Fighter Jets or The Welfare of Seniors

Fighter Jets or The Welfare of Seniors <Canada>

Ask yourself this, Why our government? < Canadian Conservative Party> Harper lackeys, feel they need to spend approx. 16 Billion dollars on F-35 fighter jets. Now yes, we need jets to protect our country but these jets most likely will be used overseas and in the Middle East to make war with the Americans. Apparently the Conservatives feel that we need to replace the McDonnell Douglas CF-18’s.

Now of course our Soldiers need and deserve adequate equipment so they can remain several steps ahead on the battle field. Now ask yourself, couldn't there be something more productive to do with 16 billion dollars!! Crime prevention, paying down the deficit, or helping to alleviate costs for low income seniors.The government had to pay 10 million dollars up front to receive the progress reports on the jets. With this 16 billion we could get every senior citizen that is in financial need above the poverty line. This could mean safe adequate housing, full benefits <cost free prescriptions> descent food vouchers so they don't have to choose between having hydro, buying grocery's, or paying for prescriptions. These very items are required to maintain their health.

If the Canadian Government made it a point to properly take care of our seniors, in the long term it could help alleviate the strain on our health care system. How many seniors have poor health because of economic conditions, inadequate food that doesn't meet the Canadian Food Guide requirements? Prescriptions for heart disorders, diabetes, pain management, and high blood pressure are a must; we need to remember these are our parents and grandparents. Plus these seniors are the ones who made this country what it is today. One last point the F-35 fighter jets will not be ready until 2016, so why wouldn't we purchase them a few years from now, when the cost of the jets may come down, and our economy is back to normal and the Canadian deficit is substantially reduced.

Nuclear non proliferation

Nuclear non proliferation <North Korea>

Why would North Korea comply with <western powers> United Nation demands to freeze uranium and plutonium production and eventually suspend their entire nuclear apparatus. The United Nations tells the North Korean regime that if they follow through with their demands the UN mainly America will suspend sanctions imposed on Country, then supposedly the UN or America will help with economic perks <bribes in my opinion> which will help them with fuel shipments because of power black outs, basic food stuffs and medical supplies will freely enter the country to aid the civilian population. “you can’t make nuclear bombs on civilian medical supplies.

Isn't it a crime to place sanctions on human beings this is why a high infant mortality rate, famine and minimal life expectancy is so high in the country. So let’s say the North Koreans suspend uranium enrichment the deal Washington made while under <President Clinton's rein> its only granted until a new president comes to power like when Bush Junior was elected and refused the previous Presidents policy. This example will continue you happen.

So if the North abolish their program who's to say the deal will remain on the table. Then the North Korean regime feels vulnerable. Western governments have tried to weak the north in the past. So if the North complied and had no nuclear capabilities, why would the international community follow through with their promises? The West has sold out their policy in the past.

Now don't get the wrong impression it is disgusting what the North Korean Regime does to their civilian population, but when the UN takes a tough approach on the country sure it makes it tough on the regime bout they will continue to take what they need at the expanses of the Korean people. So UN polices should be reevaluated.

In order to fix a problem you need to look at it from all the parties’ views.

Renewable Energy Sources & Canada Job Creation

Global Warming Concerns ECO Friendly Energy Canada

Why doesn't Canada use some of our expertise and stimulus money to research and perfect new renewable energy sources? We could start by revamping and updating our manufacturing industry.

Many of Canada’s large factories and corporations are now moving their facilities and jobs over sea's, where they are able to stay competitive and make record profits. Now this may be beneficial for large corporations and the owners of these companies, but it is disastrous for the average worker, and the economy. In my opinion, this is a major contributing factor to our high unemployment rate, poor wages and economic troubles.

The Canadian government and entrepreneurs could turn this dangerous issue of global warming, into a positive, by investing capital into renewable energy sources. This would create jobs, educate a new generation, and keep us competitive in world manufacturing markets. Large oil addicted countries like America, Russia, and China will wait until the very last minute to make the change from oil, to renewable clean energy. Canada could benefit and profit from these countries backwardness by selling proven method's and equipment, that are renewable and ECO friendly energy sources. Imagine how large this market could be in these large industrialized nations.

Free Flow Water Turbine

There will be many different technologies and approaches to combating global warming. We would not have to put all our eggs in one basket. A few technologies we could improve on: are wind power, Hydro Electricity, free flow turbines and synthetic fuels. Yes we all know about wind mills, but there is also wave powered systems that create clean electricity.

