New World Order

 

The New World Order is upon us. It is surprising hat Australia has been the first to fall. They say Canada will be next. Only the election holding us back. The U.S. is slower because of their history of rebellion. They rebelled against the British while Australia & Canada did not.

Goodbye Greyhound

 

Yesterday I put up a Greyhound ad on my site "Old Magazine Ads". Today I heard they are shutting down their service in Canada. That ad was 74 years ago.

Sears

Not much going on yesterday. Rained all day. My wife was busy cleaning out the basement...again. She came and gave me two pair of new pants. She said I could have them for Father's Day. That's good. I looked at the sales tag after she left and noticed that it was from Sears - 2011. She has the habit of giving me the same present more than once. That's not going to happen again. I hung up both pair in my closet, to use.
Both Canada and the U.S. have the habit of sending jobs to foreign places, to stupid and lazy people.We should keep those jobs here, we have lots of stupid and lazy people of our own to put to work.
I was watching a fashion show yesterday - Hey, Hey, don't say that. Yes, I was watching a fashion show but it was actually part of a movie. I was wondering, who buys all those weird clothes? I heard it was rock stars wives. I suppose. Some of them have a lot of wives and ex-wives.

Right Hand Driving

Did you know. At 2:00 am April 15 1923, Cape Bretoners, like other Nova Scotians, stopped driving automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles on the left-hand side of the road and started driving on the right hand side. Horses were well-trained and very habitual in their trips into Canada. On reaching the middle of the bridge after the changeover, they automatically moved to the left as they had always done, causing some mayhem with motorists and others travelling south. It was some time before all of the teams had been re-trained to stay to the right for the entire trip.

The same problem apparently occurred between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the four and a half months they had different driving laws. There were other considerations as well resulting from the changes. The History of Automobiles website reports that “Nova Scotia Tramways & Power Company Limited, which owned and operated the electric streetcar system in Halifax, sued the provincial government to recover the cost of changing the doors on all streetcars to the other side, and the cost of changes in track layout. In Lunenburg County, 1923 is still known as The Year of Free Beef; the price of beef dropped precipitously because oxen which had been trained to keep to the left could not be retrained — oxen are notoriously slow-witted — and many teamsters had to replace their oxen with new ones trained to keep to the right; the displaced oxen were sent to slaughter.”

The average number of people airborne over the U.S. at any given time is 61,000. In Canada, when marijuana becomes legal, we will probably beat that number.

In Canada, unlike some countries, everyone is allowed to dress casually, although, at times, we wish some wouldn't.

You hear all that talk about building a wall and all the trouble its causing,

well, Canada is also building a wall with the U.S. and I don't think there will be any protests. If there is opposition, it will be because its not being built fast enough. Labor will be free and there will probably be too many volunteers. We are going to build our wall with marijuana plants and the Americans will rush to pay for it. It will be cheaper than paying the cartels.

Canada Selling Part of Its Gold Reserves

by Martin Armstrong

Governments everywhere are going broke. Despite what people think, gold may yet make new record lows under $1,000 in the months ahead. Canada has sold off a piece of its gold reserve into this rally. There is NO intention of returning to a gold standard. They are moving fully electronic and intend to eliminate cash everywhere. In so doing, the “official” view behind the curtain is that they no longer need gold.

Did you notice they made a silver coin with Bugs Bunny on it. Doesn't that give you confidence? Walking around with Bugs Bunny on your money?

Canada

Leftovers

    Not all meals are of the A1 type. As everyone knows, somewhere along the line there are leftovers. Such was the case yesterday, at least for me. In this case it was fish, leftover from the day before. Basa, from the Mekong, a type of catfish. Small world, eh? I asked my wife if she wanted any, as there was enough for two. She said no. A few minutes later she said, "I don't think I'm a fish person, I think I'm a steak person."
    She hasn't always been a steak person. I remember when we got married in Germany, we would go out and have anything from deer to frog legs. When I got transferred back to Canada, she was into club sandwiches, something you couldn't get overseas. Somewhere along the line, that morphed into steak. I asked her once why she always preferred steak. She said, " It seems such a waste to go to a restaurant and not have steak."

Credit Card Maxed? So What.

The weather today is whatever forcast you pick. The picks are, cloudy, sunny, showers or stormy. They could sell lottery tickets on this.

Had to go to a funeral the other day. It happens, and the older, the more frequent. An old air force buddy died. That's the second in a month. His son was there and that was weird. Looks like his fathers twin. It was like I was talking to his father, thirty years ago.

Read this morning that Canada and India are teaming up to sell nuclear reactors. If I read it right, our part is selling the uranium with Indian technology. Now that's a scary thought. India has nuclear weapons, and do you know, that's our fault. In the 70's we sold them a reactor, and they learned how to make a bomb. This time they say, when we sell them uranium, there will be a monitoring system so they can't use it for weapons. How stupid can you be?

