And Hell has truly frozen over.
“One only had to examine the official Environment Canada data for Ontario as well as for the entire country to acknowledge that the claim made in the article was inaccurate. Such acknowledgement would at the same time have addressed the complainant’s criticism regarding the lack of data to corroborate Dr. Feltmate’s claim about the increased frequency of extreme rainfall events in Canada. To make that correction, and for it to be meaningful, the writer would no doubt have had to change more than just the sentence in question – which, I admit, would have contradicted, in part, the theory described in the article and the accompanying interview with Dr. Feltmate.
h/t Political Junkie
Let’s face it. Everything is getting worse, worser than thought. We are doomed; all doomed.
May as well build a few pipelines just for the hell of it. After all, we are doomed anyway. Make a buck while the going is good.

Check out the replies to the article…
In those replies I was on a few good rants, huh? – thankfully the Ombudsman considered it all thoroughly. In those replies there are also links to my blog http://www.cityfloodmap.com with posts with deep dives into the media-myths we always see around extreme rainfall and flooding. If you want to see the original articles the Ombudsman had corrected I have links to those on my blog too at this post https://www.cityfloodmap.com/2019/01/cbc-ombudsman-decision-finds-lack-of.html
I skimmed your two links and have to agree 100% with everything I read and particularly one comment I read, “M Muir says that flooding in the area he knows around southern Ontario shows that flooding is most likely due to urban expansion and not from increased rainfall”.
In my thirty-five year experience on rural municipal council here in Saskatchewan unsupervised or illegal land drainage created water pressures downstream and in some cases even led to some localized flooding problems for some people. The provincial authorities are keeping closer tabs on this sort of activity these days. This is a sort of urban expansion in that it is an expansion of arable land at the expense of unloading the water onto another landowner downstream.
Thanks for doing the dog work on those, Robert. It’s an uphill battle countering a doomsday cult whose response to being caught in a lie seems to be to replace that lie with ten new ones.
In the middle of lefty Ottawa, my newly installed wood stove has a nice blaze going. Hopefully my MP Catherine No-Time McKenna can smell it. Of course I could never match PM Juthtin’s “carbon footprint”.
You can’t buy this kind of pig stupid.
‘Little Ice Age’ which froze the River Thames caused by Americas genocide, study finds ”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2019/01/31/little-ice-age-cased-thames-freeze-caused-americas-genocide/
The little ice age started around 1350.
Columbus arrived in1492. Did the mass die-off start immediately?
Did the Themes freeze at all in the pre discovery 140 years?
“To mention a few instances: we are told that in the reign of Stephen, in the year 1150, “after a very wet summer there was in December so great a frost that horses and carriages crossed it upon the ice as safely as upon the dry ground, and that the frost lasted till the following month of March.” Again we read that in 1281 the Thames was frozen over, and that on the breaking up of the ice five of the arches of old London Bridge were carried away. “In 1434,” says Northouck, “the Thames was so strongly frozen over, that merchandise and provisions brought into the mouth of the river were obliged to be unladen, and brought by land to the city.” In 1515, too, carriages passed over on the ice from Lambeth to Westminster. At this time it is said the frost and snow were so severe that five arches of London Bridge were “borne downe and carried away with the streame.” On the 21st of December, 1564, during the prevalence of a hard frost, we read of diversions on the Thames, some playing at football, and others “shooting at marks.” The courtiers from the palace at Whitehall mixed with the citizens, and tradition reports that Queen Elizabeth herself walked upon the ice. On the night of the 3rd of January following, however, it began to thaw, and on the 5th there was no ice to be seen on the river. In 1620 a great frost enabled the Londoners to carry on all manner of sports and trades upon the river.”

I have never given money to homeless panhandlers. Today at -25 C I gave some poor half frozen bastard a $20 pizza gift certificate. The guy looked at me like I’d just saved his life.
Me either, but I might do the same on a day like this.
Even the corrected article is bad enough, blaming “urban sprawl” (i.e. building homes) for flooding due to destruction of precious wetlands.
The attitude remains that only a few rich Chinese ought to be suffered to live in homes fit to raise a family in, with the rest of us confined to single rooms in crime-ridden concrete warrens.
Climate change is just one excuse not to build enough family homes to bring prices to their natural level, viz. what an honest man can buy with a third of his income a year over ten years. The globalists have plenty of others.
There were 2.3 billion people in 1945, there are 7.5 billion people and rising. Government will do their very best to make sure all live at a level of misery commensurate with your party association. There is more than adequate land that is not on a flood plain to build housing, there is however insufficient wealth for everyone to have everything. Nature will take care of the problem.
It’s neglect. I am from Burlington and my backyard faces a huge pond that is fed by a creek. In the 11 years I have been living here this ‘conversation area’ has not been cleaned even a single time. Even the mayor’s house was flooded (he was finally voted out). Fortunately the city has money for important things, though, like redesigning the city web site to celebrate muslim invaders during Christmas 2015.
