Thoughts on BC Politics and More

  Have you ever wondered why pipelines are considered a horrible environmental blight in Canada, but nowhere else in the world? The answer is simple ... Canada cannot market its oil and gas products without pipelines. If some people want to keep Canada out of participating in the world petroleum markets, demonizing pipelines makes it impossible to extend or build new pipelines to seaports and domestic markets and the blockade mission is accomplished. The highly successful environmental push to block Canada’s petroleum industry growth and with it a booming economy, full employment and billions for research into more efficient and effective ways to burn petroleum products more cleanly is a successful public relations campaign that has very little basis in truth. It is not the first time we have been hoaxed by industriali...

Few people understand that every province in Canada has separate sovereignty different from that of the federal government. Our Constitution, Section 92 sets it out:      92. In each Province the Legislature may exclusively make Laws in relation to Matters coming within the Classes of Subjects next hereinafter enumerated ; that is to say,        1. Repealed.        2. Direct Taxation within the Province in order to the raising of a Revenue for Provincial Purposes.        3. The borrowing of Money on the sole Credit of the Province.        4. The Establishment and Tenure of Provincial Offices and the Appointment and Payment of Provincial Officers.        5. The Management and Sale of the Public Lands belonging to the Province and of the Timber and Wood thereon.        6. The Es...

Beware of herd mentality . Why adopt a belief just because it conforms to what the vast majority thinks? Isn’t it healthy to question what we are told or read? Shouldn’t we use the brain we were given for independent thought? In the 1600’s, Galileo argued in favour of a controversial theory that had been promoted by Copernicus who came before him. This theory was wildly out-of-step with dogma set by the establishment of the time. Like Copernicus, Galileo was written-off as a quack. His ridiculous opinions flew in the face of what the scientific community knew to be true.  Despite massive criticism by his colleagues, he continued to speak out. He put forward that the Sun did not revolve around the Earth. It was the other way around. The Earth revolved around the Sun. This theory was known as “Heliocentrism”. This alarmed the church and state. If Galileo’s dangerous ideas spread, it could threaten their ability to maintain public order, and their authority ...

Short and sweet.   Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad captures the thoughts of many in just 131 words There's an issue that has been bugging me for some time but a meeting this week has brought me to this statement: Children around the world are expressing a fear that the world is about to end due to global warming. In a meeting this week a school age child stated the world is about to end with a slight crack in their voice. Shame on politicians, environmental groups and shysters who are scaring children for their own ends. It disgusts me to think that these people believe the ends justify the means. Children unable to sleep, having nightmares and trying to map a future without hope. Absolutely unacceptable. The environment is an issue. It needs to be addressed. But scaring children to further an end is absolutely wrong and unacceptable.

Climate Change Dispatch (August 24 th ): In 2003 a Canadian  study  showed the “hockey stick” curve “ is primarily an artifact of poor data handling, obsolete data and incorrect calculation of principal components. ” When the data was corrected it showed a warm period in the 15th Century that exceeded the warmth of the 20th Century. So, the graph was junk science. But the big question then became: did Mann intentionally falsify his graph from motivation to make a profit and/or cause harm (i.e. commit the five elements of criminal fraud)? CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL STORY : Professor Michael Mann , the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climatologist who invented the “hockey stick” model of future global warming has failed to defend his theory in court. During disclosure proceedings in his libel action against Dr. Tim Ball, Mann was ordered to produce the figures on which his theory is based in order that ...
