Canada to pledge more aid to Palestinians
Nov. 27th. 2007; Canada is pledging to give more aid to the Palestinian terrorists. Canada wants an independent state for Palestinians, with internationally recognized borders. Canada had already given $30 million in (humanitarian?) assistance during the last fiscal year. When U.S. President George W. Bush called for a War on Terrorism, I had assumed he was talking about fighting those Islamic Terrorists, not giving them financial aid and land. So this is what U.S. President George Bush must have meant when he claimed he was going to wage war on terrorism. U.S. President George Bush's "War on Terrorism" is pushing for an independent state for those Hamas and Fatah Palestinian terrorists who gun down Israeli people and fire their Kassam rockets at Israeli towns. Now Canada, in their own "War against Terrorism" is going to give more financial aid to these Palestinian terrorists so that they can buy more guns and Kassam and other more powerful rockets from Syria. According to CTV News; Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier will appear at the U.S.-hosted Mideast peace talks today, where he's expected to announce plans for more financial aid to a bunch of Palestinians terrorists. The funding would go towards improving living conditions and security, and establish Canada's objectives for a donor's conference on the Palestinians terrorists territories scheduled next month. Last July, Canada had given $8 million in financial aid to the Palestinian terrorist government and $1 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross. Bernier has not specified how much more financial funding Canada will give to the Islamic region. Tell me again why our Canadian troops are being killed in Afghanistan? Maby our Prime Minister Stephen Harper ought to be giving financial aid and land to the Islamic Taliban, instead of having our Canadian troops die by the same type of Islamic terrorists as he is so anxious to help the Islamic Palestinian terrorist cause. Tuesday's meetings at Annapolis have been endorsed by the Islamic Arab League and will be attended by 16 Islamic Arab states. Significantly, even Syria and Egypt, who supports the killing of Jewish people and help with supplying arms to their fellow Islamic terrorists. Syria, an Islamic nation that has been at war with Israel for decades, has announced it will attend the sessions. On Monday, Bush held a meeting with Olmert in the Oval Office, and later met with terrorist Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.This bit of news that Canada wants an independent state for these Islamic Palestinians terrorist, with internationally recognized borders, and that Canada had already given $30 million in financial assistance during the last fiscal year and are giving more money to these Palestinian murders, will really give the Israeli people a real boost in their "War on Terrorism". The Jewish people in Israel are finally being made aware how badly Israel has been hurt by the entire "Oslo Peace Plan". Ehud Olmert is the most radical left-wing Prime Minister Israel has ever had, aside from Shimon Peres. Ehud Olmert is quite willing to give huge chunks of Israel land away and divide Jerusalem. We can see what a political disaster the whole disengagement plan, from Gaza and Northern Samaria was. Ehud Olmert is willing to take a powerless Moslem puppet like Mahmoud Abbas and crown him a "peace partner" for the Annapolis peace talks. Other than U.S. President George W. Bush and his flunky, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and people who are part of the "New World Order" plan, want to see this Annapolis meeting become a success, despite that no sensible Jewish person believe in this outrageous Annapolis scenario. This is U.S. President George W. Bush's war on Islamic terrorism! Despite that Palestinians, Hamas and Fatha and its allies, the Islamic Arab Nations, want to destroy Israel and its Jewish people. That has been their goal from the very beginning since the re-creation of the nation of Israel, despite the fact that most Jewish Israelis want peace, and would be willing to give up a lot, in exchange for it. But after all the years of peace talks while Israeli people are being killed, that had started with the Oslo Peace Plan, most Jewish Israelis no longer believe there can ever be peace with these so-called "Palestinians" and other Islamic Arab nations. Palestinians and other Islamic Arab nations had made that all too clear about that, when they shout on their rooftops " We will not leave you Jews alone until we have quenched our thirst with your blood, and our children's thirst with your blood". It is clear to most Jews, be they in Israel or elsewhere that any amount of concessions that are made, will be all for nothing, but the destruction of Israel. Canada can be real proud that they had played a small part in this.
