re: Books: Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the future of a Continent (1 of 3)

One-sided, probably. But the other side of the argument is simply: Oil is the economic engine of Alberta (and Canada to an extent), and our lavish lifestyles depend on the extraction of our oil (and degradation of our planet).

Tar sand development is only justified by the economic argument. I haven't heard a valid argument that doesn't simply dumb-down to the simple argument of economy vs. environment.

Thankfully crude oil is sitting around $50 right now which will deter the oil companies from developing (and devastating) even further.

re: Books: At Vimy Ridge

Definitely a turning point in Canada's contribution to the world. Only 25 years later, Canada would see herself back not far from Vimy Ridge on August 19th, 1942 in the Dieppe raid where about 1,000 Canadians were killed and a total of over 3000 casualties.

Then they returned again, but this time further south in Normandy on June 6, 1944 in Operation Overlord where they landed on Juno Beach.

Canada has some amazing history in Europe; I'm definitely looking forward to touring the battle sites some day.

re: Second thoughts on Google's Chrome browser

Thanks for the link and info John. What seems pretty consistent is that IE7 is the lowest performer followed by IE8B2. Hopefully Microsoft rises to the js performance challenge!

Wait! Not so fast! :)

How about more balanced set of tests? And.. let's include Firefox 3.1 alpha:
