Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Avery Haines, 2015


Avery Haines, 2000: “It’s not so much about me any more,” she says. “It’s about people feeling they can’t say anything.”

Ms. Haines has already blocked me on Twitter, precious thing.
Beauty. This story has been corrected to state that the men Hunt confronted were not hurling vulgarities.

Wynneing!

Alternative Subsidy If Women Ran The World 20 Comments

Gwyn Morgan;

Ontario’s Green Energy Act offered so-called “feed-in rates” almost four times existing electricity rates for wind and more than 10 times for solar power. Like bees to honey, wind and solar companies rushed in. By the time the government realized that these subsidies were driving Ontario from one of the lowest to one of the highest power cost jurisdictions in North America, the province had signed myriad 20-year-locked-in-rate-guaranteed contracts that will drive power rates up a further 40 per cent to 50 per cent in coming years. Adding salt to this self-inflicted wound is the reality that much of the green power comes on stream when it isn’t needed. This unneeded electricity is dumped into the United States at bargain-basement prices that Ontario’s Auditor-General found has already cost Ontario power consumers billions of dollars, with much bigger losses yet to come before those 20-year contracts expire.
Investors have reason to become bullish on the oil patch but one observer cautions that some companies may be adopting a dividend-paying structure simply to pump up their stock price.
It’s time to admit that energy stocks are terrible long-term investments
Given these disastrous results, one would think that Ms. Wynne and her cabinet colleagues would have carefully studied experience in other jurisdictions before implementing green policy two.

This gives me the vapours;

Women in the public service go on disability leave at almost twice the rate of men, a problem some experts say should be addressed as part of the government’s new disability management scheme.
The federal disability insurance plan, managed by Sun Life Financial, is the biggest in Canada. A Sun Life report obtained by the Citizen shows women have ended up on long-term disability at rates vastly disproportionate to their numbers in the public service for more than a decade, especially for mental health conditions.
