Electric Extortion

Just the other day, a worker came over from Hydro Ottawa to install their new Smart Meter into our home, and every home in the city.

Their plan, is to charge people more for electricity used during 'peak hours'. Peak hours, being anytime between 7am to 11am, and 5pm to 8pm during most of the year.

As I've discussed before, the Ontario Hydro companies continuously fail to meet the standard sales technique of supply and demand. Normally, when consumers demand more, the suppliers will produce more, and therefore increasing their business. Hydro Ottawa, however, is extortion of an essential service.

And naturally, there will always be an increase in demand for electricity. Think about it, not only is their an increase in computers and electronic gadgets, but the population of Canada is rising by 250,000 immigrants a year, and an additional 100,000 or so refugees. Who, of course, require electricity as well.

So instead of extorting prices to try and drive down consumption, they should merely build more plants to produce the power required. Simple supply and demand.

News doesn't like news

My family was sitting in our kitchen, eating dinner and watching the news on the local station. The show opened up with a preview of the evenings news stories. One exciting story caught our eye: the invention of a water-powered vehicle.

We sat through the entire hour-long episode, eagerly awaiting this world-changing story, only to find that they dropped it in favor of a gay Olympian and the opening of a local fair. Now what's with that?

The invention of a simple, affordable engine that runs entirely on water is pushed off the air by some queer athlete? There wasn't a single story in the entire program that was more important than a hydrogen car. Think about it... it tolls the end of the gasoline and petrol monopoly that has raised our gas prices to a dollar a liter. With a cheap engine, and fuel literally falling from the skies, the convenience and quality of life in Canada would raise significantly.

Yet another death knell for traditional media coverage. Already, you can access creative content and news reports directly from their sources... free, fast, and easy. Blogs, free video archives like YouTube and Google Video, and free photo hosting on Flickr. These keep me up-to-date on the most important matters, and the one's I'm actually interested in.

Oh, and for those of you still looking for coverage on the water-powered vehicle.

Academy Award Nominees

Sadly, this years Oscar nominees are looking pretty bleak. Hardly any decent and good films actually got nominated in the entire list. Most of the major nominations, and certainly the films that received the most nominations, are extremely artsy and stand outright against decent family values and morals. The only one that should even be of any interest, is Crash, for an intriguing storyline and brilliant editing.

As an avid movie-watcher, and someone who has been raised into the industry, here, in no particular order, is my list of the:

Most Under-Nominated Movies

Well, it looks like my tastes in movies aren't going to win me an Oscar anytime soon... but at least my preferences place me right into the top grossing movies for 2005.

Separation of Church and State: The Real Meaning


Over and over again, I hear people referring to the "separation of church and state". The phrase is more than commonly used by social and political groups that are known as anti-religious. It has become their battlecry.

The common argument, is that the "separation of church and state" means that religion and the church should have no part in determining how the country is run, nor with what morals it shall be run by.

I have for you here, the real meaning of the the "separation of church and state". And to get it, we must refer to the actual 1st Ammendment to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States, with which it originated back on December 15th, 1791.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

As you can see, church and religion has the total right and freedom as per the Bill of Rights to influence and determine the laws of state ("petition the Government for a redress of grievances"). The separation of church and state truthfully means that the state and government has no right or place to influence or control an establishment of religion ("Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof").

North America had been founded on sound principles deeply rooted in religion and christianity. And then some President or Prime Minister comes in and remove prayer from schools, or revoke the freedom to vocalize or print certain bible verses in public, or the right for a religious estabilshment to advise their members on which government party shares their values, or the chance for a people to rectify a foolhardy law set in motion by irresponsible legislators.

It's sad when we start to lose the values that has made our countries so great and prosperous since their very conception.

Canada Elections Warning

Please be careful who you mark on your voting ballot on the 23rd.

If you're voting for the conservatives, make sure you know ahead of time who is in the riding for your area. There is a scheme in elections canada to confuse the ballots and deter people from voting conservative.

Elections Canada marks their voting ballots with acronyms, and are using this method to confuse voters.

For the Progressive Conservatives with Stephen Harper, they are marking the ballots with the "CON"
The initials "PC" on the ballot actually stands for the Progressive Canadian Party which is basically a fake party created a couple of years ago so they would show up first in alphabetical order of the party listing. They are not the conservatives.

So when you vote, beware, and make sure you know who is riding for the conservatives in your area.

Privatized Clinics in Canada

I don't know why Paul Martin is so against privatizing medical clinics in Canada. Sure there's hundreds of reasons why Canada would benefit from privatization, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here.

There is, in fact, already thousands of private clinics in Canada, where you can walk in, have a serious operation, and OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) will completely cover all costs of the operation.

Over 100,000 of these operations are performed yearly in Canada, and all are being paid for by the government.

These operations, are abortions.

Now somebody explain to me why the liberal government will completely fund an abortion at a private clinic, but will not allow other operations. Say, having a spleen removed? Or Heart valve surgery? Or bladder stones? Or even cancer tests, such as the one my mom has to wait three more months for?

