  3. Oil to get the Tobacco treatment.
    Some of the world’s largest oil firms face a high-powered U.S. legal effort to investigate them for long knowing, and hiding, the link between burning fossil fuels and destructive climate change. […]
    A total of 17 state attorneys general agreed to coordinate their investigations against ExxonMobil and other giant oil firms suspected of suppressing the risks of climate change for decades from their shareholders and the American public.

  5. I’m old enough to remember what the Club of Rome was and, unfortunately, still is. In the late 1960s/early ’70s, its true motives were revealed by the statement: “Earth has a cancer and that cancer is man.”
    It comes as no surprise that many “climate change” rabble rousers are rich, urban leftists. By pushing the impoverishment of the great unwashed (i. e., people like me), they seek to take power and gather the wealth for themselves.
    This tactic can be summed up by what one wag once said: under capitalism, man exploits man–under socialism, it’s the other way around.

  9. Over the next few months red torries are going to come crawling out of the wood work and demand that the Conservative party return to it’s roots of astonishing and unabated electoral defeat at the hands of incompetent liberal buffoon opposition. The obvious solution to losing one election is to shift far to the left and adopt the opposition’s policies! When they call you mean spirited for disagreeing you’d better start agreeing with them!

  13. There are often supercharger stations between major cities. IIRC, Red Deer has one. Kitted out with wifi, near coffee shops, etc. 20 minutes later and off you go.

  14. CBC Ottawa was on as I waited for figure skating to begin when I heard Kathleen lying again about Ont. Hydro costs to individuals and businesses.
    The woman lives in a dream world.
    I had put off adding up the bills (hydro and propane) for 2015 until then. I’d like to know how many individuals pay $5260.00/yr and live alone in a 1200 sq ft house. The delivery charges can be $2400.00 and more, which is why I began using propane as supplementary heat.
    The woman should be certified.

  15. Just watched an ad (cheapie by for cable and satellite companies) for what looks like the modern Hitler Youth movement. What’s disturbing is that the Feds are also behind it. http://www.earthranger.com The kids commenting in the advertisement sounded pretty brainwashed and radicalised.

  16. If you missed the Munk Debate last night, here’s another chance.
    http://www.steynonline.com/
    It’s a joy to watch Steyn and Farrage show just how vacuous Arbour and Shama are on the topic of immigration. Arbour and Shama resort to the left’s main weapons: snark, condescension, sanctimony, moral superiority. They used it against the wrong opponents last night.

  17. “Some of the world’s largest oil firms face a high-powered U.S. legal effort to investigate them for long knowing, and hiding, the link between burning fossil fuels and destructive climate change.”
    You couldn’t make this up.
    That’s the difference between truth and fiction: fiction has to make sense.
    I’d like to see the US government investigated for complicity with the oil companies for turning a blind eye to the noxious effects of these fossil fuels. And I don’t want to hear any whining about how fossil fuels helped win WWII and build modern America!

  18. “Kitted out with wifi, near coffee shops, etc. 20 minutes later and off you go.”
    20 minutes really? The Tesla web site says an hour charge gets you maybe 30- 50 miles depending on the charger and vehicle.
    An expensive toy not ready for prime time.
    Some think Tesla is ahead of it’s time, but take away the billions in subsidies and in the real market Tesla would fold like a cheap tent.
    Hydrogen is the future, not batteries anyway.

  19. I would like to see a federal investigation into AGW fraud and all its spinoff scams.

  20. I’d like to see the US government investigated for complicity with the oil companies for turning a blind eye to the noxious effects of these fossil fuels
    You are joking, Right?

  21. What do you think? (Of course I am.)
    But notice when they went all high and might over tobacco no one saw any need to go after governments for complicity (for example, including cigarettes as part of soldiers’ rations).

  22. Can’t believe the lineup of suckers gullible enough to line up to put down a deposit for an electric car they haven’t yet seen, and don’t know the final price of.
    Whatever the advertised range, how would the car perform in a Jan blizzard on a Sun evening, when you really need to get somewhere? Or what does one do in a winter massive traffic jam when the charge is running down?
    Maybe these folks have watched Who Killed The Electric Car too many times on CBC.

