Jan 24th, 2008; Another Canadian soldier was killed on Wednesday in the volatile Panjwaii district when his team were taking part in a road clearance operation when the bomb exploded. Sapper Etienne Gonthier, a 21-year-old combat engineer from Quebec, was identified as the latest Canadian soldier to die as a result of a roadside bomb. Gonthier was based in Valcartier, Que., with the 5e Regiment du Genie de Combat. Two other soldiers traveling with Gonthier were slightly injured when their light armoured vehicle had triggered the roadside bomb. about 35 kilometres southwest of Kandahar City. How many more Canadian soldiers need to die or get injured before our government decides to bring our troops back home?

When will Canadians learn not to go to Mexico for their vacation? Recently, a Canadian married couple went to Mexico for their vacation. The husband was accused by the hotel they were staying at, of sexual harassment of one of the hotel maids. The husband was arrested and put in jail. The couple was bribed to pay a thousand dollars before they would allow the husband to be set free. Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and to think that our Canadian government want to be part of NAFTA that will bind Canada, the USA and Mexico into a North America Union. We had better re-think that Liberal NAFTA plan and get out of it, the sooner the better.

In a recent speech to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Al Gore spiced it with signature phrases like "moral imagination" and "planetary emergency," as well as plenty of references to future generations, Al Gore warned attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the climate situation is dire. "The climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projections had warned us," he said. "There has never been anything remotely like this planetary emergency in the entire history of human civilization. We are putting at risk all of human civilization." Gore also emphasized the need for a worldwide carbon tax and argued that changing government policies is more important than altering personal actions in the fight against climate change. Al Gore is once again up to his lying rhetoric with his false claims on Global warming. He stated that the ice pack in the Artic will shrink even more in the coming years. I hope people are not going to be stupid enough to buy into his claims or believe Al Gore or that Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and their dire predictions of how the Earth is heating up so quickly. Do yourself a favor and go back to page 20 and scroll down to about half the page and see for yourself the present condition of the ice pact that is in the Artic. That will debunk everything Al Gore has been saying. If that was not enough lies for one day, out come those Anti-Smoking groups who are adding more lies upon the lies Al Gore had already dished out.

Once again the Canadian Cancer Society has been lobbying government to ban designated smoking rooms and placing further restrictions on where people can smoke such as banning smoking in public areas, such as at playgrounds and sports fields, as well as in cars carrying children. Chief health officer Heather Morrison told CBC News Thursday she would support all those initiatives, among others.son. Here is another attack on people who smoke. According to an associate professor of Environmental Medicine, Irfan Rahman, claims that the toxins in cigarette smoke can decrease production of SIRT1 in the lungs. His research was published in two separate studies, in the American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine, appearing online Jan. 3, 2008, and in the American Journal of Physiology, appearing Dec. 27, 2007. Rahman has spent years studying how the 4,700 toxic chemical compounds in cigarettes assault lung tissue. He claims that smoking can disable a gene that protects against premature aging. In that same study, Rahman claims that recent studies also show that SIRT1 helps ease the negative effects of stress, which causes cell death and other processes involved in premature aging. Another study on stress reveal that children whose mothers are chronically stressed in the early years of their life are much more likely to develop asthma, suggests a new Canadian research. When University of Manitoba researchers pored over the medical records of 13,907 children born in Manitoba in 1995 and tracked until 2003, they found the duration of mental distress in the mother influenced the development of asthma in their kids. It appears that stress in one of the main factors which cause premature aging and the rise of asthma in children, though I still maintain that the toxic pollution from gas driven vehicles and Industry who dump toxic chimicals in the air, in lakes and rivers and on the land is the main cause for most lung cancers and the rise of asthma in children. Here is another study by Statistics Canada which claims upon their survey that life expectancy of Canadians continues to rise, and has now reached 80.4 years, according to new numbers released Monday by Statistics Canada. The federal agency's numbers are based on data from 2005. Unfortunately, Stats Canada did not say if these were people who smoked or those who do not. It is plain to see that people like the Canadian Cancer Society and anti-smoking groups are determine to force people who smoke, to quit, one way or another. Lying and making unfounded and exaggerated claims are their tools to accomplish their goal. One would think that our Canadian politicians and those people involved with Anti-Smoking groups would be more concerned about children and adults who use illegal drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, pcp, lsd, crack and ecstasy and other drugs not mentioned here, on our streets and in our prisons. Yet it seems like smoking cigarettes in their main concern given the efforts they have shown over the past years. Yes, the Canadian Cancer Society and anti-smoking groups had managed to ban smoking cigarettes in most municipalities across Canada, even in our prisons, but illegal drugs like Cannabis, Cocaine, Hashish, PCP, LSD, Crack and Ecstasy are being widely used by teens and adults in most communities as well as prison inmates, according to what our news media and law enforcement officials have revealed to us. My answer to the Canadian Cancer Society and those anti-smoking groups who are waging their war against smoking legal tobacco products, is to stick their unfounded claims about smoking cigarettes up their rectum!