Another system work's on the same concept as a shake-able powered flashlight. See when the waves come in and out, a float is raised and lowered. This up and down motion produces electricity. I think this is a good approach; Canada has many rivers, the Great Lakes, and a massive coast where facilities could be installed. Another approach is to use the tides and currents in our rivers to turn turbines; I'm not talking about electric dams. It's similar to a wind turbine but water spins the blades instead of wind. We know this would produce a steady flow of electricity because we are able to map out the tides and water table.

One other idea instead of using corn to create ethanol is a process called cellulose. What you need to do is ferment vegetation, water and sugar. You can use almost any kind of green vegetation (ex) weeds, dandelions, left over’s from crops such as corn stocks, wheat and even grass clippings. Then, when it is fermented for a given amount of time you distill the mixture just like alcohol. In the end you have a high burning more ECO friendly fuel. With this method we would not need to draw so heavily on corn to make ethanol. Using corn would raise the price of livestock, poultry, corn germ, corn meal and fructose.

Finally their is clean coal Technology this works on the scrubbing out and storing green house gas's. I have included a diagram to show you how the technology works.

Middle East Political Obstacles & The War On Terror

 

Middle East Political Obstacles

A major issue that fuels conflict in the Middle East that most politicians, policy makers and most world leaders fail to see is the Countries in this region were created by foreign powers, not by the Middle Eastern Inhabitants. Western powers and the UN clearly see borders, lines drawn on the map that show one country from another. Foreign power like the Europeans, Americans and other Colonial powers designed the map of the Middle East to best serve their political and economic interests. Then once again changes happened during WW1, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, WW2 and in more recent time The Cold War.

The <Communist> East , West <Free World> block during the Cold War changed and manipulated the political system and structures in this region. Puppet governments were installed, loyal to foreign countries not to the plight of their own people. It seems like this betrayal is, and was fueled by energy contracts <oil>, base of operations (military, trade) and other resources. Small, independent loyal politicians in this region, find it difficult if not impossible to receive the funding, protection and support without the oil company's money and backing. After centuries and decades of foreign manipulation, why do you think a good part of these Governments are hostile to the outside world. One of the most guilty participants for creating this atmosphere use to be mainly the British, but now America is the main culprit. Shame on them, the so called Free World, the defender of justice, democracy and human rights.

When the inhabitants in this region went through the restructuring of their homelands, tribes, family's and community’s were split up after century’s and even millennial. Look at Warzhiristan the tribal region that is technically part of Pakistan, and boarders Afghanistan. There is only Alkaid, Taliban and Tribal authority and justice. There is little to no government oversight in this territory. In most part there is no physical boarder separating these countries from one another. I think this is a major reason why there is no acknowledgment of the border.

A modern example is the ongoing war in Afghanistan. Alkaid and the Taliban fight Coalition forces in Afghanistan then seek sanctuary in Pakistan. Most Coalition forces break off the fight when enemy combatants head into Pakistan. The reason for this is, Coalition Forces are suppose to respect the sovereignty of other Nations and international law. This was the same in Vietnam <French Indo-China>, when the Vet-Cong used Laos and Cambodia to bring in supplies and regroup for their war effort. Our enemies exploit this handicap, throughout past and present conflicts.

No wonder why Middle Eastern inhabitants in the region are unhappy with the statuesque. Look how the British handed over Israel from the Palestinians. This territory is heavily populated with minimal resources, water, farm land and space. A few of the changes in Palestine in recent history have been the Franco- British boundary in 1920. Then the Transjordan memorandum during the British mandate for Palestine. Now in modern time, the complete separation of Israel from Palestine. The International Community has even let the Israeli's setup illegal settlements in Palestinian territory. Most people now adays do not realize when Israel was partitioned from Palestine there was an exodus of one million inhabitants to make room for the Zionists <Jewish Homeland>.

Everyone needs a place to call home but there was no open debate, the inhabitants of this region had no say in the partition of their home lands. The strong told the weak what to do,where to go, and how to do it. See the Western world thinks the conflict in Palestine, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan are separate issues, but the Combatants that fight the Coalition consider this a Global Jihad. Why do you think countries that were not involved militarily in this conflict still have terrorist attacks and plots against their civilians, economy's and military

The western world refers to this struggle as the War On Terror. Before this it was The Cold War, Then WW2, WW1, then European Colonial wars and finally the Crusades in Biblical Times. It is a never ending conflict. And it is scary that the Western World's way of life, and economy’s are chained to the oil from this region. The West and U.N look at this conflict as a War On terror with religious aspects. In most cases it is a war for rights, freedom and self governing. Remember the West helped fuel the fire in this region. Most do not realize that the Americans have spent roughly 300 BILLION dollars on the war in Afghanistan. Think about the costs that were not revealed to the public. In conclusion: Politicians and world leaders should take a serious look at this conflict and see if there is a realistic end in sight.

