Last week a group of Russian scientists reported that the effect of the oil spill could mean acid rains across North America that could devistate the entire continent.

And now there are reports of strange dots on crops that appear to have been caused by acid rain.

The biggest ecological disater to ever happen is enfolding on us. For the last couple of weeks my moods have been shifting from deep sadness for those who live in the gulf, the sea life, and birds, to anger at BP for its inaction or ineffective action in handling this crisis, to helplessness as I see the power oil has over our daily lives, economy, and governments. Apathy is just not acceptable, and action is necessary. The Obama Administration seems to just be paying lip service to the offshore drilling issue, we must make ourselves be heard as America will never be the same again after this disaster, as it was after 911.

Just saw this video, and thought it depicts this message in a powerful way. Spread it around. Offshore drilling must stop.

It seems there has been so many disasters as of late, in particular earthquakes, but this oil company made disaster does deserve your attention too.

I have read far too many posts saying, "I will not pay for BP's disaster, they made this mess, they need to fix it". Sadly this disaster is just too terrible for the people of the gulf, and the wildlife in the gulf region. There are reports now that this disaster will travel around Florida and go up the west coast. We can not afford to sit on our hands because we are pissed at British Petroleum.

Please take some time do some research and help.

A tweet from Rueters is saying there is a second off shore oil disaster happening now in the Gulf near Morgan City, LA.

I am so sad over this terrible terrible disaster. I feel terrible to be a human, and I feel for the habitat that will be lost and the suffering the wildlife will have to endure now and for many years to come. We have crossed the point of no return IMO, ecosystems are interconnected. I believe the Mississippi flows northward from the Gulf, so this is not only a coastal problem, this is a problem that effects the major waterways that run though America."

As of Friday January 29th, 2010 a popular protest site disappeared from Facebook, called No BC HST
No BC HST

The site had over 130,000 members. The HST tax is a harmonized sales tax that would see the tax shift move from corporations to individuals, and is viewed as a tax grab for the Conservative Federal and BC Liberal Governments. It should be noted, provincially, Liberal governments tend to be right of centre

Today thousands of Canadians showed their support for democracy and rage against Harper for shutting down Parliment. There were 64 rallies held across Canada, and rallies also were held in San Fransisco, London, and Costa Rica.

Much ado has been made from right wing commentators on Obamas swift reaction to Haiti's devistating hurricane vs. his 3 day lapse regarding the Christmas day terrorist attempt. The Haitian Government is reporting up to 200 thousand people have died in Tuesday's Earthquake.

This is just so hilarious I thought I would share it with my American friends, and why Canadians are so frustrated with our political system.

Well Stephen Harper, Canada's Prime Minister, is taking over where Bush left off. While Obama spoke in front of MIT today about the imminent threat of Climate Change, and investing in new technologies to battle climate change, the Conservative Government of Canada, was scheming on how to sabotage the Copenhagen talks that will take place in December. This is so shameful to most Canadians, aside from the 36% who vote Conservative.

I think my white trash neighbours are dressing their 4 year old as an Obama Joker for Halloween. I will explain why after the fold. I am concerned that thousands of other folks across America will ruin Halloween, by using their own children as political pawns for their own sedistic fun.

As of late, I have been reading on the history of Saskatchewan and how Medicare came to be. Many on here think that Medicare is just something that came to Canada, because Canada is just a more socialist country. Canadians are no more progressive than Americans, perhaps it is because we did have a few leaders who were able to communicate with the people and plot out an agenda to get progressive legislation passed. Woodrow Lloyd, the man who took over as Premier of Saskatchewan from Tommy Douglas when Douglas resigned was tasked with getting Medicare passed in the legislature. It is a very interesting piece of history, as well you can see the degree of similarities between the current health care fight.
