So, as many of us suspected, much of the flow from the proposed new Enbridge pipeline will be going down the West Coast to the U.S., not all of it to Asia as had previously been suggested. So much then for the lack of danger to the Pacific West Coast and all the more [...]
Expect those First Nations that are now opposed to the Northern Gateway pipeline which proposes to export as much oil as we possibly can to China, as quickly as we can, to be bribed by big dollars from the oil companies regardless of the H20 emissions and the other important environmental considerations? Think these [...]
An Ipsos Reid poll published this week in the National Post tells us that only 32% of Canadian journalists and only 25% of our national politicians are regarded as “highly trustworthy”. No comment necessary. * * * * * Christopher Hitchens, writing in the New York Times, says of Henry Kissinger that he should [...]
Don Martin, in the National Post, writes “there’s a very high possibility that Canada would have dissolved in the 1970s or at least faced very serious disruption had Trudeau not been prime minister.” Surprising comment from a surprising source. “After his death, polls christened Mr. Trudeau the best prime minister in history, with a [...]
Isn’t it so typical of the National Post to publish a long negative article by an American (Steven Globerman) attacking Canada’s recent potash decision as being unbeneficial from the standpoint of public policy. Does anyone care what this guy thinks? * * * * * A real potential for catastrophe! The proposed Enbridge Gateway [...]
A reminder: more than 75% of eligible Canadians did not vote for Stephen Harper in the last federal election. * * * * * Robert Reich points out that in the U.S.A., during the 1970s, CEOs made 40 times the revenue of workers. In 2010, it’s 350 times!!!! The top hedge fund bosses made [...]
Phew! What a relief! Now we can all sleep easier. The experts in our Senate have “studied” the matter and now tell us not to worry about drilling for oil in the deep Atlantic where new wells will be twice as deep as in the Gulf of Mexico, and not in the Arctic either [...]
As you know, President Obama and most of the leadership of the Democrats in the U.S. Congress are anxious to pass new legislation which is intended to block the sort of reckless financial behaviour that led to the 2008-2009 world financial crisis, the loss worldwide of hundreds of millions of jobs, sharply increased world [...]
If you have access to HBO, there is an excellent drama that they have recently shown twice and will be certain to show again soon. It is set in Russia, a mystery-drama based on true events, called CitizenX, one of the best dramas I have seen on TV. Warning, it concerns a serial killer [...]
Alas, it turns out that Obama’s recent moves re nuclear weapons were more modest than many of us had at first believed. For a very good analysis, go to consortiumnews.com and see the article by ex CIA official Melvin A. Goodman. It’s very well done and definitely worth reading. http://www.consortiumnews.com/2010/042010c.html * * * * [...]
