    Enough with the Hillary cult: Her admirers ignore reality, dream of worshipping a queen

    “As a lifelong Democrat who will be enthusiastically voting for Bernie Sanders in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, I have trouble understanding the fuzzy rosy filter through which Hillary fans see their champion. So much must be overlooked or discounted—from Hillary’s compulsive money-lust and her brazen indifference to normal rules to her conspiratorial use of shadowy surrogates and her sociopathic shape-shifting in policy positions for momentary expedience.”
    So gentle.

    Let’s stop pretending ‘social licence’ is an actual thing
    Alberta’s NDP government found itself goaded into an international snipe hunt for a social licence to operate its oil industry and get the product to market. Bear in mind that the industry complies with all available social, economic and environmental regulations, and that its product is desired by consumers across Canada and around the world. Yet Premier Notley became convinced that Alberta’s oil still lacked legitimacy because it was missing a so-called social licence.
    Unfortunately, the same folks who convinced Notley of this also set themselves up as the arbiters of who gets a licence and who doesn’t. Climate activists hung out a shingle as the Social Licensing Bureau, and Notley played along.

  4. Rachel Notley and her leftist cohorts have cut 15 million from Alberta’s wildfire control budget. Like helloooo Rachel!! On the eve of ”Earth Day,” would preventing wildfires not reduce the amount of CO2 and other pollutants considerably more that what you and your Ottawa counterparts have been proposing?? Your friend Justin Trudeau with his infinite wisdom of quantum physics must understand the damages of wildfires?? Would he not throw in a few coins in the fountain for you?? Check this out Rachel!!

  6. Prince was different in the way he managed his career.
    Prince was always working on new stuff unlike most acts who continually reprise a catalogue of their hits.
    To this day I could hear a Prince song and not be exactly sure who the artist is.
    He was not conventional.

  7. It’s pretty kewl how Prince decided to OD just in time for Kate’s automotive-themed Reader Tip week. Otherwise, Little Red Corvette might have fallen even further down the iTunes playlist. Good career move little man !

  8. What the Liberal Puppet has signed us on to at the UN will cost us dearly and tke us back to the days of the outhouse. We better start taking note of how the Amish live, we are on our way to that reality.
    Especially women who will be doing slave labour in their own homes and men will use horses to plow the land.

  9. So true. Obama has shoved all our faces into the dirt on this “EARTH Day”. I find it wildly ironic that a man who embraces new technology in every other field of endeavor … rejects it in the arena of Energy production. Instead, he forces a return to windmills and 1970’s solar panels and electric cars that were rejected in 1908. Truly ignorant.

  10. Liberal slush fund paid for by your inaction.
    Assistant Parliamentary Budget Officer Mostafa Askari told CTV’s Power Play that their study, released Thursday, found that the level of carbon pricing required to meet the emissions reduction target Canada agreed to in Paris last fall — 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 — would reduce GDP by one to three per cent per year.
    That would translate to an average hit to annual incomes of $600 to $1,800 per person.”
    Can you imagine how high it will get?
    A tax on stupidity.
    The sky is the limit.

  11. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s UN emission reduction target — which used to be Stephen Harper’s — is a fantasy.
    Canada’s pledge, at a minimum, is to reduce our GHG emissions to 30% below 2005 levels by 2030, 17% by 2020.
    Trudeau’s 2030 target would require Canada to cut GHG emissions by 202 megatonnes (Mt) annually, the equivalent of shutting down our entire oil and gas sector (179 Mt) in 15 years, and still come up 23 Mt short.
    Trudeau’s 2020 pledge requires a cut of 104 Mt, equivalent to closing 58% of Canada’s oil and gas sector in five years.
    To underscore the absurdity of this, it’s estimated B.C.’s carbon tax will reduce Canada’s emissions by 3 Mt by 2020.
    Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s cap-and-trade scheme doesn’t start until 2017 and won’t reduce emissions, if ever, until 2018.
    Alberta Premier Rachel Notley doesn’t know if her new carbon tax will cut emissions, because the only sure thing about a carbon tax is that it raises government revenues, not that it cuts emissions.
    Norway imposed a carbon tax in 1991 and concluded 13 years ago it was ineffective at reducing emissions.
    What will happen is that the Trudeau government will fall further behind its reduction targets, but face no penalties for doing so, while carbon pricing will penalize Canadians by taking billions of dollars out of our pockets annually.
    It will be the modern version of papal indulgences — the price we pay for the “sin” of using fossil fuels to live in a big, cold, northern, sparsely populated, resource-based country — while GHG emissions continue to rise.
    Our federal and provincial governments will confiscate billions of dollars from us every year, claiming they are saving the planet, while never having to meet even their own made-up emission targets.
    In other words, they’ve come up with the perfect scam.