Jan.25th, 2008; Today the tempature outside is -10 °C / 14 °F, with an overcast sky. It is snowing quite heavily with little wind. It is a great day to be going out for a jaunt. Irene, who owns Come by Chance Treasures and is my landlord, had given me a great pair of fiberglass laminated ski's. They are really meant for a child around 7-10 years of age. But because they are wide and short, they make a great substitute for snowshoes. I rather these short ski's because I find snowshoes to be too cumbersome, awkward and takes more energy to get along, than do short ski's. I put on my cross country ski boots on and went out to give these ski's a try out. I tied Buddy's long leash around my waist so that may hands were free to use the ski poles, and to my surprise, Buddy promptly hauled me around. Next time we go out again, I will put the sled harness on Buddy and try this again. It was nice having Buddy propel me along the snow on ski's. It is just like water skiing. He did not seem to mind at all, having me in tow. These ski's would be excellent even in the bush, because they are short enough to get around trees and bush. I will tie these new pair of ski's to the dogsled every time Buddy and I go for a run. They will make a great pair of snowshoes when getting around in deep snow.

Does it not seem some kind of a coincident that Prince Charles has swallowed the "global warming" mantra of the UN, hook, line and sinker. After all, we all know that he and the British royal family are directly involved with the New World Order crowd. And what religion do they represent? I recall reading in a book where it states the worship of the dragon and his phony, man-made god-man of the Baal god/gods. Detractors for the reasons of Global Warming may argue that Prince Charles green principles do not stand up to close examination. It is no coincident that the religion the royal family represents, also cannot stand up to close scrutiny. But now Prince Charles is set to confound his critics by addressing an energy conference - as a hologram. Determined to keep his environmental damage to a minimum, Charles explains how he has saved 15 tons of carbon that would have been generated by flying himself and his staff 7,000 miles to the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi by a three-dimensional image of himself giving his five-minute talk on Global Warming. Charles recorded the message at Highgrove last month. It was transformed into a hologram-style image using technology based on a Victorian music-hall technique called “ghosting”. A video projector beam of the image of Prince Charles is then reflected up on to a paper-thin sheet of foil on the floor, to create an optical illusion that makes him appear as a 3-D image on stage. Former US Vice-President Al Gore used similar technology to appear as a hologram at Wembley Stadium at the beginning of the Live Earth concerts earlier this year. One day, 3-D hologram-style image will be projected via by satelite. Isn't that how people will see and worship the dragon which gave power to the beast? Naw, that is just my far fetch imagination running wild. Or is it?