50 000 immigrants disappointed, Visa lottery Glitch

 

Many immigrants disappointed Visa lottery Glitch

A major computer glitch, affected a group of hopefully U.S immigrants. There was a computer glitch with the United States Of America's State Department's annual worldwide Visa Lottery. 15 million names were supposed to be entered in the lottery for 2012. 50 000 immigrants were informed that they were selected to legally live in U.S.A., but because of this computer glitch a portion of the names were not entered into the computer. So the selection process was not 100% fair. The outcome is, this group of immigrants that thought they were U.S citizen, but now are required to re enter the Lottery with the original 15 million names. Talk about dropping the ball. This is a pretty unfair mistake.

One of the reasons America use the concept of a visa lottery, is to receive a diverse selection of immigrants. The lottery works like this. 90 000 names are selected through the digital lottery from a group of 15 million names selected for the lottery. Through a process of attrition, the final group of 50 000 are selected through a interview process. I think this is a unique and excellent way to select new people for a country. But before phone calls are made to the winners there should be a few different verification processes in place so this exact issue would not arise. There is a very large group of people that now feel cheated. This is not a good way to welcome individuals into a country.

Tyson World View wants to give my deepest regrets to the immigrant and family that were chosen through this lottery, then rejected based on a error that was out of their control.

Conservative Majority Trouble in Canada

 

Conservative Majority Trouble in Canada

This is the outcome I truly feared. I thought maybe the NDP and the Liberals could stand united against Harper and his Conservative lackeys. Well I was sure wrong. I’m glad to see that the NDP came out stronger then before because of the election. At least Jack Layton will try to give the conservatives as much as a headache possible. Layton did have an almost spotless attendance record.

I don’t understand in this poor economic time why the Canadian Public, which in some cases have lost their lively hoods, jobs, homes, good credit ratings etc, would allow a Conservative majority. Well I guess the rich make out well, tax reductions for large corporations and the upper class, while small business, and middle to low income families will pick up the tax burden. Did we all forget that this poor economic time happened on the conservatives watch and festered.

What concerns me most is that the conservatives will be in a strong position to build their new jails, prisons, they will know surely purchase the f-35 attack aircraft, extend are roll in Afghanistan, and get more involved in the Liberian affair.

So ask yourself is Canada now in a stronger position after the elections. The Conservative party is definitely stronger but what does that hold for the average Canadian citizen.

Immigration Integration in Canada

 Immigration Integration in Canada

So a few nights ago there was a debate on the upcoming elections in Canada. It was between the Leaders of the Major Canadian parties, and one of the issues that struck out to me, was Immigration and temporary work Visa's.

So according to Steven Harper Immigration is at an all time high. Which I think is a good thing, BUT and there’s always a BUT, a large portion of these workers that come to Canada, are only given a temporary work visa for 3 years. Now a good portion of these workers come get jobs but since they are unable to bring their families, to Canada the majority of their pay is sent back home to care for their loved ones in other parts of the world.

So these Canadian dollars are not kept in Canada to help are economy, at this most crucial recession. Canada needs more and better policies in place to combat the deficit and stimulate the economy. It is pretty obvious that this the worse recession in most Canadians lives. Know I’m not saying foreigners should not receive these jobs. Almost every Canadian family came to this country as immigrants.

What I'm trying saying is we should make these people feel more welcome so they want to stay in Canada and lay down roots. Know this can’t work in all cases but most workers should be allowed to bring their immediate family so the money they earn at work is spent and kept within Canada economy, and not sent to the workers country of origin. If these workers are only here for a small amount of time there’s not much reason to purchase a home, learn the language and get out mingling with fellow Canadians and finding out what Canada’s all about.

The NDP and Liberal party where explaining how even if these workers were to become Canadian citizens there is up to a 10 year wait for their immediate family to become permanent residents. See one of the problems in Canada, and most western countries is, we don’t have a high enough birth rate to sustain are growth year after year. For every person that retires, several need to pick up in their place to to keep taxes paid, and the country moving forward.

Bring over workers temporally and giving them skills, that should be kept in Canada. Instead they can take their trade back home to their country of origin. Now this other country can and will compete with use in manufacturing or any other industry. Now sure we will always need and want temporary workers but to do this on such a large scale is not good for Canada, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the eventual outcome for this situation.

So in conclusion Immigrants should receive free language courses, help settling in good neighborhoods that are diverse culturally. This way they can feel comfortable where ever they feel like going instead of lonely feeling comfortable in areas that mainly speak their native language.
