Week Links 5

Week Links is a collection of some of my favourite links from around the web that I stumbled upon during the past week. You may already be familiar with some of them, but I think they’re worth checking out if you haven’t already.

Bill C-30

The more we learn about Bill C-30, the more terrifying it becomes. Now, not only does it give law enforcement complete access to anything you do, send, or receive online, it also gives MPs the ability to grant anyone they see fit the same rights, as well as to copy and retransmit anything of yours they feel like! This is a bill that needs to be stopped. If you live in Canada, take the time to contact your MP.

The Heartland Institute Leak

Capture

Damaging documents, allegedly from the Heartland Institute, were leaked online, revealing the anti-global warming propaganda organization's backers and strategies. Heartland has of course denied their validity, but in the same release admits documents were stolen, that they haven’t had time to read the released documents, and apologizes to its backers who were named. While the documents may or may not be fake, anything that helps to expose the double talk this organization routinely uses is a good thing.

Metal Cells

The article does a much better job explaining it than I could, so follow the link and read it. In essence, scientists believe they have created cells which can replicate and evolve that is non-carbon based for the first time. Very cool.

That’s it for this week. I’ll have another post tomorrow with my predictions for this year’s Oscars.

Sleep well,
