What do you mean exactly? That we don't have billions of barrels of bitumin within a couple hours drive?

As soon as I opened up the story and read 'Mike Harris' and 'Frasier Institute' I knew it was going to be a bunch of bullshit. What else can I expect from the originators of "Tax Freedom Day?"

I couldn't agree more!

I don't really have much interest in senate reform. We have more glaring issues, and while our system does have it shortcomings, I still prefer it to the American system!

Sorry brother, I have enough respect for you as I usually enjoy your posts and feedback, but on this issue I don' think we will see eye-to-eye. I cannot be swayed from my belief that climate change is real and that we are the culprits. Let our kids duke it one day ;)

Is this part of the funding formula that will be released in the fall?

Turning the actual highway into some big floating monstrosity is not quite the beautification I had in mind. Anything less than its dismantling will be a disappointment. I say rip it down, make a majority of it above ground, like a university style boulevard, and bury a very small portion...

Good comments, but a couple of points: - Air Canada's recent layoffs of approx. 2100 employees. This was apparently due to the rise in oil prices. If this is the case from a shift from 1.00 to 1.35 a litre (I know airplanes use jet fuel, and its priced different, just bare with me) then...

Sorry about some of these replies, I haven't got the multi quote thing down.

And, in the overwhelming majority of cases, when the average global temperatures were +/- 5 or more degrees, how habitable was the planet for life, as we know, in the abundance that we have seen it over the last 1000 years? Of course there have been larger variations. For instance, when the...

When will we see some designs?

I believe that the Queens Quay renovations are to start in 2009. Is completion slated for 2011?