The Suicide Tourist
I had watched on Saturday evening, CTV's W5 documentary on the controversial issue of assisted suicide. While watching; The Suicide Tourist, I know that it would conflict with my religious beliefs. As I watch that two-hour W5 documentary, from acclaimed Canadian director and Academy Award winner John Zaritsky, I could not help feel a great deal of compassion for the people involved. I am aware that assisted suicide is a tremendously sensitive and emotional issue here in Canada. I am also aware that the people at the center of this debate with those who want to have the services for assisted suicide services here in Canada, will no doubt cause a storm among Christian and other religious groups. Though I may not agree with the idea of suicide, because of my own personal religious beliefs, it is not up to me to think that I can impose my religious beliefs upon another person and stand in the way for those who may want to avail the services of an assisted suicide. If Canada ever allows assisted suicide to be preformed legally, I hope they will have a system in place like they have in Switzerland, and that people who will provide these services will study how the Swiss organization Dignitas, is doing it. As for myself, if a vote came up on having assisted suicide services provided here in Canada, I would have to vote YES to it. As for myself, all I can do for these people who want to end their lives through assisted suicide, is pray on their behalf that my Heavenly Father will look kindly upon these people and have the compassion as I feel towards them. In no way do I feel I have the right to impose my religious beliefs upon another person. Watching these stories have touched me on a personal level, and I hope this documentary will cause a debate, so that it may help people to better understand the difficult choices some of these people and their families have to make when confronted with this issue. I can only thank CTV and W5 for having the courage to present this documentary to the Canadian public.
Now it's baning smoking in cars!
According to The Canadian Press, a small town is set to become the first municipality in Canada to ban smoking in vehicles when children are on board. The initial proposal for the Anti-smoke-in-cars bylaw came from local anti-smoking group called the Smoke Free Kings, based in Kings County. Wolfville, N.S., is known for being quiet and picturesque town, a popular tourist destination, but soon it might also be known for having one of the toughest anti-smoking bylaws in North America. The town of Wolfville, is about a hour's drive north of Halifax. Last Monday evening, town councilors had voted in favour of the bylaw, the first of its kind in Canada. They are bragging that they were the first municipal in the province to go smoke-free in indoor public places, so this is essentially is a follow-up to what they did several years ago on this Anti-smoking issue. Essentially, the town is banning smoking in vehicles while having children on board. This is being applauded by the Canadian Cancer Society, which dismissed criticism that the law is too intrusive by citing the evolution of anti-smoking laws across the country. Lucas Wide, a spokesman for Nova Scotia's Health Promotion Department, said the town council in Wolfville has the right to enact the bylaw, but the province has no plans to do the same. The Town Council said that they are going to monitor the situation and see how it develops. We're certainly not even at that point yet where we're looking or have begun discussions with the Department of Justice, as to how it could potentially work. So who do they plan will enforce this new bylaw, the R.C.M.P. ? We are getting to the stage where some tobacco users will be fined, imprisoned and maby even have a criminal record because they had dared to smoke in their own car, with or without children on board, even when the window were pulled down. What will be next? Will people be forced to have smoke detectors in their vehicles? The only thing we tobacco users and people who see what this fight is really about can do at the present time, is to avoid going into that town or county. That is to by-pass it as a tourist destination. There are plenty of quiet, picturesque eastern towns along the Trans- Canada highway in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick one can visit. These Anti-smoking group are claiming that they are doing this for the welfare of their children. I think they are just using the children to further their Anti-smoking campaign against tobacco users. I am very concerned about what these Anti-smoking groups are doing and are allowed to get away with it. I wonder who will be next targeted? This behavior of the Smoke Freak Kings, reminds me of the "witch hunts" that were headed by Protestant Christians who had demonize everything that do not conform to their view of thinking. Think that I am exaggerating? I recall that Anti-smoking Ad which depicted a woman smoking a cigarette turning into one of Satan's demons on my TV screen. Let us examine this latest phony claim that these Smoke Freak Kings- Anti-smoking group are claiming to be fighting for. They are claiming that smoking in a car while children are on board will greatly affect the children's health. Most people I know who smoke are pretty decent, laid back type of people who are decent enough to be courteous in what they are doing. When any of them have children on board their vehicle, I notice they tend to pull down the window so that the smoke from their cigarette will be drawn outside from the vehicle. I do that myself. Given that known fact, I wonder how much of a real "health" issue these Anti-Smoker groups really have? If these people who claim to be so concerned about the health of children, how come these Smoke Freak Kings had not the zeal to ban automobiles for the know hazard of the smoke coming from its exhaust fumes as they have attacked people who smoke a cigarettes, a cigar or a pipe? That's because they themselves drive their