atomic energy of canada limited

I don't know how much ("taxpayers"/public) R&D money was invested in AECL since the 1940s, but in 2011 its technology sold for a mere $15 million, plus 15 years of royalties, which could net a return of ... (as much as!) ... $285 million.

In 2009 alone, it received $651 million in federal support. Optics: someone got a sweet deal. And it wasn't Linda Keen, the president of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission or any nuclear remediation people. I await the Canadian Taxpayers Federation report on this debacle.

Candu reactor, "CANada Deuterium Uranium"
Predictions. CBC is kind of a Crown Corporation, so it will go to Quebecor for $1.75. Canada Post, au revoir. The Bank of Canada and Royal Canadian Mint will get sucked into the U.S. Federal Reserve vortex of Fraser Institology um, City of London mergerness. Canadian Museum of Civilizational History, almost fini ($25 million). Military Museums, who knows, just say yay! illegal settlements, fait accompli. The Young Royals and The Baby will make many appearances during times of comet tails, Jesus, and Heavens to Betsy what's-her-name will look like a nice brunette Mary and madonna, just like a Warhol suddenly is on the Sotheby's market with #99. The U.S. will default on its debt, so the wars will be free!

That's how Minister Flaherty will balance his books, with fire sales.

there he is! poet lariat

Wikipedia: Noah (orant)
Jet stream gets stuck. The weather system came over the mountains from the Pacific. As it spun and stalled over the foothills, it pulled in moisture from Saskatchewan, the United States and the Gulf of Mexico.

As Parliamentary Poet, Fred Wah had one assignment: Diamond Jubilee. Souds easy nufh, and they're hiring! Queen's a queen for sixty, ain't that nifty. [£900,000]

Nomination deadline: Position of Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate, 2014-2016. Deadline to submit nominations: Wednesday 3 July 2013.

Wah says he would like more work. According to the National Post, he has a "list of what would have been more worthy topics for Canada’s national poet to tackle, apparently taking aim at the Conservative government’s immigration reforms, its legislative agenda on aboriginal issues, its strong backing for Israel on questions of peace and security in the Middle East, and its openness to the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline."

According to Wah: “I wish that my government had asked me to write poetry about immigration policy, about Idle No More, about Canada’s complicity in the Middle East, the Enbridge pipeline... I haven’t been asked to do any of those things.” ("A Poet Without Poems," National Post)

The position of poet lariat was vacant from April to Dec 2011. Wah is a former teacher at Selkirk College, David Thompson University Centre and the University of Calgary.

Ideas for Parliamentary Committee, PBO, PMO, or Whoever Is In Charge of Poet Laureate's Assignments. Big, big floods. Floods of the century. Unprecedented, catastrophic, floods. (many rivers! creeks! :: Bow R. 1902, 1915, 1932 :: Elbow R. 1915, 1923, 1929, 1932, 2005 :: God willing and the creek/s don't rise. property values, hazard zones. realtors, developers.) Senate? Elections Canada. Wright-wing nuts? White-ring nuts? Stampedes for Winnipeg KISS key tickets... and Cheney Dixie Chicks doctrine? MacKenzie Northern Railway, CPR, Mary River Railroad, Baffinland. CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corp). Permafrost. Alberta Saudi Bushes. Snubbery: Marc Garneau. Brad Wall, potash, uranium. Big Brother/PRISM & NSA premiering on Global TV? Season 15, of digitizing and modernizing. There's that. Word Nation in April 21-28. Edmonton 2013.

Transport Canada deletes environment from Transport Canada website (Navigable Waters Protection Act)(Oct/12), even though parts of a CP train loaded with hazmat just may fall in a river and force the evacuation of a surrounding neighborhood and an already-under-repair waste water treatment plant and, in a large city that's in a local state of emergency. You kin delete environment butt it'll delete you, that's Leviticus, more than shellfish. A 1996 damage estimate for a *1/100 Year* Calgary flood is $131 million (actual: ~$500 million).

pierre poutine - misdirecting voters

Well. that's just great. First a Conservative staffer is fired, or resigns, the same stormtrooper at Guelph (Michael Sona) and helper to Rob or was it James Moore of fake iPod tax advertisements and also to Marty Burke, in the capacity of communications specialist.

Hm. On January 19, 2010, James Moore ( Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam) of Chuck Cadman fame, nono, Rob Moore (Fundy Royal) was appointed to cabinet as the Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism), who replaced Diane Ablonczy [that trouble with gay pride festival funding in hogtown], who moved to Minister of State (Seniors), and he (Rob) was released from cabinet after the May 2nd general election in 2011.

Robo-calls: Tory MPs used top U.S. Republican firm during May election, Mar 03 2012
Fourteen Conservative MPs signed on with a well-connected Republican company during last year’s election campaign, contrary to the party’s claims, the Star has learned.
On its website, Front Porch Strategies, a “voter contact and constituency outreach” firm based in Columbus, Ohio, boasts: “In May’s federal elections, Front Porch Strategies won all 14 of their races.”
