Ferocious, early storm dumps massive piles of snow on upstate NY

Ferocious, early storm dumps massive piles of snow on upstate NY A ferocious storm dumped massive piles of snow on parts of upstate New York, trapping residents in their homes and stranding motorists on roadways, as temperatures plunged. Even hardened Buffalo residents were caught off-guard Tuesday as more than 5 feet fell in parts of the city by Wednesday morning. Authorities said snow totals by the afternoon could top 6 feet in the hardest-hit areas south of Buffalo, with another potential 1 to 2 feet expected by Thursday. Cold weather enveloped the entire country Tuesday, leading to record-low temperatures more… View Article

Alberta MP irked over repeatedly delayed inquiry into High River gun seizures

Alberta MP irked over repeatedly delayed inquiry into High River gun seizures An Alberta MP has invoked parliamentary privilege in hopes of extracting more information into the sweeping property searches and gun seizures conducted by Mounties in aftermath of the 2013 flash flood in High River. John Barlow, the rookie Conservative MP for Macleod, submitted a lengthy list of questions to the RCMP and the Canadian Armed Forces through an Order Paper. Barlow’s request was triggered, in part, after an independent commission again delayed the release of its highly-anticipated report that delves into the actions of RCMP officers who forcibly… View Article

Ring of Fire funding held up by Ottawa, Ontario battle

Ring of Fire funding held up by Ottawa, Ontario battle Plans to spend billions of federal and provincial dollars on infrastructure in Ontario are being held up by a behind-the-scenes battle over the Ring of Fire, as the province wants Ottawa to match $1-billion in new money to develop the ambitious mining project. Nearly two years have passed since Ottawa announced a 10-year, $14-billion Building Canada Fund for infrastructure, but the Conservative government is expressing its strong frustration that Ontario has yet to submit a list of projects. Ottawa has said Ontario qualifies for $2.7-billion from the fund, but the… View Article

Obama Launches Global Warming ‘Toolkit’ as Nation Freezes

Obama Launches Global Warming ‘Toolkit’ as Nation Freezes On Monday, President Barack Obama announced the release of a global warming “toolkit,” one day before all 50 U.S. states fell below freezing temperatures. The White House says its “resilience toolkit” is an extension of Obama’s “Climate Action Plan” released last year which created the “State, Local, and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience” to help battle pollution and “record heat waves.” According to Reuters, “After announcing two major global initiatives on climate change last week, the Obama administration pivoted on Monday to American towns and cities to help… View Article

By-Election Shocker! Conservatives retain Whitby-Oshawa

  By-Election Shocker! Conservatives retain Whitby-Oshawa By the time all the ballots were counted Monday night, former Whitby mayor Pat Perkins held Whitby-Oshawa for the Conservative Party with nearly 50% of the vote. You could be forgiven for thinking this result was unlikely, given the extent to which Liberal talking points penetrated the media’s pre-game analysis, egged on by some torqued analysis from the only pollster willing to give away his work for free anymore. Conservative standard-bearer Perkins in fact exceeded the vote-share with which Jim Flaherty first wrested the riding away from Liberal MP Judi Longfield in 2006. Perkins… View Article

Liberals increase voter share despite losses in two federal byelections

Liberals increase voter share despite losses in two federal byelections Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have narrowly retained the late Jim Flaherty’s suburban Toronto seat and easily hung on to another riding in their Alberta stronghold. But it was Justin Trudeau’s Liberals who – once again – showed all the momentum in two byelections Monday. The Liberals were the only party to increase their share of the vote in both ridings and the gains were considerable. Their vote share almost tripled in Whitby-Oshawa, where political neophyte Celina Caesar-Chavannes came within eight points of knocking off the Tories’ Pat Perkins, a… View Article

US Senate votes today on Keystone XL project

US Senate votes today on Keystone XL project he U.S. Senate is expected to vote tonight on the Keystone XL pipeline — the latest chapter in a drawn-out political dogfight that has dragged on for years. Pipeline supporters need 60 votes to avoid prolonged filibustering on the bill, and they’re closer than they’ve ever been — but it’s not clear that they have the numbers. The pipeline was approved last week for the ninth time by the Republican-dominated House of Representatives, but it faces a tougher test in the Senate, which is still controlled by Democrats until a new session… View Article

Population reduction white paper argues that the killing of 2 billion people still isn’t enough

Population reduction white paper argues that the killing of 2 billion people still isn’t enough In the modern era, uber-left wing academics who view environmentalism as a religion and take on blind faith that the world is being destroyed by the infestation of human beings have long considered and discussed how best to achieve “population control” and even population reduction. Most have been careful not to actually state what it is they would really like to see: the mass murder of billions of people, so they could “save” the planet through avoidance of destruction by humans. But even a reasonably… View Article