SUV or other gas driven vehicles that spew out its noxious gases. I knew these Smoke Freak Kings had to be Christians, for they are the biggest hypocrites around. Just as Christians were during the late First Century CE. As I have stated before, most of these Anti-Smoking groups like the Smoke Freak Kings, base their information upon fraudulent and exaggerated claims. Fraudulent and exaggerated claims made by doctors, Health Canada and the Canadian Cancer Society. Speaking about the Canadian Cancer Society, As a tobacco user, I will no longer donate to that organization. I am finish with them! As for me, I will not just sit by and capitulate to anyone who wants to impose their chumras on me. It's a matter of principals, of being a Canadian who is suppose to be living in a free country who will not be socially conditioned by a bunch of Christian bullies who have yet to learn that these Smoke Freak Kings, do not have the right to infringe upon my "rights" or impose and force their wild chumrasa on a segment of Canadian society who still have the freedom to choose the lifestyle they want for themselves. I do not mind anyone pointing out something they may feel may be wrong, or is not a good thing to do, but when I am forced by some Municipal bylaw, then I start pushing back against those who would strip the freedoms I had once enjoyed in this country, this Canada, The Land of the Free, which is turning into a Dictatorship. That is not what those brave Canadian men and women who fought and helped to defend that freedom during the first and second World War. I remind these Anti-Smoking groups that the vast majority, the greatest percentage of them, be they from the Army, Navy or Air Force, were tobacco users who enjoyed to have a cigarette in restaurants, bowling alleys, cinemas, bars and most anyplace they happen to be, without having people like these Smoke Freak Kings blowhards, pointing an accusing finger at them. I can only hope that there is someone out there with a good, fair minded, legal mind, or a Magistrate from within the Supreme Court, who can do something about our Constitution and give all Canadians such rights and freedom I have already outlined in a previous article (page 13) so that it will challenge these Anti-Smoking groups and their Municipal Governments from passing such restricted bylaws and by doing so, protect Canadian citizens, from the likes of these Smoke Freak Kings morons. At first this whole Anti-Smoking campain started when it began by puting warning lables on all tobacco products. But that was not good enough for these Smoke Freak Kings type blowhards. They then have managed to get provincial regulations to ban advertising tobacco products. But that was not enough for these Anti-Smoking groups. They then have managed to get Federal and Provincial regulations to ban smoking in all indoor public places and workplaces. These Anti-Smoking lobby groups got town, city, Provincial and Federal regulations to ban smoking in restaurants, pubs and private clubs, offices, malls, conference centres, arenas, community halls, government buildings vocation schools, public hospitals and health care facilities, universities, colleges, public athletic and recreational facilities. They have managed to ban smoking outdoors in no-smoking buffer zones around public buildings that a person has to almost leave the property to have a smoke. But the parking lots are full of automobiles which spews out its noxious exhaust fumes. All what was done in their attack against people who indulge in tobacco use was not good enough for these Smoke Freak Kings type morons. They then went after a ban from displaying tobacco and related products in stores. But that was still not good enough for these Anti-Smoking lobby groups. They then got Federal and Provincial Governments to ban anyone under the age of 19 from buying cigarettes or tobacco products. What I have noticed these past years that the only reason these Anti- Smoke Freak Kings have gotten away with all this so far, is because tobacco users are a bunch of pretty decent, laid back type of people who have not made much of a fuss over this whole Anti-Smoking campaign. The time has come when tobacco users have to realize that to people like these Smoke Freak Kings, and other Anti-Smoking lobby groups and what their campaign is about, it is a war against tobacco users, and they have no intention to stop now. As these Anti-Smoking groups had stated; "Much more can be done in the war against smoking". This is the reason we tobacco users need to fight back. This is the reason why I am now writing these articles on my web site. If people think that I am doing this just for myself, they would be dead wrong. For I intend to grow my own tobacco for my personal use, when I have my log cabin in the wilderness. No more high tobacco tax for me! Unfortunately for me, I am in no financial position to do that right now. The reason I had strongly suggested to all tobacco users right across Canada, not to take this kind of discrimination from these Smoke Freak Kings lightly, because to them, this war against tocacco users has only begun. You can by now see where all this is leading to. Now is the time to stand up and challenge these morons. Do not allow these people to discriminate and infringe upon your choice or lifestyle. I am appealing to not only to tobacco users, but to all Canadians who want to retain the kind of country we once knew. A free, caring, easy going type of people who are against those who want to rule the world and enslave people to their whims. We need to realize that we are presently slipping towards a dictatorship society and a Fascist form of Government. If we fail to be vigilant now, Canadians are going to wake up one day and find out that they have lost some of their rights and freedoms which they had enjoy. It is for these reasons, every Canadian, need to take a stand against the likes of those Smoke Freak Kings now, and not allow this kind of discrimination and infringements to continue upon tobacco users.
