The Speaker ejected the two CPC MPs for challenging him on blatent favortism. He allowed Trudeau to sling false and defamatory accusations of racism, terrorism, and anti LGBT+ at Poiliervre, unabated. But, the Speaker objected when Pierre said true things about Trudeau's racism, and called Trudeau a "whacko Prime Minister." Watch the entire video. You tell me. Was the Speaker fair?? https://www.cpac.ca/question-period/episode/april-30-2024?id=d1f02833-b5ce-4b82-8e06-d75fc331e594#

Kat points out one of the ways in which the dicotomy between productive people and the professional management class was emphasized. One was forced out of work, the other didn't miss one paycheque. And, their assets appreciated. April 9, 2024

Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, says that the Canadian economy is falling behind the US. The reason is the Trudeau government's crazy climate change policies. Carbon Tax and the federal government's obstuctive measures are not only leading to a crippled Canadian economy, a weaker and weaker Canadian dollar but to a generational demise for the party's responsible. He predicts the Liberals and NDP will be banished from Canadian politics for more than just a while.

Here's a short video on Maple Syrup production. I show the traditional method and a commercial set up. Thanks to Godfrey and Jean Tyler of Waverly Brook Farms. https://www.ontariomaple.com/vendor/waverly-brook-farm/ This is by no means a study of maple syrup but I hope there's information that people enjoy. Please like and share my videos and follow my channel. My videos are getting better!! March 14, 2024

I claim no responsiblity. This video is from the geniuses at https://www.dilleymemeteam.com/ Visit their site and give some love!! D.A. Willis, Wade and Bradley are perfect illustrations of affirmative responsible for corrupt officials.

Everyday we're told little lies. And, everyone of us has the information or instinct to recognize these little lies. Most of it we learned in public school. But few, for some reason, choose to notice. The little lies add up to big lies. It's conditioning. You become so accustom to the lies that you succumb. Pay attention!

Killin' time.

Sorry, had to rant.

Remember the day you were surprised I had crossed the lake on my snowmobile? That was only 3 days ago! I wouldn't drive a car on it today, but I can say the freezeup is complete. Here again is that paper on lake ice. It is a very interesting read: http://lakeice.squarespace.com/ice-formation/;jsessionid=B898F07D6ED54D0CAC31C2AE3FF85716.v5-web004 Please follow or check back. New project coming soon. For L:ake Simcoe check the Blue Ice Report:

Progress! After stumbling around with the measuring stick a bit (I must have had it tipped back in the first measurement) I did determine that we got another 1/2 clear ice added to the bottom. The slush is freezing into another layer of white ice on top of the last slush. In the upcoming even colder nights that should freeze through and bond with the frozen slush which is already on top of the clear ice. I wouldn't be surprised to see the club's orange trail stakes on the lake by the week end!

The clear ice grew 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch over the last 24 hrs thanks to colder temperatures. It's going to be even colder right through until late Saturday. The nights will be in the low minus teens and some nights minus twenties. Once the slush freezes we should average a 1/2 inch per night. At this rate I'd expect the club would be ready to start staking lakes. Keep and eye on the Blue Ice Report! He's was reporting thin layers on Lake Simcoe this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44sjoHc3hdU

So, we're getting very close to winter freeze up. The temperature is plummeting. Tonight it will get as low as -13 C. The daytime high tomorrow is -10 C. -16 C tomorrow night and -18 C Tuesday night should rapidly improve the situation.

As you can see we got about a foot (30 cm) of snow. It's the packie snowman making kind. The kind you can make awesome snow forts with tunnels. I doubt I'll be involved in that. The new snow is weighing the ice sheet. I show a example of a slush pool. Often what looks to be nice dry white snow can be hiding a pool of slush just under the surface. Fortunately modern sleds don't bog down and get stuck like their forebearers did. Colder days and nights are in the forecast! Here's an ice thickness chart (Keep in mind that we have about 5 1/2 inches of clear ice): https://www.canadianyachting.ca/images/stories/ice-thickness-chart.jpg

Things are progressing. The clear ice grew by 1/4 and the softer upper layer and rainwater are stiffening. The temps should stay below freezing enough to create more clear ice, but as the snow accumulates the insulating effect will slow ice growth. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Everyday is different from the last. Here's that paper on ice formation: http://lakeice.squarespace.com/ice-formation/

After the snow/rain event, temperatures dropped in the late afternoon and settled around -6 C. That was enough to put a cap of about 1 1/2 inches on the slush water mix that had pooled on top of our 5 inches of clear ice. The upcoming cold is welcome as that layer of frozen slush will insulate the clear ice below. And, 20-30 cms of snow on Friday night will only create more insulation. Despite this, it should be cold enough to gain more clear ice each day for at least the next week or so.

It snowed. It rained. We got water, slush and no new ice. It's turning cold this afternoon and the forecast calls for consitently cold weather for the next couple weeks.

Very wintery weather! The ice grew 1/4 inch to 5 1/2 inches. I thought I'd do about 5 episodes, there'd be 8-10 inches of clear ice by now and I could move on to something else. I'm really curious what the lake will be like tomorrow afternoon after another 15 cm's of snow and then rain showers.

I'd say the ice grew 1/4 inch over the last 24 hrs. I expect the same tonight but then it's going to warm up tomorrow and snow Tuesday and Wednesday with accumulation between 15 and 30 cms. I saw a man walk across the lake and heard a couple sleds on the lake briefly as I was walking back.

Negligible ice growth overnight. The change to tomorrow's video should be pretty drastic if it starts to snow in the morning. The lake will slush up under the weight and then, from Friday onward there's colder temperatures forecast with lots of snow. I'm pretty certain that the club (HCSA) will be able to stake Head Lake and open some trails especially the B103 rail line, shortly after next weekend. This video features Turd Island. May it soon regain its regal stature!!

Progress! The ice grew 1/2 inch overnight to 5 inches at the site of my test holes. It's about 8 feet deep. There is a current in the lake so that thickness won't be uniform. We'll get a couple more days of ice increase and then it's going to warm up to snow on Tuesday. With the snow that's coming, the snowmobile club may start grooming the rail line B103 by next weekend.

Very disappointed to get almost no ice growth. It wasn't as cold as the forecast called for and the snow was a total surprise. According to some charts I found. we should be getting 1/2 inch of ice at these temperatures. We'll see what's there tomorrow. And, we'll see if anyone is out there fishing.

A long shot look out at the big lake. Still open.
