Anybody who wants to preserve any savings they may have should get out of the US dollar. Buy gold or silver instead. Buy anything that is real. If you want stocks, buy something that everybody wants — like beer. If you want a fiat currency, I would recommend converting into Euro […]
The news of McGuinty’s recent foray into saving the world from Global Warming and/or Climate Change has reached Europe but they do not hear his superficial public relations exercises as often as we do:
“It’s our responsibility as global citizens to get this right, and to act now,” McGuinty said.
Wow! I […]
Dan McTeague seems pretty clever when it comes to predicting oil prices a day in advance. He has his own calculation. Now, he has a magical solution to actually lower the prices!
Recent media reports indicated that the European Union has agreed to publish weekly reports on how much oil they have […]
Telus and Bell should explain the additional charges to their customers, and justify the action to their shareholders. They clearly do not have to explain themselves to the Industry Minister.

Whether the phone is hand-held or hands-free, I believe the distraction still exists. Talking on a hands-free phone while driving is […]
The funny thing is in BC, our electric company is called “BC Hydro”. As in hydroelectic power. But BC is no longer self-reliant in terms of hydroelectricity. We buy energy off the electrical market to supplement, which means we really aren’t just hydro anymore.
But I digress.
The apologists are out in full force trying to calm […]
Let’s see. For the first time in decades, Saskatchewan elects a non-leftist government.
Then they win a Grey Cup for the first time in decades.
Strangely coincidentally, their economy begins to ride a wave of prosperity started in Alberta. For the first time in decades, Saskatchewan experiences positive population growth.
…and then came Stephane Dion.
It seems like the Republican presidential hopeful needs to use vacuous hyperbole and fear mongering to his advantage:
