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

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

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

We, the people of Canada will not honor nor do we condone the Canada-China Investment Treaty, nor do we appreciate how China has treated Canadians and obviously China is becoming the single greatest threat to Canada since WWII and most sadly so with the help of an insider who cheated to become the Prime Minister of Canada. We the people do not appreciate how you are buying up all our resources and shipping them out

It blows my mind when you see a company like EBay work as the doorway for illicit fakes which are illegal in Canada and the USA. Reporting them to EBay is an absolute waste of time, because based on all the items I have seen where people report the items as counterfeit, EBay simply ignores the complaints. Does Ebay know about these counterfeit goods? Sure they do, they even have pages on their website that talk abo

It seems like there is a lot of noise about pot these days, it must mean there is an election around the corner in British Columbia and there are lots of people out there who want the pot smokers vote. Between elections, well you don’t hear very much, but hey that’s politics. Before we jump on the bandwagon to allow our dear teenagers to smoke pot without risking a criminal conviction for having a joint in the

Get the facts folks, these are very dirty players in a very dirty game and it’s your backyard they want to play it in. OK let’s start with who the hell is Pacific Trail Pipeline? Folks have you heard this on the news? Nope, not a damn word right? Let me quote from an article by a very good investigative journalist by the name of Laila Yuile who also happens to hail from Prince George on this same pipeline route

Right wing rhetoric never ceases to amaze me, but one does have to ask, are BC residents stupid enough to buy this load of bunk by Premier Christy Clark? Let’s give credit where credit is due, former Minister of Environment and an outspoken defender of British Columbia’s environment said Clark has BC Behaving Like a Prostitute on Enbridge, Only Dickering Over Price is the certainly the most accurate if not eloq

How many of you wonder just how much of Communist China is Harper adopting for Canada? I have long maintained that when you pay less than the cost of living, you are subsidizing your employer’s income with your own. However it pales in comparison to allow people who work with a gun to their head, being sent by demand, or by way of financial desperation to work in Canada doing everything from skilled labour to ser
