   Unfortunately there has been a lot of Video coverage of Tweed   
   Ontario in recent days.   
      
   On thing that struck me about the exterior shots in the coverage   
   was how much bare ground and grass there was in most shots.   
      
   Coverage of the accused's neighbourhood showed no snow, in an open   
   treeless area.   
      
   Is that normal for Southern Ontario in the 1st week of February?   
      
   My wife went on a school related Summer trip to Ontario in the   
   1960s and remembers seeing ice floating in lakes in late June.   
      
   That was about the same time the Experimental Ice Ramming Tanker   
   Manhattan kept getting stuck in 20 meter ice ridges in 1969/Sep.   
      
   The USCG Ice Breaker Staten Island sent along as an escort had   
   engine trouble and couldn't even free itself from the heavy   
   pressure ridges. The CCGs John A. MacDonald which went along as   
   an uninvited and unwelcome escort saved the Manhattan from being   
   stuck all winter.   
      
   Manhattan limped into port on the Alaska North Shore with holes   
   in the outer hull big enough to drive a freight truck through.   
      
   It would have had no trouble navigating McClure-Parry any of the   
   past 3 Septembers. McClure - Parry was ice free in 2007 and 2008   
   September and got down to 50% coverage with thin, rotten, ice   
   in 2009 September.   
      
   What a change in 40 years. And still the denial goes on.

   And still the denial goes on. Junk Science:= A term used by paid industry   
   PR Spin Doctors and front men. Translation: We want to hear junk that   
   sounds like science (but isn't) and which says our bosses can carry on   
   making gigabucks the same old way.
