Yes. And it has been for all of geological time. How many ice ages have there been in the Holocene Epoch? (100,000 years). Seven or so? The Northern ice cap used to extend down to California. Canada's anti climate change initiatives are symbolic only. The engines of man made clmiate change age...

Anthropogenic = man made. You bring up a fair point nightswhisper. Climate change is a permanent feature of our planet. The Earth's climate is for sure changing but that doesn't mean its all at the hand of man. I'd be impressed if climate change activists stopped talking about "climate...

Ms Tam made a nimrod move in authorizing those billboards. The billboards had the U of A crest and were not sufficiently anti-climate-change. The statement on the billboards about Alberta's $500mil/year barley agri-industry was technically true. It just didn't tow the line. Universities and...

The main profile pics are a wee tad bigger which is good. There are no new features or functionality. The layout has changed. Altogether not much better, not much worse.

I think Mr Trump wants the impeachment proceedings. It will ensure he's always dominating the headlines during the 2020 election campaign. The impeachment will almost certainly fail. It requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate where the Republicans have a majority. And besides, if found guilty Trump...

If memory serves I remember watching a newsclip about her being "on the spectrum". In less politically correct times this would have been called autistic. This child should be the postergirl for the integration of special needs children into mainstream society, not for climate change. Oddly I...

Life is either a daring adventure or its nothing at all. - Helen Keller

There are a lot of new ideas coming from the Democratic candidates. And this before Biden has even declared. The guy you linked above wants to pay a "freedom dividend" of $1,000/month to every adult American. Several of them want to pay reparations to all African Americans. But I say the guy...

All of a sudden my Leolist.cc has appeared in skeleton form only with all pics appearing as the blue square with question mark. I'm in Canada and all other websites are OK. Any ideas?

I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. The Royal Family in this age has no actual power. They are simply a romantic fantasy to the working millions. Personally, I think that England and The Commonwealth would be well served if the Queen would abdicate. She should acknowledge her...

Oh? I think that soldiers, sailors and airmen around the world go for months while on deployment. Probably years during major wars. I can't imagine that there's a lot of FRAPing going on since they're in close quarters barracks if ashore and in two high racks if at sea.

Ya, I'm pretty sure it is an upgrade. I found that by toggling between "desktop" and "mobile" - which is in fine print at the bottom of the Female Companions page, but not the first few lead in pages, also experimenting with "list" vs "grid" views, and landscape or portrait on my device, I got...

IMHO, this is one of those situations where what you don't see is more important than what you do see. I'd bet that Ms Clark is working furiously to recruit a sitting member of the Green or NDP parties. If she can seduce even one to cross the floor, even if by promise of a ministry, she'll...

Yes. This is exactly why I think the "agency" way of doing business is better. Even Victoria, Prince George, Kelowna, Nanaimo have agencies that dominate. A woman entering the business gets to choose. She can go indie or go with a company. There are pros and cons to both. Vancouver is weird...

Has anybody else noticed that, and wondered why, SPs in Toronto and Montreal are usually organized into large professionally run agencies, while SPs in Vancouver really aren't at all? If you haven't noticed this, just spend a few minutes going through and comparing the advertising sections of...

Does anybody know where or when she will resurface? I just dont't find the CTV news at 5 worth watching anymore.

Hi Cock, You've started an interesting thread. I certainly think that good manners are at the heart of any civilization that's worth living in. Sometimes I take public transit, bus or skytrain, and my experience or observations are different from yours. I see average people giving up their...

Hi PG, that's an interesting read and an uncommon point of view. Thanks for posting it. I have trimmed it down with a TL;DR for anyone interested in a summary: I agree with Gwynne Dyer on this BTW. News directors should be feeding us based on what really matters, not what is temporarily...

Dude, I think you are referring again to the murder trial of police officer Forcillo in Toronto. From what I remember of your previous posts, you have been divorced but I doubt you have kids. How would you like it if it was your kid up there in the streetcar that night -- distraught...

Despite being "blown up" these women still need to be listened to carefully by the judge and he needs to decide what parts of their testimony he believes and what parts he doesn't. Some inconsistencies, withholding, etc., do not need to make a witness's entire testimony without credibility...
