Back From Unscheduled Hiatus

Welcome back to the few who check this page.

For those of you who wish to visit my on-line blog, go here. I'll continue to post the links to the stories I covered on the morning show but I will no longer post links to the stories I couldn't get to. You'll find those at either the above link or at the my site for all news Canadian.

Please check out the BBC report from reporter Simon Reeve on the garbage dump in the Pacific. The oil rig spill in the Gulf of Mexico which could threaten the Louisiana coastline. And in some positive news about the search for new energy sources to fill our needs, the world's largest geothermal energy forum is taking place in Indonesia.

That volcano in Iceland was responsible for a drop in carbon emissions worldwide as those cancelled European flights prevented the emission of 2,8 million tons of carbon dioxide! And from the NRDC (Natyral Resources Defense Council) a concise explanation and an easy read on ocean acidification. Coal's dirty secrets. And the advantages of wind power.

In Canada the Afghan Detainee probe is losing steam because of lack of compliance from Ottawa on turning over the records. Like the Tories had hoped no doubt and in a manner that mirrors the Somalia Inquiry.

Go watch Stephen Harper and the Justice Minister stonewall the opposition on questions into the Afghan deatainee issue.

A righteous f***ing rant which I was only too happy to read on my return to the CJLO Morning Show (with some slight edits).

That was my morning, and in spite of a couple of tech difficulties it felt like a good one. Hope yours was too. Talk tomorrow!
