Sleep didn’t come very well for me Wednesday night/Thursday morning and I ended sleeping late. We Didn’t get our pay cheque’s last night, some difficulty with the courier but we are assured they will be here today.

So because my team won the Stanley Cup game the other day, I won the pool. Or my share of it: $35. I got $10 out of that today from JT.

I got a call from Audrey’s books saying 3 of my “Mission Earth” books came in. Anne says I can have the pool money and my bonuses. This means I have 5 books there and $43 bonuses plus $35 play off pool money and 11 books still witing to be ordered. Some friggin idiot has his car alarm going off. Most likely some nutcase in the bar. An excerpt from

The Edmonton Sun the other day by Lorrie Goldstein:

Suzuki A lousy jailer

I have a question.

Why doesn't David Suzuki ever call for Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty to be thrown in jail, as he has for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach?

Not that I'm suggesting imprisoning politicians.

But since Suzuki has, and since the David Suzuki Foundation is non-partisan (right?), why doesn't Suzuki ever propose sending Ontario's Liberal premier to the hoosegow?

Just as he did for Canada's Conservative PM and Alberta's Conservative premier, for their alleged environmental crimes?

While a Suzuki spokesman said at the time Suzuki wasn't literally calling for jailing anyone, he sure sounded literal.

So, David Suzuki, what about McGuinty, who acts like he's the Jolly Green Giant of Canada's premiers on the environment, when his record tells a different story?

In the 2003 election, McGuinty promised to close Ontario's coal-fired electricity plants -- big emitters of pollution and greenhouse gases -- and "replace them with cleaner sources of energy".

He's broken that promise twice. His latest pledge? He'll close them by 2014 -- maybe.

Now he won't even install scrubbers to reduce the smog they generate -- smog McGuinty said in 2003, "kills 1,900 Ontarians every year."

Paging Dr. Suzuki. Anybody home?

Then there's the centrepiece of McGuinty's plan to reduce Ontario's greenhouse gas emissions.

GO NUKES

It's to build a new nuclear plant (or plants) for $26.5 billion. I don't blame McGuinty -- he's being realistic given that nuclear power supplies half of Ontario's energy. But don't environmentalists hate nukes?

Where's Suzuki's call for McGuinty to do hard time on that?

What about McGuinty's $500 million investment in Ontario's auto sector, which he boasts has attracted $7 billion of auto industry spending to Ontario -- including production of GM's muscle car, the Camaro, in Oshawa?

McGuinty was so happy in August, 2006, when GM made the announcement, his office released a picture of him posing with GM workers and a hot new, red and white, souped-up Camaro.

I understand McGuinty helping Ontario's auto sector, which yesterday took another hit with GM announcing it's closing its Oshawa truck plant, costing more than 1,000 jobs.

But for environmentalists, public funding for the auto sector isn't going green.

Why no call from Suzuki to toss McGuinty into the clink? The rest of the artical is here:
