Whose Fault are the Faults?
Canada Free Press (2023), and
Principia Scientific Intl. (2023), submitted
Seismic recording
Really, that's a serious question. And, moreover, if a fault-line snaps, who's to blame and or compensate for any consequences of such faulting faults?

A Second Coming?
Canada Free Press (2022)
Old type typewriter
Ever seen one of those machines as in the pic nearby?
If so, you either were visiting a museum - or are born a long time ago. Actually, I typed many pages, including my scientific theses on a similar device.
The "Man in the Moon"
Canada Free Press (2022), and
Principia Scientific Intl. (2022)
Chilkoot Pass climb, 1898 (Klondike Gold Rush)
NASA's new Artemis-1 Moon rocket is certainly impressive but it's just thought of as a stepping stone to a futuristic landing of astronauts (again) on the Moon and, in the more distant future, on Planet Mars.

I'll confess, my Dearest, Wilhemina, and I slept in this morning - blame it on the great party last night at our neighbours in the woods of Ontario.
We live in "Denmark" now
... in order to not run afoul of those local [COVID] edicts, we used a simple solution: renamed our abode "Denmark." As you may have heard already, Denmark
just did away with all previous restrictions of the kind.
OPEN LETTER TO: Minister F. Tassi
Canada Free Press (2022)
Tassi's calendar cover-photo
Dear Minister Tassi, Thank you for your calendar with "Canadian Wildlife" photos.
Already, the picture on the front cover, two "Whitetail deer", is a sub-species that's only found in the southern U.S. states -- and NOT in Canada...
What a sad example of ministerial responsibility and leadership.
Suppressing Your Immune System

Principia Scientific Intl. [submitted] (2022)
Artistic rendition
From the initial "flattening of the curve" idea to, at first 60%, by now nearly 85+% of double/triple vaxxed people, the hospital wards are now claimed to be getting overrun by such "immuno-compromised" patients. Why?

We Need Answers To These Questions, Minister Elliott
Canada Free Press (2021), and

Getting a jab
Dear Minister Elliott,
Many of Ontario’s citizens are increasingly anxious about the — apparently never-ending restrictions — of their former activities and undertakings to
earn a living. No doubt, you are aware of such strains on our lives — all due to the government’s COVID-19 (plus “variants’) restrictions.
Helium — from Abundance to Scarcity
Canada Free Press (2021), and
Principia Scientific Intl. (2021)
A blimp
Helium is not something that can be easily "mined", even as a byproduct of other mining operations (like for iron, copper, and other metals and Earth's resource
kinds of deposits). In fact, it's mostly a "byproduct" of natural gas that requires special processing technology and energy-consuming conditions.
A National Emergency
Canada Free Press (2021), and
Principia Scientific Intl. (2021)
corona virus warning sign
COVID restrictions are rapidly falling by the way-side, except for, can you imagine, the operations of STRIP-JOINTS.
I know it's hard to believe-but true nonetheless.
Many folks have been waiting patiently, 15 months or so for such novel freedoms. You can soon get a (legal) haircut (by appointment only), or get your toe nails clipped before they
approach some new Guinness Book-of-Records size-all welcome manifestations of "post-pandemic" normalcy of life.
OPEN LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER
Undeniable fact: "Carbon Dioxide" is NOT a "pollutant" but a Giver of Life
Canada Free Press (2021) [abbreviated vs.], and
Ice Age Now (2021), and
Principia Scientific Intl. (2021)
Rt. Hon. J. Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
Undisputed Scientific Facts:
• Without that CO2 in the atmosphere, all life on Earth would cease to exist!
• Without that CO2 in the atmosphere, no oxygen would be produced; CO2 is/has been the sole source of molecular oxygen (that we breathe in with each breath)!
• Without the steady supply of CO2 from the thousands of active volcanoes and fumaroles, life on Earth would have already come to a standstill.
• Without that CO2 in the atmosphere, oceans and (most) fresh waters would become “acidified.”
• Without the use of carbon-type resources (like coal, oil, and natural gas), the world cannot continue.
• Without continued reliance on carbon-energy, much of Canada’s population would simply freeze to death in the next few winters.

Oddly enough, "cases" of the common flu appear to have practically vanished with the rise of COVID-19 "cases."
More Evidence — of Water on Mars

Speed Bump cartoon, litter on Mars
As some of my valued Dear Readers may have become accustomed, every once in a while I'll have some (mostly irreverent) posts on that Martian thing. What made me chuckle today was the cartoon of the series on "Speed Bump(s)" by cartoonist Dave Coverly.

The Meaningless Meaning of 'COVID Cases'
Canada Free Press (2020), and
Ice Age Now (2020), and
Principia Scientific Intl. (2021)
COVID-19
What differentiates the "common flu" from "COVID-19"?
Most interesting, at least in my mind is that "evidence of pneumonia" — by the U.S. CDC's Clinical Criteria this definition alone — now qualifies as a clinical evidence of COVID-19 "infection."

The Hagia Sophia was the first major Christian church in Asia Minor. Its visible foundations and other stone relics date back to the third and fourth century, well before the arrival of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed (570-632).
