Agreed.

More sycophantism. Snicker.

I notice you didn't quote the rest of that:

Even with Dementia Klein and his image are influential. In fact they dominate Canadian politics today. Klein's Alberta is currently serving as the model for Canada under Harper. Your sycophantism is not limited to Klein, but politicians in general. Giving a guy at work a pat on the back is one thing. Giving an ageing plutocrat, the Order of Canada is another.

Sorry I don't think you'll actually find 'woot' in the dictionary ,even if you google. You might find it on internet gaming sites for 14 year olds though. Perhaps you should be hanging out there?

syc·o·phant (sk-fnt, sk-) n. A servile self-seeker who attempts to win favor by flattering influential people. lack·ey (lk) n. pl. lack·eys 1. A liveried male servant; a footman. 2. A servile follower; a toady. v. lack·eyed, lack·ey·ing, lack·eys v.tr. To wait on as a footman; attend. v.intr. To act in a servile manner; fawn. grov·el (grvl, grv-) intr.v. grov·eled also grov·elled, grov·el·ing also grov·el·ling, grov·els also grov·els 1. To behave in a servile or demeaning manner; cringe. 2. To lie or creep in a prostrate position, as in subservience or humility. 3. To give oneself over to base pleasures: "Have we not groveled here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?" (Walt Whitman).

Another sycophantic lackey grovelling. Pathetic.

What a dumbass. A Democratic majority is above 50%. If you meant the oligarchic minority, you would have been accurate. Also majority is spelled with a j.

The sycophantism in many of these messages is nauseating. Its as if Politicians didn't actually get paid for what they do. As if it was some sort of glorious sacrifice deserving of reward to be in positions of power.

I think the right wing should be taxed on each mythology they create. Canada would be swimming in the green.

Alberta Awards Alberta.

Have you been hitting the apple cider?

Nice to see we have full blown psychotics as conservatives.

Signals Corporal, Toronto is not Afghanistan, it doesn't deserve a billion dollars and twice as many police active as protestors, lets be real here. There is no way to justify that.

http://news.national...of-900-arrests/ (mentions the billion spent on the summit), and has the number of police at about 20,000. http://toronto.ctvne...rrests-1.527218 mentions more police were sent in making the number 20,000. I can't find information googling on the number of protestors. I remember a news report on the cbc national back at the time, which said that there were about 3 times as many police as there were protestors. The only info I can find regarding the number of protestors present is on wikipedia, which says that at its peak there were about 10,000 protestors. So at the peak, the ratio was 2-1. I'm guessing that off peak, with a number around 7000 that would be about 3-1. http://en.wikipedia....summit_protests Either way even if there were twice as many police to protestors when the protestors were at their peak that is ridiculous!

Harper pissed away 1 billion dollars, on security for the the G20 summit in Toronto. He had 3 times as many riot police there as there were actual protestors. One cannot defend, such a level of financial carelessness with Canadian money. Anyone who voted for that weasel should be ashamed.

The temperature has been increasing. Did you read the article?

That's the biggest bullshit copout I've ever heard. If Stephen Harper is powerless to do something about it, then not only am I a monkeys uncle, but Harper the uncle of all Canadian Monkeys, shouldn't be in power, since he is completely ineffective/incompetant and in charge of the 2nd biggest country in the world.

Polcies are not likely to work, if you don't pass them or worse. You drop out of the Kyoto Treaty, like Harper did who like his supporters obviously don't give a rats ass about the state of the environment, or those who have to suffere, because of their actions.

Stephen Harper has been a major global warming denialist, and has actively suppressed scientists in Canada who study the environment. Canada is one of the highest per capita C02 producers in the world.

I added a summar now. I wanted people to read the entire article, that's why I hadn't before. Here's also a good article on the effects of high C02 on Ocean Acidification and its dangers to Coral and other ecosystems: http://ngm.nationalg...on/kolbert-text

"But natural cycles can’t by themselves explain the recent streak of record-breaking disasters. Something else is happening too: The Earth is steadily getting warmer, with significantly more moisture in the atmosphere. Decades of observations from the summit of Mauna Loa in Hawaii, as well as from thousands of other weather stations, satellites, ships, buoys, deep-ocean probes, and balloons, show that a long-term buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is trapping heat and warming up the land, oceans, and atmosphere. Although some places, notably the Arctic, are warming faster than others, the average surface temperature worldwide has risen nearly one degree Fahrenheit in the past four decades. In 2010 it reached 58.12°F, tying the record set in 2005." http://ngm.nationalg...her/miller-text