Exposure to Secondhand Smoke and its Risk
Much have been made by the Anti-Smoking lobby groups about second hand smoke. Most of
what these groups claim is either exaggerated or unfounded. Here is the results from a Western
New York Health Study which was done that cover the exposure to secondhand smoke and the
risk of myocardial infarction between the years 1995 to 2001 CE. This is what was found out in this study; Although many epidemiologic studies have
investigated the association between exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) and risk of
coronary heart disease (CHD), in which few of these studies have assessed exposure measures
from different sources over a lifetime. Therefore, we sought to test the association between
lifetime cumulative exposure to secondhand smoke and risk of myocardial infarction (MI)
(as an indication of CHD) among non-smokers. A population-based case-control study was
done in which participants were 1541 none-smokers drawn from 1197 women and men with
incident of myocardial infarction (MI) and 2850 healthy controls (aged 35-70 years) identified
from 2 Western New York counties between 1995 and 2001. Study subjects were asked to
report their exposure to secondhand smoke at home, at work, and in public settings
from childhood to their present age. Exposure histories from each source were combined to
form a cumulative lifetime exposure measure. Multiple logistic regression analysis estimated
the association between secondhand smoke exposure and case status adjusted for age, sex,
education, body mass index, race, drinking status, lifetime physical activity, hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia. The results of this study showed, after
adjustment for covariates, exposure to secondhand smoke was not significantly associated with
an increased risk of MI. Compared with participants in the bottom tertile of secondhand smoke
exposure, those in the top tertile had an odds ratio of 1.19 [95% confidence interval, 0.78-1.82]
for MI. Virtually all subjects reported some exposure to secondhand smoke over their lifetime,
but self-reported exposures declined over time, especially in the period closest to the interview.
Conclusions to the exposure to secondhand smoke is that the cumulative lifetime exposure to
secondhand smoke may not be as important a risk factor for MI as previously thought.
Those who took part in this U.S. study were; The Department of Social and Preventive Medicine,
School of Public Health and Health Professions, University at Buffalo (Drs Stranges, Bonner,
Fucci, Freudenheim, Dorn, and Trevisan), and Department of Health Behavior, Roswell Park
Cancer Institute (Drs Cummings, Giovino, and Hyland), Buffalo, NY; and Department of
Epidemiology, Italian National Cancer Institute, Rome, Italy (Dr Muti). Dr Stranges is now
with the Clinical Sciences Research Institute, Warwick Medical School, Coventry, England,
and Dr Fucci is now with Azienda Sanitaria Locale Napoli 1, Naples, Italy. Doctors who did
this study were Dr. Saverio Stranges, MD, PhD; Matthew R. Bonner, PhD, MPH; Federica
Fucci, MD, MPH; K. Michael Cummings, PhD, MPH; Jo L. Freudenheim, PhD; Joan M. Dorn,
PhD; Paola Muti, MD, MS; Gary A. Giovino, PhD; Andrew Hyland, PhD; Maurizio Trevisan,
MD, MS.
Given what that report has concluded, I have a very hard time to believe anything
what those Anti-Smoking groups, Health Canada, some doctors, and the Canadian Cancer
Society have to say. They have deliberatly lied, miss-informed, exaggerated and made many
unfounded claims in order to deceive people. This is what all those anti-smoking bylaws which
have become law were based upon.
