Israeli election - the NYT concedes defeat

Netanyahu Soundly Defeats Chief Rival in Israeli Elections.

Also badly disappointed are the CBC and its many Israel-hating followers (see the comments)

 and as no doubt is Barack Obama after wasting taxpayers' money attempting to defeat Bibi:

Elizabeth May says global warming is saving us from a new ice age (and that's a bad thing?!)

In yesterday's debate (at about the 28 min mark), Green Party leader Elizabeth May argued that human induced global warming is preventing our entry into a new ice age.  In other words were it not for AGW, Canada would soon be looking at being buried under kilometer thick ice sheets. All life, all civilization, in Canada would be virtually wiped out! This would be an ecological Armageddon for Canada, would it not? 

So how can Elizabet May (Canada's Green Party leader) simultaneously argue that global warming is a bad thing, that Canada needs to take urgent action to stop it?

Climate debate: Tim Ball vs Elizabeth May

This afternoon, Victoria's CFAX 1070 radio station hosted a live debate between Tim Ball and Green Party climate alarmist Elizabeth May.  

Listen to the podcast (starting at about the 6 minute mark).

Mark Carney - climate loon

Speaking of climate lunacy, James Delingpole isn't too impressed with Canada's contribution to the BoE. 

Bank of England governor talks rubbish on climate change:
Three things are clear.

1. Carney cannot speak intelligible English, only evasive, flannelly CorporateSpeak.

2. Under Carney’s leadership, the Bank of England has joined the long, long list of institutions speaking well above their pay grade on the climate change issue, which it is palpably obvious they do not understand.

3. Carney, like his greenie activist wife, has bought wholesale into the climate change scare, can barely conceal his lofty contempt for those, such as Lord Lawson, who are not “with the programme”, and thus feels under no obligation to justify his position because he’s right, damn it, all the world’s climate experts say so….

Divestment - the UN's latest climate enthusiasm

UN backs fossil fuel divestment campaign

The UN organisation in charge of global climate change negotiations is backing the fast-growing campaign persuading investors to sell off their fossil fuel assets.  

Of course the UN is backing an overtly activist political climate campaign.  It had already politicized climate "science" through its corrupt UNIPCC.  This was an inevitable next step.

If this were to take hold in any serious way, the world economy would indeed be in deep ka-ka.

Ontario sex-ed: John Carpay vs Michael Coren

In today's Post, John Carpay writes an excellent rebuttal to Michael Coren's rather offensively condescending piece taking conservative Christians to task for their "hysterical" reaction to Ontario's new sex-ed curriculum.

Who knew that anyone would have to defend Christians from Michael Coren?

Justin's plunging "inevitability" numbers

Warren Kinsella at the Hill Times:

... a few days ago... Abacus’ poll showed ... that, between last August and now, Justin Trudeau’s inevitability had slipped 15 percentage points. That is, a lot fewer folks expected him to win, now. 

Fifteen points. That’s a lot. The last time that number happened to the Liberal Party of Canada, in fact, was a decade ago. Remember? Paul Martin commenced his “Mad As Hell” tour ...
