old movies on my tv

I love spending evenings at home watching old movies. We have the Turner Classic Movies channel for a trial period on our digital cable package. I’m growing ever fonder of it. I hope I can get it when we get back to Nova Scotia.

Before I settled in on the old movie channel, I caught a bit of the coverage of todays NDP convention on CPAC. Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers, delivered a speach to the convention delegates about climate change in general and Canada’s failure to commit to the Kyoto Protocol emission targets in specific. I can’t fathom the audacity of the Conservative Party to try and pull that shit on the Canadian public and expect to get away with it. There is no doubt a very strong western base of support for dismantling these international agreements but I just can’t see Upper Canada and Maritime support forthcoming.
