Bill shills for Global Warming with an IQ Test

Dear Friend, I don't have to tell you that we're in the middle of a climate crisis. Or that HIV/AIDS still claims far too many lives. You're already acutely aware of these realities.

Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty, Claims British Lord

-Fighting Words The Minnesota Free Market Institute hosted an event at Bethel University in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change.

Smoking at work

Pierre Trudeau, who proclaimed that the state had no place in the nations' bedrooms, must be turning in his grave at the news that the state now has the right to police our kitchens. After all, a kitchen is even more of a workplace than the cab of a truck.

Putting Green Politics Above the Interests of Shareholders

The Wall Street Journal- The recent corporate resignations from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have played in the media as a case of enlightened corporate stewardship vs. blinkered old businesses. But there's far more to this story-not least the way that Apple and Nike are putting green political correctness above the long-term interests of their own shareholders.

Sceptics welcome BBC report on ‘global cooling’

What’s a few millions?

Since we are on the subject of a 'few millions' been wasted on a futile computer program, I cannot help but wonder if the consultants working on Ontario EHealth are the same consultants that worded on the Canadian Long Gun Registry?

What’s a few millions?

Ahhh here we go again, fall is in the air and the Anti-gun crowd are scrambling to make themselves seen to the media and the Canadian public. This time they are using the economic down turn to prop up their calls for a return to registering firearms. I fail to understand their reasoning that the present Amnesty will "cost" the government 15 million dollars in lost revenue.

A truly desperate party

To the surprise of nobody the Liberals continue to give us plenty of reasons to make sure in the next federal election, whenever that may be, they remain in opposition where they clearly belong. They continue to be a party in chaos lacking direction and identity and now fractured along French and English lines. Recent reports of Liberals wanting to cross the floor may mean Centrist Liberals are willing to leave their party to join the center and right of center Conservatives.

Scientist: Carbon Dioxide Doesn’t Cause Global Warming

A noted geologist who coauthored the New York Times bestseller Sugar Busters has turned his attention to convincing Congress that carbon dioxide emissions are good for Earth and don't cause global warming. Leighton Steward is on Capitol Hill this week armed with studies and his book Fire, Ice and Paradise in a bid to show senators working on the energy bill that the carbon dioxide cap-and-trade scheme could actually hurt the environment by reducing CO2 levels.

Will President Obama Veto Health Reform?

With the Senate Finance Committee poised to pass health care legislation, the final contours of the bill that could come out of Congress are starting to come into focus. The bill will contain new taxes on the middle class. It will add to the deficit. And it will put government bureaucrats between Americans and their doctors, among other things.
