Re: Our climate models are WRONG: Global warming has slowed - and recent changes are
I was born there, a little village called Elora. Your words make me sad. Just as sad as when the NDP was in power here in the 90's and families were being ripped apart because there was no work. For the first time in its history, there was not enough work in BC.
Now, "Upper Canada" is faltering, and while I have no problem with transfer payments, this is not how Canada should operate.
I am less concerned about socialists here. After the devastation we handed them in '12, they're phone booth meetings have produced nothing of interest; the new leader was the only candidate and while a nice guy, he's still a socialist. They are trying to re-invent themselves, they went the 'eco route' and opposed an oil pipeline not even proposed yet. That pissed off they're core, unionized workers in the resource industry so they left. The politics here now is "drill mother****er, drill and hurry up on those pipelines". The usually leftist media is harping that there isn't enough development like the Liberals promised.
If you are thinking of coming here, know that it really is a different culture here. Vancouver may look like a busy, industrious city, but one of the biggest industries is leisure. Ontarians sometimes have trouble adapting. A lot of laws are simply ignored here because there isn't a problem. We have marijuana dispensaries on every block and "Insight" the safe injection site is a national pride. I like it laid back like that.
Ontario is being bankrupted by liberal green idiots and they are now going to attempt to bankrupt the citizenry as well. Get ready out in BC for having your federal tax dollars funneled into Ontario as our economy craters in the next few years.
Sad to say, but after living my entire life here, I will be seriously considering a move out of this Province in the near future. I won't enter energy poverty to fund these destructive fools.