A third of the American news is about the woman in Florida, who has been released from jail, and another third about Murdoch. The last third is about the debt ceiling. In regard to the deby ceiling, isn't it the same as when my credit card is maxed out, and I go to the bank and ask for a new limit, so I can spend?  I don't know what all the fuss is about. Of course they are going to raise it. What it does, is worry the stock market, and when it is raised, the market can shoot up like crazy.

Lots of coverage on strollers on buses. Most cities have laws that allows only fold up strollers. But not here, too dumb. Here women go on the bus with strollers that just make it in. Then no one else gets in. So every stop on the route waits for the next bus. Duh!. City Council too busy with their own ego's to do anything.

They say shoplifting not a problem here. Maybe just smart shoplifters.

The price of ereaders going down. Saw them advertised  for $68.

Saw the other day that they are going to make colored shoes for men. To celebrate the new colors, I will buy two pair. One black and one brown.

Saw this ad yesterday Ramadans.com. Of course, I thought it was for Muslims. Actually it's Ramada Inn Nova Scotia. Don't say you wouldn't be fooled.

The Dream of Freedom

Anyone for a trip to Libya? I guess not. I wouldn't have gone there in the best of times. Gadhafi's son gave a speech yesterday, telling all, they would fight to the bitter end. One would expect that. It will probably not the only country to go in that direction. While other states seemed to have caved in to protestor demands, it gives them time to round up the troublemakers and ringleaders.

I noticed Arab women on TV, telling us how they will have women's rights, freedom of information, Medicare, etc. You may get that, but you'll have to move to Canada first. The governments of these countries would probably be more like Iran. The crackdown in Iran is similar to Libya. So what did they achieve in Iran 30 years ago? Nothing.

I always wonder if these countries could handle a Democracy. They seem to need a heavy handed person to keep them in place, whether it is a single or a group Dictatorship. If some vote the opposite to others, they fly of the handle, and fists start to fly. Their discussion is throwing a brick. When they do vote a government in, it is so corrupt, they may as well have a Dictator. At least then they would know whose bank account the money is going to.

And with Wisconsin, the Americans have their own uprising. To tell you the truth, I can't believe one Governor would have the guts to up and do that. It sounds more like he drew the short straw.

"Lets Wisconsin try it first, they're a small state, and if it works there, we can all jump on board. If it doesn't work, no one the wiser."
Have to wait and see how that goes.

"We have to shut the government down, because we have no money."
 Probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard. An example of what happens, when you start a country, by throwing out all the laws and starting over. Self-interest groups make the laws and there is no going back. They make the laws in their favour from then on. The same thing will happen in the Arab countries. The biggest self-interest group will win out, most likely Islamic fundimentalists.

In Canada, politics are much more boring. We hire a Prime Minister to do a job. He has four years to do it right. If not, he's toast. We don't name holidays after him or let him go around thinking he is a rock star. Of course I'm not saying we don't get applications from idiots. We just hope that at election time, most of the population are not acting like idiots.

Here is a great video

The Great White North

In my last entry, I picked on our Prime Minister. I decided not to do that again but the next day, when I saw the newspaper, there he was on the front page again. Another glorious photo. This time the PM is stepping off an ice shelf into a rubber dingy with an outboard motor. Now, what's wrong with that photo? Would the item "life jacket" seem like an appropiate piece of outerwear? Now if he slipped on that ice and fell in, not only would he be on CNN and You Tube but also on Americas's Funniest Home Videos. Second thing, do you notice how everyone else is dressed per military? How much imagination does it take to throw on a camouflaged coat?

Take a look at that photo again. Imagine if that piece had broken off. There would have been five of them in the drink. Would we have been able to blame that on somebody? We could blame it on Iceland. They are trying to horn in on out territory. They are small enough that we could smuck them. Then we would get Greenland and we would really be the great white north........I sat back for a minute, thinking about that and I've decided that it's a bad idea. They are in financial trouble and would immediately give in and ask for welfare. We better forget about that. Anyway, it's probably something the Americans have in mind. They like smucking places to get their agenda passed.

O.K. Lets get back on track. What would Obama do? Well, for one thing, he wouldn't be standing on the edge of the ice getting in a rubber dingy. He would be getting into a helicopter that would take him out to submarine. And a band would be playing both national anthems like a hockey game. What would he be wearing, you ask? Well his black suit of course. Just like one of those men in black. Maybe he is one of those men in black. His head opens up and there is a little alien sitting there with big eyes smoking a cigar.

Now, what about Putin? He's a mans man. No, not that kind of man's man. More like Capt. Russia, hero of the republic. He would probably be shot from a cannon, with sword in hand and cape flowing.

So, I guess we agree that PM Harper has to change his image. He could be more like Thor with the big hammer. He could carry a harpoon and we could call him Sgt. Har-poon, leader of the great white north, afraid of no one except the U.S., Russia and China, who would like to have us for lunch. I don't mean invite us to lunch, I mean have us for lunch. But no matter. Every country seems to get a chance to run the world and our turn is coming.

It’s No Joke — Cellphone Ban For Drivers Begins April 1

It’s no April fool’s joke — one week from now talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving will be illegal and so will smoking in your car if a child under 19 is along for the ride.
