    Let me get this straight. You say you support nuclear power to combat global warming. Yet no new plants have been built for 30 years. You point to one upgrade over that time period. It's akin to throwing one cup of water on a house fire. You're not fighting global warming. Nope. You're only about being a green energy snob.

      So after that refurbishment are there any more nuclear power plants in Canada than there were before? And how long was it off line during that "refurishment?" BTW we call that a required nuclear safety inspection.

        It seems pretty smart to me. By banning forest use, you prevent people from starting fires.

          When I'm not fixing photo copiers, I'm out building nuclear power plants. My ole pappy always said it's good to have a hobby.
          You're not providing an argument. Nope, you're just showing you're inability to debate.

            You leftists really are nuts. Banning people from walking in the woods or fishing is going to stop fires. That's as dumb as California banning people from walking on the beach because of Covid. You guys sure love authoritarians.

              .... yes, there is an extreme fire hazard because of little rain in the weather forecast.

              People can walk in the woods on cleared trails but no smoking along the way.

              "You guys sure love authoritarians". Sure sounds like President Trump!

                I think we can all agree that the liberal plan hasn't led to any cooling of the earth and don't expect any results no matter what promises are made.

                  A couple of problems with that attitude:
                  1. It is not going to prevent lighting strikes
                  2. It will be completely ignored by an arsonist.

                    Sounds akin to the liberal plan to social distance. Stupid.

                      I live in Nova Scotia and will happily obey with the forest ban.

                      Bans have happened many times in the past and will happen many times in the future.

                      Two years ago in Nova Scotia, many homes were destroyed near the provincial capitol, Halifax, becuase of wildfires.

                        ... I think we can all agree that the Republican plan has accelerated the heating up of the earth. No promises needed.

                          One point. This has nothing to do with my point
