    HEALTH CARE - User fees

    With our healthcare system being in a bad state of disarray to the point where people are waiting months for certain procedures and people in some areas are even finding it next to impossible to have their own family doctor, I think something fairly unorhtodox has to be done. I suggest that for...

    Bill Vanderzalm is taking charge in fighting the heinous H.S.T. (which will kill the real estate industry and possibly the restaurant industry) 20 years ago it was popular to hate Bill (much to do with his outspoken manner and religious beliefs) What do people think of Bill today? I met him...

    Anti virus programs

    I just got to thinking after having a lot of "infections" removed from my computer, if these anti virus outfits aren't partly responsible. Most of them have the "free" version and then the enhanced version they charge the big bucks for. It wouldn't surprise me if you subscribe to the "free"...

    Aerosol air fresheners.

    Does anyone have any real knowledge about these air fresheners that some women have a mania about squirting all over the house? Personally I can't stand the bloody compressed nasal sensation I get from breathing this crap. If there was a really bad smell (like a fart) wouldn't opening a window...

    Information on Haiti

    I was just googling Haiti trying to get more information. All the news on C.N.N. (that I've seen so far) is centred on Port Au Prince. When I checked the geography, Haiti has four other cities in excess of 100,000- two of them in the 400,000 range and several other smaller cities. Were these...

    More Greed to hit the Olympics

    Some people have more guts than a slaughterhouse. Just heard on the news that restaurants in Vancouver during the Olympics will be charging a minimum of 18% gratuity for tables of 6 or more diners. Where do these people come from with all these balls? Tips are supposed to be a voluntary show...

    Prison for inside trader

    Prison for inside trader It's good that these bastards are finally being recognized as criminals, but 39 years would have been a more appropriate sentence (In my humble opinion)- the guy was university educated should have known better BUT there's that old "book learning" again. Can screw a...

    Crowsnest Pass- what can we learn?

    Time for a change from a lot of depressing threads (those who want to wallow in them can continue). I've travelled through the Crowsnest Pass many times, often stopping overnight at the campsite at Bellevue- very interesting area except I hate the wind. Would like to learn more.

    Life on death row, kind of a cake walk.

    I was under the impression that life on death row (even in the U.S.) was pretty grim. I just checked into how Scott Peterson is doing these days and much to my chagrin, I find he's having a better life than many of our seniors and street people. Check out the following site...

    Do these latest flying regulations make sense?

    So one nut case from the middle east figures he's going to blow up a plane on entry into Detroit. Would these new regulations guarantee that another person with the same idea will be stopped? Does the whole idea make sense or is it just a case of bolting the barn door after the horse has left?
