A typical human being has 110,000 calories and being that between January and April, there were 200 deaths, that means that we 22,000,000 calories to work with or 92,000 kJ. Statscan says the average home consumed 106 GJ in 2007, meaning that we'd need about 2,000 fentanyl-related deaths to occur to just power one home.

The entire population of Renfrew County could provide enough heat for someone's house for like two months. That seems like a pretty good deal.

Listen I just figure that maybe we should shift away from zero emissions to full emissions. Just use human emissions to heat our homes.

The OLP definitely seems fond of huffing their own emissions.

Obviously you didn't pay attention. Because she was afraid of being called a racist, Cheryl Galant couldn't specify which group of immigrants was grooming adolescent girls. Maybe there's more than one group of evil immigrants and they're into different things!

I actually feel bad for Harper having to keep a lid on these loving morons when he was in power.

And you think power rates are bad now, just wait until Pickering and Darlington have more reactor shutdowns for refurbishment. Apparently there's 380 days worth of outage scheduled for Darlington next year.

When all 4 reactors are going Darlington generates 20% of Ontario's power requirements.

It's also the CANDU Fleet's best performing generating station, and has been voted the best run nuclear power station in the world 3 years in a row.

We should build more. Lots more.

It's a shame that Pickering is on its way out with no further builds planned.

Ontarians, please drink responsibly.

Domestic and imported wines will finally be available in the province�s supermarkets on Oct. 28 � just in time for the Halloween party season.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa, who uncorked the long-anticipated launch date on Friday, said products will be on the shelves of up to 70 grocery stores in this first wave.

By 2025, 300 of Ontario�s 1,500 grocery stores will be selling wine and 450 will stock beer.

Spirits will remain the exclusive purview of the 650-outlet government-owned Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which will also continue to sell beer and wine.

The stores, the location of which still must be finalized, must have designated sales areas, restricted hours of sale, and abide by limits on bottle and box sizes and alcohol content.

I was under the impression that the intended refurbishment was only going to extend the plant's life into the 2020s and then it was going to be decommissioned. Something about how the maintenance on the steam generators was spotty in its life and they don't want to replace them when they finally give out.

I'm just confused. Ive never heard any speculaton before about Brown and it doesnt seem like public knowledge. Are you just trying to insult him because he may be both right wing and gay, or do you have information we dont?

Edit : I'm not sure how much more clear I can make this. Calling some gay as a insult, even if they are conservative and you find that hilariously ironic, is an rear end in a top hat thing to do.

Kindest Forums User: Mar 25, 2008; Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

This is what NP currently has running up front. They couldn't go bankrupt soon enough, but at least with trash like this it won't be long

http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/rex-murphy-the-environmental-crowd-knows-no-compromise

quote:

The environmental protesters who are determined to throttle Alberta�s oil industry are so invested in the narrow, regressive world of their own doom-laden vision of the future, and the fanatic, narcissistic righteousness that is the hallmark of that vision, that they see themselves as having a licence to to do just about anything, no matter how morally reprehensible, in the pursuit of their cause.

Civilized debate, respect for one�s opponents, listening to differing opinions and good manners: these are the practices and mores of every other social and political exchange, and are necessary for reasoned debate to take place in a democratic society. Yet the anti-pipeline zealots seems to think that these standards don�t apply to them.

Witness that gruesome, arrogant invasion of the National Energy Board (NEB) hearing into the Energy East pipeline in Montreal this week. Three � just three � typically overzealous pipeline justice warriors flamed into the hearing room on Monday, screaming, �It has to stay in the ground.� One of them charged the panel members sitting at the front of the room, forcing the RCMP to subdue and shackle the bellicose buffoon. It was, of course, a stunt � precisely the kind of stunt that passes for protest these days, whenever the save-the-planet gang smells a camera in the distance, a headline in the making or an opportunity derail any legitimate airing of a contentious public issue.

They were only three protesters. But these three hooligans are a perfect example of the holier-than-thou mentality the pervades the modern environmental movement. Storm a meeting, scream slogans, insult the industry, play the victim, taunt the police, harass, intimidate and act like a thug � you may call it protesting if you wish, but bullying and boorishness are far closer to the mark.

And just what are they trying to stop? Great swathes of Fort McMurray, Alta., are still in ashes. Hundreds of homes have been levelled, families have been displaced, businesses are in ruin, the city is still in shock. Alberta is bleeding, its economy in tatters, its confidence shaken. The country as a whole has been wounded by the collapse of the oil industry. From Newfoundland to British Columbia, the drop in the price of oil has affected the lives of the hundreds and thousands of people who are no longer working. Projects have stalled or stopped. Government revenues are in decline. It is the bleakest moment in modern Alberta history.

One would assume that, under these circumstances, every socially conscience individual in the country would be concerned about all the people in desperate straits; all the newly unemployed and homeless yearning for an opportunity for a better life. Yeah, sure. So long as there is a Greenpeace, a Sierra Club, a Green party or, for that matter, while Denis Coderre is mayor of Montreal, fresh from the Great Flush of eight billion gallons of raw sewage into that city�s historic and polluted harbour, there will be no flag of hope raised for any project � and particularly any pipeline running from Alberta�s landlocked oil deposits � that might aid that province in its darkest time. Instead, a troika of agitators is allowed to put a halt to the national energy regulator�s hearings, merely by showing up and playing the bullies for a few moments.

Where is the real �exalted warrior,� Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in all this? Well, today he is in China, which must be a welcome intermission from his travails on the hot sands of Tofino Beach, under a constant drizzle of selfies and photo-bombs, in weeks past. Perhaps after his sojourn in the Far East, he might interject his voice into this national debate. Does the prime minister of Canada favour Canadian oil over Middle Eastern crude? Does he think three protesters should shut down the NEB hearings? Does he like the idea of creating jobs for Canadians?

And, more to the point, will he stop playing the grand equivocator? Is he a supporter of the Energy East pipeline, its jobs and the relief it will bring to the economically desperate province of Alberta and unemployed people across the country? Or is he on the side of the fanatic protesters, who, rather than see one drop of Alberta oil find its way into a pipeline, would, if they had the means, bring us back to the days of candles and campfires?

P.S. If Alberta Premier Rachel Notley believes her concessions to the anti-pipeline forces will give her �social licence� to build pipelines, she is a child. That crowd knows no compromise. Montreal was just a taste of their tactics. And Premier Notley should recognize that she has to fight for the oil industry, or its opponents will eventually close it down altogether.