Jan 27th, 2008; I was out this afternoon with Buddy on a cross country ski run. Buddy had once again pulled me along. He is sure handy when going over small hills. He helps me by his pulling me up the hills, with my help of course. This afternoon was a balmy -4 °C/ 24°F with overcast skies. The soft wind was from the south-west. I had changed the bindings on the ski's for those for cross country, the kind I was using the ski's for. They worked out great. I can't get over how well I can see through my left eye since the cathartic was replace with an artificial lens. I now see things through that eye crystal clear. My right compare seem that I am looking through a thin vial of fog, compare to how I can see with my left eye. But now I can see much better than I could before I had that eye operation. I thank Dr. K Sales and his staff at theTemiskaming Hospital who did such a fine job. Maby when my right eye get worse than it already is, I might be able to replace that cathartic lens for an artificial clear one. Will see. But for now, I am a happy camper. I read in the news that some Fatah terrorists had opened fire on a vehicle near the northern entrance to the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat Thursday evening, murdering a border police officer - Rami Zuari, 20, from Be'er Sheva and seriously wounding 4 others. Another victim in the shooting was, a female border police officer, age 20, was evacuated to Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital in critical condition from a gunshot wound to the chest. Around the same time, Arab terrorists also infiltrated Kibbutz Kfar Etzion in Gush Etzion in an event that ended miraculously without major casualties. The two terrorists entered Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz's Mekor Chaim yeshiva high school, entering a library room where seven of the boarding school's counselors were having a meeting. The terrorists, armed with a knife and a gun - which later turned out to be a fake - were dressed in the uniforms of a security company, and ordered the seven to line up on one side of the room. A counselor realized they were terrorists, drew his personal firearm and opened fire. Another grabbed the fake gun from one of the terrorists, wrestled him to the floor, while the first counselor shot him dead. The terrorists managed to lightly stab two of the counselors before falling dead. I also read of the demolition of the separation wall between Gaza and Egypt on Wednesday by Palestinians. The Israeli police and military forces have increased security measures along the Israeli border with Egypt. Israelis visiting the Sinai Peninsula have been instructed to return home immediately. Hundreds of thousands of Arabs from the Palestinian Authority in Gaza have entered Sinai since Wednesday morning. According to Israeli intelligence assessments, it is likely that PA terrorists have taken advantage of the border breach in order to infiltrate Israel via the Egyptian border. Commanders from the military, intelligence agencies, the police and other security bodies in the south have been meeting to coordinate their response to the increased threat. The army has ordered Route 10 along the Israeli border with Egypt to be temporarily closed to civilian traffic due to security concerns. The Palestinians had blown up approximately 7 miles of the wall that separates Egypt from Gaza. Hamas officials have admitted that the demolition of the Gaza-Egypt border was planned months in advance. It was not related to the partial embargo imposed by Israel. Israel's defense minister Ehud Barak said his government has not ruled out a large-scale military operation to counter continuing rocket attacks from Gaza. Regardless what some Jewish people may think about me, I maintain that the people in Israel need to take off their kid gloves and come down hard on the Arabs (the so-called Palestinians). Given all the rocket attacks upon Israel by Hamas and Fatah terrorists, and the attacks of drive by shootings, of human bomb attacks by Palestinians on Israeli soldiers, border police officers and civilians, along with the knives and guns of the Palestinians which they have become experts at killing innocent Israeli people. I would have thought that as a first step, Ehud Barak would have the Israeli government to suspend all peace talks and declare war on the Palestinians. They need to order the IDF forces to raze all of Gaza to the ground and force all Arab Palestinians (Those who are against Israel), out of Israel pronto, along with all the Baal worshipers that are in Israel! If the Israeli Olmert government fails to declare war on the Palestinians, those who are propping up the Olmert government should leave that government and bring in an emergency call for elections as quickly as possible in order to prevent the Jewish Nation of Israel from being destroyed. If the Israeli people fail to do this, Israel will surely be destroyed. This is no new revelation on my part, I have been saying this for the past many years. I have yet to change my mind on this stance. The action or lack of it on the part of the Jewish people in Israel will greatly determine the future of Israel.

Jan. 28 2008 ; The Heart and Stroke Foundation warnes that most people are unaware that air pollution is a heart disease risk. Air pollution is a year-long threat to the health of Canadians, says the Heart and Stroke Foundation, yet only 13 per cent of Canadians believe it can contribute to heart disease. The Foundation says that every year, there are approximately 6,000 additional deaths in Canada because of short term exposure to air pollution. While almost two-thirds of Canadians believe that air quality has a major effect on health, not many associate pollution with heart disease, according to the poll that the Foundation commissioned. 1,134 Canadians was asked to name diseases affected by air pollution, 82 per cent named respiratory diseases and 34 per cent selected cancer. But only 13 per cent named heart disease. According to CTV News Staff , the director of health policy for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, Stephen Samis noted that even Canadians who make healthy lifestyle choices are at risk of heart disease because of the air they breathe. "We can encourage Canadians to make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk, but air pollution is a pervasive and unavoidable health risk for heart disease that all Canadians face -- and most are unaware of its short and long-term impact," he said in a CTV News statement. The survey also found that 61 per cent of respondents do not let smog advisories affect what they do outdoors. Yet, everyone should, says cardiologist and Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Dr. Beth Abramson. "Poor air quality represents a particular challenge for our aging population and those at increased risk of heart disease," says Abramson. "It's ironic that people who are recovering from - or are trying to prevent - heart disease by being physically active may actually be exposing themselves to more risk on bad air days if they head outdoors to be active." Part of the problem, the Foundation says, may be that many Canadians do not see that air pollution as affecting their communities. Six out of 10 Canadians (64 per cent) believe the quality of air in their community is generally good to excellent -- even though all parts of the country have some degree of increased cardiovascular risk because of air pollution. Those living in the Prairie provinces are most likely to believe their air quality is good (84 per cent), followed by those in Atlantic Canada (75 per cent) and British Columbia (71 per cent). The air quality confidence levels were lowest in Quebec (59 per cent) and Ontario (53 per cent). Seven out of 10 Canadians are also under the mistaken impression that air pollution tends to be worse during the summer, the survey found. Only three per cent recognized that air pollution is a year-round problem. The Heart and Stroke Foundation says it would also like to see a Air Quality Health Index, such as the one being used in Toronto, Nova Scotia and British Columbia pilots. Such an index would give all Canadians access to easy-to-understand information on daily air quality in their area and clear recommendations on when and how to limit their exposure. They also would like to see federal and provincial legislation strengthening air quality. To have public awareness and incentive programs to encourage consumer and industry to reduce air pollution. To increased investment in public transit within and between urban centres across the country, including investments in high speed rail across Canada and between large major cities. Federal and Provincial transportation-related infrastructure that facilitates using electric vehicals which will greatly decrease auto exhaust pollution from gas engines. The creation of neighbourhood communities that promote reducing air pollution. The Heart and Stroke Foundation tell it like it is. unlike the Canadian Cancer Society and anti-smoking groups, who tend to over exagerate or make totally unfounded claims about the moderate use of tobacco products.

