COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus, and is causing panic across the country. Places like universities, libraries, schools, churches, restaurants, and pubs are closing. International flights are being redirected to just four airports with appropriate screening facilities,...
While the benighted residents of the world are having to deal with the restrictions imposed on them to minimize chances of transmission of the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19, many of them may be wondering how we got to such a predicament – where millions...
These are just some of the basic tenets of crisis communications, and our Prime Minister and his Crisis Response Team would do well to take them to heart because, so far, their statements and actions have missed the mark in every way. We are not yet one week into our...
As Temperature Rises, Great White North Must Side with Trump A Vancouver court is the battleground for two different visions of Canada’s future. The United States wants the extradition of Meng Wanzhou, the top Huawei executive, while Beijing wants Canada to let her...
Sitting on top of one of the world’s largest and richest natural resource warehouses is turning into quite a disconcerting distraction. While much of Canada’s population – the heavily urban part for whom “rural” means Whistler, Muskoka, or Mont Tremblant – likes to...
The economic upheaval now roiling over the world’s financial markets, rapidly lowering living standards, and even threatening to freeze Europeans this winter, is all directly related to the radical decision most western leaders took in March of 2020., when a new...

“In what almost seemed an afterthought, Manitoba, rather than being offered a seat at the table, was sent the paperwork for review.”

The scientists implicated in Climategate have misused peer review and pressured journal editors to prevent publication of research that questions their research. They have taken control of the IPCC process and they have smeared opponents personally, rather than critiquing the research.
“The real revolution in personal mobility had to wait for the automobile and the jet airliner,” he writes. “These technologies were affordable to every economic class. The wealthiest 20 per cent of Americans drive only a few more miles a year than the poorest 20 per cent. The automobile is the most egalitarian form of mechanized travel ever developed.”
