  • In a word, Yes.

    The music industry, like the movie industry and video game industry, wants guaranteed hits. What better way to guarantee a hit than to rehash some old thing that is now more than 7 years old. (And falling!)

  • You realize that the only way China could do it would be to wipe out the entire province, right?

    They'd poison the Arab world against them.

    Otherwise they'll have less success than the west did in Afghanistan, because their military has no experience. Other than losing fights with sticks to the Indian military.

  • Is there any proof that the oil and gas subsidies make it cheaper?

    Price of a liter of gas in
    NYC is $1.07 US
    Dallas Texas is $0.64
    Seattle is $1.29
    LA is $1.18

    Toronto is $1.08
    Calgary is $1.00
    Vancouver is $1.31
    Halifax is $1.35

    London England is $1.88
    Berlin is $2.08

    Fun fact, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle should all be the same price. The latter two get product for free from a Canadian government built pipeline, that dates from the 1950s.

  • No, we're huge emitters because the oil industry isn't properly held in check.

    Alberta and Saskatchewan on their own are about half of the emissions for the entire country. For actual per person emissions, we're in reality slightly better than China.

  • The easiest example as to why the carbon tax is stupid:
    The carbon tax was introduced in BC under Gordon Campbell's hyper conservative and extreme pro oil government.

    If it was ever going to accomplish anything other than looking good and giving the oil and gas industry a tax break, they wouldn't have done it.

    The concept of a carbon tax isn't forcing oil and gas companies to do immediate things, it's just them paying the logging industry to plant some trees in a place that was already logged and was going to be replaced and logged again in the future.

  • decades.

    Israel has admitted, via a former PM, that they built the bunker under the hospital as an expansion to it in the 1980s. Might be why they know exactly where the entrances are.

    Another note is that when the "Health Minister" of the Gaza Strip talks, that's Hamas talking. The government there is Hamas. It's just as much propaganda as what the Likud party spits out.

    Hamas has been the government in the Gaza Strip only since 2007. Its critical to note that Ol' Netanyahu and his cronies were responsible for enabling that power grab.
