  1. The government shouldn't pay for the residence of MPs, they already have massive incomes to get those. Turn Rideau Hall and 24 Sussex into giant museums or rent them to the highest bidder to generate revenue. No one needs these fancy palaces.
  2. "We need to stop adding solar and wind for ideological reasons and focus on using them only when their economic and environmental contributions are positive" https://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.ospe.on.ca/resource/resmgr/DOC_advocacy/2015_Presentation_Elec_Dilem.pdf

  3. How does this classify as a terrorist act?
  4. No, heads of government/state have been the criteria. Thus the Queen + former Prime Ministers. Paskistan's approach. Remove all humans from money.
  5. No, I think we should take the Pakistan approach. It is sexist and wrong to base decisions on what is between someone's legs. Male or female, shouldn't be a criteria.
  6. No, an example of the perfect solution fallacy would be: We shouldn't put women for the sake of women on money because there would still not be enough non-christians for the sake of being non-christians, or non-whites for the sake of being non-white. That isn't my position. My position is that the whole thing is sexist and wrong.
  7. I don't understand how what I wrote classifies as a perfect solution fallacy. Or do you actually think that I think we should put people on the money for being gay or atheist or black or whatever?
  8. I demand we put an atheist on the money! Too many Christians! I demand we put a gay person on the money! Too many straight people.
  9. Wasn't McClung a racist?
  10. I've taken this position for a long time. No one really asked.
  11. We should follow Pakistan's example and put no humans on the money. Putting people on money because they have a vagina is sexist. But sexism is rampant in Canada.
  12. Prove it. Provide your calculations. Or admit this is a baseless claim.
  13. Species need fossil fuels to live? Which ones? What we are doing is adding more CO2 to the atmosphere, which increases global primary production and green's the earth.
  14. You people here that think freedom of speech should not include saying things that are 'hateful' or 'offensive' would have me thrown in jail for 10 years and receive 2000 lashes if we were living in Saudi Arabia. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-sentence-man-to-10-years-in-prison-and-2000-lashes-for-expressing-his-atheism-on-a6900056.html This man said hateful things, insulted islam, and hurt the feelings of muslims. If I lived in such a country, I'd probably end up doing the same thing.
  15. Yes. And alternatively why can't men show cleavage and a lot of leg. The same dress standards should apply to men, women and non-binary people; anything else is sexist. If men can wear suits and ties to work, women should be able to as well. Alternatively, if women can wear dresses to work, men should be able to as well.
  16. There is no law of charma in physics. That is superstitious nonsense.
  17. And a flying spaghetti monster could appear and turn you into a banana. Doesn't make it realistic. Yes, somehow crop yields will decrease by 25% due to magic. It's not like there is a CO2 fertilization effect or anything.
  18. Nah. In 1896, Noble prize winner Arrhenius was calculating how changes in atmospheric CO2 could affect global temperatures. It goes much further back than the 1970's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svante_Arrhenius His estimation of the magnitude of the effect was fairly close to reality: "If the quantity of carbonic acid [CO2] in the air should sink to one-half its present percentage, the temperature would fall by about 4°; a diminution to one-quarter would reduce the temperature by 8°. On the other hand, any doubling of the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air would raise the temperature of the earth's surface by 4°; and if the carbon dioxide were increased fourfold, the temperature would rise by 8°."
  19. Saudi man sentenced to 10 years and 2000 lashes for atheist tweets. Why is our government allied with a government that commits genocide and classifies me as a terrorist for not believing in religious fairy tales?

      Does he consider Saudi Arabia an ally?

      I suspect not in the way Harper did.

  20. If the price of oil is high, environmentalists proclaim that oil is too expensive, so we need to move away from fossil fuels. If the price of oil is low, environmentalists proclaim that oil is worthless, so we need to move away from fossil fuels. Some how the price of oil alone always justifies moving away from fossil fuels.

      Why don't you tell me yourself? Oh, yeah, cuz I blocked you. :-)

      And for the record, now is the perfect time for a big carbon tax to keep fossil fuel prices high.

      You blocked me? I didn't notice, not care. Typical of the close minded to create safe spaces for themselves where dissenting opinion can't get to them.

  21. I'll take Nicholas Stern seriously when he uses a reasonable discount rate that satisfies the Ramsey equation.
  22. But, you forget, air-conditioners are sexist: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11780891/Air-conditioning-in-your-office-is-sexist.-True-story.html
