Harper's Government to Fall?

Liberals to oppose lumber agreement

The Liberals have joined the NDP in a surprising move to attempt to bring down the government. The Liberals should look back to when Harper was first elected to lead the Conservative Party, and the time it took to draft a new policy. They won't give their potential new leader any time to prepare, if they try to defeat the soft wood lumber bill.

Of course, the Harper threat of making it a confident motion could be just a threat, with no real substance. If that's the case the opposition parties (well at least the NDP) will cry out in defeat, as their positive that they can win one more seat with a new election :)

Remember a confidence motion unless stated other wise by the Prime Minister must be a money bill of some sort.

Harper's alright in the opinion polls and it would be political suicide for the Liberals to carry through with the threat. They must be confident that the Bloc will support Harper. After all the Liberals would hate to vote with the Conservatives when they don't have to. This way they can say in the next election that Harper was working with the Separatist's. Its the pot calling the kettle black isn't it?

Know Your Rights

CRTC issues 'bill of rights'

Did you know that you're legally not supposed to get calls from telemarketers hawking their goods and services with automated recordings?

Ever bothered by annoying computer messages? Well CRTC wants Canadians to know their rights

Fountain of Youth

David Copperfield says he's found Fountain of Youth

I guess some people will say anything to attract visitors to their private resort. At $300,000 a week, it doesn't sound like a scam to me :)

Maybe he should just become a Christian and he won't need to worry about the fountain of youth.

What about the bottom 1.7 million?

"Have both governments and the Canadian public turned their backs on the poorest of the poor?"

Harper needs Confidence?

Prime Minister Harper has threatened to make the lumber bill a confidence motion, that could result in the defeat of his government.

Pondering

Doug Gilmour could possibly become the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs farm team the "moral's" Could this be a 5 year plan that may see the former hockey great coaching the leafs in 2011 or 2012? Wouldn't that be something to have Coach Gilmour and Assistant Coach Wendle Clark? :)

Another thing I've been pondering is the phrases that some people find offensive. Yesterday I saw a license plate that had "Red Power" written on it. Why can Natives claim what they do is a form of Red Power, and African Americans claim Black Power as there slogan but for a white individual to say white power makes them a racist? Maybe its part of North American culture, or the fact that the major wars were initiated by white ego menaces, or maybe its because of the hot weather or oil prices? :)

Joe's Getting Married

If you visit the enlightening blog of J.L Krohn you undoubtedly are aware of the news of the day. My dear friend Joe Krohn, is getting married. Joe is a really special friend to me, I feel like I've known him my whole life. Evidently he feels the same way because he asked me to be his best man.
He and Clarissa Elaine Atchley plan to marry on the second Saturday of June, 2007.

In interview Joe was quoted as saying "It was an exciting day, we went to Cateract Falls, in western Indiana. It was a very beautiful spot for a picnic lunch, walking, playing "catch-phrase", and reading the Bible and praying together. I asked Clarissa, at a section of rock, overlooking the Lower Cateract Falls. We then went to Chicago Pizza for supper, and then headed back to Westport. On the way we stopped at Wal-mart to purchase ice-cream for Clarissa's father (a Krohn family tradition) and I also got flowers for her mother."
Best of wishes Joe and Clarissa. I always wanted a brother and a sister.

P.S I finally got to out scoop the BBB on an important news story :)

The Apples are Falling

Investors of Apple Computer INC. now know the exhurbating experience that Newton experienced when the apple fell on his head (Newton's theory of "Universal Gravitatino")

12,000

No its not the number of hits on the BBB , but is included in some of the following:

• The number 12000 is used 25 times in the Bible.
• The surface of the Earth represents the 12000th part of the Sun.
• The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 12000 times the terrestrial diameter.
• A brand of routers by Cisco (12000 Series Routers)
• Tactile12000 which is Virtual turntable software for the manipulation of digital audio files.
• And for Canadians its the value that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) finished above today for the first time since May
  

The Paradox

Cuban President Fidel Castro, health is stable after surgery or is he?
Could his health condition be a secrete US plot to assassinate him?
Or maybe its the result of being a egoistic dictator for almost 50 years has finally got the better of him.

As the Cuban leader is reassured with public signs saying, "happy 80th birthday Fidel, rule for another 80" I am reminded of a short Canadian example illustrated verbally by my brother who is too busy to post on his blog right now (according to the BBB any ways).

Sir John A. Macdonalds (Canada's first Prime Minister) was praised with similar signs to that of Castro saying "You'll never die John A", and three months to the day he was dead.

It certainly is a paradox, (at least I think, maybe not, but it made a better sounding title)

Am I saying that historical and political rhetoric are against Castro's chances? Well I guess... but I'd hate to say something profound that would undermine my "Father of Accounting" article that are getting raved reviews on the BBB.

I think the BBB is like the British BBC only its in Canada, in direct competition with the CBC. :)
