Campaign promises often fall by the wayside once politicians make it to office, but not for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Less than a month after his election, Canada's head of state has put his pledge to ban oil tanker traffic into motion.
In a letter published Friday, Trudeau asked his Minister of Transportation to "formalize a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic on British Columbia's North Coast," the Calgary Herald reports.
Such a ban could potentially shut down the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline, in which crude oil from Alberta would be piped up to north to British Columbia and then shipped overseas. A coalition of environmental groups and aboriginal advocates funded by American progressives applauded Trudeau's decision. Canada, by a small margin, has a positive trade balance. But of the $438B in exports, $111.7B of it is petroleum based. That's one quarter of the entire economy on the export front. Looks like Canada is trying to commit economic suicide.

Well, Deacon, this chart shows there is no way in hell we can power the USA by shutting down coal like Obama envisions. chart of US energy flow for 2014
The world's left is kind of suicidal on the whole carbon thing.
In the Livermore Graph, the term 'Rejected Energy' is the 'waste' due to delivery, usage (poor utilization) and infrastructure inefficiencies.

Does this Artic mean the very same British Columbia that was threatening in years past to secede from Canada + either join the US as a State or be a independent sovereign Country in its own right???
A Burnsville DFLer's campaign for the state House abruptly ended Sunday morning within hours of him posting on social media that ISIS "isn't necessarily evil" and is "made up of people doing what they think is best for their community."
The Twitter posting Saturday by Dan Kimmel, coming as the world's emotions remain raw from Friday's terror attacks in Paris, brought swift rebuke from others on Twitter.
The response to Kimmel's initial post on Twitter included rebukes and puzzlement: "What in the world are you talking about??!" and "Kind of like the Nazis, Stalin or Pol Pot," read two replies.

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

Liberals ask yourself one question. Do you want to have this lying womyn in office for 8 years? Do you want to be under live under lies and duress for another 8 years? Well, do you?

Now, JQC, liberals have no objections to lying. They lie in school---that's why have better grades. They lie about their professional competence when applying for work. They lie about how they feel.

The pop-ups do stop (eventually), but her's the article and photo.:
(Controversial Times) The photo below has been causing trouble for Hillary Clinton for over a decade now. Since her campaign is ramping up for the Democratic Presidential nomination, it’s surfacing again.
In the photo, an unidentified soldier flashes the sign of coercion, taught to military graduates of survival school, as he poses with then Senator Hillary Clinton. The sign is meant to convey a forced situation, or distress, implying that the soldier did not actually want to take the photo.
Before you head to the net to vet this story, everyone’s favorite online debunking site, Snopes, has already done it. According to their analysis they find that the story is TRUE:
The implication of the photograph shown above (which began circulating on the Internet in early 2004 and was taken at one of the military facilities New York senator Hillary Clinton visited in Iraq during the Thanksgiving 2003 holidays), then, is that despite the smiling faces and friendly hand-shaking captured in the picture, the soldier is communicating that he is not really all that pleased to be meeting Senator Clinton.
The “not really all that pleased” assessment is evidently accurate — although the picture originally appeared without any accompanying text, and the “coercion” caption was only added later to make the humor of the photograph more explicit — as the soldier pictured with Senator Clinton (who asked that we not identify him by name) told us that he employed the gesture to indicate that he was not a fan of the senator’s and was not as appreciative of having the opportunity to meet (and pose with) her as it might otherwise appear.

For the liberals* socialists its all about power. Any means are justified. That's why they identify with the jihadists. That's why they don't care about lying.
*They've already dropped the mask. Call them what they now call themselves - socialists.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
