The funny thing is in BC, our electric company is called “BC Hydro”. As in hydroelectic power. But BC is no longer self-reliant in terms of hydroelectricity. We buy energy off the electrical market to supplement, which means we really aren’t just hydro anymore.
But I digress.
The apologists are out in full force trying to calm […]
Let’s see. For the first time in decades, Saskatchewan elects a non-leftist government.
Then they win a Grey Cup for the first time in decades.
Strangely coincidentally, their economy begins to ride a wave of prosperity started in Alberta. For the first time in decades, Saskatchewan experiences positive population growth.
…and then came Stephane Dion.
The world is getting better you say? Not in some corners of the world. I don’t know why I find it so sad when a formerly prosperous nation descends into hell.

Thanks to Celestial Junk for coining the phrase, “Enviro-Mentalism“.
A long time ago in Vancouver, the earth was green. Except before that, it was denuded at the turn of the century by logging companies - which is why 90% of the massive “old growth” trees in Stanley Park are less than 100 years old, and the […]
Captain Capitalism calculates the ROI on a vasectomy. Sadly, he only bases the calculation on the costs of children but fails to take into account any benefits whatsoever, from societal to individual.

Carole James is launching an “Axe the Tax” campaign, attempting to mobilize strong grassroots opposition to the gas tax portion of Gordon Campbell’s greenhouse fighting initiatives. Initially, it will result in a 2.4 cent per liter gas […]
I love Canadian Football. I really do. NFL makes good TV, but I can’t even conceive of an experience worth $300 per ticket.
However, I don’t doubt that in a city of 4 million people, there may be thousands of people who are willing to pay for that.
The question is, are the people who will buy […]
The family is heading to Florida at the end of July - not quite the heart of hurricane season, but there is definitely a risk.
I thought I would take a look at google to find out what to expect. First I encountered the official position: 2008 is likely to be normal or above normal - […]
I’ll admit, when I first saw the news breaking on the ads, it never occurred to me that anyone could confuse Stephane Dion with Gordon Campbell. I still think the odds are slim, but there probably be a lot of British Columbians who start to question the wisdom of the Campbell Liberals’ grand plan of […]
The Rev. Stephen Boissoin wrote a letter to the editor, which was printed by the Red Deer Advocate. It resulted in a complaint to the Alberta Human Rights Commission, on the grounds that homosexuals might be offended. He just thought they might be offended, so decided to take the complaint out on their […]
