  1. I was reading Kate’s blog just below this feature on false temperature records.
    Tonight I was looking at the Temp for our region. The temps were as follows.
    Weather.com: 3°F
    Environment Canada: -16°C
    Weather Channel: 5°F
    Weather Network: -16°C
    While the temp. difference from Weather.Com to Weather Channel is 2°F, I wonder how many so called ”climatology students” err in misinterpreting Fahrenheit for Celsius? Much the same as they most likely misinterpret actual temp. for wind chill temp. And much the same as educated and highly trained aircraft pilots have misinterpreted liters for gallons or pounds! Errors that have led to crashes or forced landings!!

  2. Here’s a readers tip for everybody and it comes with a *WARNING*
    **EXTREME GRAPHIC CONTENT**
    This is a video of the scumbags of ISIS that have trained kids as young as 8 years old and up to be Jihadists
    This video shows the pistol armed kids training as an assault team to clear a building
    These children in the video are actually MURDERING captured “enemies” of ISIS
    There is some serious video production values being used in the making of this ISIS propaganda film including the use of GoPro cameras
    All of the world’s liberals need to watch this video so as to get it into their deluded brains as to the kind of people,including CHILDREN,that are out there trying to get here and destroy us.

  3. Click on link below and see if the actual document signed by Pres. Donald J. Trump resembles the coverage of it given by the Mendacious Mainstream Media?
    ————————————————————————————-
    The White House
    Office of the Press Secretary
    For Immediate Release
    January 27, 2017
    EXECUTIVE ORDER: PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/27/executive-order-protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states

  4. Exec Order:
    Sec. 8. Visa Interview Security. (a) The Secretary of State shall immediately suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program and ensure compliance with section 222 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1222, which requires that all individuals seeking a nonimmigrant visa undergo an in-person interview, subject to specific statutory exceptions.
    This means Obama had an open/lax Border policy using a Waiver program .. The State Dept/Immigration were not interviewing the Visa applicant (Normally done without a Lawyer present) This is the only way that the paper work (done by Lawyer) & the applicant are verified as been one & the same…..

  5. One degree Celsius is approximately two degrees Fahrenheit, 1.8°F actually. Temperatures reported in integer degrees Fahrenheit are inherently more precise than temperatures reported in integer degrees Celsius.
    3°F=-16.1°C, so the Weather Channel was the only inaccurate one.

  6. Man, this Alberta carbon tax is seriously effective. Not but five weeks into it, SW Alberta gets 2 feet plus yesterday plus another ip to two to come. Twenty below, too!
    All hail climate guru Notley!

  7. This is very good — thought provoking and gets at the essence of the political errors being made regarding radical Islam.

  8. A big shout out to CBC and NP . Thank you for linking your stories about what Donald Trump is doing with the skits from SNL . I wouldn’t know what to think if these bastions of ” truth ” were not protecting us from fake news!

  9. Grit taxaction checklist:
    Problem: Conned boomers’ kids (Echoes) on affluence though debt, economics from the heart and somebody else pays, without results.
    Solution: Tax increases just when Echoes’ earnings hit the tax jackpot zone, as they join the productive, and of course continued pillaging of the poor.
    Problem: Misled boomers about terrible economy, $60b “investment” = $0, but can’t increase taxes ’cause they might get their nice hair pulled out.
    Solution: Increase taxes for Echoes while continuing the cool con, then decreasing OAS for grandparents to pay for a national daycare bribe.
    Perfect.
    Everybody happy :>)? Except the grandparents paying at both ends of the trough. Laundering middle class dough at 40% commission while taxing air.
    Next challenge: convince gullible 411/905 belters and other naïve big city dwellers it’s good for them, in fact it’s the Liberal, er Canadian way:
    “Feds’ advisers call for higher retirement age and, possibly, national child care.”

  10. Meh, I’ve been calling for a higher retirement age for nearly two decades, and Harper also proposed raising the retirement age.
    The very first pension plan was set up in 1889 by Otto von Bismarck. Originally retirement age was set at 70, the expected lifespan if one did not die in childhood or during childbirth. They bumped that back to 65 in 1916, and pretty much every country that adopted a pension plan followed suit.
    The retirement age in the early 21st century should be closer to 80 or 85.

  11. This does not make a lot of sense in an era of fewer and fewer jobs. Having 80 year old hang on to good professional positions, while young people serve coffee at Starbucks is nuts. I agreed with Harper raising the retirement age for fiscal reasons, but no need to go overboard.

  12. Love that McCarthy sketch! When Trump hired Sean Spicer to be his Press Secretary, I wondered about it. I understand now. Spicer is John Baird ON STEROIDS.

  13. AGW RIP.
    Two investigations to begin; NOOA will investigate itself and the House Science Committee will investigate NOOA.
    Will the House Committee be subpoenaing witnesses to testify at a public hearing under oath of perjury?

  15. “The retirement age in the early 21st century should be closer to 80 or 85.”
    Really? Would you hire a 80 year old electrician, plumber, pipe fitter, welder, etc .?
    Would you want to fly with a 80 year old pilot, ride with a 80 year old cabbie or bus driver?
    Would get an 80 year old doctor, physical therapist, nurse, pharmacist, etc?
    Would you buy anything from an 80 year except a grave?
    At some point Ed, you gotta be realistic.
