I haven't read that book, but I did read a comprehensive (and flattering) review of it that appeared in Common Ground, December 2006, written by Amanda
Brown. If her summary of the technical argument is correct, then the claims are counter to several accepted physical laws. I have read Bird, Bees and Mankind, and it doesn't actually constitute evidence. It's more of a speculative piece.
Anecdotes, by the way, aren't evidence of the positive claims you've made. What I am interested in are solid studies, and there are quite a lot of them. To the best of my knowledge, the vast majority of them are unable to show any effect whatsoever (and those that do show a small enough effect that the best that can be said about them is they indicate a need for more research).
I know you'll dismiss this outright, but the World Health Organization's backgrounder provides a better overview of the direction that studies are currently pointing: http://www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/facts/fs296/en/ | 0 | not toxic |

"...THE SAME OBJECTS MAKE DIFFERENT SHADOWS
Here’s one you can try at home. If the Earth were flat, you could drive two sticks into the ground at any place on Earth, and the shadows those sticks would make would be the same length. (Because the Sun is so far away from Earth, its incoming rays can be considered parallel).
Place a stick in the ground on a sunny day, then measure the length of the shadow. At the same time, call a friend who is at least a few miles away from you and tell them to do the same. The lengths you measure will be different! The curvature of a spherical Earth means that sun rays will hit each stick differently if they are far enough apart...." | 0 | not toxic |

When Trump refused to call out Nazis and white supremacists even after a domestic terrorist killed one woman and maimed more in Charlottesville, Virginia—and then averred that “very fine people” were marching under Confederate flags—the extremists recognized the signal.

When Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the administration was bringing the hammer down on the DACA program, he cited two lies popular among far-right nativists: That “Dreamers” take jobs away from Americans, and that the program prompted the surge in unaccompanied child immigrants (who, for the record, are not eligible for DACA status). | 1 | toxic |
That's a good comment, and I think you're right that many Canadians feel that way.
On the other hand, there comes a point when 'not doing any great harm' becomes insufficient reason to retain the status quo. I believe we've already reached the point where more good will come of Canada having a home-grown head of state, than will retaining a hereditary monarch. | 0 | not toxic |

Like I said Canadians are financially illiterate and cannot decipher numbers. I'll point out what you're missing.
1) $50k down on a $400k condo (12.5%) means you're paying CMHC insurance, which is $10,850 for the first year (see CMHC website) and slightly less every year after. Assuming an average of $8k per year, you're out $40k over 5 years.
2) Did she do her own home inspection and legal paperwork at closing? If not, that's another $2k. How about land transfer tax? If she's not a first time home buyer, that's another $8k.
3) Opportunity cost - if the $50k down payment was invested in a bank stock with 4% dividend and assuming tax of 50%, she's still getting $5k over 5 years.
4) Repairs and maintenance at 1% of cost is $4k a year or $20k over 5 years.
Recap: Rent less dividend = $121k
Ownership including all costs = $156k+mortgage insurance $40k+repairs $20k+closing costs $10k = $226k.
You have paid off $52k of principal but you've paid $100k more than the renter. Renting wins. | 0 | not toxic |
Islam means submission. It means that you submit to the rule of Allah as written in the Koran. The shahada, the prayer oath of obedience, "There is one God. Allah is God. Muhammad is the prophet of God.” is the foundation of Islam and said of by all Muslims. One must put Islam ahead of all things, even one's own life. The hijab is a sign she is FIRST a Muslim. but an American secondly. . She is loyal to a country only to the extent that does not conflict with Islam. Therefore, Muslims must denounce any person, politician or country (which is in fact any western democracy) that does not uphold Islamic submission to Allah. The mayor of London believes exactly the same thing: it is impossible/forbidden to be critical of Islam, no matter how much blood is shed for Allah.
The shahada also is the white text on the black flag of ISIS. How could she be critical of them? | 1 | toxic |

I will start by saying that I own shares of both BCE & Telus. (Full disclosure)
I live in northern BC and Telus has recently completed FTTH in my community. I personally dropped my landline since my wife and I both have mobile phones. We signed up for Telus internet and IP television (Optik). We previously had Bell satellite. Although it took time to get used to Optik we are completely satisfied with the service and enjoy the 150mb internet connection. It is a vast improvement over the 3mb DSL connection we had previously.
I support this initiative by both these companies as it is an investment in the future of telecommunications. At this point the fastest connection known is fiber and I feel that this will help secure the long term future of these telcos.
As for those that feel wireless is the future, for some applications this may be true. One has to remember that wireless is limited to available spectrum which is being quickly devoured. FTTH does not have this limitation. | 0 | not toxic |

Easy to prove the "generations of parasites". Look at the families living at Mayor Wright Housing. Walk through and you can talk to the two and three generations who have grown up there and never left. Many feel that they own their units and have no intention on ever leaving.

