TransAlta urged to shut down wind farm during bat migration season

A major conservation group is calling on TransAlta Corp. to periodically turn off turbines at its Wolfe Island wind farm in Ontario to cut down on the number of birds and bats killed by the machines.

Nature Canada says the project’s 86 turbines are among the most destructive of wildlife in North America. The organization argues TransAlta should shut down parts of the wind farm – one of the biggest in the country – during high-risk periods in the late summer and early fall, when swallows congregate in the region and bats migrate.

In post-revolution Egypt Islamists threaten to outmanoeuvre secularists, evoking Iran in 1979

Patrick Martin writes:

There was a moment Friday in the Egyptian capital when the people’s vaunted uprising brought to mind Tehran in 1979: Just when the left-wing secularists thought they had ousted the Shah, the Islamists ousted them.

Hundreds of thousands of ultra-religious Islamists packed this capital’s central Tahrir Square in an unprecedented show of support for the creation of an Islamic republic, rather than the planned unity demonstration in collaboration with secularists. In doing so, they drove a stake through the heart of a united revolutionary movement that had brought together Egyptian Islamists and secularists, Muslims and Christians, and shared the goal of democratic elections and the punishment of the corrupt regime of Hosni Mubarak.

The new leader of the federal NDP was a card-carrying member of the Bloc Québécois for five years and quit the sovereigntist party only last January, one month before she announced plans to run as a key member of Jack Layton’s team in Quebec, documents show.

Nycole Turmel was chosen last week to lead the Official Opposition during Mr. Layton’s absence, and revelations about her long-standing sovereigntist ties are expected to fuel concerns in federalist circles about her commitment to national unity.

The image above is the letter, sent on Jan. 19, which translates to: “Enclosed is my Bloc Québécois membership card, which I wish to cancel. I wish to state that my request has nothing to do with the party’s policies, I am doing this for personal reasons.”

You probably remember the Apple store shenanigans discovered recently, but this kind of intellectual property hijacking cuts right to the core of what makes it risky to do business in China.

How to renounce a U.S. citizenship

After 70-plus years of fighting for truth, justice and the American way, Superman is giving up his U.S. passport.

Tired of being tarred as a puppet of U.S. policy, the iconic comic-book hero said he would cut his ties, declaring in a recent issue that “the world’s too small, too connected.”

But it’s a lot harder and more expensive than the man of steel probably imagines… the image above shows steps 4 through 6 of the process (click here to see the rest of the graphic, nine steps in all) and Barrie McKenna’s accompanying story is certainly eye-opening… it appears as though the U.S. takes renouncing citizenship pretty seriously.
