Climate Change Hysteria
Who would have thunk it?
"Winter weather marches through Canada, wreaking havoc on city streets" In winter, in Canada, I'm not making this up!
Cancell my trip to the tropics of Canada, they have snow there! Like this is something none of us have ever experienced? It must have something to do with climate change! Leave it to the MSM to come up with this line.....

A lesson on percentages
In a very technical way, CTV is correct. That is if you consider .34% a smaller percentage. However most people round things up or down to the nearest whole number when working with percentages. But if you want to spin things why bother with trite details? A comment by Daryl over at SDA. Looks like the staff over at CTV want to play number games.
This zinger from the CTV web site:
"The size of cabinet has increased from 27 to 32 positions, with a smaller percentage of women on the team."
I tried to use my slide rule but couldn't tell the difference. Went back to using a calculator to determine that the percentage change in women went from 6/27=22.22% to 7/32=21.88%. So rounding, that would be a change from 22% to 22%.
Clearly this is a big news story and should have dominated the day's events.

Just so you know (updated with facts)
In case you have been living under a rock or in a coma until just now, and by some chance missed the news for the past umteen hours. Saddam Hussein was executed at around 10PM EST on Saturday December 30, 2006. Friday December 29, 2006. Just thought you should know that. I will be repeating this news for, well, ever! Because it is important news and deserves to be repeated at nauseating intervals.
