I am not going to write a full in-depth article this time, it’s more a reflection of where much of Canada stands in regards to the hazards and or benefits it is to be a Canadian, this also applies to most provinces as well. Has anyone noticed that about 90% of all decisions are made based on the best interests of those living in the smallest physical portions of Canada or our provinces? Even if you’re a member

Am I mad? Damn rights I am, and I bet a lot of you are too! I have had a couple of days to brew over what happened and here is my take on the results. How many of you woke up the day after the election was over with an election hangover, which took all the wind out of your sails and left you wondering just how our environment lost to corporate greed? I cannot stress in words that are too strong just how stupid the

This is just a quick note to those of you asking where we went. Over the past few months I have been rebuilding another website (also based on social injustice) that has eaten up most of my online time. Now we are getting into summer, and we still have not completed our other project.   Rest assured we will be back with lots to say this coming fall. If you live in British Columbia, please be sure you voted, an

We are only too aware of how Jesus was exploited and continues to be exploited every Christmas so that some people get rich, while others struggle to buy gifts their children expect because the media has set them up with these expectations. We are also bitterly aware of how religion is being exploited for financial gain, for sexual favor, for power and to hide abuse against others. Does that make Jesus or God bad

How often have you heard of someone who lost their password in email, social media or the many other accounts that use a password? Lost, well that’s not really the problem were dealing with here, stolen passwords however are a significant problem for many people, so lets deal with it.     We all do our best to keep people away from our passwords but that’s not always possible. Case in point, this

There are times when an image speaks for itself better than any long drawn out commentary. So we created a special section for them called the Speaking Images Library.     From Small Pox to Isa Virus, it’s amazing what First Nations have had to endure, and it’s still far from over.     JLS ……For What It’s Worth

I am sure you all have heard about the great Canadian diamonds, many of you today proudly wear a De Beers diamond on your wedding finger right? Think about it, where do diamonds come from? Most people would mentally connect diamonds with Africa, and with a bit more thought visualize black men, women and children working as slaves for whom? [i] Think about the contrast, rich white men in suits and ties in plush con

Well you must have just about everything electronic turned off not to know there is a leadership campaign going on by the Federal Liberals, but then again there is also one for Ontario’s provincial Liberals. I am a bit perplexed on one Liberal issue, namely are they on the same page as the provincial Liberals? One can’t but help ask because of British Columbia, they have Liberals there, and by God if they were

Smokers know it, non-smokers know it, people who care know it, and people who don’t care know it. Know what? People know that the government is collecting massive truckloads of cash from those citizens who are addicts. They are taking advantage of people’s addiction, for profit. You would think that people who cry out for cash for the Canadian Cancer Society would have suggested that the taxes collected on cig

OK its tax time again, and Revenue Canada thinks that everyone old enough to vote has also been gifted with the knowhow of a certified accountant. They expect everyone in Canada to be capable of understanding exactly what they can or cannot do in regards to income tax. They keep saying over and over again, it’s simple, horse shit it’s not simple, and every year its gets more and more complicated so your forcin

Are you one of those people who read articles online, then feel compelled to comment, only to discover the people posting there look like they are stupid enough to be comic book characters from the Stone Age? Well you’re not alone, today I decided to dedicate a piece just for them, and hey, who knows we might actually educate a few white racist dummies in the process. Oh oh, I did say white? That’s discriminati

Every now and then you read an article and you think, wow, this applies here in Canada as well, that’s what happened to me when I read the article written by Michael Moore titled Those Who Say “I Support the Troops” Should Just Stop, Out of Respect for the Troops. So please forgive me Michael for putting a Canadian twist on an all too familiar problem. Like Michael I am sick of hearing people claim th

Like many of you out there I have a lot of concerns about the way Harper pretends he is the sole owner of Canada, and his disgraceful attitude that we are at his loyal subjects, as though he earned the right to be the King of the Hill, when reality shows that in the history of Canada, there is no record of any party that cheated and deceived the public as badly as Harper’s Conservatives. Far more disgraceful is

A snapshot of Smithers in 1989   Like most bloggers I rarely pay too much attention to local rags, but this one really caught my eye. Interior News posted as its News Story of the Year the earthquake that did absolutely no harm. Wow what a boring community we must live in when the most important story is one about and earthquake that wiggled a jiggled a few homes. I would like to ask the Interior News a questi

(with the consent of your federal government) Have you ever wondered why stupid pet stories get more coverage than the death and destruction of our natural habitat? Have you ever wondered why a trivial news item gets more minutes of air time than the death of thousands of people outside of your back yard? Have you ever wondered why when only 2,996 people were killed in the 9/11 attack, it continues to get more co

As a rule, I try to stay off the topic of religion here, but people are so desperately trying to push other peoples buttons it’s time to speak up in self-defense. It’s time to call a spade a spade.     One of the many hurtful things people do to each other is to try their best to stick it to those who do not subscribe to the same ideology or beliefs that they do, and based on what I see daily in soci

What would happen if nobody voted? Food for thought. Let’s have a look at a British Columbia reality, in the last BC Election in 2009 nearly three million British Columbians or 91% of all eligible voters were registered to vote in the May election. According to Elections Canada, we also saw the largest numbers of people wanting to get on the voters list in BC history, making it appear as though we could see a ver
