The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), as covered previously by DeSmogBlog, is the "Trojan Horse" behind mandating that climate change denial ("sk…

Dear readers; As a lot of you may know, I don’t like David Suzuki very much. David Suzuki is an opportunist of the worst kind, who will play the ecology, environment thing for all it’s worth! BUT! That doesn’t mean he is wrong. Once in a while he will hit the nail right on the [...]

The following is a re-post from Anthony Marr’s HomosapiensSaveYourEarth blog. Mr. Marr has a degree in physics and is a long-time advocate for living more sustainably and gently on our earth. In 1996, he led “the highest-profile anti-trophy…

Ryan LeefMember of Parliament for YukonOpen Letter #12
Dear Ryan,
How time has flown. It seems like yesterday that you entered debate in the House of Commons, taking on NDP member Joe Comartin over the postal strike. You lamented the attitude of post…

This isn’t the hotel you’re looking for. Oda is ^NOT a good Canadian politician. She’s decidedly on the dark side of politics, accused for years of extravagant spending, and contempt for Canadians and our institutions. I feel so badly for her constituents. She’s a royal pain in the you-know-what (pocketbook). Bev Oda travel records show [...]

SIDNEY, BC – Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Canada has seen steady progress in environmental legislation and protections  — until this year. This Earth Week was marked by announcements from the Harper Conservatives –  undermining e…

Warren Kinsella says here and here that Progressives should vote for Alison Redford’s Progressive Conservative Party in Alberta’s Provincial election. It is a formulaic and emotional appeal to strategic voting. It presents no argument that such a vote would accomplish anything useful.  The strategic voting argument is always stated as an urgent imperative, and is insulting to our intelligence. (

In green economy and sustainable development debates, some groups have more power to determine goals, policies and outcomes than others. For sustainable development and poverty reduction to be attainable, broad-based participation is required to shift …

Dear Readers; It gets “oh so hard” for your campaigning troubadour and Don Quixote of the intelligentsia to sit here in the middle of the religious and political road, while the traffic goes by at a hundred miles an hour in both directions. I made a comment in the last article about how overly religious [...]

As worldwide demand for data storage skyrockets, so do the power needs of the servers where all our digital archives live. While some companies (like Facebook) have made great progress in ditching dirty fossil-fuel energy for cleaner renewables, a few internet giants (like Apple) lag far behind.

It is estimated that the people of the United Kingdom consume their way through their country’s annual agricultural production by about Easter each year.   Overall, therefore, Brits rely on imports for about two-thirds of their foodstuffs.&nb…

This blog was going to be about “bike rage.” I witnessed an incident yesterday walking to work. I heard an angry yell and an expletive from a woman on a bike enraged with the rider in front of her who was dawdling along in the bike lane cha…

There are of course many different but complementary take-aways  from the Council of Canadians System Change Initiative:  systemchange.ca.  This is a summary of what seems salient if not crucial to me: Global Wa…
