CANADA IS BROKEN
WHO WILL COME
TO LIBERATE US?
We in Canada are fallen victim to the realities of a changing world. We are slowly opening our eyes and realizing that governments of the world all are infected by the same cancer. That being greed, wealth and power.
No matter the country greed, wealth and power reign supreme. No matter the political ideology at it’s core root it is all the same. Right, left and everything in between has lost integrity and moral disciplines.
It appears that no matter the ‘ism’. They are all in it for the money and power. The average tax payers has been grinned down to nothing more than just another number in a sea of numbers.
Look at the recent fiasco with the abrupt resignation of the Conservative party leader. Few years back again when Patrick Brown was leader he had to step down. Don’t get me wrong. I am not just picking on the conservatives. The Liberals are no angels. It is just that the Liberals marketing scheme is better than that of the NDP and conservatives.
Corruption is all around us. Under the Liberals we are slowly eroding Canadian standards and principles and allowing the injection of foreign interest to change our laws, our policies and our standards.
This is wrong. We as Canadians are to passive. We utilize the ‘it will never happen here’ mentality. This type of collective acceptance of reality has proven fatal in many other global villages. Look at Syria!
Do you think for a moment they would face what they have? We in Canada need to regroup and take back our country before it is to late and we are fooled into accepting the unacceptable.
The question then will be who will come to liberate us?
As the co-founder of Canadians for Canada. I can tell you that many of you reading this have had enough with what is taking place in Canadian politics. We as voters have no real choice. No matter who is in power we the average people do not benefit from it. We are at the mercy of the policy of the day. This has to change. Under a CFC government our resources would be invested back into Canadians first. Our standards raised and our integrity as a nation restored.
The CFC would be a welcoming and inclusive party for all that choose to integrate and conform to Canadian standards, customs, culture. It would welcome anyone from any nation that has Canada best interest at heart. The CFC would champion human rights and freedom of speech while safeguarding that no internal or external interest compromise and or infiltrate this great nations root core.
We as Canadians need to stand tall and proud again. We need to paint with one brush. We need to eliminate the thought that Canada is to serve anyone’s needs but in fact Canada is the place of opportunity, prosperity and the place for advancement.
We need to restructure our social system and bring government back to the people and not in a socialist fashion. Not in a conservative ‘us, us,’ mentality and not in a liberal fashion. As it clearly not working. We need to create the new global ‘ism’. Peopleism, taking care of Canadians needs first. Assuring that we continue to be the great nation we are. Canada.

Challenging times ahead
by Maj (ret'd) CORNELIU E. CHISU, CD, PMSC,
FEC, CET, P. Eng.
Former Member of Parliament Pickering-Scarborough East
As Canada went through the election and a minority government was sworn in, I foresee an interesting challenge for keeping our nation united and our economy moving forward.
The economy, after a relatively good run, might slow down in the very near future. That is a natural trend but the question is; is the government prepared for it, and is we, the people prepared for it?
The news is: anyone who thinks life will continue as usual is kidding themselves. There will be winners and losers.
A slowdown is in the offing; with climate change ideology in place now, automation and the new artificial intelligence revolution will require bold management and attention. The government will need to deal with these issues soon and boldly. It cannot take refuge in endless studies. It must act now in order to avoid a major crisis.
Wages, inflation, jobs and the business environment all hang in the balance. And the financial system needs to be able to withstand the onslaught of risk.
"These are worrying times."
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) says the world economy will only grow 2.9 per cent this year, the poorest performance since the global financial crisis of a decade ago. For Canada, the OECD sees growth stumbling along at about 1.6 per cent.
A reluctance to invest can already be seen, mainly because of uncertainty surrounding the effects of the climate change ideology and protectionism. To avoid the damaging effects of a recession, the government will be forced to resort to economic stimulus which will add dramatically to the national debt.
The interesting thing to see will be how the federal government will use the economic stimulus this time, in view of the fact that our revenues are heavily dependent on fossil fuels, with jobs located predominantly in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
For the moment we are in the early stages of the minority government, but because the players are more or less the same as in the previous government, they have done little public thinking on how to incorporate fast evolving issues such as automation and climate change ideology into their plans for promoting stronger economic growth.
The economic stimuli based on building bridges and roads are solutions of the past. This time the industries in the need of stimulus will be those based on the exploitation of our fossil fuel resources. The question which will naturally arise: will the stimulus be used for building new pipelines or will the government abide by the ideology of climate change, that will result in no change?
There are major risks for our national unity in alienating most of the western provinces as well as Newfoundland, another province dependent on revenues generated by fossil fuels. On the other hand, if the minority government does not play its political cards well, it can soon be defeated. It appears for the moment, that the potential allies propping up the minority government, are all against fossil fuels, and are heavily embracing climate change extremism.
