You wore that on Halloween?

The numbers he's blogging about are internal projections from Enviroment Canada and are based on specific programs that end in those years. If the current Liberal government continues it's current streak it will wait until the very last second to extend all of these programs and funding will remain flat.

quote:

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has rejected a bid by smart meter opponents to certify a class action lawsuit claiming BC Hydro has installed the controversial devices in violation of personal liberty.

In a 36-page decision, Justice Elaine Adair found there was no way to test key issues raised in the case: whether exposure to smart meters causes biological effects and human harm; and if deciding not to have one on your dwelling is a "fundamental personal choice".

The judge also found a conflict between the groups of people affected by the outcome of the lawsuit, which was driven by the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters and the Citizens for Safe Technology Society.

"The plaintiffs and those who have supported the CSTS and the coalition believe passionately in their position," Adair wrote.

"However, for others, that position simply represents the triumph of groundless hysteria over good science and holds the prospect that BC Hydro's remaining customers will have to pay higher rates. Success for one group would result in failure for the others."

Because we have parties like the Greens that legitimize it and the papers give them coverage.

A few years ago, I was in the Province or Vancouver Sun (can't remember) railing against some idiot who was complaining about wireless networks being installed in the VSB. Six years later or something insane like that, I get an e-mail from said idiot with a YouTube linking claiming that microwaves cause cancer or something like that.

They're that loving nuts.

'Tis true. I went to a private school, for a time, that didn't have microwaves and thought that yoga was, to quote, "a necessary life skill."

Once I told my parents those people were loving nuts, I went back to public school. It took, I believe, 3 weeks.

Maybe they meant that physical flexibility, balance, and breathing control, promoted by activities such as yoga, are necessary skills. Because they are.

No, they literally said that yoga was a necessary life skill. I agree that many of the things which are improved by doing yoga are beneficial, but given that I was already under the advisement of a physiotherapist and a doctor concerning my flexibility and balance, I feel that any further benefits of yoga were, in fact, hippie quackery.

But I appreciate your concern, you dunce.

It's unfortunate that magic chakra people have to be like that because yoga is legitimately pretty fun to do and :feelsgood:. Trick is to find a class with an instructor who is not a chakra person.

Oh I agree. Unfortunately, those people put me off what is actually an enjoyable thing when it's being taught by a person who has some loving idea what they're doing, instead of someone who thinks it helps us connect with Mother Earth and also microwaves will kill us all. I don't object to yoga, just to the idea that it is, in any way, a necessary life skill.

Oh look, Toronto City Council is going to once again debate how to replace the Scarborough LRT.

https://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2016/07/13/city-council-debates-scarborough-subway-extension.html

Reminder that a fully funded 7-stop replacement of the current LRT (costing half as much as the current plan to build a single subway station) would have finished in 2020, but instead we haven't even started work on anything.

I remember the halcyon days of Mayor Rob Ford when he was too much of a dumb loving rear end in a top hat to get city council to do what he wanted.

The votes for that and approving the immensely stupid Scarborough subway extension weren't even close, nearly 2-1 in favour. All council needs is a solemn Family Compact fossil to get behind and they'll approve anything.

Ah goodie. I found the dimwit's e-mail:

Hi [OSI bean dip],

I'm the person who was featured in an article in The Province a few years ago regarding my concern about wi-fi in schools.

I've been wanting to contact you for some time.

Just wanted to know if you were willing to have an unbiased, serious look at this issue? Please know that I have no beef with you - just want to educate as this issue is getting more serious as time goes on.

I never met the guy nor contacted him and out of the blue I got an e-mail because I presented a sane, opposing opinion based on facts, reality, physics, and biochemistry.