Brilliant column. Kelly is right. Sports has long since not been about sports but about talking about sports and, further, the entertainment and self-indulgent entity it has become; a joke, really. Full disclosure I'm a retired journalist wrote similar stuff railing about these developments but this does not take away from Kelly's view. Sports has become a freak show given social media and such. For instance, defining moments of recent Stanley Cup final: PK Subban and Listerine. I mean seriously, people. Yet Subban knew exactly what he was doing, getting 'me' publicity he milked for 3-4 days with a complicit media (though he seemed to have missed that he pissed Crosby off and thereby essentially cost Predators the series). And so this is where we are with sports - FBI investigations into who stole Tom Brady's jersey (I mean federal funds wasted on that??) and on and on. It's a joke and I for one for the very most part don't play anymore. It's not worth my attention but for this comment | 0 | not toxic |

Frankly, I think they would have more impact if they took personal action to reduce demand for oil. The oil market doesn't have a lot of capacity buffer. If even 5% of the population stopped driving for every little thing, the Bakken oil fields would lose money hand over fist and be shut down.
As a side benefit, global oil prices would plummet which would severely harm Russia, Iran, ISIS and Saudi Arabia, none of whom are exactly positive players on the world stage.

Exactly what counts as "selective" is a little ambiguous. There is every reason for loggers to cut more--especially if, as I understand it, US taxpayers will foot the bill for the helo that extracts the logs--and very little incentive for them to cut less.
And there's a long history of "cutting for health" that turns into a clear cut, from what I've heard.
These cuts need to be planned, and executed, on the ground, by silviculture specialists and arborists charged with protecting the public interest, and the integrity of the woodlands. Nothing else makes sense. Neither side trusts the other, for good reason, too. | 0 | not toxic |

Wohlforth advocates for "a needed fix for "Obamacare" follows through a bipartisan process" seemingly forgetting that every single Democrat voted no on this proposal, hardly hope for bipartisanship. Then he goes on to praise Senator Murkowski for voting against opening debate on healthcare, go figure. | 0 | not toxic |
How timely!
A new book out: "Hitler, Ascent" by Volker Ullrich
From the NY Times review:
"A new biography portrays Hitler as a clownish, deceitful narcissist who took control of a powerful nation thanks to slick propaganda and a dysfunctional elite that failed to block his rise."
"How did Adolf Hitler — described by one eminent magazine editor in 1930 as a 'half-insane rascal,' a 'pathetic dunderhead,' a 'nowhere fool,' a 'big mouth' — rise to power in the land of Goethe and Beethoven? What persuaded millions of ordinary Germans to embrace him and his doctrine of hatred? How did this 'most unlikely pretender to high state office' achieve absolute power in a once democratic country and set it on a course of monstrous horror?"
Hmmm ... do the descriptions fit any contemporary political candidate?
Should we be worried? Nahhh ... vote Libertarian so you can feel superior.

We have Obamacare today because of Ms Murkowski. However neither she nor her staff have Obamacare having been exempted bt Presidential decree. How many of those getting subsidies would lose and how many would already qualify in other ways. As Abraham Lincoln observed, the best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it. Make Ms Murkowski actually follow her law | 0 | not toxic |
"preponderance of evidence based on current knowledge"…is my thought on how to proceed in science and with policy actions related to science.
We can agree or disagree he and what the evidence tells us – a group of blind and will see an elephant in very different ways, depending on where they grab the elephant – but to truly know the elephant They need to respect and hear the perspectives of others who are feeling the elephant from different places - and try to assemble it into an integra portrait.
It's amazing to me that loud, ignorant and derisive - and special-interest funded - has led to a feeling of necessity to have a "March For Science".
But if we want to prevent ignorance, venality and self-aggrandizement from – again and again and again – "guiding" our world into disaster and avoidable horror ,