  23. You are, no doubt, familiar with the phrase “If you have to ask what the price is, you can’t afford it.” The market that Elon Musk is pitching the Telsa to isn’t the blue collar paycheque crowd.

  26. Radical enviroemntalists want to return much of america to wilderness thats why they came up with THE WILDLANDS PROJECT why else do they want to tear down dams and destory farms and ranches and then theres another idiot idea from the eco-wackos The Buffalo Commons created by a pair of university nutcases Frank and Debera Popper these eco-freaks are the real hazard to the enviroment not agriculture or SUV,s its the eco-nut cases themselves

  27. Nailed it B!
    The LIEBLeft does not care what the price of stuff is, its more important to be cool, and look cool, than to be financially responsible. Look at Turdope. I don’t care really, if they want to buy a pig in a poke, have at her! If they want electric roller skates, so be it. Its the subsidies that get under my skin, and of course the “free” charging stations, which all taxpayers also pay for charging the politically correct cars.
    Oh, and Tesla has NEVER made a profit as a company, and its not about to either. Elon is a master of hype, but short on delivering as promised.

  29. “Reject UN’s Jew hatred
    Why Trudeau should end Canada’s pursuit of a seat on the Security Council” (Sun)
    …-
    “What is it about the Left which makes anti-Semitism so common?”
    “With MPs alleging that Luciana Berger was only listed as “hostile” to Jeremy Corbyn on a leaked party memo “because she is Jewish”, it’s time for Labour to confront the issue of anti-semitism head on.
    It can be hard for people on the Left to admit that our movement has a problem with bigotry.”

  30. My observation is that the enviro-fanatic set is basically an urban phenomena. Wynne, Dion, Klein, McKenna, Trudeau, all hail form big cities. One reason they might think an electric car was just the cat’s meow for efficient transportation. An electric golf cart might work for a few city blocks or a short commute. For lugging feed and supplies or traveling unpaved terrain, not so good, and for winter conditions, forget it. These people have a very fuzzy concept of food that appears in their shopping carts; they remain clueless as to how it is grown and transported and what fuels are essential to do that.
    There is a basic inconsistency with aiming to conserve electricity, and promoting general use of electric vehicles. In Ont, nuclear, the mainstay of the power grid is viewed distastefully not a “renewable” thus bad.
    Hydro has mostly been developed, so future power sources will come from…wind turbines? This is so absurd as to not be worth considering, yet Wynne and her acolytes must believe it. It makes as much sense to mount a sail on the car and directly power them with wind.

  31. After lunch out yesterday my wife said she needed to pop next door to pick up a couple birthday cards. Uh oh! I know what that means.
    1/2 hour minimum. So I settled into my car; dropped the seat way back bed-like and waited …. and waited …. and fumed …. and waited.
    Was on the verge of running into the shop and announcing that I would be driving away in 5 MINUTES when she opened the car door.
    Anyway, these pictures of poor bastards stuck in shopping hell really cracked me up.

  32. I agree that Musk is a huckster, though the only business of his that’s reasonably successful is SpaceX. However, even with that I’m skeptical about his claims.
    We’ve been promised a Falcon-9 Heavy for quite some time and I haven’t heard yet as to when it’ll fly. (At least it has a higher probability of being launched than NASA’s Space Launch System.) In addition, he will, apparently, be announcing his plans to going to Mars later this year.
    Well, at least he’s not as bad in his promises as Richard Branson is with Virgin Galactic.

  33. AGW RIP.
    What is it about red-green agwists that makes them lying liars?
    “The false, overly warm NOAA result is shown in the “Before fix” image below (left). The corrected version is depicted by the “After fix” image (right).”
    …-
    “Huge NOAA Correction! 2016 Likely Will Not Even Be Close To Setting New Temperature Record As La Niña Kicks In”
    “The NOAA/CFSv2 modelers have in the meantime admitted to a cold bias in their programming, foremost at the equatorial in the Atlantic, which led to a false computation of the equatorial Pacific (ENSO) computation, as Dr. Roy Spencer of the UAH reported:”
