That leaves off details of the events. Basically Black and an assistant were prevented from removing 5 boxes of material by a security guard. Latter in the day he came back and with the help of his chauffeur removed 13 boxes.  It's also kinda odd that "only personal effects" and "copies were...

They eventually updated the story to be more accurate and say "up to 13 months" and added a parahraph mentioning it will be between 9 and 13 months depending on behaviour.

Sun News Network is currently available around Ottawa over the air on 20.1 (a HDTV channel) with a normal antenna and a TV set with a digital tuner.  I thought their election coverage was well done with some insightful comments as things developed throughout the evening. I live in Ottawa and...

You have a reference for this? The Parliament of Canada website shows Mulroney with a very slim majority (50.03%) of the popular vote in 1984. Electoral Results by Party for 33rd General Election.

Nothing new with them botching it and spreading the debris from such a reactor across Canada either. Just Google for Kosmos 954.

A decent article on the issue that has source material (Hansard excerpts and an image of the document) : Just the Facts: How Bev Oda got tied up in “nots”. Myself I would say read a day of Hansard and you will probably come to the same decision on what is said in the HoC as I have: "full of...

The website is various lists with short descriptions (no detailed information) and for the category of "Alternative News Sources" doesn't even have 50 entries (it lists 30). The about us notes: "Though we are trying to be objective, description and selection of sites are based only on our...

Sorry to say the "Hydrogen/Nickel cold fusion probable mechanism" reference is just a pile of gibberish.

There is a phenomenon in science called "confirmation bias" where an experiment/analysis/study is worked on until it produces results that align with what is expected and then less effort is applied to confirm that this final result aligning with what is expected is actually true. There are more...

Rhetoric we agree with is seen as artful, thoughtful, brilliant and direct telling of the "truth". Rhetoric we disagree with is seen as simplistic, distorted, pandering, lies, a pox on the earth, an evil to be fought etc etc. The degree to which it is seen as good or bad tends to be in...

The danger I see with Wikileaks is it's falling into the same trap that leads all those who wish to do good astray: I am good, my motive is good so my actions are good. This is a logical fallacy as actions stand on their own and regardless of intentions or source are evil or good on their own...

I bought the Deluxe eBook Edition for $9.99 from Amazon.ca and read most of it on my desktop PC only skipping a few chapters on topics I was less interested in. It was well worth reading and gave some good insight into the man himself and the US political system. The most perceptive thought (I...

With the current coal and natural gas prices in North America nothing else is competitive. Not wind. Not solar. Not all the other schemes. All only become viable with subsidies some of which are very long term. An example would be Ontario Power Authority's Standard Offer Program for Solar PV...

It's part of the introduction of the book and starts with "Imagine yourself on a hillside in the chaotic throes of war,". If you have Kindle for PC (or any Kindle software, it's a free download) with a registered Amazon account you can get a free sample that includes the Foreword by Ishmael...

In order to know how accurate a given sample size would be you need to know the population size. The short form Census produces a lot of population counts down to small areas by a couple parameters like age and sex. With that data any organization should be able to do an accurate survey for all...

The motto of the French Republic is "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" (Liberté, Equalité, Fraternité). The burqa goes against all three of those while a ban goes against one.

What makes it even more hilarious is this sentence: "An entire channel run by, and aimed at, people who believe that political or social dialogue is advanced by name-calling."

It's kinda sad to see a long call to action article that must have taken a lot more time to write than the 30 seconds it took me to google and find out if the tax even applied to resale homes. It doesn't. The GST isn't charged on resale homes and the HST won't be either. From an article on the...

Moving non-health related expenses to the health balance sheet and pretending the increase is to improve the health system is deceitful. Even more so after saying no new taxes but adding a health tax that now must be partially going to non-health areas so is at least in part a general tax.