Getting out the Cobwebs
Nov. 27th. 2007; Late this afternoon I put on the sled harness on
Buddy to give him a much needed exercise. He has become kind of soft, but I hope to rectify this
little matter by getting out the cobwebs, (the extra bit of fat) he had added during the summer
months. It's hard to tell when Buddy has added some weight, given the thick, heavy coat Buddy
has all year round. Buddy seem to be quite excited when he saw me getting the sled harness. As usual, it was a pleasure to put
the harness on Buddy because he stood still and allowed me to put the harness on him without
a fuss. Once we got hitched up and got
past the roadway, which I carried the sled across, we took a jaunt down by the lake where the fresh snow was not disturbed. Buddy this time was
pulling an empty sled just so he will get use to pulling a sled behind him. I must say, Buddy took this
in stride at the beginning. But once we were out for a while, I could tell by the look on his expression,
he was no longer too keen about pulling a sled anymore. Buddy is really not a true sled dog, he is more like a
house pet who has been spoiled rotten, which I take the full blame. Buddy pulled the sled back
home, kind of reluctantly. Maby his mood will change once we get back into the swing of things.
Until then, we will go easy and not press too hard for the time being. All in all, it was a good run
which gave me the excuse to run alongside the sled as I was encouraging Buddy to pick up the pace.
Once we get to the point when he will want to pull the sled, I will add a little weight. I already
know that Buddy can pull a 250 lb load when he managed to pull my friend around with no problem.
Granted, it was only for a short distance, but he can do it if he wants to. Buddy had pulled an
80 lb. load for a long distance without any problem last winter. It is only of a matter of will.
That is what I have to work on, given the attitude he had shown today.
Saving the Great Lakes
Nov. 29th. 2007; This afternoon I decided to put the sled harness on Buddy and hitch him up to the sled to make a run along the waterfront. It had been snowing quite a lot last night to make perfect sledging conditions. Buddy had preformed a lot better today, though he is not pulling with any enthusiasm yet. After we got back home from our jaunt, I came across an interesting article on the Internet. It was about "Saving the Great Lakes: Are we at the tipping point?" The article was written on November 23, 2007 by Armina Ligaya of CBC News. The article reads in part; Since David Lewis has had his cottage in the Fishing Islands on the Bruce Peninsula, he's seen the lake water levels drop drastically. Judging by the lines on the shed he normally docks his boat in, he says Lake Huron has gone down about 1.5 meters in the last 10 years. Now, some of the islands are no longer islands. "The water used to be up to your shoulders. Now, you can drive up to the island from the mainland," said Lewis, who has lived in the region since 1972. He isn't imagining things. In fact, water levels in all the Great Lakes are down a half-meter, the biggest drop ever, according to science writer Wayne Grady, who has just written,The Great Lakes: The Natural History of a Changing Region. "This is the first time that all five lakes are all down about the same amount," he said in an interview. "That's the scary thing, and it all just happened almost overnight." The Great Lake water, which represents about 20 per cent of the world's freshwater supply, has fluctuated on a cycle, every six to seven years, but now the water is one-half meter below those projections. Wayne Grady blames this drop in water levels in the Great Lakes because the water is evaporating at a faster rate due to global warming. Scientists had predicted that by mid-century the majestic lakes' water levels will drop 1.5 meters, said Grady. He expects those estimates to be bumped up as this year's drop puts us further ahead of schedule. Grady, who spent three years researching and writing his book, believes we're at a crucial tipping point. There aren't enough measures in place now to protect Canada's landmark water reserves or to reduce greenhouse gases, he says. Personally; I tend to differ with that opinion. I greatly suspect that the sudden drop in the Great Lakes has more to do with Americans diverting the waters in the Great Lakes to replenish dropping fresh water supply in the mid and lower States due to the need of fresh water from its ever growing population. Their fresh water supply was dwindling because more water was being used than what the natural restoration of its lakes and rivers levels would allow. So they had to find ways to get more fresh water from elsewhere for its demands. One such fresh water diversion project is called the "Chicago diversion” which has been legally siphoning massive amounts of water from Lake Michigan since 1948. That water isn't being returned to the Great Lakes, rather, Chicago drains it into the Mississippi. Americans can be siphoning massive amounts of water, on the sly, so to speak, from the Great Lakes to replenish the Ogallala Aquifer in the American Midwest where there was a huge shortage of fresh water. The Ogallalla Aquifer use its fresh water to supply all the cities and agricultural lands in the United States. We had known that it was being depleted at an alarming rate. Who's to say that the Americans are not diverting or siphoning massive amounts of water from the Great Lakes to drink it dry? I suspect that is the main reason the water levels are dropping in the Great Lakes and the Americans are using the evaporation of the Great Lakes due to global warming as an excuse to cover up their diverting or siphoning massive amounts of water from the Great Lakes. Now I may be wrong in this suspicion, but it would be worth to check that possibility. While I was out sledding with Buddy, I thought about how much of an effect this global warming was having upon our winter season here in Haileybury, and I have concluded, very little. Though there are some people who claim the natural warming cycle of planet Earth has already dramaticly increased. I have not seen it happen here in Canada, at least not yet.
