Only a couple years back, I viewed documentaries on some third world country's struggle to keep it's citizens free of basic infections and their problems with sanitary practices. Indifference, poverty,corruption and a self feeding class systems that do not share wealth seems to be a common...

Trudeau obediently behaved himself and "went back to his room" figuratively when he heard the Pfizer news that they will renege on their business deal to Canada to have the vaccines sent to us in time as agreed. They will fill the order for another country instead. He then shrugged his...

My old 386 computer tower still has a pulse! I found the DOS 6.2 diskettes as well, and on my hard drive I found the patch files for it. I started it up yesterday since 2004 and it fired up. Before that I think it was the late 90's I started it. I have 2 monitors for it also. I expected a dead...

Any truth to the news that some children's toy makeup kits may contain asbestos? Found that on Yahoo news. If so hope the Canadian government is already on it so I can alert my DILs.

Nothing new. The US has been well ahead in clinical cancer cures using phenomenal new CARS T-Cell treatment for the past 10 years. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/research/car-t-cells On TV: GEOHD "Breakthrough" aired 20 Oct 2017 So you would think that Canadian CDC and...

I'm tired of hearing the excuse for gas prices. We have our own reserves, so why aren't we tapping into that for the difference while Texas rebuilds. Remember all the refineries around the oil sands years ago? well that's for gas production too. Start shutting valves to the trading partners...

Have you noticed an upswing of rural septic system tank pumping service advertising in Ontario, and misinformation by municipalities regards to dangers imposed byseptic systems?. Whats really going on. They push for having tanks emptied more often. Even municipal governments are tempted to...

People, we are not dicussing a boring free trade issue, our people ARE HURTING NOW. It calls for action immediately, and not handled in a casual timeframe. We need emergency measures, and the federal government needs to step in. I'd use the standard methods used when our citizens are...

This is basically a rant on commercials, but some are dangerous and send the wrong message. First is the commercial where the cute puppy is being trained by the little boy. Supposed to be harmless, and we initially come away with the "awwwww- shucks would you look at this" response. The...

The government is on the attack of families in Canada who heat their homes with wood. The announcement is made in an attitude that implies they are criminals, a paria group. On the face of it, we can say why not implement it.? It's a primitive method of heating, so why not ban it?. Already, when...

Yes, yet another CT irritant. Looking for a product on CT's web site is a real pain. The culprit is the dreaded "Enter Store Location"(ESL) window. You would think it would go away after you were nose led into it's labrinth. The session doesn't retain the information you give it, but enters an...

The St. Raphael Ruin campaign doesn't appear to be winding down soon. I'm reminded of the Laval toll overpass scandal. It was contracted on the understanding that the travellers would toss a quarter in the bag at the toll booth on crossing, and in a few years the bridge would be paid...

In my 70 years I have seen this nation become a service nation. I feel it's lack of manufacturing is it's downfall. All Canada's financial problems can be attributed to a central cause, the lack of jobs. I recall that every family had disposable income. Dance halls were everywhere, and after...

Well that's what it looks like to me. Either Harper didn't do his homework, or he's really super competant. Some sources say the whole thing about oil prices falling is really a ploy by the US to get even with Russia by manipulating their economy. The thing is when Obama throws sh%$ at the fan...

So Canada, now down to a service country wwhen it sold off to Asia it's MFG base, is towing the bankrupt US line once more. Like it needs to throw inter-trade down the drain and start muscle flexing other nations. We are barely grovelling as it is trying to keep people employed at McDo,Wendys...

Hi everyone. Can't remember her name. For our class topic, and heros, there was a commemorative stamp made for a lady, (a member of parliament I think) who visited a jail and was so appalled she went to parliament to make changes to the prison system. Thanks for the help.

From: U.S. targets al-Qaeda with fatal drone strikes in Yemen amid fears of potential terrorist attacks | National Post "Three U.S. drone strikes killed a total of 12 suspected al-Qaeda terrorists Thursday......." My interest is what the Canadian government has to say about this...

A program on TV brought to light the devastation of this insect to the conifers of BC. Global warming as given this beetle and edge, since the colder temperatures formed a limitation on it's ability to reproduce in numbers that would be devastating to the planet. The program presented a fly...

I turned on the TV today to see if what I heard about the Pope resigning was true. The resistance too much for the editors of CBC, a live picture of the Pope in the background was overlain by front page images of headlines about pedophilia in the Church, while some commentary was...

Last year we received notice our outside oil tank needs to be replaced. It's a good thing we had a year's grace since much of the "lid from the garbage can" has come off to reveal some truths about what appears to be, has a furnace tech friend describes has, a scam. Forced to confront the...
