Come winter with the high costs of utilities, I can see, many evictions and utility cut offs. The tax hikes, in the provincial budget, were bad enough. Put the budget and the HST together, the burden is far too heavy. I can't remember, where I read this. China is holding billions of U.S. treasury bills. Campbell and Harper, work hand in hand, on projects for China's easier access into Canada. I think, Fadden of Canadian Intelligence, put a warning shot, across the bow. I am wondering, if the influence he was talking about was, China's Communist influence? Campbell shut down 51 mills, some went to China, as well as our raw logs. Campbell in his time in office, has lost our mill workers, 30.000 jobs. Every time a mill shuts down in BC, another mill opens in China. Campbell has pocketed, millions of dollars, by destroying our economy, in the north. Rumor has it, there is another recession, on the way. For sure then, Harper will preach some more, on his pet theme of, global governance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-24019463077361980762010-08-29T17:04:41.433-07:002010-08-29T17:04:41.433-07:00I know this is not on topic and I always like what...I know this is not on topic and I always like what you have to say, you need to get your message out to tens of thousands of listeners at once? ...

See Times Colonist article August 27th edition. Washington State is going to remove two dams. This will enable several species of salmon stocks to flourish in the Juan de Fuca straight -- numbers would/could raise to 400,000 from a few thousand. It's heartening to hear (project begins next year). Now if only we could dismantle run-of-river projects in BC and reclaim these stretches of river. We need a Danny Williams type-of-politician. He reclaimed timber and hydro rights( for people of Newfoundland Labrador) from Abitibi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-91539004454194819572010-08-29T00:29:32.967-07:002010-08-29T00:29:32.967-07:00On Global National they ran a story on housing in ...On Global National they ran a story on housing in the USA. The reporter had a copy of a Washington, DC newspaper which had 43 pages of homes for sale. The catch is that all these homes were all foreclosures. Although the reporter didn't specify, I assume that these listings were for homes in the Washington, DC area. When their housing problems were being highlighted, the areas most talked about were Florida, Arizona and California, so one can only imagine how many pages some areas in these states could fill.<br /><br />The codswollop that was being fed to us by our politicians and noted economist types that Canada was doing fine compared to the US was nothing more than enticing the great unwashed to keep borrowing and spending. And by the ever increasing profits the banks are making, it must be working.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the time will come when the bubble will burst. Canadians as a whole are saving less while increasing their debt. Some of this can be attributed to the "gotta have it now" mentality some people seem to live by, but I believe there are many who are getting further in the hole just to survive.<br /><br />The bottom line, as I see it, is that we are in for a rough ride for many years to come. And yet, the banks will still be making huge profits while the talking heads keep telling us this is a good thing.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-45219937984971674612010-08-28T23:51:58.410-07:002010-08-28T23:51:58.410-07:00A couple more pieces of the puzzle...the IMF has b...A couple more pieces of the puzzle...the IMF has been working on bringing in a One-World Currency...and expects to have it well within ten years. <br /><br />Two companies in the States are perfecting the system for iris recognition...and have stated that within ten years pretty well everyone in the world will be in their data banks. Those that refuse to have their iris read will "stick out like a sore thumb"...and it will be much easier on us if we just "go with the system." According to them, we'll be on their cameras, and in their data banks from the time we leave home - until the time we return. Total control of crime is their big excuse, though admittedly total control of a population will be the side effect. <br /><br />So, one currency, one government (Harper has been devoting much time to bringing that in), VeriChip's iris recognition...and soon thereafter, the implanted chip.<br /><br />Where have we heard of this before?Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-28547537810520121102010-08-28T20:39:21.800-07:002010-08-28T20:39:21.800-07:00Grant, another enemy of the people that you forgot...Grant, another enemy of the people that you forgot to mention is Vancouver's mayor Moonbeam.
