Province of Ontario

For those who read my rants, I must give the impression that I hate the province of Ontario. Actually, I like Ontario and its people but its provincial government I don’t like.

The way I see it, that government is always looking at different ways to pick the pockets of its citizens, while making sure that the citizens don’t get any thing back for what they pay in increases.

My back is back

A while ago I mentioned that I was having some back problems and it would slow my posting on my blog.  It did, but it didn't slow my brain.  I'll be posting again regularly starting today.  My back is not fully recovered but it is feeling better enough now that I can sit at my computer again and and not have it bother me.  Not surprisingly, there are still as many things to rant about as before I took a break.

So I'm back and as ranty as ever.

Iran

According to the reports, Iran has said that they will let the UN Inspectors into their secret nuclear site. My question would be, are they to be trusted? Because of all the suspicion they've brought on themselves, for refusing to let the UN Inspectors in the last time they went there, they don't deserve a lot of our trust. It's more likely they were they just looking for more time to hide what they were doing, if they had started in doing what they weren’t suppose to do.

Could it be that they finally figured out that they had made too many threats and that they are feeling the tension building up against them? Do they now realize that they had pushed their luck too far and now it was time to back down before action is taken against them?

If Ahmedinejad just wants to generate electricity, what was the other stuff about radioactive isotopes (source missing)? If it is used for cancer treatment as he's suggested, why would they have to have it in a secret place and not let the inspectors in?

With all the threats that he has made and all the tension, that he has brought against his nation, all of a sudden he changes his mind. This sounds a little suspicious to me.

That’s my beef for today. 

Out of Commission

It may be a while before I can post again. Not years or months, but perhaps a couple of weeks.  I've hurt my back and it hurts to sit at the computer for more than 5 or 10 minutes or even to move around too much. It bothers me from time to time, and it sure isn't fun when it happens.

But it does go away after a while.  I'm not going away though.

I will post again as soon as I can, but I'm not sure how soon it will be.  But I'll be back when I have a better back.

Yet more stupid by-laws

By-laws are sometimes beyond stupid.

I thought the City of Ottawa, the Capital of Canada, had some stupid by-laws. From what I read this morning on Fox News,  in Louisiana the parishioners were ordered to stop giving water and coffee away because they did not have the proper permits. One permit for failing to secure an occupational license and the other for failing to register for a sales tax.

I can’t speak about the occupational license, but failing to register for a sales tax? This is kind of stupid, because they were not selling anything but giving it away.           

That’s my short rant of the day but I would like to leave you with some good advice. If you decide to go to Louisiana, don’t you dare giving anything away because you might be breaking some stupid law. You be the judge.

Have a good day.

What is this World coming to?

What is this world coming to when some nations will let a nation murder its own citizens by the thousands? This is exactly what is happening in Syria and it seems like the fat cat has friends that do not want any nation to go and take him out. I guess that these nations like Iran, Russia and China are willing to let people get murdered just because they are getting what ever they need at a good price.  Or perhaps what they need from this nation they can’t get anywhere else. It's not oil. It's got to be ideological or political camaraderie.  But I guess in that part of the world that's what matters, and life is cheap.

Justin Trudeau

We don't need more of him.

This morning, as usual I was listening to the talk show on the C.F.R.A radio station like I do every morning. I was surprised to hear a young politician blasting the Prime Minister, accusing him of trying to make this country his country. I will admit that Mr. Harper is going too far in my opinion on being tough on crime. Even going so far as to give the police the power to infringe on our personal communication on the Internet.  In addition to other changes that he wants to make. That does not sound too good to me and if he succeeds in doing that type of thing, then what? 

 How far is he going to go to infringe on our personal life? I mentioned in one of my previous blog posts  what he might turn out to be if he was in total control and now he’s showing us what his agenda would be. I agree with Mr. Justin Trudeau with some of what he says about Harper because Harper is starting to show what he’s all about. Mr. Trudeau says that he would like to see Canada like it was. I have news for Mr. Trudeau however - we, the older generation, would like to see it like it was before his dad the former Prime Minister of Canada had gotten a hold of the country and changed it all around to make this country his country. I'm speaking of course of Pierre Trudeau.

Justin Trudeau was too young at the time to know how this country was before his dad took over as the Prime Minister. Before Pierre Trudeau took over this was Canada and it belonged to us Canadians. Trudeau   brought in Multiculturalism and the metric system and some laws were changed for some to appease  other cultures. Now we Canadians don’t feel like we are in our own country.

So Mr. Trudeau before you start blasting this Prime Minister find out what this country was before your dad took over. If you are working to some day become Prime Minister you are going about it the wrong way because the way you spoke out this morning of which we heard on the radio brought us back to what your dad did and we sure didn’t like it and we still don’t. I must remind you also, that trying to get the Quebec people to vote to separate from this country, you will never succeed and the proof was shown to every one in the last election.

For you to become successful will be tough.  You have three strikes against you already.  First you’re a Liberal. Second you sound like a separatists. And third, you don’t have enough experience or should I say enough of the diplomacy that makes for a good politician. I will admit that you are allowed to express you're opinion but a good politician doesn't blast off like you did this morning without thinking of a better way to express oneself without sounding like an immature politician and a separatists.

My advice to you Mr. J. Trudeau is to learn about politics and the way a good politician would study what he has to say and put it in words that you can sound off without showing your immaturity at being a politician.

These are my opinions and my rant of the day.
