Progressives complain that when they go down to the States all they hear on the radio is religious programmes.
But lately all I hear on the radio here are guests talking about sustainable development, climate change or electric cars or something related to the environment. Talk about pollution! Talk about religious fervour!
And it is all put forward as if we haven’t heard it all a million times, especially our children.

The Mainstream Media Is Suffering From Freedom Envy

1. They use the tools of journalists………. and of the Internet ……… to look for and find facts that have been overlooked, ignored or hidden.
And 6 other points about the freedom of blogger as opposed to “mass media”
Something to ponder.
So, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pronunciation of “California” is correct after all !
Ben Carson rips the media:
It’s long but worth it.

Not often Al Jazeera has anything worth reading but Brazil’s rush into the same garbage can that contains Venezuela , Greece and Cuba was rather intriguing. Couldn’t help comparing the Video to our own Canada and how fast things can change when the budget balances itself.

Also amusing that the 3 people interviewed had their identity masked as noted by the editor. Bet they would be really really hard to find.

If Stephen Harper had called out the media like this (and not even mentioned Trudeau, because why bother giving an opponent free airtime?), he’d probably still be PM.
Media Party trading cards

I know this was already posted earlier, but has anyone actually read the trading cards? Most of the cute “Interesting Facts” are quite shocking and alarming.
Everything from convicted terrorists to John McCallum’s drinking problem.
The most interested fact about Herr Leader Trudeau is he can fall down stairs without injury.
What is most alarming but predictable is the fact that so many of the ministers and ministers lite were activists in environmental groups with young people.
And is nothing sacred anymore? Hockey and baseball cards – leave them alone.

“Trees died atop one another until they were 100 metres or more in depth. This was the making of the great coal beds around the world as this huge store of sequestered carbon continued to build for 90 million years. Then, fortunately for the future of life, white rot fungi evolved to produce the enzymes that can digest lignin and coincident with that the coal-making era came to an end.”

“Eighteen years, nine months.

That’s the length of time since there has been any significant increase in global temperatures.”

“Greenpeace founder Dr. Patrick Moore addressed the Global Warming Policy Foundation in London last night, telling them why he left the environmentalist group and became sceptical of man-made global warming.”
“Trees died atop one another until they were 100 metres or more in depth. This was the making of the great coal beds around the world as this huge store of sequestered carbon continued to build for 90 million years. Then, fortunately for the future of life, white rot fungi evolved to produce the enzymes that can digest lignin and coincident with that the coal-making era came to an end.
There was no guarantee that fungi or any other decomposer species would develop the complex of enzymes required to digest lignin. If they had not, CO2, which had already been drawn down for the first time in Earth’s history to levels similar to todays, would have continued to decline as trees continued to grow and die. That is until CO2 approached the threshold of 150 ppm below which plants begin first to starve, then stop growing altogether, and then die. Not just woody plants but all plants. This would bring about the extinction of most, if not all, terrestrial species, as animals, insects, and other invertebrates starved for lack of food. And that would be that. The human species would never have existed. This was only the first time that there was a distinct possibility that life would come close to extinguishing itself, due to a shortage of CO2, which is essential for life on Earth.”

Don’t know much about Canadian politics but I flipped through the cards just to see what everyone was talking about.
I noticed that Kristy Duncan won the Nobel Prize ….
I thought we were done hearing this nonsense after discrediting Michael Mann’s claim.
Change: “[…] half of his cabinet did not swear in with a religious oath. Instead, they opted to take a Solemn Affirmation that didn’t include any mention of God”

I just came here to post the Moore speech link Maz2 but you beat me too it.
Would simple common sense not tell you to halt all immigration from the ME until ISIS is brought down?
It’s being reported investigators are now 90% sure the recent Russian jet was brought down by bomb.
There is no foolproof way we can be sure who all these so-called refugees are. Bringing them here could be spreading their network, risking our country and indeed all Western countries. Sadly they are probably using women and children as cover, they cannot be trusted.
We’ve come a long way on many fronts but not fighting our enemies like radical Islamist rats is an insult to all our men and women who fought for our freedoms and safety through two world wars and more.
The Trudeau Liberal Cabal is not going to fight ISIS in the ME, our jets are coming home, our allies are being deserted, perhaps the most mind numbing act out of gate we’ve seen in our history from any political leadership.
Even a blind journalistic squirrel can sometimes find a nut of truth:

The next Conservative government should move the National Capitol to somewhere near the Geographic Centre of Canada: The Four Corners — the intersection of the boundary of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, NWT and Nunavut. That ought to keep the Laurentian Elite domination of the Public Service to a minimum. It would still be on the Canadian Shield.

“Trudeau admires China’s ‘basic dictatorship'”
“Trudeau’s answer:”
“You know, there’s a level of of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say ‘we need to go green fastest . . . we need to start investing in solar.’ I mean there is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about of having a dictatorship that he can do everything he wanted that I find quite interesting.”

Remember your failed long gun registry?
Maryland and New York State tried to make a shell casing registry. It was a worse failure than your registry. No crimes were solved using it. They needed 8 people full time just to store the incoming casings. Eight people that could be fighting crime.

We are going to be SO screwed over with new taxes.

So weird hearing John McCallum’s voice on the radio. It’s as if we have entered the twilight zone and we are back in the Chretien and Martin administrations. I remember him as Defence Minister mixing up the battle of Vimy (Ridge) and Vichy France and most notably, knowing nothing about Dieppe.
