Yes, I would think for everyone to be vegan or even vegetarian it would need an enlightened society with so much available excess that no one is left at the fringes, or such a small population living in the desolate ruin of the world where humans are the only meat remaining.

I imagine part of the problem the Democrats have in developing ready counter strategies is imagining the depths to which their opponent will sink.

Predictable tragedies that could have been avoided are the saddest.

The politician and the 'health official' are on the opposite sides of the issue that I assumed from the summary... what world.

If I were the boss here the first one would be to let people know this is the new normal, but I probably wouldn't fire anyone or do much shuffling as a result of the first round, but otherwise conduct the process very seriously. Well, that's what I'd want to do, but I have a lot of trouble with the word 'serious' and other such words that serious people hold court with.

I'd expect that someone like Carney will, at minimum, make an example of someone to put the fear into the others. That's what TV and movie logic says to do anyway. I guess we'll find out if he is a movie guy soon.

They also seem to be claiming that the lake has chosen this name for itself. I wonder who in their administation is claiming to divine the desires of large bodies of waters - an important discovery if true!

Well they had to be able to credibly threaten that they could build a windfarm, so that's probably worth a few hundred grand to a some amount of millions depending on where they got to in the process.

I wonder if they'd like to sell the land rights they'd have lined up to someone else who might like to not do a wind farm.

If the government wanted the people to have it they could have stipulated that or, better yet, given it directly to the people. You need a complicit government for 'privatized profit; socialized loses'

Being financial able to contribute is required to validate an opinion. Just like only the wealthy should vote.

Yep, even if we (humans) started doing everything right today, we'll still be deteriorating for years. That is my very limited understanding.

Canadians might not lead the way on deaths by starvation in the coming years, but we are all on this ball together. It is our duty to act to prevent this disaster, and as a relatively young and relatively wealthy nation I would say our proportion of that duty should be greater than simply our percentage of causing it.

She is a soulless opportunist who has built her powerbase on top of a doomsday cult. I'd say when she heard the news that "canada hates them" she said to herself "great, we'll take them all" and a little smile kissed her lips.

The leader who does it will be one name everyone knows for many many years. I would think that would be attractive to people who seek a public life.

If there were actually exercise bikes involved at least we could laugh our way toward the end.