Dec. 2nd, 2007; As Buddy and I was walking around the streets
of Haileybury, I noticed people have already strung up their winter festival of lights which
twinkle and cast a warm glow from their beautiful colors among the frosty night sky. I also
notice that many of the shops have decorated their window displays of Santa Clause and the
like. To me, I like to think of the entire month of December, as being the month of the winter
festival of lights which represents the light of truth, that dispel the darkness of Ignorance, Lies,
Hypocrisy, Deception and Pagan Religious Superstitions and beliefs such as those found in
Christianity which celibrate their pagan sun god on Christmas,
every December 25th. With so much truth that is out there in the world, I wonder why people would settle for Pagan
Superstitions and beliefs? I find there is so much to celebrate that is true and good, that there is
no rational reason to settle for things that are fictitious or belong to the realm of myths. Especially
those that belong to ancient pagan superstitions and beliefs. But, to each their own, to what
people want to believe and celebrate.
There is a new movie coming to theatres next week, called The Golden Compass.
It is a fantastic fantasy adventure movie based upon Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel,
Dark Materials mythological trilogy, in which the first installment is; The Golden Compass. The story is a
fantasy epic about a 12-year-old girl named Lyra from Oxford, England, where she becomes
locked in a battle between good and evil. The Golden Compass which is an Alethiometer. It is
an instrument which tells the truth. The story is set in the North Artic in which there is an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, (As
found in North American First Nation People folk tales, which Catholics and Christians call
them "demons"). of talking bears who fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by newcomer Dakota Blue
Richards), a 12-year-old girl who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by
a mysterious organization known as the Gobblers, and winds up on an epic quest to save not
only her world, but ours as well. The girl's momentous struggle against a rational world and
the forces of a monumental insidious oppression exercised by the power-mad Magisterium, a
hierarchical religious order intent upon ruling the world, claiming the souls of all children,
which would extinguish their free will to think for themselves. The story is actually based upon
organized religions, especially that of Christianity, where people had been subjected to that
kind of insidious oppression exercised by Catholic and Protestant magisteriums. One could also
include Orthodox Judaism (The Sanhedrin) and Islam as being insidiously oppressive to their
people. The book and movie's anti-religious theme has numerous Christian groups in a lather.
They are already demonizing the story and give false information about the move, as they had
done when Harry Potter came on the movie screen, to get parents not to let their children
view the movie. These people want to ban the book and the movie. If they do that, then they should
also ban a book that is filled with lies, violence, hatred, pagan myths and superstitions, and
other unspeakable atrocities. The book I am referring to is their Christian Bible. The film is written and directed by Chris Weitz
and produced by Deborah Forte and Bill Carraro. While Pullman's Dark Materials mythological trilogy
may be suitable for children, who will be delighted with the movie, it is better suited for ages that
range from 12 years of age to adults in oreder to fully capture the essense and hidden meaning
of what the book and movie is trying to reveal. This story is especially suited for people who are
well-versed in quantum physics and religious symbolism. The Golden Compass is scheduled for a Dec. 7, 2007
release. Rated 4 stars. As far as I am concerned, the movie, "The Golden Compass" arrives at a very opportune time.
Sun. Dec. 2 2007; According to The Associated Press, Bali, Indonesia is hosting a massive UN
talks on global warming. Government leaders started to arrive today for what are expected to
be lengthy and contentious negotiations on how to fight global warming. Delegates from more
than 180 nations will attempt to jump-start talks during the Dec. 3-14 meeting on how to
replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. The European Union wants Kyoto's
replacement to limit global temperature rises at 3.6 degrees above the levels of the
preindustrial era. The EU, Canada and Japan have endorsed a 50 per cent emissions reduction
by 2050 to meet that goal and avoid the worst effects of global warming. I would sugguest
these people move their global warming meeting to Canada where they can discuss how to
fight global warming while they look outside through their large picture window of their
boardroom while the winter storms blast Central, Atlantic and the Pacific regions. Central
Canada is off to a white, wintry, nasty start from a major winter storm system that has already
caused many deaths and disruptions throughout Canada and the U.S.A.
