Is Canada's "New government ™" out of its frickin' mind? I am no greenie, nor am I an EnvironMENTAList but I certainly do enjoy our great outdoors. Who in their right minds would even consider this never mind think it is an acceptable solution to dispose of tailing wastes from mines. Give your heads a shake people.
Lakes across Canada to be turned into mine dump sites
CBC News has learned that 16 Canadian lakes are slated to be officially but quietly "reclassified" as toxic dump sites for mines. The lakes include prime wilderness fishing lakes from B.C. to Newfoundland.
Environmentalists say the process amounts to a "hidden subsidy" to mining companies, allowing them to get around laws against the destruction of fish habitat.
Under the Fisheries Act, it's illegal to put harmful substances into fish-bearing waters. But, under a little-known subsection known as Schedule Two of the mining effluent regulations, federal bureaucrats can redefine lakes as "tailings impoundment areas." [...]
Call me disgusted to say the least.

Whichever way it is looked at, Britain is threatened by what, thanks to years of dereliction and misjudgment, has become arguably our most serious potential crisis of modern times.
Politically, the blame for this astounding mess lies in all directions - with the Tories, with Labour, with Brussels, with those smugly shortsighted 'environmentalists'.
But all that matters now is that we put the need to avert this disaster right at the top of our national political agenda.
We need to get on with solving as terrifying a problem as our politicians have ever faced.
Welcome to the dark ages...

Winter-like weather returned to the Northwest as snow fell across the state Tuesday including on Mount Hood where drivers were dealing with unusual weather for this time of year.
And while it didn't cause major problems, most people were asking, "What happened to spring?"
The snowfall at Timberline Tuesday was amazing, blowing snow and ice most of the day. There was packed snow and ice on the roadway that turned to slush in some spots and the trees were coated thickly.
Even though the Fourth of July is less than a month away to many it seemed more like February.
Yup, our planet is certainly warming... LMAO

I hate to burst your bubble on this "historic day" Prime Minister Harper. However, you did not apologize for "all Canadians" today. A whole lot of us have nothing to apologize for. Our ancestors had nothing to do with any of this and neither did we, yet we shall pay with our tax dollars in yet another feel good deed by our government.
Love from your never ending cash supply.

Last month, polar bears were listed as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act because their sea ice habitat is melting away... (That melting part is still up for debate. Just like the whole Global Warming, we are all going to die thing.)
The first polar bear to been seen in Iceland in 20 years was SHOT DEAD!
Go figure...
