I know you guys are trying to delegitimize criticisms of GMOs, but you're bringing up an example of a pesticide that actually destroys bee hives and kills wild bee populations.

Yeah, neonics are no joke if they do what some studies have claimed. I haven't kept up on it, but when I volunteered at the ROM we had scientists visit and they thought it was ironclad.

I left them pretty much all their honey to get them through the winter, wrapped them in tarpaper, vented them properly and most importantly they did not get attacked by bears even once fingers crossed. I really hope they make it, they're the friendliest bees I've ever had, only one sting all year.

Trudeau doesn't approve of Trump's divisive politics and accuses NDP of pretending to raise minimum wage. How can it be possible to ask a guy questions for an hour and learn absolutely nothing new?quote:"One of the senses we had was 'Oh my god, we have to build a right relationship with indigenous canadians' and the sense that we had back in 2006 was 'It's a nice thought but there's no political capital in there'.

I really hope they make it, they're the friendliest bees I've ever had, only one sting all year. I always wanted to do beekeeping. There aren't a lot of apiaries around here and most are used for the blueberry fields in this area. Always wanted to set up a rooftop garden and just have a small hive to make some honey every so often. Also I find some of the beekeeping tech pretty interesting.

Which is why I choose to be optimistic as much as I can about his try at the government because he doesn't appear to be a sociopath and seems to honestly want to try and improve things. Whether he succeeds or does something self-defeating/obviously wrong remains to be seen.

I'm still reserving judgment on the refugee sourcing issue -- I guess I can tolerate bullshit national security claims if they're being used to sidestep bullshit NAFTA obligations -- but government secrecy weighs a lot more than Trudeau is Being a Good Guy Magazine vol.11

You cant spend a decade blasting Harper for secret back room deals and lack of transparency and turn around 6 weeks after getting elected and doing the same drat thing. I dont care if its for toques or turbines, its lovely practice and leads to an increase in the practice not the opposite. Im all for expediting the process to get these people clothes but come the gently caress on, no one is actually going to get hurt by a bunch of racist shitheads suddenly not shopping at ROOTS or wherever the gently caress they get it from.

Mostly no. The regs say that you can't both serve and run for/occupy office at the same time. If he's not actually going on parade with his former unit and he isn't wearing his uniform, there's nothing to scream about.

Also, they relieved him of duty earlier (honourably) becuase technically while in the military he'd have to obey the orders of the people he would be ordering around as minister.
