Someone in east Toronto and area please go get this cat!! Unlike last time I boosted this guy is actually ready to be adopted, in fact he's more than ready, he's been waiting for months, and it's breaking my heart.

(I mean, you can be from anywhere but probably easier in you're near Scarborough?)

I find PMMC’s capitulation to faux green energy rather disheartening

There is no planet B.
In the whole discussion about a possible pipeline, I don't get how no one wonders whether there would still be a viable market for oil by the time the pipeline gets built. It's just assumed that Asia will continue to buy the oil forever into the future which seems most unlikely.
