    1. Steve – how ironic. Also, she must be a misogynist since she claims there is a difference between men and women.

      Speaking of irony, is the West paying climate reparations to India?

      “India cannot survive without coal as it has no other options,”… “Nuclear and hydro take a decade to build, gas is not available, and LNG is very expensive.

      “Public sector power companies are constructing about 27 GW of thermal plants — almost all coal — but this is insufficient, according to Singh. The country needs “at least 80 GW” of new capacity to meet future demand”

    2. The BBC! These wankers wouldn’t know an influential woman is she slapped them in the face.

  5. The COP 28 climate confab opened today in Dubai. Some 70,000 true believers in the energy transition are said to be gathering. And not one of them appears to be either willing or able to do the simple arithmetic that shows that this can’t possibly work.

    Germany’s average usage of electricity is 58.3 GW. As of June 2023 Germany had (solar and wind) generation capacity of 126.7 GW. But…through the first three quarters of 2023, the percent of its electricity that Germany got from wind and solar was only 52%!

    “…In the past few years, Washington and Wall Street started fantasizing that the transition to net-zero carbon emissions could be an economic bonanza. . . . This year the fantasy ended. . . . [T]he economics of getting to net zero remain, fundamentally, dismal: Someone has to pay for it, and shareholders and consumers decided this year it wouldn’t be them”. Wall Street Journal

      1. Steve – humans exhale CO2 every time we breathe. So Guilbeault should put a cap on the pollution he is emitting from his mouth.

    1. Suspend them, expel them, fire them, and then deport them. They have no business living in a western, supposedly free culture, if they can’t behave themselves in a civilized manner, and respect the rule of law.

      Anyone wants to protest for the “liberation of Palestine,” fine. As abhorrent and ignorant as that position is, I will support your right to protest, as long as you do it peacefully, within the law, and pose no threat of physical harm to others who may disagree with you… vehemently.

      1. This was done on a Friday morning, so they were also, by their actions, intimidating people against entering the building which houses not just that store but other stores and services.

        Leslie Wood, former head of the Sociology Department at York U is also a member of the New Socialists a group that espouses infiltration of government and educational institutions to foment revolution and is a former executive member of the riotous Ontario Coalition Against Poverty.

    2. Dumb Biker – that aligns with what the Wall Street journal is saying in my comment above. They’re is a link within the article I referenced but I don’t have a WSJ subscription. And it’s not just clean energy stocks. ESG has lost its grip on conventional energy stocks.

  9. Woohoo! I’m already there!

    [sigh] OK, not quite. I had a beer last night, black olives on my pizza last weekend, a cappicola sandwich for lunch on Wednesday & I largely work outside. Whaddya s’pose that nets me?

    DRINK WINE, EAT OLIVES AND PROSCIUTTO, SIT IN THE SUN, HAVE SEX

  11. I know nothing about George Santos, past or present. That said, it seems pretty hypocritical to give him the shoe & not mete the same treatment to Jamaal Bowman.

    89 Republicans Join Democrats to Expel George Santos from Congress; Republicans Also Refuse to Hold Vote to Expel Fire-Alarm-Puller and Insurrectionist Jamaal Bowman

    1. Reader – interesting and outrageous but of course there are many, more egregious examples I’m sure. Thanks

  20. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/jury-orders-egg-suppliers-to-pay-17-7-million-in-damages-for-price-gouging-in-2000s/ar-AA1kRQln?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=4af37adb46594fe7b229687a08ce0185&ei=19.

    All you supply management haters out there; why is it pretty well every week in the Ontario Farmer there is an article on a court case in the so called Free market USA of price fixing and collusion.

    I don’t doubt the Canadian system needs changes, too much concentration in too few owners and the processors drive out ‘the little guy’. I welcome your comment

    2. See anchors but no sign of reinforcing steel which I would expect on a structural wall.
      Design or inspection?
      ma dir!

  23. You’ve heard of red ocean and blue ocean? Offshore wind farms are creating “Dead Ocean” which is killing the whales.

    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/12/02/nas-study-raises-concern-over-offshore-wind-harming-endangered-whales/

    Wind turbines take a lot of the energy out of the air, creating a lower energy wake behind the wind turbine facility. Lower energy wind causes lower energy waves so there is much less mixing in the ocean surface layer. This depletes the oxygen level in the water, which can reduce the amount of living food sources that whales eat, which can harm the whales on a population level. This is why it is called the dead ocean effect.

  24. BC NDP.
    “Unexplained wealth ” Law.
    So now anyone who has more than their neighbours shall be called to explain to an NDP Inquisition.. where their assets came from..Under threat of State Seizure.

    NDP “And so comrade,why do you have wealth?”
    Citizen “I worked for it”.

    NDP “What is that”?
    “What is work?”
    Seems to me the communication gap will be impossible to bridge.

    Except with small high velocity message capsules.

  25. The legacy media hate the Conservatives and love the Liberals and NDP, so what to do when Justin is so far behind in the polls? You try to start a movement to get Justin to resign and have him replaced with someone that you think could beat Pierre Poilievre, or at least preserve the Liberal-NDP coalition. Who is that someone? Not Mark Carney; he is too much of an elitist. And not the Deputy Liberal Leader; she is too closely connected to Justin. And so let me present Nova Scotia MP Sean Fraser – he is tall and good looking like Justin, and the legacy media have yet to even question whether he has accomplished anything positive for Canadians. In other words, he has an unblemished image that can be sold to gullible Canadians.

    “Now, some Conservatives argue it would be to their advantage if Trudeau quits in the next year to kickstart an acrimonious hunger game to further weaken and divide the flailing, ailing party.

    But the more Fraser takes centre stage in the Liberal cabinet, the more he impresses as leadership material who would stand in sharp, fresh-faced contrast to often angry and abrasive Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

    And, notwithstanding the potential formidable entry of former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, Fraser could represent the biggest threat to Poilievre’s plan to repaint the PMO Tory blue.”

    1. Why hasn’t every jurisdiction passed the same law as Alberta. You cannot obtain title by prescription. If you’ve crossed a property for eons you might gain an easement.