In view of these alarming issues facing our nation, why would we not think a little bit ahead and take some bold measures to affect our nation positively, with a major contribution from the Durham Region.
Here is a proposal for the government that would reduce our national carbon footprint and balance the needs of the West and the East of Canada at the same time.
We need an alliance between the fossil fuel producers and the nuclear industry for the benefit of both, and the advancement of the country.
For carbon footprint reduction, the immediate response is clearly nuclear energy with its high automation requirements, and no greenhouse gas emissions. Canada has the expertise, why not use it?
Isn't replacing fossil fuel what the long term goal of fighting global warming is all about? Yes or no? No countermeasure will succeed overnight, as demanded by child climate change ideology activist Greta Thunberg, but science can help.
Nuclear power does slow climate change. Contrary to claims by those who just don't like nuclear, every time nuclear plants close, carbon emissions go up. Using opaque financial jargon, grandiose claims for renewable energy and political spin, doesn't change this.
The build rate for wind and solar is just too slow to replace even nuclear, so it would never even get close to replacing fossil fuels in time to effect positive change.
At the utility scale for solar or wind, you have to find the enormous amount of space, emplace more high-voltage transmission lines and grid connections and figure out how to deal with their intermittency.
Consumers will pay no matter what the cost, so heavy tax increases can be expected. Keep in mind, the dreaded CARBON TAX is on its way!
Operating an existing nuclear plant is much more cost-effective than even existing coal and gas plants.
Scientific literature says that a 1,000 MW nuclear plant produces about 9 billion KWhs of carbon-free electricity each year with a capacity factor over 90%. To replace that with wind would require about 3,000 MW of new wind turbines at can$ 2million/MW, or can$ 6 billion, just in construction costs. Two natural gas plants could do it for a third of that construction price, not including fuel costs or new pipelines.
Climate scientists have warned that the anti-nuclear position of environmental leaders is causing unnecessary and severe harm to the environment and to our planet's future by prolonging carbon emissions.
The other unintended consequences to shutting down perfectly-working nuclear plants are the social costs.
Most nuclear plants are in smaller towns and cities, Pickering for example, so when nuclear plants close, the surrounding towns are devastated; just look south of the border.
Local budgets are drastically reduced. The real estate market is ruined. Taxes are increased and there are always layoffs of staff, police and firefighters.
That's because nuclear jobs are the best in the business. They have the highest salaries, and there are more of them in nuclear per MW than other energy producers. The local tax revenue is better than anything those towns can get from other businesses, even high tech and gambling facilities.
Nothing can justify such social and economic loss!

THE TAX GAME
THE TAX GAME
Are we that stupid? We are led to believe that service charges are good for us. That convenience charges are must in order to make our lives simpler when in reality we are paying for what those that demand us to pay should be giving us any way. Primarily good customer service.
In my eyes and correct me if I am wrong, the more people coming to Oshawa the more tax revenue the city will have. This meaning that for the average citizen taxes should not go up but down if not stay frozen.
Not in Oshawa. The game here is make excuses in order to pay for bad decisions by a council with no direction.
Allow me to explain. Last year the people of Oshawa got hit with a 3% increase from the City and a 3% increase from the Region. A Region that has a very strong excess fund. To the tune I believe 5 million. Then why the increase?
Here in the city of Oshawa. Last year 3%. This year it on the books as another 2.6% meaning a defenite 3% again to up to 6%. Depending how council votes. Those preparing the budget blame the increase population. I say malarkey. Logically, the more people the more tax revenue coming in. The more money for the City. After all. Most of the surge in population is due to the new developments inwich most bring their own infrastructure and the city has no real additional costs. Then why the increase?
The increase is not due to increases in cost to operate but instead it is masked in order to pay down the debt owed to the Region.
Ha, to the same region that will hit us probably with another 3% in the name of infrastructure.
We in Durham region are nothing but modern day slaves. No one questions and those that do are punished dearly.
Most citizens just don’t want to get involved. The reality is that so far it will be costing every citizen in Oshawa 6% increase over two years.
Why is this allowed to take place? Could it be that the leadership is running the SS Oshawa a ground? For example. Since the building was erected by our beloved John Gray at now deemed Tribute Center. It has cost each citizens dearly. Every year we must pay for bad management and poor decision making. This facility has been loosing money since it was built. Would it not make sense to sell it? Would it not make sense to get management that gets results.
No instead it has become a norm that this facility is a money loosing asset and management has no incentive to change. They know the city will pay. And tomorrow is another day. What we need is new management, new council. In the U.S. they impeach for a lot less then incompetency. What can we do here to stop this open tap of expenditures on our dime?
