This is what ON voted for. Too bad few thought to change their vote to any other party to avoid this.

Initially read that as rainbow 'pythons' and wondered who in the fuck is painting snakes for Pride.

Should have had more caffeine this morning.

Trump is such a fucking cunt.

Nope.

As always, ACAB.

A former senior law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation, said he was struck by the large amount of resources the DOJ put into investigating Abrego Garcia.

"They came hard at a relatively low level guy, which does not necessarily make it improper — just odd. Perhaps they wanted the last word, which seems childish," said the former official. "Typically, you work up the chain; not down it. That said, at least he gets his due process rights this time around."

Seems to me that the DOJ is obeying Trump, and he only wants to be 'proven' right ... even when he's lying through his teeth.

It's some men playing the both-sides game.

Don't blame a journalist for reporting on it.

Not for another 4 years.

It still astounds me that ON voters elected that scumbag again.

Lots of industries just flare it when the winds are blowing the right way, ie: downwind of any Environment Canada sensors.

Methane emissions from Canada’s non-producing oil and gas wells appear to be seven times higher than government estimates, according to a new study led by researchers at McGill University. The findings spotlight a major gap in the country’s official greenhouse gas inventory and raise urgent questions about how methane leaks are monitored, reported and managed.

“Non-producing wells are one of the most uncertain sources of methane emissions in Canada,” said Mary Kang, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at McGill and senior author on the paper. “We measured the highest methane emission rate from a non-producing oil and gas well ever reported in Canada.”

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Over a 20-year period, it traps about 80 times more heat in the atmosphere than the same amount of carbon dioxide. It’s also associated with air pollution and health risks.Kang’s team directly measured methane emissions from 494 wells across five provinces using a chamber-based method and analyzed well-level data such as age, depth and plugging status. The national emissions estimate they arrived at – 230 kilotonnes per year – is sevenfold higher than the 34 kilotonnes reported in Canada’s National Inventory Report. The study was published in Environmental Science & Technology.

You're right. My apologies.

Back in '07-'08 when I was in university I caught a norovirus that was making the rounds. It knocked me on my ass for 2 weeks.

Ever since then I get the flu shot every year.

Your cross-posted link leads right back to this post.

My gawd, Trump is a whiny idjit.

This should be in the NEWS as it's about the USA.

Unfortunately yes, because they are a privately-owned company.

I wish the feds would enact laws that safeguarded abortion care.

Pattison Outdoor has been in other stupid battles as well.

In 2011, Pattison Outdoor Advertising disallowed Beyond Coal, who had bought billboard space on one of the company's billboards, from displaying an anti-coal message until references to the nearby Westshore Terminal, where 700 train cars of coal are loaded each day, were removed.

In 2012, Greenpeace was engaged in talks with Pattison Outdoor Advertising to display a billboard advocating renewable energy sources, but the company abruptly terminated the discussions. When asked why the billboard would not be approved, the company refused to provide a reason. In 2014, Pattison Outdoor Advertising allowed Friends of Science to place a billboard opposed to the scientific consensus on climate change, which prompted organizations like Greenpeace to accuse Pattison Outdoor Advertising and the Jim Pattison Group as a whole of applying a double standard and censoring environmentalist messages.

Canada has a law that avoids this extended bullshit.

This was an ordinary case, reflective of a shift in Canadian law brought about by the Supreme Court of Canada’s 2016 decision in the Jordan case. Since then, Canada’s judiciary takes the timeliness of trials more seriously than ever before. Jordan created presumptive ceilings – 18 months for provincial court trials and 30 months for superior court trials. If a trial takes longer than the ceiling, courts presume it is unreasonable.
