    “TIMMINS — The power plant in Iroquois Falls has been asked by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to produce significantly less electricity for the next four months, although they will continue to be paid the amount stipulated in their contract with the operator despite the decreased production.
    Northland Power confirmed last Thursday that its Iroquois Falls cogeneration station has been given a “paid four-month curtailment,” which will last until April.”

  17. Today Jan 9 Danielle Smith (yes that DS) interviewed Dr Tim Ball on her radio show on QR770 Calgary. Ball took Mo Strong and IPCC out to the woodshed. The interview took place between 11:30 and noon. If you can access the show through the podcast section of QR770 and post it I think the SDA crowd would like to hear it.

    “Deadly Deep Freeze Gripping Europe”
    “Blizzards and dangerously low temperatures have left villages cut off, caused power and water outages, frozen rivers and lakes, grounded flights, cancelled trains, delayed ferries and closed roads.
    Serbian authorities banned river traffic on its stretch of the Danube — one of Europe’s main rivers — because of ice and strong winds.
    Heavy snow crippled Istanbul, where one of the main highways resembled a parking lot after drivers deserted their cars.”

    “And most black spokespeople shamelessly defended Obama’s silences and crimes in the name of racial symbolism and their own careerism. How hypocritical to see them now speak truth to white power when most went mute in the face of black power. Their moral authority is weak and their newfound militancy is shallow.”

    “The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. *This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

  21. President-elect Trump is under all out attack by leftists, huffing and puffing impotently they are going to stop him, feigning non-existent power.
    Meanwhile, while still in office, for now, Obama’s so-called legacy crumbles as every hallmark of his sorry record is put in the political dustbin:
    “If words and erudition were the hallmarks of policy accomplishment, U.S. President Barack Obama would stand tall, but his legacy is crumbling even before he leaves the White House. As CNN’s Fareed Zakaria observed, Mr. Obama is “an intensely charismatic politician, but he was not able to build a political base underneath him.” His considerable skills at oratory seldom transcended into an ability to deliver results or a coherent plan of action.”
    Mr. Obama leaves office with an American polity that is less coherent and more divided than it was during the Vietnam War. An anti-globalization, anti-elite populism is shifting the contours of politics in America in strange, new directions. Self-interest and nationalism are now in the ascendancy.”
    On the domestic front, Mr. Obama’s singular achievement on health care is about to be repealed and replaced.”
    His top global priority, climate change – “there is no greater threat to our planet” – did not gain support from Congress even when the Democrats were in control of both chambers. His staunch, and no doubt deeply felt commitment, was not seen as a prime concern for the American public whose attention focused more persistently on jobs and cheap energy.”

    “The People’s Cube entry has just been deleted from Wikipedia. First the Wiki-prog-editors defaced it by removing all the valid content and references, leaving only disparaging language. Then they voted to delete it altogether because there was no valid content and references left.
    Congratulations, comrades. We are now officially a non-site populated by non-persons sharing non-thoughts and making non-jokes. Right now I feel pretty much the way I felt while living in the USSR where an invisible hand obstructed any of my efforts to manifest my existence.
    I know it’s only Wikipedia and we still have our site, but this is a trend typical of Google and social media, let alone the MSM. ”
