Ha, ha! The Premier of Albert planned to use H-Bomb to melt the oilsands:

Alberta’s brush with the H-bomb
​
The headline on the Toronto Star story was tantalizing: “Will H-bomb Solve Riddle of Tar Sands?” It was a serious question, posed in December 1958. The writer of the article, the Star’s George Noordhof, wondered if Canada’s first hydrogen bomb explosion would “free the oil from the athabasca tar sands of Alberta?”

...


Natland suggested that Richfield explode underground a nine-kiloton atomic warhead (a “baby nuclear bomb,” as Alberta’s then premier, Ernest Manning, called it) to test his hypothesis. His theory was that the heat from the explosion would melt the sands and release liquid hydrocarbons with little risk to the atmosphere above. The molten sands would solidify into a huge glass bubble, trapping most of the radiation inside. The liquefied oil would then flow into the cavity caused by the explosion, and the oil companies would pump it out just like they did with conventional well drilling. If the experiment was successful, Natland added, the industry would have a proven scientific way to “create an oilfield on demand.”Alberta oil industry officials and politicians embraced the nuclear proposal with enthusiasm. A former lawyer for Imperial Oil, Gerry Burden, recalls that one of his Calgary colleagues, a researcher named Jim Young, had been talking for some years about using nuclear power in the same way. Premier Manning, whose Social Credit administration had been actively seeking bids from oil companies to build the first commercial separation plant in the athabasca region, said the proposal “makes an awful lot of sense.”

The threat of the Soviet Union to retaliate against a nuclear explosion helped put this dumb idea to rest. The Reds did Canada a favor for sure!!!!

Your facial bone structure has a big influence in how people see you

For better or worse, viewers then tend to make snap judgments about someone’s personality or character from a single shot.

We can alter our facial features in ways that make us look more trustworthy, but don't have the same ability to appear more competent. A face resembling a happy expression, with upturned eyebrows and upward curving mouth, is likely to be seen as trustworthy while one resembling an angry expression, with downturned eyebrows, is likely to be seen as untrustworthy. However, competence judgments are based on facial structure, a trait that cannot be altered, with wider faces seen as more competent.

Jayalakshmi sing Teri Meri Meri Teri Prem Kahani

 
Original singer of Teri Meri Shreya Ghoshal

 
Teri Meri song is from the movie Bodyguard where Kareena Kapoor plays a rich college girl of a powerful politician who has lots of enemies an Indian 'Kennedy' so to speak. Salman Khan (nearly 50) but playing a younger man is the bodyguard. She is annoyed with him and plays a fake love game on him as 'Chaya' who constantly calls him till finally he saves her life. She now realizes his duties are serious and not a game. Her friend, Maya, advises her to break the game but she has actually fallen in love with him and this is the planned break up she goes through.

Kareena as Divya, daughter of a powerful politician, saves 'Lovely' Singh name of Salman Khan in the movie.


Her friend, Maya, marries 'Lovely' and has a son with him thus betraying her friendship with Divya.

It is touching love story with a surprise ending like in 'Love Affair' with Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne.

Note: Kareena Kapoor is the grand daughter of legend Raj Kapoor so she is best suited for this role playing the daughter of a prominent figure as she is one herself.

We have seen bashings against Communist leaders such as Stalin for his purges which could be the result of Hitler whose spies sent letters implicating Russian generals of conspiracies especially General Zhukov. Mao's disastrous agricultural communes that failed resulted in millions dying of starvation.

John Kerry said democracy means the right to be stupid.

Well western politicians have done stupid things.

1. Former US president George W. Bush caused the 2007 recession and started the regime change program that Obama seemed to follow that resulted in massive refugees flowing to Europe.

2. Alberta Premier Ernest Manning planned to use an H-bomb to melt the oilsands. Ha,ha,ha!

3. Canadian Prime Minister Diefenbaker destroyed the Canadian aerospace industry by cancelling the Avro Arrow and chopping all the prototype models. Avro Arrow was the best state-of-the -art fighter plane that flew maybe at Mach 1 or 2. France and Germany were interested in buying it.

A secretary, a very nice lady, in our company worked at the Downsview company that built the Avro. It was a crown corporation and she told there a small airport at that site to test the planes.
