Flin Flon...is that really a place ?
It is. Named after the main character in an old paperback sci-fi novel read by the town's founder.
$1:
The town's name is taken from the lead character in a paperback novel, The Sunless City by J. E. Preston Muddock. Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin piloted a submarine through a bottomless lake where he passed into a strange underground world through a hole lined with gold. A copy of the book was allegedly found and read by prospector Tom Creighton.

No....we're two hours north west of Flin Flon. last winter was the coldest in ages for me because I went from +28C to -25 C in 36 hours. Hydro bill was ridiculous for a couple of months and I was in SW Manitoba.....It's only 3C out right now and our furnace has been ripped apart, so it's a might chilly. I sort of miss the low to mid 40 degree humidexes of mid September right now
Ouch! That must have been a shock. Flin Flon? Is that near Creighton?
just down the street from toronta, tell Joe I said "Hi".

Flin Flon denier
Well, for one thing the guy's name was Flintabbatey Flonatin, not Flin Flon and he lived in a Sunless City under the lake. Now anyone who knows anything knows that a sunless city under a lake would quickly become too cold to live in as bottom temperatures quickly fell below 4 C. Then his name would have to be Flintabbatey Frozentin, not Flonatin. I have all the charts and data somewhere but can't seem to find them. You will have to rely on my word, as one of the leading experts on the THEORY OF ALL KNOWLEDGE, so there!

EU policy on climate change is right even if science was wrong, says commissioner
Regardless of whether or not scientists are wrong on global warming, the European Union is pursuing the correct energy policies even if they lead to higher prices, Europe’s climate commissioner has said.
Connie Hedegaard's comments come as the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is expected to admit that previous scientific predictions for global warming and the effects of carbon emissions have been proved to be inaccurate

So now they will use any reason they can to justify the meddling in the market,
the fear mongering, and of course all the tax hikes.

They're right even if they're wrong.