Bush is seeking support in his State of Union Message. He wants to speak about the economy, and the war in Iraq, and "other" unresolved matters that have kept the nation on edge. But President Bush's State of the Union address today is probably his last chance to seize the public's attention and put his unresolved matters in to use. Bush's language is expected to be tougher when it comes to that something else he wants from Congress, that "other" unresolved matter which is the extension of a law that allows surveillance under the pretext of suspected terrorists. The current eavesdropping law, which allows government unlimited surveillance and access to monitor people's phone calls, web sites and e-mails in the United States, which expires on Friday. Bush is clashing with the Senate leadership over safeguards as well as legal immunity for companies that helped the government spy on American citizens. It also includes puting in place the use of biometric identifiers in all documentation. Like DNA markers, eyeprints and fingerprints and eventually the implantation of microchip implants on people, which is presently used on animals. In the meantime, they will settle for the implementation of a mandatory permanent resident card for all US citizens. All this for Bush's USA Homeland Security Office that is being headed by the New World Order Plan in which Canada is following close behind to implement upon Canadian Citizens. The US Senate is expected to take a key vote on the bill just hours before Bush speaks, so the White House may adjust the speech on the fly. Otherwise, the address is essentially locked down at roughly 45 minutes long. I can still remember that on December 12, 2001, John Manley, who was at that time the Liberal Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, entered an agreement with Tom Ridge, the USA Homeland Security Director and established the "Smart Border Declaration". On March of 2005 the then Prime Minister Paul Martin and President Bush and President Fox signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement which adopted the Task Force Recommendations. By that agreement the Liberal government had promised to create the NAFTA regime of North America. The Smart Border Plan mirrors the recommendations of the USA, Canada, Mexico Task Force which recommendations were divulged on May 17, 2005. That task force was composed of the leading CEOs of the most powerful corporations in North America, prominent former officials, like Tom Manly who held that task force, consisting of business men and academic apologists from all three countries. They plan to unify North America and change the shape and fabric of Canada. The recommendations include a common security perimeter by 2010. (Fortress America). They plan to have a North American border pass with biometric identifiers, a unified border with expanded facilities, a single economic space, a common external tariff, a seamless movement of goods within North America, and a North American energy strategy, followed with a review of sectors of NAFTA that were excluded, along with a North American Regulatory plan that removes regulations, a permanent tribunal for disputes, and have an annual North American summit meetings. So there you have it. That plan include biometric identifiers in all documentation. Like DNA markers, eyeprints and fingerprints and eventually the implantation of microchip implants as part of their surveillance plan. In the meantime, they will settle for now, the implementation of a mandatory permanent resident card for its citizens. They have also implemented a no fly lists (i.e. lists of people not allowed to fly.), and a no passport lists (i.e lists of people not allowed to renew their passports). It will give Canadian and American governments to access surveillance of internet use, email, cell phones and fax communications, and the sharing of revenue Canada and census information (i.e. divulging all the personal and financial data of Canadians to the USA Homeland Security Office). Canada Customs and Revenue Agency will be working collaboratively with the United States Customs Service, the United State Immigration and Naturalization Service, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. All this under the pretext of that anti-terrorism legislation which tramples upon Canadian Rights and Freedoms. Is this not a betrayal of the sacred trust of Canada and of its Canadian Citizens that will profoundly strip and sabotage Canada's Constitution and infringe upon our Charter of Rights and Freedoms? Would you want the powers that be to extend and fully implament the New World Order surveillance plan? You decide.
