Well, things aren't moving in Syria fast enough that more innocent people are being slaughtered daily, which doesn't surprise me. I'm starting to think, that whole thing is part of a wider conspiracy somehow. Why else would opponents be dragging their feet so much on this most pertinent issue?
Japan rattled by yet another earthquake of 6.2 or 3 magnitude. So far this is reported as not causing any major damage or loss of life. Personally, for me if I lived there, I would be seriously thinking about moving to the mainland by now.
Here in Alberta, winter is dragging on stubbornly while the east has been basking in unseasonably great weather including the smashing of previous records. Unfortunately in the greater Toronto area I believe their weather is drastically affected by the high amounts of air pollution. After a 23 year absence from Ontario I went back for 2 years and it wasn't even close to the same climate I grew up with. Today's summer humidity there is so stifling as to be unbelievable.
It makes one wonder when you see commercials for insurance using the fact that the Canadian Government only pays up to $2500.00 towards funeral expenses, while funerals true costs are $10,000 and up. This is so typical of our Government. I guess we are supposed to be thankful they are offering even that paltry sum. But how about they put the payout to $5000 to even the playing field a little more for impoverished Canadians ?
Health Canada is still letting Aspartame suck the life out of Canadians at an alarming rate. Wake the hell up and lead instead of following the U.S like a bunch of retarded sheep.
Being proactive has never been an attribute of the Canadian Government. As long as I waited to see the Conservative party in power, I'm beginning to have a lot of doubts as to the leaderships abilities. I see the NDP as a real viable party to take the lead. If we could just get corruption and dishonesty out of politics and replace it with integrity and accountability, we would see great things accomplished. Ya like that's going to happen !
Health Care in the U.S. is under attack, and so it should be. The U.S. is one of the only industrialized nations that doesn't have a health care program that provides care for everyone, which I find is outrageous in this day and age. I think both the U.S. and Canada should take a closer look at the U.K.'s National Health Service as a model to build from.
I lived in the U.K. for 4 years and the N.H.S. is remarkable in my opinion. People there complain a lot about it but then they probably have never been subjected to health care in the U.S. to see how good they have it.
It's really hard not to comment on the blatant and total ineptness of Mitch Romney, and especially the fact that his comment on Russia being the U.S.'s greatest geopolitical threat and foe of the U.S. angering the Russian President. If only Mitch had subscribed to the old adage of : If you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say anything at all. All I can say is that if this guy gets elected the U.S. can kiss any chances of ever being a world leader again goodbye.
