A sustainable agriculture company has manufactured a device they say will help curb global warming by neutralizing methane exhaled by cows.
Zelp, a company based in London, says that its device can help contribute to a “strong reduction in the global warming potential of methane.”
The mask, which is strapped to the snouts of cows, “neutralises methane exhaled in real time,” the company claims.
Ever since Justin Trudeau introduced his carbon tax in 2019, the Prime Minister and his environment ministers have been dining out on their claim 80% of families will be better off financially because of carbon tax rebates.
But in Ontario, that’s simply not true.
Just when you thought that 2021 would see the U.S. and the world return to pre-COVID-19 ‘normal,’ here comes another government bureaucrat to slam that door shut.
CBC News reported on New Years’ Eve that Allard, the rookie UCP MLA for Grande Prairie, visited Hawaii on a family vacation earlier in December. She was out of the province from December 19 to December 26.
“The higher the number of people surrounding the infected person, the more the virus will spread,” explained Prof. Andrei Sommer.
Electric-powered cars are now the rage. Tesla’s market capitalization is seven times larger than that of General Motors and fourteen times larger than Ford’s, though it builds a fraction of the vehicles that those companies do. Many politicians are even considering banning gasoline-powered cars within a few years in favor of electric vehicles (EVs), all in the name of saving the planet.
His comments followed an earlier report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Iran had notified the UN watchdog of its intention to enrich nuclear fuel to that mark at its facility in Fordo.
“Our fingers are on the trigger. The commander just needs to issue an order,” Salehi said.
Most of us have now heard about the sudden resignation of finance minister Rod Phillips following his two week trip to St. Barts over the holidays as COVID-ravaged Ontario entered a province-wide lockdown.
Ontario alone has seen a dramatic rise in daily COVID-19 cases — topping 3,000 in recent days — beyond what many modeling projections have suggested. Now is not the time for members of leadership to take vacations.
As Quebecers start 2021, many are scratching their heads or voicing frustrations about what they’re allowed to shop for until Jan. 11 when the province’s “circuit breaker” lockdown is set to end.
Canadians could lose hundreds of dollars from their paycheques as the government plans to increase the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contribution tax in 2021.
Listening to the media today, one sometimes hears the phrase “new normal.” The dictionary defines normal as “conforming to a norm or standard.” That means it is society that determines what is normal and what is not, depending on what is happening in the country.
Over a thousand Iraqi refugees have been resettled in Portland.
The year that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s Islamic terror state travel ban, an Iraqi member of ISIS applied for American citizenship.
Hawazen Sameer Mothafar didn’t have much to worry about. Not only was he already living in the United States, but under political pressure, Iraq had been taken off the travel ban list.
And no one would have suspected Mothafar of being an ISIS terrorist. He was in a wheelchair.
Without further ado:
1) Pointing Fingers
A 6-year-old with Down Syndrome made a finger gun gesture at her teacher and said, “I shoot you.” That was enough to trigger a call to the cops in Tredyffrin, Pennsylvania. While the principal and teacher agreed that the girl had not intended to make a threat, they said district policy mandates safety threat assessments. Apparently even when everyone knows there is no safety threat.
Each time a member of the big media reports on someone referring to acts of fraud or even irregularities in the Nov. 3 presidential election, they describe them as “baseless claims” or “unproven.”
Such words are included in almost wire story since election day published by the Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg, and others.
Actually, there are many examples of vote fraud that took place during the 2020 election, and serious evidence of voting irregularities relating to the main-in ballots.
When the first sign of intelligent life first visits us from space, it won’t be a giant saucer hovering over New York. More likely, it will be an alien civilization’s trash.
Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, believes he’s already found some of that garbage.
In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology.
A curious mix of Marxism, identity politics, and race and gender confusion.
“We actually do have an ideological frame,” says Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors of herself and co-founder Alicia Garza. “Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.”
Much has been made of that statement from Cullors, and rightly so.
Despite enormous efforts, despite a battery of programs and remedial regimes and the emergence of an entire sub-industry of school consultants and marketeers, the capacity to read and write across the English-speaking world shows evidence of steep decline. This should be a cause for community concern. Poor literacy is strongly associated with anti-social behaviour. Very literate people seldom enter the prison system, which suggests that widespread literacy is part of a good inoculation against criminality.
In most Western societies, the prison population has the highest concentration of illiteracy.
The image of Harry and Meghan was perhaps the most telling of the year when it comes to their new relationship with the royals.
He was in a sombre suit with a red poppy and military medals, she in a long black dress. They held hands as they walked through Los Angeles National Cemetery on Remembrance Sunday in November to lay a floral tribute to the fallen.
In what was seen as a flagrant publicity stunt, the couple had chosen to release the pictures after Harry had been refused permission for a wreath to be laid at the Cenotaph on his behalf that day, alongside those of other members of his family.
TORONTO — An expanding list of Canadian politicians are in hot water after being caught vacationing or travelling abroad amid a worsening COVID-19 pandemic at home.
Current federal public health guidance says to avoid all non-essential travel outside of Canada, something Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and health authorities have repeatedly reiterated in public briefings.
Shootings and murders skyrocketed in Chicago last year, after three years of declining violence in the city.
In 2020, the city saw 774 murders, an increase of more than 50% compared to the 506 murders in 2019, according to data compiled by the Chicago Sun-Times. Ninety percent of Chicago Police Department districts reported more murders in 2020 than in 2019, and nearly a quarter of homicides occurred in just three districts on the west side of the city.