Yet More Government Scandals

Well it looks like there's yet another scandal uncovered that ties back directly to the Liberal Party. This one also links to Paul Martin himself.

It all begins with the "Power Corp.". This large corporation receives massive amounts of money in oil contracts through it's daughter companies. Jean Chrétien's son is married to the daughter of the former head of Power Corp. Even Chrétien's son-in-law is the director of the daughter corporation that made the oil deals with Saddam. Also, Chrétien appointed Paul Martin, who is currently Prime Minister of Canada, and is also being advised by Maurice Strong, who is a former president of Power Corp.

Power Corp.Here's a little graphic from over at Western Standard that shows the connections so you can see for yourself exactly how many liberals are involved in this international scandal.

Now we know why the Canadian government was so spineless in the prospect of helping our North American neighbours bring down Saddam Hussein.

Bye Bye Government

I've just witnessed the making of Canadian history.

Just a moment ago, I watched the non-confidence vote on television. The Liberals have been deemed no longer fit to run the government. The house of commons voted 171 to 131 to holding elections in January.

I am not surprised at this development, since the unveiling of the Gomery Report has already judicially proven that many of the leading members of the Liberal Party, including the former prime minister, Jean Crétien, have led a bout in organized crime that has literally stolen hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers money.

Not to mention the biblical and family issues and values that the Liberal party has destroyed over their previous terms:

  • abortion and partial-birth abortion
  • gay marriage
  • prescription of marijuana
  • law against reciting in public or printing certain verses from the Bible
  • equal justice for all not like how Svend Robinson, who was then a premier, was only given a slap on the wrist even though he stole a $6400 ring
  • complete failure to ensure the safety of Canada through military
  • refusing to stand up for international safety and peace
... and so much more, like the newly uncovered scheme of illegal insider trading amongst Liberals.

Elections are coming January 23rd! Be sure to vote for your premiers who represent the one party who stands up for what's right, moral, legal, and biblical.

More Misguided Finger-Pointing

Last nights news here in Ottawa once again showed a misguided individual taking his frustration from an accident, and using it to fuel another rediculous campaign to destroy something good in this country.

And this time, it's sticken pretty close to home.

Sadly, a highschool girl died the other day in a whitewater rafting accident while on her school Outdoor Ed trip. Her death, while it occured during the rafting, was actually due to heart failure, and not at all at the fault of the rafting itself.

However, her grieving father has taken it upon himself to put an end to all outdoor education programs in Ottawa highschools.

The foolishness has to stop. People need to start accepting things as accidents, and stop pointing the blame at reasons that are completely unrelated. It's just like how there's piles of stupid people in the states blaming people and government for New Orleans and Katrina. It's a hurricane, fools! Nobody maliciously created a hurricane to destroy a city.

I am a full supporter of the Outdoor Education program in highschools. I graduated top in my class, and helped the teachers run the course for the following two years. Not to mention I had been in Scouts for over 16 years, with plenty experience in whitewater. I am an accomplished whitewater canoer, with professional training including whitewater rescue.

Canada is a vast land of beauty and the ideal terrain for camping and adventure sports. It is only natural that the schools should offer this program to take advantage of some of the blessings we have in this country.

Cure for AIDS in Africa

The key to stop the spread of the AIDS virus in the world is prevention. When it comes to that, there is only one definate way.

AIDS is a blood borne virus, and therefore only communicable through the exchange of blood. Infected blood has to actually enter your own bloodstream for you to catch the disease.

How can you get AIDS? Not by sharing a cup, a toilet seat, or by kissing. You would literally have to either rub wounds together, share a needle, or have sex with an infected individual. We can probably rule out rubbing wounds together, and somehow I don't think that 26 million people in Africa are sharing cocaine needles. That only leaves one thing: sexual promiscuity. People are shacking up... in shacks. Seriously. Condoms aren't reliable, and you can forget the pill, it doesn't prevent any diseases.

You want 100% perfect prevention for AIDS?

Abstinence. Refrain from having sex until marriage. Stop screwing around. It works. Try it.

From a religious perspective: God is not a punishing god. His commandments and the bible shows us what sort of problems we'll run ourselves into if we don't listen to Him.

Hamas Confess

Well this pretty much proves it. So much for people arguing that the Palestinians are entirely innocent.

We already know that all of the major terrorist acts in the world were commited by muslims, but now they're actually bragging about it.

Hamas has started the competition by revealing their once-secretive military wing and claiming credit for a long string of terrorist activity, apparently believing that this will bolster their popularity among the Palestinian people

rest of the article
To take it further, the arrogant bastards have even posted photos, bios, and interviews of their key terrorist leaders on their website, with the hopes to gain further support from the muslim people.

I would not be surprised if those key leaders started mysteriously "disappearing" one by one...

ACLU Supports Child Rape

The so-called "American Civil Liberties Union", the ACLU, now supports raping children. Or, shall I say, the "right" to rape children.

