Funny, I thought the gas companies already put ethanol in the fuel.

Sounds like Harper is telling the oil companies to do what they are already doing.

It would actually be an interesting exercise today, just to see how strong the monarchists still are, LOL!

It seems like a no-brainer to do it, and easy enough to do to get political points for the politicos.

I’ve read about the negative aspects of ethanol production before. I don’t have a strong position one way or the other about it, but I tend to think we should develop other alternatives before getting too hooked on the ethanol connection.

Exactly, C.F. It’s a symbolic position that could easily be replaced with a largely ceremonial Head of State of our own. The same person could even hold the the new post the next day, if necessary. Ms Jean could be Governor General the day before and whatever we decided to call the position the next day. (The new title could just be Head of State for all I care).

Suffice it to say that corn-made ethanol breaks engines.

That should motivate consumers to (1) oppose ethanol and (2) get informed.

Prayer could actually be seen as a selfish act. It makes the person praying feel better.

Mostly because they think they’re making other people think they’re doing something…
