  1. Sitting here listening to “Old Man From the Mountain” as I type. They don’t make ’em like that anymore. Saw him many years ago at the Queen E in Vancouver and that was the first and last time I was ever there.

  2. Great article i. Those data absolutely must be wrong since we know that only mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, anti-science Deniers would ever question the models.

  3. I can still hear Merle Haggard on the Wurlitzer jukebox of some smokey small town Saskatchewan hotel, back in the early 1970’s when we played shuffleboard and Boston, while sipping on a Calgary or a Blue.
    Here’s Merle on a genuine Wurlitzer.

  4. Coup in Libya:
    The result is that the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) the UN backed in December 17, 2015 has been torn up. Gone also is the LPA’s stipulation that new chiefs must be appointed to the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) and the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) which hold tens of billions of dollars of foreign assets. Instead, the former chiefs, approved by Libya Dawn, have taken control.
    The big winners are the Muslim Brotherhood and various factions from Misrata, the twin heads of Libya Dawn, who, despite losing in the 2014 elections, now have international recognition from Western powers, and through this control of Libya’s vast overseas assets.

  5. This is the sort of mess you get when you don’t adequately adjust the data.

  6. Looks like the Oxford letter is a hoax – too bad. But the new head has said some interesting things.

  7. The liberals new “Open Government Strategy”:

  9. I’ll miss Hag. He was an original who never forgot where the music came from.
    Always had a great brand. Guitar players Roy Nichols, Redd Volkaert and even the troubled jazz player Clint Strong.
    Lefty was never too far away from Hag even when he headed out on the bus with Bob Wills ending up on Bourbon St.
    Today ‘country’ music is a white bread bland formula of cowboy hats, T&A. Carrie Underwear types. The ‘music’ is 90% visual.
    A country musician buddy of mine said, “she took the tree outa country.”
    Thanks Merle

  10. Someone told me that the Hag had died and I began a joyous jig thinking it was the end of the Hillary campaign then I found out it was Merle and I stopped dancing. RIP Merle I hope the Good Lord enjoys your singing as much as I did.

  11. I can certainly identify with those days. Sitting back and relaxing, lighting up a smoke without someone whining and enjoying a cold Bohemian (“a Saskatchewan tradition”). The only thing I don’t miss about those times was the provincial government.

  12. Here we go again,
    Another woman wants Sarah Palin to be raped by big black men.
    here is her twitter message,
    ” … Sarah Palin needs to have her hair shaved off to a buzz cut, get headf*cked by a big veiny, ashy, black d*ck, then be locked in a cupboard…”
    The media will brainwash you all day about Donald Trump’s supposed violence but they will never ever let you see this,

  14. Someone mentioned that Trudeau issues fulsome best wishes to Muslims at the end of Ramadan, but for Easter . . . nothing! I do not know if this is true, but if it is we really are in deep trouble.

  15. The one-sentence version of the article is that the Israel critics are hypocrites. But hypocrisy is the left’s modus operandi these days. They need to be pummelled with that accusation and with the knowledge that we’re on to them.
