POPSOpen Season on Canadian Water "What Canadians need to know is that this year, from March 2008 to March of 2009, eight lakes are going to be subject to being put on Schedule Two, which is just about every mine that is going ahead this year is looking around, looking for the nearest lake to dump its waste into.” Un. Frickin. Believable! :mad: Time for this government to fall! C'mon, Dion, DO SOMETHING!

POPS Hard Talk With Captain Paul Watson
Not so hard really... But read the whole interview and see...Here's a bit more: What they don’t understand is that we don’t care what people in Atlantic Canada think of us. We are not playing to them. We are reaching out to inform Europeans because the Europeans have the power to end this slaughter. We discovered years ago that the only tactic that will work is to destroy the market for the grisly products of the seal trade. Danny Williams should either arrest me or shut up. Calling me a terrorist may be cute but it has no foundation in reality. I’ve never injured anyone, been convicted of a crime, nor am I under investigation for any crime. And if I want to go to Newfoundland I will – I am a Canadian citizen and Danny Williams has no right to restrict my access to a province that is a part of my country.

POPSSea Shepherd to Bill $1000.00 a Day for the Farley Mowat “And we will sue again,” said Captain Paul Watson. “We will not have the government of Canada trample on our rights as citizens and we will not have the government setting a precedent of boarding non-Canadian vessels in international waters with armed boarding parties.

A week-end poll by the Newfoundland newspaper the Western Star had 75% voting to return the ship.

POPSUnwrapping The EU Climate Package You may say that these are anomalies against the trend, but we seem to have an awful lot of anomalies and not very much trend. "Isn't it true that we are relying on predictions from computer models which are increasingly at odds with reality, and that based on those predictions we are putting in place policies which will do huge damage to European economies, and impoverish our grandchildren?". The guy from the WWF booed. Commissioner Dimas muttered a long reply which contained a lot about the IPCC and the Stern report, nothing at all about the actual climate data . And a footnote on sea ice. Two months ago there was no sea ice south of Greenland. Today my jet flew over the North Atlantic about 400 nm south of the south cape of Greenland, and there was sea ice as far as the eye could see, extending all the way to Newfoundland. This hasn't been seen for many years. A very strong La Nina indeed, helped along by the eerily-prolonged solar minimum.
