harper reduced their taxes, gave new benefits and spared them from the further damage of carbon taxes, weren’t mentioned at all during the campaign, but surely the moving goalpost of the “poverty line” will also be Harper’s fault.
    So the false narrative of the “middle class is crisis” will be regurgitated in all its mendacity and slightly repackaged in time for the next budget, whenever that is.
    Remember trying to tax, spend & borrow your way out of government excesses is good leadership. After all it’s so wise to defer taxation to future generations, as Trudeau Sr did with abandon.
    Gotta laugh, ironically, that the mediocracy is saying there may be “problems” with many of JT’s promises, such as scrapping the CF35, increasing the numbers of young unskilled, unemployed men, I mean “families” as refugees, legalizing marijuana and so on. Of course they held their fire for the good of their allies & influence, I mean the country.
    After all that’s “what Canadians want.” Apparently, though again suppressed during the campaign, they “want” more carbon taxes and our sovereignty sold down the Seine in the upcoming tax grab Paris fossil fuel burning confab in November.
    That’s why I refuse to watch or read their garbage anymore, except to gather evidence of their complete lack of ethics, common sense of professionalism.
    You fell for the show Canada, now you get to pay the ticket.

  23. Plus: head (voter) meet nail (bigger government).
    Cooper: Canadians fall prey to the politics of resentment:
    “Everyone agreed this was not an election about interests. Canadians thought the Conservatives had done a good job managing the economy. As Tom Flanagan remarked on another occasion, quoting Hunter S. Thompson, it was about fear and loathing, where loathing of Harper trumped fear of leaving the country hostage to profound inexperience.”

  24. Just not Ready!
    Kady-the-Baby updates confirmation that she’s got a bad case of PMS P (Prime Minister Shiny-Pony) she is just not ready to do the research necessary to report the news:

    Best tweet I saw about this stupidity was from Howard Margolian: ‏”A Nobel Prize in Medicine to whoever develops a vaccine for Harper Derangement Syndrome.”
    For how many years will these folks suffer from HDS? As long as those who had Bush 43 Derangement Syndrome?
    Kady’s Got PMS-P!

  25. Buy popcorn, Karl and Peterson at NOAA just told the senate committee to get stuffed.
    WUWT.
    I imagine they figure if Lois Lerner and Hillary are immune from being held to account, they will be protected too.
    Unfortunately for them, they are convenient sacrificial goats as the US weasels away from CAGW.

  26. “You are blocked from following @kady and viewing @kady’s Tweets.”
    Apparently she has a thin skin also.
    She tweeted something about not being able to imagine a less gracious way for a PM to leave office.
    I tweeted something about skanks and conspiracy theories.
    I am much closer to the truth.
