Macdonald, called the Senate a place of "sober second thought." (http://www.parl.gc.ca/About/Senate/FAQJuniorVersion/brochure-e.htm)In ironic contrast, the current Senate, as reshaped by Harper, is no longer performing this constitutional function. (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/senators-to-vote-on-conservatives-union-bill-despite-error-in-legislation/article22102064/)The Senate had earlier sent this error-ridden Bill back to the House of Commons the first time it was presented. Sent back to them by the Conservative majority a second time with continuing errors, the Harper-appointed Senate majority passed it and later, for the first time, legislated limited debate in the Senate on certain bills. He errs, ironically, because he has altered the Senate from the place of "sober second thought" of Sir John A. Macdonald to an extension of the will of the prime minister of the day.

This Local reporter turned up the volume to hear Maureen and Colin Dodd request a song to go with the theme ‘breaking up with January.’ Here is their travel story.

She will perform her composition, Controlled Burn, alongside the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal at Carnegie Hall — a century-old concert hall, considered one of America's most prestigious. What came first: finding out that you had this Carnegie Hall gig or the commissioned composition? We signed that contract, and about a week later, they're like, "Hey, we just programmed it for Carnegie Hall." I hadn't even written a note when I found out it was going to go to Carnegie Hall, so there was some pressure. Carnegie Hall was one of those things that was unattainable, something I didn't even put on my bucket list because I didn't think I could get there.

The increase in zombie fires in the north may be the result of rising temperaturesA recent study highlights the possibility of "zombie fires" spreading to northern regions such as Alaska and Canada due to rising temperatures. Zombie fires originate in boreal forests, where flames feed on peat (organic material transformed into coal) deep in the soil. Although extreme cold and heavy snow eventually prevent most fires, the right conditions can create fires that do not go out, like zombie fires, as they remain fueled in the soil and survive on the oxygen available under the snow. Zombie fires and high temperaturesScholten's team found that zombie fires were, predictably, more widespread after hotter summers that saw large fires occur over large areas. This loop of emissions and warming could make more zombie fires more likely, creating a cycle that causes more emissions, and so on.

The online used car retailer, Carvana, will open its newest vehicle vending machine off Interstate 8 in Mission Valley on Wednesday. Unlike a traditional used car dealership, customers order a car online and either have it delivered or they can pick it up via the novelty machine (complete with a giant coin). Additionally, there was an added demand for used cars as the supply of new cars was constrained by chip shortages and delayed availability for parts. During the fourth quarter of 2023, San Diego’s used car market declined about 3.5 percent year over year, according to data from the New Car Dealers Association of San Diego County.