The ACLU is officially backing the NAMBLA pedophiles (North American Man - Boy Love Association) in a large legal battle currently taking place. Two of NAMBLA's members recently kidnapped, and raped a young boy until he died. This isn't the first time, as over 200 child kidnappings, and 155 resulting deaths have been through members of this vile organization. The ACLU are arguing that it is an act of freedom of speech and expression.

ACLU are also responsible for: keeping parents from learning about their children's school studies, supporting gay marriage, supporting abortion, portraying the Columbine shootings as "expression of free speech", and for banning religion in schools and therefore removing freedom of speech and beliefs without persecution.

They are undermining the foundations our countries have been built upon. They are liberally screwing our rights, our families, our beliefs, our schools, and now our children.

Government Cycle

Do a little history review, and you'll see that, if they're not careful, governments generally come full cycle in their thinking.

Here's an interesting insight I once heard from Bob McEwen:

Government Cycle
  • Bondage -government control
  • Spiritual Truth - breaking free
  • Great Courage - fight for cause
  • Liberty - free
  • Abundance - growth in freedom
  • Selfishness - taking for granted
  • Complacency - not getting involved
  • Apathy - not caring
  • Dependency - allowing government to take care of needs
  • Bondage - back to full government control

Pretty revealing isn't it?

Where do you suppose we are today? I'd place the USA at the Selfishness stage, and Canada down in Apathy. Sadly, Canada seems to be moving down that list pretty quickly...

Use More Electricity

Another week of blistering heat and humidity. Remember what happened last year at this time? A massive blackout. All because people were using up more electricity then the government was making, and it overloaded the circuits.

Their solution? This year they're warning us not to consume too much. Already this summer there has been minor brownouts througout Ontario.

If only they were smart enough to actually produce more power. Build more dams, windmills, power plants, and nuclear plants. Then our country would at least be free to use electronics when we want them. After all, we're paying for electricity anyways.

Everyone should use more electricity. Turn on your lights, your TVs and radios, your fridges and stoves, your airconditioners and fans, and turn on your computers and your laptops. Maybe if we caused a couple more blackouts, they'd wise up and provide us with an essential service that's actually reliable.

Terrorists Bomb London

Thursday brought us yet another reason why we must crush terrorism at its roots. It is apparent that terrorists will not rest with 9-11.

The latest: bombing various metro rail and bus systems in London, England.

The culture that the terrorists come from teaches fear and hate from their earliest childhood. Believing that they can push us back and terrorize us through their methods will be their undoing. From what we've seen in the US after 9-11, and now in England after yesterdays bombings, it is easy to see that we will not be intimidated!

Evil will triumph when good men do nothing. Come together! Our nations need to unite to defeat the evil in terrorist countries. Stand up for what is right and biblical. Letting terrorists and evil men get away with these acts only promotes more.



On a side note, when looking at the location of the blasts, and the times inbetween them, it is possible that they were placed by one man, or group of men, travelling along a single route.

Stop Helping Africa

Here's an interesting article on why you should stop sending aid to Africa:

SPIEGEL: Stop? The industrialized nations of the West want to eliminate hunger and poverty.

Shikwati: Such intentions have been damaging our continent for the past 40 years. If the industrial nations really want to help the Africans, they should finally terminate this awful aid. The countries that have collected the most development aid are also the ones that are in the worst shape. Despite the billions that have poured in to Africa, the continent remains poor.

Liberals Rear-End Canada

Well it's official, Canadian Liberals have completed their first major campaign to destroy the foundation of marriage in Canada.

But it won't stop there. The next step is to destroy the minds of our children. The gay coalitions have already made preparations and have rewritten the basic curriculums for all public schools. They will now begin teaching sexual education to even younger ages, and openly encouraging homosexual behaviour, as well portraying the act of sodomy as regular natural intercourse.

In a few years, we will be welcoming entire generations of youth who have grown up while being encouraged to pursue degenerative behaviour. Personally, I would be sure to home-school children, as the Canadian government can no longer be trusted.

The light in this all, is that the Conservative party has just commited that they will bring up same-sex marriage in the next ellection, and make it a major issue to consider.

Global Warming: The Real Reason

Of course we already knew that the Kyoto Protocol was one massive $10 billion waste of Canadian taxpayer's money, but now comes even more proof... and this time, from the scientific community itself!

Over the last while, a petition by the Science and Environmental Policy Project has reached over 15,000 signatures from known and respected scientists from around the U.S.

The scientific community has finally agree. They have finally discovered, decided, and agreed upon the real reason for the Global Warming (of 1 degree in 100 years) is not created at all by greenhouse gasses, but instead, the change in global climate is entirely due to... (drum roll please)... the SUN!

(fancy that?)

Defend Marriage

We are steadily approaching another fall in the values of this country.

Defend Marriage as it was designed to be!

We talked to a PM today, and were told that Paul Martin plans to settle the gay marriage vote by Monday Night.

We cannot let a mere 300-plus people decide the future of civilization in Canada. Especially since the Gomery Inquiry has broken loose, we know that about half of those PM's are untrustworthy and immoral to begin with.

Now, more than ever, we urgently need to talk to our PM's, and explain to them the foundations of marriage that this country has been built on.
