Me and Justin Trudeau - maybe some day - Prime Minister?






Taken at the recent talk by Sandra Postel at the National Press Club on Sparks Street.

Looks like a million bucks to me.

Crash JP Morgan - Buy Silver





They are naked short - go long!


See MaxKeiser.com

1 – JP Morgan has a huge short position in Silver – tied to a huge, extremely precarious derivatives position some estimate to represent approximately 1.5 trillion in risk to its balance sheet.
2 – Various exchanges around the world have been caught manipulating the price of Silver using ‘naked’ short sales (no, there is not always a buyer for every seller).
3 – Of all the actively traded commodities traded around the world, Silver is one of the least plentiful and its supply is shrinking.
4 – Hedge funds are taking physical delivery of Silver – adding substantial demand as well as exposing these exchange’s naked short positions – who are scrambling to deliver – jacking prices up to multi-decade highs – and inspiring these predatory funds to buy more Silver.
5 – There are billions of people around the world who are aware that banks have been committing assembly line fraud and embezzlement who are upset that their politicians seem only interested in aiding the banks to commit more fraud – who are looking for a cheap way to non-aggressively fight back and decapitalize these banks.
6 – Many of these people have the access and wherewithal to purchase 1 or more Silver coins – thus removing even more bullion from the market – forcing additional scrambling by dealers to fill orders – inspiring the funds to buy and take physical delivery of more Silver – creating a colossal short squeeze – in which JP Morgan stands to be the biggest loser.
7 – Buying Silver is how the world is monetizing its anger at the banks who stole their wealth.
8 – Crash JP Morgan Buy Silver

Cosy at the Fresh Water Coalition Fete



This shot was taken at the soirée held last night at the Press Club on Sparks Street.
It was catered by the Whalesbone Restaurant: copious amounts of wine and beer/ courtesy of RBC, along with free fresh oysters on the half shell with such condiments as horse radish and scotch whiskey.

The guest speaker Sandra Postel, National Geographic Freshwater Fellow - All Party Water conservation caucus of the WWF.

The event, hosted by the World Wildlife Fund: sumptuously conceived

One tiny problem:

Canada just racked up a 52 Billion dollar deficit and the US is now going through QE2 (quantitative easing - aka printing money like crazy) to the tune of $600 Billion).

There is no money, only good intentions and cognitive disonance.

PDF - the most destructive Project on Earth

Environmental Defence just released a new report on the Alberta Oil Sands, calling it the most destructive project on Earth. DeSmogblog gleaned some facts from it:

-Oil sands mining is licensed to use twice the amount of fresh water that the entire city of Calgary uses in a year.
-At least 90% of the fresh water used in the oil sands ends up in ends up in tailing ponds so toxic that propane cannons are used to keep ducks from landing.
-Processing the oil sands uses enough natural gas in a day to heat 3 million homes.
-The toxic tailing ponds are considered one of the largest human-made structures in the world. -The ponds span 50 square kilometers and can be seen from space.
-Producing a barrel of oil from the oil sands produces three times more greenhouse gas emissions than a barrel of conventional oil.
